The Start of a New Beginning | New Mexico Mountain Biking
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 кві 2022
- Early 2022 I moved from Colorado to New Mexico due to service obligations. It was a difficult transition moving from a city surrounded by mountain biking trails to the dessert. However, I was fortunate enough to live by the Sacramento Mountains in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Anything is possible where there is dirt.
This video is the start of a new beginning here in New Mexico. This was filmed in Alamogordo, New Mexico, 3 hours south of Albuquerque. After talking with local bike shops and doing some research on Trailforks, we have MTB trails outside my area. In the future, I will be showcasing trails within Las Cruces, Cloudcroft, El Paso (Texas), Ruidoso, and more.

This is an absolutely lovely video. There a lot ofwonderful things to see. Biking is my favourite hobby. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Great work Dave. We know how much effort that you have to put into getting all these shots. Nicely done. 👍👍
I appreciate your comment so much! 🙏🏼. Thank you!
Such a sick edit! NM is legit! Looking forward to your videos there.
I appreciate it!
Sorry you had to leave COS, I've loved watching your footage of local trails here. Enjoy NM!
I appreciate the comment. I’m about to post another CO trip soon!
A fantastic impression of the beautiful place and the landscape. I like the love in your videos Dave. Great work buddy🔥. Thanks for sharing and take care. Ride on🤙
I appreciate it brother! I enjoyed making this vid!
Glad to see there is some good riding close to you. Watch out for those prickly things though 😜
You should have seen my arm. It was all scratched up from those dang plants. I swear everything out there is trying to get you.
Sad to see you move from the springs… but that place looks absolutely beautiful!
Yea NM is a different experience. I'm enjoying it so far!
Good ole Alamogordo ! My birth place right at the AFB ! Sure miss MTBing ! My pass injuries caught back up with me, just been released from a 2 week hospital stay. Hoping someday to ride again still ! Lov your vid's they still give me the feeling ! Enjoy riding the Sacramento Mtns, just as fun as the Front Range !!!
Hello Bruce! So far the area has been great. I have a lot to explore. Sorry to hear my friend about your injury. I hope you're recovering well and the road to riding again will be soon. I am very happy to hear you're enjoying the vids!
@@DavePFilms Thanks Dave !
Awesome drone shots ! Looking forward to your adventures in NM 🍻
Many more to come! Found some great trails out here.
@@DavePFilms Awesome brother 🤙🏽. Check out the Race Loop in Cloudcroft , then head to Ruidoso (which I didn’t get to make on my last trip to NM).
There’s a lot to see for sure
Ruidoso is my favorite so far. Also the bike park opens this month! I'm stoked!
Awesome, we are out in NM every October! We will have to reach out and go for a ride!
Please let me know! We should ride!
Wow.. that's another amazing ride! Your video editing is really impressive! The drone footages of you riding the bike in that rugged terrain is breathtaking! You captured the unique landscape, sunset, and rock formations so beautifully! And the reddish colors of the mountains are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
Not a single word yet still a story told. Great footage. Always so good. Getting close to that 500 mark.
Thank you! This was fun to create!
Look like a great place to ride. The desert is surprisingly beautiful. Great video!
Especially during the golden hour and the sunsets.
Very interested in learning about the area. I’ve ridden in El Paso on trips but not the other areas.
This area in alamogordo is stunning however the trails are a bit challenging to ride. Lots of loose dirt/rocks. Trying to explore more trails out there. More to come! I will eventually ride in El Paso. Seems like some good trails out there. Thanks for watching!
nice filming it makes the desert look very beautiful. You should definitely try the trails in Cloud Croft and Cedar Creek
Thank you! I checked out High Altitude Race course and the DH trail at Cedar Creek. Fun trails! So far Grindstone trail system has been my favorite. Have you tried those trails at Ruidoso?
@@DavePFilms no I have not
I went to school in Las Cruces! Best riding there is in Dona Anas, check out the trail cathedral if you already havent.
Thanks for the trail tip! I’ll check it out soon. Thank you!
Awesome video Dave!! Beautiful cinematography and sick riding brother!! Best wishes on your new journey in New Mexico!
Thank you! I appreciate the nice comment.
I actually just went mountain biking in Cloud croft on Friday and it was a blast
Did you ride High Altitude or the Bailey Canyon trail?
@@DavePFilms I did High Altitude
someone who lives in Cloud Croft told me there was a jump trail somewhere but I forgot where he said it was
@@doodlebiker3800 let me know when you find out! Thanks!
I think he said it was Broken Arrow trail
Sorry to hear you left CoS, your vids definitely helped me become more familiar with the trails I had been looking to ride and were also unaware of here. Really impressed with how quickly you were able to discover everything. I'm sure this will also be the case in New Mexico. I know they have awesome riding as well!
I'm stoked the vids have been helping you out!
Hah. I actually moved from El Paso to Denver and found your channel to explore the Palmer Divide trails. If you want any guidance towards spots and things to do in that area, I lived there for 4 years and explored any and everything around. While mountain biking in the Sacramento Mountains is far more multi use trails than anything else, Ski Apache does do bike park service during the summer, and the Spaghetti Bowl is one of the better places to ride around there. I wouldn't suggest anything except the Monks Trail and Lazy Cow trails in El Paso, honestly I found riding in El Paso to be far too rocky to be enjoyable, every fall is a big slice or going into a cactus. Don't miss taking a ride on the Rim Trail too, or any of the forest service roads that go up into the national forest around cloudcroft, there are a lot of trails that are multi use but unpublished on mtbproject or trailforks. I wish I had been able to start some kind of trail group around there, because there are so many good places to ride that just need advocacy. Enjoy the time there! I loved it! Don't miss out on a trip to Mad Jacks!
I'm happy for you brother! DEN is a great place to be. Experience the Colorado Trail. Also my favorite trail out there was Floyd Hill. So much fun! I appreciate the intel on the trails out here. So far Ruidoso has been my favorite area to ride. Ski Apache opens up end of month. Stoked about that. I'll be riding the Rim trail next month when the High Altitude shuttle is available. What is Mad Jacks?
@@DavePFilms Mad Jacks is a bbq spot up in Cloudcroft right up 82 on the main street of Cloudcroft; best bbq outside of central TX, its just a big attraction for the area
OH YEA! I've passed by that place. There's always a huge line there. I will check it out. I've been eating at the Cloudcroft Brewery. Their pizza is amazing. Thank you!
I read your description. Let me know if you want someone to show you around in Santa Fe, there's a few good trails here you would like.
nice video and thanks for sharing! greetings 👍 #ivan_mtb
I appreciate you checking the vid out!
im thinking of buying bike mtb glasses, what would you recommend?
The brand sunglasses I recommend it Oakley. The reason is because of the lens. One of the lenses I HIGHLY recommend is the “prizm trail torch” lens. The contrast of the trail is impeccable through these lenses. I can see detail much better with these lenses than clear or any other sunglasses on the market. On top of that, Oakley has a wide variety of styles you can choose from with these lenses. I recommended this to all my buddies. And they do not regret it. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
@@DavePFilms thanks, i'll look in to it
Do you ever have time to teach beginners? I would really like to learn
I would definitely help you out! Are you in the Alamogordo Area?
@@DavePFilms no brother, I’m in Colorado Springs
@@charlesreed5506 I’m sorry bro.
@@DavePFilms i had no idea you moved, I’ve been following your videos for over a year 😞
