Yo! Glad to see you back making videos brother!

WHAT!!! that trail doznt run like that anymore!

Very cool.

great vid!

Thanks for sharing! I just did this on Saturday for the first time and loved it!!! How about that climb? No Ebikes here, so while it was pain in the hole, it was totally worth it 😊

Rode this trail yesterday. It was really fun. Nice video, very realistic.

They always leave out that TERRIBLE left hand berm... on sleeping jakes video's

Nah I did it way faster

How do you get so many views I’ve had this video on my page for almost a year now only 126 views

As a newbie, Gronk was fun as hell! the jumps were not intimidating at all!

making it look easy

It's not a beginner trail IMO, but still about as beginner as it gets at Thunder. One of my favorites. There are quite a few beginner FLOW trails at Thunder, but TECH trails? Not too many and you're probably right by looking at Harolds and Trillium for tech trails that get you from middle-ish of the mountain to the bottom. Despite the washouts I'd still say Trillium is more beginner-friendly, if only for the fact that it's more popular and centralized and gives the rider a chance to not be alone for long periods of time if things were to go sideways. With the popularity of the trail they can take comfort in knowing they're not in the "boonies" like they would be in some parts of Harolds.

Trillium and Harold's Blend off Sugar Line, are the two trails I recommend to train on when getting ready for your first Black Diamond trail. Trillium had one section in 2023 that was in need of serious maintenance and got me good. Thankfully my full-face helmet saved me...again. LOL The key to Harold's is momentum. If you go too slow, the techy rock sections will stop you dead, then it's crash time.

Best trail there by far. Next best would be Gronk. Both trails can be run by beginners after hitting Sugar Line a few times. All jumps on Gronk can be rolled until the rider feels comfortable trying to jump.

i am glad you made it...to much for me

love the sound

It's hard to tell from footage, but the lead-up is basically shark-fin razors. Difficult to carry any speed though that section. Last time I raced it I cut across the whole section diagonally to avoid the danger 😅

Glad to say I lapped this trail with my bro’s all day long

I got peer pressured into going down that roller. Hit it with my feet off the pedals and only my front tire touching the rock the whole time. I did it but was way uglier than your send. So sketchy. Great job!

This isn’t lift access? I always thought it was.

now i want to try this place.... thanks for the vid

Would love to pick your brain about your GoPro settings, footage looks great

Rode that trail on a hardtail yesterday. No way I was touching that roller though. The video doesn’t do it any justice. Nice job.

Nice, what kind of bike is that?

Love that trail!!

Awesome job. I could feel the tension! It looks nasty. The incessant blabbering from your buddy must have been super distracting. I can’t listen to that when I’m trying to focus.

Treat it like a rental

Great video, one of my favorite trails! Going to be out there in October, can't wait! 🤙

Place looks sick!

GoPro effect is crazy. A lot of stuff I ride seems super steep or fast until you go back and watch it. Awesome job! Keep it up.

Awesome trail!

Beautiful trail! Mad props to the builders for not only the design, but for getting it silky smooth the majority of the way :)

Man, Snakebite is rough.

Trail looks like it's got some pretty sweet flow !

Videos do no justice to how scary it really is to roll into this thing.

I just went today I really wish I would have done all the more advanced stuff on the right but unfortunately I never got time to do it before it closed

What What....can't wait to get up there this year with you all. Great Vid and quality too. Thanks NE Raw!

good stuff :) i can't wait to get up there, awesome place to ride :)

Those last 3 jumps on Jump Start are perfect for practice and progression. Tough to overshoot with wide and deep landings. One of the best blue trails I've ridden (along with Cat's Paw, Blue Magic and Gronk.

guy in the blue shorts has ups... nice vid

First time I visited Thunder I expected this feature to be simple after watching a ton of videos. GoPro doesn't come close to showing how big and steep that is.

Best dirt on the mountain is at the top of Cable Trail

We were there the first day it opened. Slow but you can see the potential. They definitely added more spots to double at speed ... Been to a ton of parks and there's only one Cat & Mouse. Never seen anything like it.

You make some of the best MTB pov content in the Northeast on TH-cam! Been to all the parks but never Kingdom Trails (I'm from PA). Do they have a lift or shuttle or is it pedal only?

Yes it is. The downhill will wear you out more than the up. It should be named Glucosamine.

Had a blast there the other weekend.. i will definitely be going back there...

That’s some good riding, felt like putting my helmet to finish watching the run 🤙🏼

Have you ever been to highland before?

Always a good day when you post, and my favorite time of year as all the parks finally open. Went to Highland last week but not a lotta trails were open. Heading up to Creek Thursday then Thunder for the weekend. Anything new at Thunder this year? I heard they got rid of the barn drop, is that true?

Looking forward to more of your Thunder vids :)
