Downhill MTB Slugfest! Mountain Biking Captain Jack // Crested Butte, CO

- CRESTED BUTTE, CO - Downhill mountain biking at Evolution Bike Park. Mountain Biking Captain Jack.
Captain Jack starts off pretty mellow, some nice small doubles and neat wood bridge, but it doesn’t take very long until that changes. After the casual ride on the upper end of the trail, things get steep, violent, and wild. Even though I don’t take the most difficult lines in this one, that doesn’t mean you’re missing out on much. This is still a difficult techy double black diamond trail!
The start of the trail is access just west of the lift and is briefly joined with Upper Westside. This portion is quite “pedally”. Let not your heart be troubled, Captian Jack shortly breaks from Upper Westside and the rest is a downhill mtb slug fest!

Aspen forrest looks awesome.
Holy Gimbal Bashing Batman!!! lol. That trail looks like a beast.
That is a Double Black Diamond? Sheeeeiiit!
That's pretty much what my local trails are like. Steep and Deep! And, if I'm honest, not fun at all. I want the flowy fun stuff you have in the US.
You guys have some real crazy stuff over there! Can't blame you for want the flow tracks, they help alot with riding faster! Thanks JBone XC!
I've done this one! It's mad fun!
Hell yeah Stoup! Its a rowdy one with not much to talk about cause you have to concentrate the whole time lol
Amazing riding and you committed to all your lines and crushed it. I rode that trail in July and got worked in the steeps but I'll be back to conquer the Captain. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Bex! You know whats up! Those steeps aren't messing around!
Nicely done. That trail looks mighty steep and you handled it well. I love that crazy steep gnar. 🤘
I took a tag line from you in the one "Crack open a cold one" I meant to put that in a card lol! Yeah this trail was messing around, its way crazier in person than on camera, I just watch the clips and shake my head! Something for HHMTB! Thanks Shawn!
Was there for outerbike! So fun! I was riding Avery and luge demo’ing bikes! Awesome! I liked the pivot firebird 29’er and the yeti 5.5 but who doesn’t!
Dang Andrew! ALL those bikes can crush out there! You must have peeked on my upload list, Avery and Luge are both on it! But they will come out probably in November/December.
Yep, way above my skill level. Well done! 👊
Thanks Mark Rides Bikes! I was surprised I survived it! lol Gnarly stuff!
Crested Butte mountain honeslty pretty nice, I am not as good as you, and a little but newer, So i sticker to Luge, Banana split (or whatever its called) and painterboy and primer
That poor gimbal really worked hard on this one. I absolutely loved that trail and the whole bike park in general there, one of the most varied places i've been, really enjoyed how the feel of the trails on the east and west of the mountain are so different from the frontside. I chickened out on doing psycho rocks though!
Thanks Stefano! dude Psycho rocks is the real deal! I had a nice hike with my bike during a pre ride so I'm with you! I probably need to coerce Taggalong MTB to guide me on that and show me the way!
dang that's gnalry!
The Go Pro edited out the steeps in this one! lol
Looks fun! I really really need to get out there soon!
CB is THE Colorado mountain bike destination Orbie! Like Cal, you could spend a year over in the area and still have key trails to ride!
THE....
GNAR!!!!
The.........Gnar! LOL I love it!
"...minus being good at mtb." Heads straight for double black!! 😆
hahaha lol Every time I ride with my friend Taggalong MTB, I quickly realize that I'm not that good at mtb lol! Dude shreds out there!
Looks fun! Hopefully I can make it to CB next season.
Its great! You have to get out there this season before the snow flies! lol Thanks CO Mtb!
Why you gotta hit us like that, RC?!😂🤘🍻
I didn't mean to hit you Matt LOL I need to change up my stuntman mount for the "Steep AF" setting lol!
I've thought about going chin mount for the camera just to avoid the bashing but I crash too much and need that chin bar more! Haha! Nice edit Brotha!
I've seen that too, and honestly thats probably the best strategy for riding that steep tech! It also gets rid of the gimbal, you just have to have that helmet super snug to eliminate the shaking!
Those flow trails at the end need some tender loving care! Lol Kinda gives me an idea... it would be really rad if parks could hire some trail maintenance folks to keep up the trails regularly. Maybe even young adults and high schoolers to water and smooth the berms. I'm sure their summer budgets are tight, but that would be killer. Once on a regular maintenance schedule, it would likely be fairly easy to maintain immaculate trail conditions. It's letting it build up into a lot of work where it may be overwhelming. Just my thoughts! I could be wrong lol
I think some parks actually groom their trails on a daily basis. Not sure which ones though?
The GoPro affect is staggering on this one. It looks so easy compared to what it really is.
You nailed it Kris! Its hard to position the camera to show the trail its so steep and really really chunky! "A" games required!
That trail is steep af
