Thank you for suffering through the heat and humidity for us. I'm heading up to Cuyuna next week and wanted to know what this trail was like before I give it a shot.
This trail is built for those that burn for every turn. Couldn't believe the amount of downed trees after the storm early this year. Especially with all the growth and lack of people riding it , super hard to spot the up coming features to get a couple pedals in and nail the jumps. Dont know who built this section, but it looks a lot like a rock solid trail. You get more speed and are rewarded with cleaner hits if you're nailing and railing it! Did this on my hard tail and it was one hell of an exit!
Dynamite is a tough section. It seems really difficult to have the speed for a lot of the jumps in there. I do like the drop into the big table with the berm and shark fin after it, but the rest just feels awkward to me.
It does not hurt my knee. In fact, my knee is way better and more stable than it had been for many years before the replacement. I really should do a video about my knee replacement.
@@ShadLife Thanks for getting back! No issues with pulling on steep hills or anything? I like climbing and am super nervous about loosing torque. What knee model did you do? How was your recovery? You are doing awesome man.
@@MrZanecart Funny you ask. I am actually working on starting some vlog videos to help answer all these questions people ask on my channel. My knee replacement story will be in the first one.
I am currently not interested in getting an E mountain bike. I have an E cargo bike for commuting, but for mountain biking I enjoy the workout I get from riding a normal bike.

I totally agree. I have ridden it a few times since and higher speed is your friend. Still can't do the rock climb section though.
The two rock climbs look tough. 12:30. We rode Bison Run one evening last week, but did not have enough time to do the Dynamite loop.

Hey Shad! Does any of that hurt your knee? I ride a lot and am facing knee replacement sometime soon.

Did you ever think of getting a ebike?? That’s what my old ass got! Lol a bafang 750W I installed myself! What a difference for those climbs!
