Indeed, I wanna ride these trails in the dry one of these days...The name of the trail network is misleading haha

I tried to time it, but missed. This trail has beautiful wild flowers if you time it appropriately!

Thank ya, I really appreciate that! Just trying to share the fun I'm having is all

I think I still like CCDH more, but Reverence is pretty awesome and provides variation and is an awesomeeee bang for your buck because of the grade

Rode Rev for the first time last weekend, it was good! I'll go with ya whenever! I still need to hit CCDH.

@@SDpov For sure, I'm pretty much always down to ride! But yeah ccdh mainly has higher speeds!

Absolutely, just love mountain biking and sharing with anybody who cares to see (my very basic editing lol-i don't want it to feel like work)! Those trails were decently steep and of course a hardtail is a bit undergunned haha

@@PNWMountainBiker Love it. I'm getting into trail riding after being out since my teens. Just upgraded to the current San Quentin 3 and looking forward to the fun season in the southwest.

@@jeremyb1168 Niceeee, lots of places I'd love to experience out there, but the same could be said for many places in the US let alone the world haha

absolutely lol...but i think up top it was probably closer to mid to low 50s so not too bad that day

huh? on a bike? at work?

Haha if it helps, I was not expecting it to be so bad up there....Once I got down a bit lower, the conditions were definitely better I also just love mountain biking "too much." haha

Yeah, I can understand that. I've only gone out there alone once! But in all honesty, if you've done ccdc you've done a decent bit of the climbing and once you get back to ccdc it's mostly just downhill from there! I personally think its worth it for sure!

Nice, I got mine in August as well actually

It's worth it for sure! Lollipop+ccdh is an incredible ride

Yeah, absolutely! Figured it'd be fun so why not. I'd overall its been incredible and I love it. So I don't know about the newer spectral/spectral ON, but I'm not the only one who has had issues with the headset, so Im just warning you! Apparently, it's pretty common. But hopefully that helps! I feel like its been awesome

The crazy thing is I got it another few hundred off!

Thank you, I appreciate that! It was such a solid time...If you've never been there my only tip is if you do dirt surfer, take the cutoff little blue trail that connects from Baby heads...the first half of the trail isn't worth it in my opinion!

I've had a lot going on recently, so I've only been able to ride them once, but at least with the preliminary ride they are crazy awesome. Even the power seems way stronger than both the XTs and the Codes. Im excited to start becoming more comfortable with them

For me, I enjoy it, but just like CCDH more and the jury's still out on reverence as I haven't ridden it enough yet

Thank ya, I really appreciate that! It's definitely a fun bike and Im glad I did what I did! I was contemplating between building it up and selling it, but it has some priceless sentimental value to me was the main block haha

Thank ya kindly! I've definitely loved the bike, especially once I got it dialed in. I would be too. It was also an extremely wet day that day, which didn't help either. But this is a place I can't fully say, but can tell you its the worst kept secret if that helps

@@PNWMountainBiker Yeah, riding in the wet is always a whole different experience. Appreciate it, it’s probably exactly where I assumed it was. Love the videos, keep em coming!

Well that's good, smaller issues which is great. My headset problem is more annoying than anything else. How do you like that bike? Definitely looks cool

@@PNWMountainBiker best bike i've had by far. I live in much flatter terrain so the geo works really well, cause it pedals almost as good as an xc bike, but when it gets gnarly (relative to Atlanta, Georgia), it can hold its own.

@@whitetiger7084 That's good then. I think the bike looks so good. I wanna say I've seen it once around here in the PNW? But to be fair I see a lot of big bikes

​@@PNWMountainBiker the headset problem can apparently be solved by replacing the top dust cover with a Cane Creek or Ritchey ZS49.

@@mangoshake Do you mean their highest end one? I think the dust cover was blue?

It's so good!

thank ya kindly!

Might be a hot take for some and though I've only ridden it twice it's probably my favorite trail at north slope

the trails are just truly world class

Im riding the Spectral 29 CFR!

Thank ya kindly! But yeah, the climb was suchhhhh a grind, but it was so worth it! BC loves their insanely steep grades (comparatively). I've only hit a few of the backcomb trails, but they were also quite sick!

haha yeah it was so unfortunate, but I just got to a point where I stopped shifting into that last cog

Yeah, absolutely I've been thinking about trying to make one! With my schedule over the next few weeks i probably won't be able to get it done until September unfortunately though! I appreciate the compliment!

@@PNWMountainBiker All good man keep up the great content!

I'd probably say yeah as it may ride more efficiently and if you aren't doing much in the way of mountain biking there are other more efficient bikes. But if you want a softer feel and the price is right a full suspension may make sense. But if you're predominantly on the road there are bikes that would be way better suited for cruising on asphalt

Whoops, I completely forgot I said that, my fault. Yeah, I agree it is part of Appalachia. But there are plenty of adventure rides out here and in BC as well. The bike specific trails just hit different than multi-use and hiking trails, but I completely understand!

It was genuinely incredible and I think you'd love it

oh hey me too!

@@OutsideInWA that was one very quick reply

@@OutsideInWA we might have saw each other on the trail ;)

@@WeLoveGenericVideos Wouldn't be surprised, was there 12 - 5 LOL. Bike description?

@@OutsideInWA I was there around the same time, I ride a stumpjumper s2 alloy I believe, been a while since I bought my bike and I just plain forgot which bike I have lmao

laps on laps! well, almost lol lap on laps

Thank ya kindly!

I don't think he actually posted anything, but he follows me on th-cam.com/video/PNCvcu-r6mI/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/asvBM51RMFA/w-d-xo.html

Awesome! The extension its really awesome and genuinely has some fun turns and flow to it. The part after the road also has some sweet tight and fast single track! You guys designed so well

It honestly isn't too bad, it just looks really janky. But at least when we were there, it was mostly sturdy

They're pretty sweet! The jump line are genuinely awesome...Some of the other trails are worth it as well like Derailed was such a surprise and Cool Runnings was sick

I think I actually saw a video of it. Might've been from you actually? Or maybe trail pittsburgh idk, but yeah it sounds better. There was just some awkward up and down on that trail, but I think moving to the PNW has ruined my perspective on western PA trails. Its cool that people are making some more enduro/DH trails like tower hill and allegheny gnar (though Im not totally sure where that's located), but with the lesser experience building trails some of them don't seem to flow super well (tech or actual flow trails) but hey its a start! Also realized Im subscribed on my other account that I use for my own viewing and not from this channel!

It was pretty cool! They had a really awesome flow trail on the other side and the blue jump lines/dual slalom track we did were also awesome. We didn't hit the single black jumps though

It was insane!

Indeed! Yeah I love the paint job on this bike more than any other hardtail (of course super subjective). So, I'm 5'9" and Im on a medium! I know that doesn't help much, but I also think I remember the medium range went to 5'10"?

Definitely a killer paint scheme on that! So I ended up purchasing a 24 sq3 frame with the white/black/red color way and will do a frame swap. I think in my larger size bike the seat tube is just too high and I’m not very happy with it. Yours looks great in that med size!

@@seok1607 I really like that color way too! Its a fun bike for sure, but yeah running into the saddle would be such a pain so I can understand that

For sure, we did a couple laps of tres that day!

There's two main trails over there...You have to pedal maybe like 2/3 of xanadu or just from the bottom. It's not too bad of a climb and is over pretty quickly. Tres Hombres you can shuttle, but just know the drainage ruts on the road are atrocious

Eastern side of the cascades is full of views like these

Looks like maybe Taiwan? Im not sure...but it's a German bike brand though

Thanks, I really appreciate that!
