Lindsey is a great trail. I still haven’t ridden Faulkner or Tyler, maybe throw those in too and LMK

@danielrides we will be camping at Tyler State Park so I know they have trails as well then we will do Linsey.

@danielrides well Lindsey Park was awesome, so was Tyler but my style of riding was Lindsey all day. Such a great Park. 👍

@@redhourinfantry6117 Stoked you guys had a great trip out there!

You are correct! This is an example of trail builders rating a trail against itself, instead of other trails. So while the entire trail is a beginner system, they felt the wolverine loop is the toughest one there and they gave it a blue rating. 🤷🏻‍♂

​@@danielrides Haha. Makes perfect sense.

I too am excited to see what they do with it. I’m hoping they add some more features and challenge. Nowadays this one doesn’t move the needle for me!

Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, there’s a lot at Boulder and it takes a bit to get comfortable with it. This trail has more consequence than a lot of DFW. Since we shot this video, we’ve been out here more often and have come to thoroughly enjoy all the loops, including the reds. Can’t wait to shoot a fresh video with the tougher stuff.

Hey there! Thanks for checking out my channel!

@ yeah no problem I love that trail it’s so fun

@@Averagefischermansure is! I think my favorite at Spider is Viper’s den. What about you?

@ probably like antidote

Hey! My orange bike is a 23 Santa Cruz Bronson C R. My favorite bike!

@@danielrides I like how the freewheel sounds. My Favorite Bike is a 21 Scott Spark RC900 Team Issue. Im going to check out POA soon.

@@TheTripledracingteam The hub is an i9 Hydra. Very high engagement hub. 690 points of engagement and 0.5 degrees. I’ve been very happy with hydras. Let me know what you think of POA. It’s a great trail!

Jelly! I’d love to have a trail like this in my backyard 😊

@ we are closing escrow soon. We are not far from where the bench is. Can’t wait to start riding the trails.

It’s a fun trail to blast down! Spider is a great beginners bike park.

@@danielrides yeah I’m trying to go to it

I like to park at the Lakeside Towers trail access. There are a bunch of public spots down near the access point, and along the road by the dog park. They do not tow from these areas as they’re all public. The actual trail access is directly behind the big white tower of condos, there’s a large multi use path that’ll connect you to it.

Great job getting out there and getting after it. It’s never too late to get back in the saddle. We all start (restart) somewhere!

I just published the Big Cedar Race loop, which is all of the "upper" trails when the status is a yellow sign. You can see exactly what you're getting into!

@@danielrides I appreciate it! Gonna look into it

Most developed trail areas will do signage warning of a feature or risky area. I’d love to see DFW adopt this approach.

That’s tough! Yes it can be confusing to navigate. If you haven’t already take a peek at Trailforks. You may be able to drop a pin on a map and navigate in to it.

Awe, thanks man! I appreciate your kind words. We have really enjoyed the privilege of having the channel and helping people learn to ride and progress in their skill. Good job for getting out there and shooting some content. There's never going to be too much content of people on their journey to becoming better bikers. We all start somewhere!

One of the joys of mountain biking is that I can spend however much money I want, on whatever bike I want, and ride it any way I please. Feel free to spend your preferred amount of money, to ride a different bike on a different trail.

Thanks for your kind words! I’m glad you’re getting back out there. Don’t listen to any hate, do you and keep progressing. There’s a whole lot of fun trails out there to explore!

Thanks for your comment! Back when we rode this it was based off a GPX of the trail from Trailforks. I wonder if the trail has evolved since then. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Either way it hopefully gives folks an idea of what to expect.

We win together!

I agree! It is way more challenging for a bike to stop and move than a hiker to step out of the way.

You don’t want to watch me hike a bike 😂

I came back and tried it the other way, and even with an extra years worth of riding still couldn’t clear the thing! th-cam.com/video/E9388by-IV0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CIeYmtrGw5FXyfHd

That’s exactly why we shoot these videos, so folks can have a better idea of what they’re getting into, before they get there! Thanks for watching.

​@@danielridesthe worst thing if you don't have any speed on the trail which you did have in the video this trail is a complete nightmare on the hills.

You’re right! The skills park was closed when we were there due to the condition after all the rain.

I'm just happy to be out riding, and growing. But I'm glad you're spending your time going online to cut people down.

Oh no, he's having fun and enjoying his hobbies, how dare he!

@@danielrides he probably doesn't even ride...

lol real my entry hardtail and eats this up

@@GraysonLobaughI’m glad you like your bike and enjoy riding it.

Good luck! I hope the video helped prepare you.

Rode it and it was great. Your video helped a ton. Thanks for posting it. Btw. I did not see the crab but did see the root your foot got held up in. It’s in a perfect spot to nab someone foot. Thanks again and happy trails.

@@chrisreed7097 glad you enjoyed it!

I’m sure if you get out there on a weekday there would be less. Lots of folks love Erwin, see for yourself!

My first time out there we got super lost in that area, and this video was actually our second lap which allowed us to figure it out. Glad the video helps!

Yep Frisco is super easy. I’ve taken my little kids out on it without issue. Ranger at Big Cedar is a different story!

Different trails for different folks. Thankfully there are enough trails around to suit everyone.

I ride with 3L of water in my backpack. This day was pretty cool temps, so I barely drank. But I am pretty quick to toss the hose back onto my shoulder, on video it usually just looks like I reposition my left hand.

That’s interesting, we didn’t notice anything that we missed. There were some alt lines over on Yellow. Can you identify approximately where in the video it could’ve been? There’s nothing edited out.

@@danielrides if you stay on the blue the entire way, except when it’s 45’ red/blue you’ll come to a gully - simple down but up the other side has a huge root ridge - it’s along the waterway as you’re in the blue trail. There’s no go left or right path up the other side.

@@danielrides I think it’s after the blue - yellow split

@@Bushwhacker909​​⁠once we get onto yellow, there are a couple of alternative line options. We took the creek drop, was it possibly opposite that area? The other thing I’ve noticed is sometimes on TH-cam it doesn’t look like anything, and in person it looks beefy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I rode blue & red today and know exactly where you’re talking about, at around 18:04 in the video. In older videos it’s a smoother ascent but I’m guessing weather and erosion have exposed those roots more. I’ve yet to clear it myself in three tries. I think with the perspective in the video it looks more subtle and he lost no time at all crossing it lol.

😂 get those dirty miles in!

Wahoo ELEMNT, first gen

I’m on the first gen Wahoo ELEMNT. I use my Apple Watch far more. Nowadays the computer is useful for the channel to give a better sense of speed.

Thanks! It was a lot more intimidating a few years back. Nowadays it’s just a grind on the climbs.

Thanks for the tips!

Even to this day the east side humbles me! I love the plans for the dh hub, DFW needs an OZ Castle of its own.
