    This is by far the best course preview video on China peak! Nice work and thanks for the high quality content. I’ll definitely analyze this vid going into next year.

      Thanks Jeff 🙌🏻 Much Respect, I am stoked I got to see the place for the first time and bring my GoPro for the journey! Since I’ve edited this vid I’ve probably watched it over and over almost a hundred times trying to cut everything up & I’ve noticed so many more lines and options that I missed in my two days of practice and race excitement! It’s amazing how many options are really out there & I’ll be stoked to come back and see if I can improve on next year also! 🙏🏼😎

    #1. Go pro lies... that track is so much steeper and dangerouus than it the camera showed. #2, it reminded me so much of Glorieta, NM Jagged Axe trail or Chili Dog, #3, great run Jay, that track is pretty much DH course and you did fantasteeq!

    Wow!!! This is a terrific video of China Peak. Having ridden at Mammoth and Northstar for a long time, I agree China Peak is overall more Gnar. Maybe this is the next EWS site in Ca? Dude, great ridding and thanks for posting this vid. I've gotta get out and ride this!

    • @bike_somm
      @bike_somm  3 роки тому

      Absolutely… key words being “Kinda” lol it’s so much more gnar than most of Northstar in my opinion! 🤙🏼🤠

    Really enjoyed the video! congrats on getting up and finishing. tough terrain. its our backyard and ride their all summer long. rarely the black diamond stuff. I have to give a try this year. Does MTB Norcal sale the jerseys? I've look but couldn't find any. would be a great and easy way to raise some money. perhaps its for members only.

    • @bike_somm
      @bike_somm  3 роки тому

      Awesome to hear thanks a bunch! I’m sure if you reach out to them on MTBNorCal.org or Instagram they may be able to help ya get one! Or I’m sure they will have another Jersey idea soon!

      If it looked Gnar it must have been Gnar! 🥵 Thanks buddy, so much different in person then I could have imagined! Yesterday was the first day I rode since this race & I took out the road bike and punished myself a bit to really get ready for Shasta which is next.. not this weekend but next! 😎

    Nice riding man! Do you have to climb to any of the stages or is it always a lift?

    • @bike_somm
      @bike_somm  3 роки тому

      Thanks. Our first stage (stage 3) was a lift.. followed by 9+ min of descending then we climbed about 1500ft to stage 1 & 2 descending another 8-10 min then climbed that same 1500ft back up for stage 5 & we got a lift to the last stage 4
      All in all the day was about 7.5 hours of being out there & I was mainly just happy to be able to finish the race ☝🏼😎

      I’m about 5’11 3/4 tall & full 29 for me! Tires Maxxis Assegai 2.5 Exo+ or DD casing front is my preference all the time & in this race I tried a Maxxis DHF 2.5 Rear tire with DH casings and Max Grip Compound for extra grip and protection! Other favorite rear tire is the DHR2 2.4 WT DH casing rear tire Max Grip compound
