I hiked Rainier in the winter of last year. I didn't approach the mountain at the angle I intended, and the snow was bad, but I learned.

My favorite SOTA experience to date. You did a great job of pushing yourself and knowing your limits. The juice was definitely worth the squeeze. (:

The party boat area is called “the pig pen”, and boats raft up together sometimes 10 or more, and most anything goes.

Damn bro that looks freaky. Nice work and getting out of the comfort zone.

I like your videos but maybe more views of what’s around you and less shots of just ppls feet and tips of skis while walking

If you don’t live here, and are not from here. Yeah, your opinion doesn’t matter. Respectfully.

Welcome back! So how would you compare this to, ya know, those certain unmentionable double black trails which we definitely wouldn't have the bad taste to name? Barring that, how about say, Predator or Double Black Double Down? Or an actual sanctioned trail expert trail in BC? Too bad to hear Skyline is so beatup.

Any plans to climb in winter 2025? Looking for a company

I guessed at a broken wrist for the drumming excuse.

Its back!!!

Nice Video 😂😂 funny

I ran into snow near the top of Ranger Creek one time turning it into an out and back. Brutal.

I have bad memories of hiking that trail out of Cultus Creek campground up that hill. Sometime between the mid-80's and the late 90's, the trail that exists now was rerouted from the original path which-- I know this is hard to believe-- was even steeper.

Rode my Beta Evo300 trials motorcycle on this trail yesterday but went backwards from the OP's original route (up from the campground) and I can assure you the trail had gotten much worse in the last 3 years from the original video. It was not for the faint of heart when I rode up and across that large rock face the the OP had to portage his bike around. The root sections on this trail are the worse I have every encountered on a PNW trail and I don't believe I could have done it on one of my enduro motorcycles. I rode the same route 17 years ago and survived a brain tumor that I discovered later that same day so yesterday was my homecoming ride. If you are riding this loop on a bike my hat is off to you as there are much better places to beat the crap out of yourselves and your equipment here in the PNW.

This monument is called "Agora" by Polish sculptor and has nothing to do with American-African history!

Nice job. Chicago also has a couple hundred miles of trails in the forest preserves that are all accessible by Metra train. I would rate Chicago almost up there with Minneapolis and perhaps Portland for both leisure and commuter biking. It doesn’t get the recognition that it deserves.

I hate this trail. Never again, i imagined that if someone would do that with an heavy ebike the person would be screwed going down palisades. Its still a good memory :) we climbed ranger up and the other one down but way too late :)

You should come to klootchie creek in Seaside Oregon, you won’t be disappointed

Geez. Let me build you an eBike. You will like that road much better. I was up there last year. A ranger told me they are fixing up the tower in order to rent it out.

Our first time in the gorge this past weekend. We drove past this after visiting hood river and I was wondering about it - glad we didn't do it. We did the Wahkeena loop since we were staying near there and that was a great hike with some great waterfalls and views.

Thanks for the video awesome video! I backpacked this trail this weekend and saw bike tracks. I don’t know how you do it! As you said over and over lots of exposure. Because I was just there, I did want to add that there is a reliable spring (for water) about 13 miles in from the Marble Pass side-so pretty close to the middle.

Climbing from Marble Mountain SnoPark the distance is six miles to the summit with 5700 feet of elevation gain.

Saw a wolf up there near the S Gunsight TH last October.

Wenatchee is great for an in-state ride, and I go there frequently for day trips. Since I have to travel, I prefer to take my camper, and Bend has free camping next to the trail network. Wish Wenatchee did.

Glad I spent 20 minutes watching this. Your commentary is honest and enjoyable to listen to. As someone who grew up somewhere else, I was very happy to discover how bikeable most of Chicagoland is. As someone else mentioned we have plenty of hilly singletrack outside the city. No mountains but enough to get your heart rate up. Chicago in the spring, summer and fall might be the best city of them all. Winter, oooof no... But if the singletrack is frozen solid, it's bearable.

You did an excellent job summarizing Chicago’s lakefront.

Rode this for the first time over the weekend and climbed to the top on the gravel road. Definitely a tough climb, but I think it was worth it. Really fun trail, narrow single track with some super fun sections.

Voice Over...your negative attitude obviously must result from something in your personal life. Not getting enough?

Bend has fun stuff to do...food/breweries.

Palisades has the gnarliest root section before the stairs

Gopros have improved a lot since you made this video

The place where the "party boats" were located is called The Playpen. The boats line up next to each other people party and jump from boat to boat.

Do a video of yourself doing maintenance on this trail. Maybe a video of you restoring one of the bridges. That would be nice.

I've done that loop on the moto many times. Red hill had an insane near vertical 200' drop that is quite intimidating but doable.

The Playboy mansion was a few blocks from Oak St Beach. In the 80-90's it was THE place to see attractive people FYI

Great video! Loved the map, but please point out that you stopped halfway north on the bike path. It goes for miles! Come visit and try it!

That was way more interesting then I though it would be

Came for the biking, stayed for the SOTA.

Epic my friend! 🫡🫡

This trail sucks. Not worth the climb

Probably because there's better food/night life in Bend. It's got big city flavor in a small town.

Try #barebones…up hills creek lake- a former fire trail and a secret, of we…#locals. #oror

I’m local. They should have called it #ridgeline. Oh, I just suffered a grade4 A/C tear at 56!

Nice review, thanks! Upper Mission Ridge is also a fun descent, with a different character over some rock screes.

Go to where ever that is. Bend sucks

My favorite way to ride is to ride up the dirt road at the 214 trailhead and ride down the catamount. The logging on the road has opened up sections with amazing views, and the climbing is very mellow. If you’re craving a longer ride, there are sections of catamount that you can loop, or loop the whole thing. This trail is probably my favorite place to ride within a decent drive from south of Portland

Wenatchee is way better

Right... Snowshoers!

Awesome video love the commentary!

Sandstone, not granite. Sorry, I can't help but correct this.
