Thanks, stoked you liked it! Dirt Merchant and A-Line never disappoint. 🤘

@@FernFlowMtb keep it up. I subscribed

@@padkirsch Thanks a ton! Really appreciate the support, good to have you on board! 🚀👊

Haha, you’re the real MVP. Thanks for watching 👊

@@FernFlowMtb np

👊

@@mtbson hell yeah. Good change up when you’ve been lapping the harder stuff and jumps all day! Maybe I’ll see you out there one of these days…

Right on! One of my family members lives in Encinitas. Meant to get some riding in down there this summer, brought my bike and everything, just couldn’t squeeze it in. What’s the good stuff down there? Love Tasco.These gloves have mad holes in them now though so time to re-up!

@@FernFlowMtb loved in Carlsbad for 20 years. Now in Southern WA. In Encinitas area ride La Costa. A little further is Penasquitos canyon and then Ted’s near Poway is great.

@@carlsbadmountainbiker2782 yeah I’ve heard Ted’s is pretty sweet… and San Clemente. I rode Noble Cyn several years ago (chunky!) but that’s all I’ve ridden down there. I’ll definitely check those other spots. 🙏

Thanks, man. This was second week of August. They had some rain right after I was there. I heard it was hero dirt. They generally keep it pretty dialed, but not sure about late season. Have you been before?

@@FernFlowMtb Yes, this will be my 3rd time. Can't wait!!

@@skidokare88 sick, I’m jelly. Have so much fun and ride safe. But most importantly, send iiit 😁

@@FernFlowMtb yeah boooyyyh

@@skidokare88 lmk how it goes

😂, hardly. But thanks for boosting the ego

@@Stëf80811 Whistler mountain bike park. Fitzsimmons chair > Garbanzo chair. Get there, immediately! 😜

👊🤘

Whistler

Glad you think so! 🙌 This jump line was flowing perfectly that day. 🤘

Really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching 🙏🙏

@@WoodyandWilcox Thanks 🙏. I appreciate the encouragement. End of the day, I’m no pro rider so a healthy fear of big features is probably good for me 😂

Just a little!? Don't dead sailor, kids! 😂

@@FernFlowMtb Local to Portland, thanks for the new trail preview. Maybe Ill see you out there some time.

@@scotthammond6265 awesome, definitely! Let’s get some laps

Thanks 🙏 stoked for sure! Yeah, bcpov has a great video on this trail. The GoPro doesn’t do it justice. Probably why I’d ridden here so many times but had yet to clear them all. We all have a plan until we’re staring down a huge lip going Mach chicken 😜.

@@charleswhite7612 thanks, nice work to you too for hitting the bottom. I always enjoy seasoning that part too. Oh and the GoPro effect is definitely real 😂. 👊

@@lokmtb8503 thanks 🙏. So fun!

@@kirkanderton8603 glad I’m not the only one. Best to unlock them at our own pace!

Glad it was helpful. Definitely a beautiful area. Let me know how it goes if you do get there soon!

Yeah, buddy 🤜! Did you stop through Mt Shasta when you were driving up the PNW? You would love it!

Sweeeeet! Thanks for watching. I've heard that lately the line is better on the left side of that chute at the bottom. Maybe you can avoid going into the bushes (like I did) 😂😂. Let me know how it goes!

@@alexgatewood5183 I wish it were that simple. It was a long saga but finally got it sorted!

🤘🤘

Glad it was helpful! Such a great network of trails.

Nope, good to go

I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. They definitely saw me but I think they thought I was going to take a different line further away. The trail is relatively wide so I’m sure the hiker perspective was just “go around” but from the MTB perspective, the desired or sensible line may be the one closest to where they are standing. At any rate, we’re all outside to enjoy ourselves so not trying to spoil that for anyone! I’ve had all sorts of interactions with hikers, ranging on the spectrum of positivity. Luckily, there aren’t many trails in the PNW where this direct biker/hiker interaction is typical.

So fast! I like how some natural doubles kind of unlock as you get going!

Absolutely! Thanks for watching 🌟

Yeah, it's really fun. I'm not sure about current trail conditions - I believe they are expecting rain this weekend. I would call one of the local bike shops. I believe Deadwood Supply Co Bike shop is responsible for build/maintenance in this zone. Good luck, lmk how it goes!

The rocks at Syncline are the more pointy/sharp volcanic rock. Nothing is too gnarly if you keep your momentum up to get through the chunk. Also there’s some gnar factor due to the big cliff off to the right hand side but that doesn’t really come into play while you’re riding. One cool part about this zone is that there are many line options for most sections, so you can choose a line that is more or less challenging. Excluding the ridiculous shale section, rocks at cold creek are more river-type rocks. One big benefit of Cold Creek is that you’re way less likely to encounter hikers, especially on the weekend! Thanks for watching!

@@FernFlowMtb Gotcha, sounds like I just need to give it a shot then! All the upcoming rain is def making me consider heading out that way.

Yeah, I've always heard this is the place to go when it's wet; but, oddly enough, not sure I've actually ridden here when it was raining 😄@@lennyjamz4389

lol well I'll come back to this comment and let you know how it goes when its raining.@@FernFlowMtb

@@lennyjamz4389 enjoy! 👊🤘

Agreed! Thanks for watching

Yeah it is! 🙏👊

I've conquered about 90% of Johnny. I'll post something soon, once I unlock the last few jumps. 🤘

🙏👊

Ok

Yeah it’s pretty good! Thanks for watching

😅🤘

lol, history has taught us all a few lessons out there on the trails. Levo is a great bike. I appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching! 🤘

This is Drifter Hut Switchbacks and Wendin Way Access. I usually will do this at the end of a ride and take the road all the way down to the west end of Donner Lake. www.trailforks.com/trails/donner-lake-rim-trail-drifter-hut-switchbacks/ www.trailforks.com/trails/wendin-way-access-trail/
