That’s a really cool place! I’d like to go back some time and ride some other stuff. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, you too! 🤘🏻

You’re welcome! Lots to ride around there!

I was just joking! It's actually looking pretty bumpy & steep in some spots! Looks fun!

It is a great ride for all skill levels and has just enough fun factor to keep you interested. Thanks for watching!

The entire Red Rock canyon area has incredible scenery and views in all directions! It really is a great place to ride! 🤘🏻

Glad you liked it! The color correction is definitely helping 💯!!!

Yeah, I agree on being smooth. I haven't really tried to go any further than the next step down before. It's definitely on my list to conquer for this upcoming riding season! It's also one of my favorite trail systems as well. Glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully I'll have one of me cleaning the bench in the future.

It was the middle of August I think. Don’t recommend it. Super windy the whole time too.

And when does fall start? December?

If you ain’t first, you’re last!

Fall is a state of mind. Just look at the grocery store. It’s already fall mixed with winter. Pumpkin Spice nachos.

Yep! Been there a couple times too.

@@trailstokemtb Nice. Which did you like more. FT is more grand however I like the natural environment of the creek and arch, diversity and shade available on Grandstaff. What is your favorite hike or canyon in Moab?

Probably Fisher Towers for sure just because it's so mind blowing how far you can actually see from the top. Grandstaff was a nice easy stroll and nice scenery as well, just not as grand like you said.

@@trailstokemtb I haven't ventured too far from the parking lot honestly at FT. Is there just one trail to get to that look out? It was too hot and exposed when I got there. I should have gone earlier in the AM. We did stop by the ranch for lunch. I want to go off-road on Onion Creek one of these days. We rent UTV's and head out to Chicken Corners and Hell's Revenge. In a registered vehicle, we also take on Shafer Trail and Long Canyon. All of these trails are epic.

Yes, just the one trail and it's about 4.75 mile round trip but 💯 worth it. It's definitely a more demanding hike....I would say on the upper end of intermediate. Off roading is a blast for sure just more into mountain biking than anything.

😆 stay tuned! Waiting on a new computer to arrive.

It’s a proper adventure ride for sure!🤘🏻

I haven’t been out there since this video was filmed but props to you for riding it on a single speed. It’s a cool place and and probably the best in Kansas.

Thanks! Was a really fun ride!

Nope

Probably most of it anyway. There were some rocky sections you may want to walk. Or not.

Sorry for the late reply. I don’t really know anyone else out that way that you could reach out to. Hopefully you got a chance to ride it though. It’s pretty epic.

I totally get it! My legs were cramping up about mile 19. Was an epic ride but wasn’t all downhill for sure.

And now you’re hooked right? Great place for an introduction!

Thanks!

Thanks! And God bless you.

edstud1 It certainly is!

Thanks!

Nice! Have you rode the whole system? I need to get back there and hit some new stuff!

For sure! Love the channel name!

Thanks!

Yep, that’s you!

Not sure which drop you’re referring to?

The big one

Backdraft Claps is it at the top on the little skills course? I didn’t spend much time up there. I’ve only ridden there twice so not sure which drop you’re talking about.

Trail Stoke it’s down in the forest and it’s big to me but not to you probably it’s only like 3 feet and where you land is about five 2 feet away it’s a rock drop

Trail Stoke good ridin

I think they would be a good intro for sure and you can walk stuff that you’re not confident about riding. No surprises that you’ll encounter.

@@trailstokemtb thanks so much. I appreciate your help. I just downloaded and app that shows all the green trails there. Much appreciated. Thanks

No problem. Those apps are great for navigating stuff for sure.

they are perfect beginner trails. nothing to technical however there are some hidden trails that are techy

@@robbanks4356 the only question i have is do the trails have a specific direction that you need to ride them? The app i have doesnt show if they are directional or not. Hope this makes sense. Thanks

Ha! Well, we took a diverging route by Lake Moraine all the way to Jacks. It was roughly 28 miles total and we stopped a lot so I would say probably around 4 hours.

Thx amigo

Thanks for watching!

A blast for sure!

My wife shuttled me to the top where I met two local rippers who let me tag along. We rode back into town afterward. Not sure about the gondola though. If you ever get the chance you gotta check it out. Probably the gnarliest ride I’ve done so far.

@@trailstokemtb Yeah I've been wanting to do this and post this ride on my channel. Now that I got the Ripmo 2, I think I'll do it. Check out Trail Peek, I was probably wrong on the gondola statement. I'm thinking of another trail. Check out Trail Peek, they rode it from "Barr trail" at the top of 14,000 ft. to Manitou springs. th-cam.com/video/4dL-bC1Wauc/w-d-xo.html Great content on your channel, check me out if you wish. Ride on...

Yeah they rode Barr all the way down. It’s only about 8-9 miles with TONS of hikers. We started on Elk Park at the top (zero people), cut through about 1/3 mile of Barr, hopped on Lake Moraine, and ended up at Jones Park. All in all it was around 28 miles. My route is on my Strava. Also, I checked out your stuff. Good content man!

@@trailstokemtb Thanks for looking! Also, thanks for giving me the trails you took to end up at Jones Park. Seems to be more fun route because there is less hikers and its much longer of a ride. I'm sure you were spent after 28 miles.

That’s putting it lightly! I was cramping up for the first time after that ride. We ended up at the local brewery and I could barely drink my beer. I would do it all over again though.

I’ve been meaning to get back over there. It looked promising the last time I was there!

Heck yeah that sounds great! Hopefully I can make it out there again this year. I will look you up. Thanks for watching the video!

Swope Park in Kansas City, MO. There are two loops that are connected. (Woodchuck Run & Rancho Deluxe)

Yeah, it's fun!

Thanks!

Alright, alright, alright!

I love it, but its a gen 1 Hightower. 3 years old now but still love it every time I ride.

@@trailstokemtb Actually gen 1 Hightower is much more playful and fun factor than the new lower link Hightower.

@@travelthenarrowtrail8660 yeah, it's all marketing in my opinion anyway. I'll upgrade when the time comes but for now I'm 100% happy with what I have. I checked out your video of White Mesa- good work, man!

Yeah man for sure! I rode there November 2018. I think ABQ is pretty mild most of the time so I'm sure it's hit or miss as far as snow goes. White Ridge was a blast!

This is my local trail system, I rode there on Sunday. It wasn’t too bad except for the occasional unmelted snow and mud puddles. If there’s a good rain or snowfall this trails usually good in about 4 days to a week.

@@patricktapia5525 Good to know! I need to get back out there and ride some new stuff!

@@patricktapia5525 Thanks for the tip Patrick!

Gnar Lee yeah it was a blast for sure! I wish I would have had more time to spend out there. ABQ has a lot of good stuff! I gotta make it out there again.

Always! Seems the longer I go in between rides the more I wipe out. Imagine that.

@@trailstokemtb I'm recovering from a shoulder injury now. I'll be back at it soon though. Also, it's really great to see someone riding and reviewing local (for me) trails.

Yeah, I heard that. Thanks for watching.
