Well I’ve never ridden a BMX bike so I’m probably not the most qualified there. Like the concept though!

Thank you, glad you it was helpful!

You raise great points. Chin mount is much smoother on technical trails and certainly captures focal points better with a vertical aspect ratio! 🤙

Happens a decent amount with groups of people 😂

Lebanon Hills is probably the best, down in Eagan. Battle Creek in Maplewood and Elm Creek in Champlin are fun, and Monarch down in Waconia has some fun trails. Localized in Afton looks awesome and very unique, it opened a little over a year ago and I actually haven’t made it there yet.

@@robonbikesor go east a little ways into Wisconsin and hit Kinnickinic and Williw River. Both great.

@Sodastat I’ve been to Willow River, that was pretty fun and they are adding new trails which is awesome! Kinnickinic is on my short list for next season!

@ I think you’ll like kinni-they just got funds to expand too.

I always do 30 fps

No I’m not either, hope “stick season” drags on for a while this year. Yeah this was a fun ride, I’d never strung BOB and Lincoln together like that before, was a lot of fun. And found the right line on Kissing Booth finally. That trail is up there on the best trails in Duluth for sure!

Yeah they groom a lot of trails. I’m not positive about the ones in this video in particular, but there will definitely be many miles of groomed trails. I live in the Twin Cities and same for those trail systems, most groomed all winter.

Such fun trails, happy I got to sneak Kissing Booth in before the snow fell!

All good dude! Yeah so many great trails is right…. I haven’t found a bad one yet in the whole area!

For sure. We had a great ride today and hit some new trails. Kathy and I started at the zoo, went on Kingsbury, up The Puker to the top of Spirit and then came down the All-Weather trail, Kingsbury and took the pavement to Keene and then back to the zoo. A nice 7.5 mile variety with amazing views!!

@Randy_Johnson One is many routes! I remember Kingsbury being a fun trail!

@@robonbikes Lots of variety in the western area of Duluth.

Yeah those trails were a rippin’ good time! Where would you recommend going around Denver?

@@robonbikes In the metro area itself, Apex and White Ranch are both fun and rowdy tech. If you're willing to go a bit west I would go to Idaho Springs and ride Drop Shaft at Virginia Canyon park, that's an amazingly good trail. Floyd Hill and Maryland Mountain also have amazing trails.

@mrvwbug4423 cool thanks! Looked up that Drop Shaft, looks super well-built!

Yeah that’d be fantastic - great terrain at Interstate!

Ha! That’s awesome, love his videos (old and new)!

Yeah that’s quite a drop in to the rest of the trail!

Yeah it totally would!

Ha thanks man!

Nice! Great work on it, it’s a lot of fun!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Haha, soccer and gymnastics! I said “kids, go get all your medals and trophies!” They delivered. 😆. That trail really isn’t that tough, I just couldn’t ever string it together. Glad it finally (mostly) worked out!

Thanks Randy! Haha, those are all my kids’ medals 😂

They are quite different. Cuyuna offers primarily cross country trails. Tioga is set up like a bike park, with a few designated climbing trails, each going up to separate hubs, from which a number of downhill trails run. There are also a few cross country trails in Tioga as well. I prefer Tioga, I think the trails are better, but Cuyuna does have more scenic overlooks, and more miles of trails.

@@robonbikes interesting. How long are the descents? I was able to make it out to cuyuna last month, very fun and the scenery was fantastic

They vary but most are 0.5 miles to 1 mile. Here’s a link to some great maps, one has trail distances. www.tiogarecreation.com/trails/

I have always wanted to take that thing but for whatever reason I haven’t, the first few rocks just look sketchy to me. Great to hear it’s easier than it looks. Next time!

Haha that’s a great recap. Damn tree! 😡

I definitely can’t complain that I can’t “feel” the trail!

@@robonbikes You def won’t have a dull moment that’s for sure! 😂

🤣 Shlarbin! I’m stealing that!

At least the downhills! 😂 Not sure if it was the Covid, the elevation, or the steep grade of the climbs (probably a combination), but there was a lot of walking upwards!

@@robonbikes I think you’re right. It was a combination of everything.

It can yes. This spring was difficult with all the rain, the trails were closed frequently. Latter half of the season has been great, but the trails are getting dry!

Who knows when I’ll get back, had to get a ride in, COVID be damned! If you’re ever in the area it’s worth a ride for sure, super fun descending and yeah great views. Many more trails in the area too!

Nice! I did one of them when I went back and finished the traverse. Think it was just called UMD.

My brother and I biked Curt Gowdy about 6 years ago, great place, and what a place to learn to mountain bike! I remember Cliffhanger being really cool, and Canyons was a bear!!

@@robonbikes if you ever get back there you need to ride the other side where stone temple, gold watch, gold rush, el alto, and skin and bones is!

@Tkolbo_ yeah we rode that side too! Mostly blue trails, some black. We camped there for a couple nights. South Causeway Campground. First big MTB trip I ever went on 🤘 Would love to get back there!

@@robonbikes so rad! If you get back and go up the hill to happy Jack they just completed a project where you can ride from the trails at the summit all the way down to Laramie on single track like 12 miles of singletrack in one direction mostly downhill! Ofcourse then you have to climb 2k+ feet back up haha!

@Tkolbo_ That’s awesome (not the climbing bit)!

Glad it was helpful!

These were all built by trail builders

There are so many miles of well-established singletrack trails in Duluth, this seems like a no-brainer. Would be great to see future builds incorporate an adaptive layout. Did I run into you at Tioga by chance?

Either at the trailhead (1221 Theodore Wirth Pkwy, Minneapolis, MN 55422), or at the golf course just up the road. Trail segments are scattered along Theodore Wirth Parkway. I recommend using Trailforks or MTB Project to help you find the different trails (Theo Wirth is not the easiest to find your way around if you haven’t been there before).

@@robonbikes awesome, I found it thanks! Great trails.

Nope you can just go ride!

Should be a great time of year for it!

Thanks!

I heard that! Heard it’s a VERY fun jump line that’s really well built! Glad you liked it and awesome to hear! 🤘

Skied there one about 30 years ago 😂

Right! 😂

Mini 3 will take great landscaping shots. Best upgrade to the Mini 4 is that it has omnidirectional obstruction avoidance, meaning it can track and follow you while you’re on your bike, and fly in any direction while avoiding obstacles. The mini 3 cannot detect obstacles while flying sideways, or ascending, which limits the shots you can get while the drone tracks you.

@@robonbikes Great to know! Sounds like I should save my money then for the time being. I also want to get the new GoPro since I have a mountain biking channel...so many upgrades!

@WanderingWheeliesMTB mountain biking and videography, two expensive hobbies 😬

@@robonbikes I know right?! Oye, I love it though

Wish I had a little more cushion at Spirit!
