    Great video Zane! OMG I remember how slow those lifts were, my buddy literality out rode us climbing on his bike, lol. Having said that, it looks like they have done a lot to improve the trails since I was there 5 years ago. You and your boys were killing it! Great job on World Cup, that was one of my favorites when I was there.

    You guys made the MOST of those trails! We were there years ago and the trails look to be in much better shape. Surprised you like this more than Bryce... I haven't been to Bryce since they put in Hooch. Is it too big or is "Creamy" trail just that good?

    • @splooshmtb
      @splooshmtb  5 місяців тому +3

      Thanks Dan! Look I love Hooch, and it still has the biggest jumps and drops on a trail that I've ever seen... But with triple the elevation and probably triple the amount of jumps, Creamy was just a party train. The jumps are also all so comfortable and boostable, only like 1 or 2 that you need to scrub. All in all, really tough to say which jump line I like more.

      @alexthemoonsloth dude! What we're doing here requires 0 pedaling. We take a ski lift up and rip down. With lots of suspension, biking is WAY lower impact than running and other sports. It's the climbing up hill that we do, often, that'll be no good for your knees :/

    I hit Bryce, Cacapon, and the Watershed last week. Don’t get me wrong Bryce was awesome and I really improved my skills but I kinda wish I would have driven the extra 30min to Massanutten. Oh well guess I gotta go at some point this summer lol. Also, I’m a new subscriber so you may have already been to Cacapon - but holy crap is it awesome. Especially when the LBS has a shuttle to the top! Though I am moving to Raleigh NC in 8 weeks so I’ll be hitting all the Pisgah, Asheville, Old Fort goods this fall!

      I highly recommend it. They do a really great job with the shuttle. There's a paramedic. With the right navigation you can take laps that last 2hrs plus. I have a list of 5 shuttle laps that I would run regularly (before I got neck surgery last summer). It's steep, it's rocky, it's bumpy and the people that ride there are a lot of fun. 5 double black diamonds blind in 1 day is personal best there. I hope you make it a priority...that's a day on a bike you will never forget 🤠😉
