Great video and riding. Too bad DMs downhill trails are in disrepair and the lift is closed this year. (2024). They had a lightning strike and the lift is broken as a result is what I have heard Single track trails still open and. Is free with signed waiver

Great! Thanks!!

I live here and i dont even know where in waconia that is lmao

Yess. Send the rock feature! 6:00

Dude, what was that you were riding in the beginning and where is old ranger road?

Are those the current conditions?

Made the trek to Paradise Playground a couple weekends back (Hour drive). It's only my 2nd season of riding. Thresh It is such a fun trail, great for starters! Bale Out was actually quite approachable, even for someone newer! I didn't try Reaper because that drop threw me off while I was staring at it. Next time for sure! Really fun trails, even the rest of Monarch. Great Video, Great Riding!

Have you ridden the revised jump line at Porcupine Pass? It starts where Ninja Beaver and Porcupine Pass meet. Great fun, great trail!

Great video. Helped me plan my first visit tomorrow. 👍🏼

Nice set! Really hard to get perspective with gopro here. The chunk of Spirit is enough to give some pucker moments alone. Make it so it's loose and you can't see on top?! Ha. Fun times!

Dang it’s like the Dust Bowl! Great riding, amazing how the thirds show the steepness of the terrain! What kind of action camera do you use?

Fun day riding with you both in the Sahara desert, that was the sandiest conditions I’ve seen up north! Conditions are better after some much needed rain. You’re checking off the ride list a lot of Duluth trails!

Nice shred session! Loose and sketchy though. Really dug those thirds at the end of you guys on that slab!

Damn. The dust was real lol. That was a sketchy time, but still fun in retrospect.

👍🌞🚵‍♂️ be well

got flashbacks to going otb on the top part of blaster like 5 years ago, need to go back to that. slabs and rock rolls look great

I prefer counter clockwise on Home Brew as well

What bike do you ride?

I've ridden homebrew 3 or 4 times and always done it clockwise, this looks good

Great first ride man, kudos! After going down Quarry, how’d you get back up to Home Brew, just back up Quarry and Snaggletooth? I love the Piedmont/Brewer trails! 🤘

Rippin’ first ride at my favorite trail system in Minnesota! Homebrew is my personal favorite blue trail in Duluth, used to ride it all the time in the clockwise direction, but you, Brian Vaughn and Dialed in are making me want to try counter next time. Snaggletooth run looked great, cool that you ripped the lesser known quarry trail too, not as many people ever ride that especially on the first ride here! Kissing booth is one of the big descents in Duluth and you got it! Would be fun to show you and others the rest of the trails here in a group setting, I ride here all the time with Dialed in who is back at it soon!

Sick riding! I really really want to get up to the Duluth trails. For the record, could barely tell it was your first time hitting these tracks. Again great riding my dude!

Man I don’t remember any of this, all I remember is starting in a parking lot somewhere up top and lots of rocks, chunk and no flow. Cut my ride short as it wasn’t as fun flow

This zone is a must! Fun either direction. Let’s get after it soon!

Yeah dude! Hell of a day. Crushing for your 1st set here! Have to hit that next time im up there!

Been a couple years since I’ve ridden home brew and kissing booth. I don’t think I’ve ever hit snaggletooth, however. Those ladder drops up top looked pretty sick.

👍🚲⭐ good day a

Was just here on Sat after Spirit. So much fun to get that flowy reward after the climb!!

Your ride has me convinced to ride here again soon, 5010 was the right bike to bring! Flowin’ through the woods is a nice change from smashin’ rocks everywhere at Spirit and Piedmont and you can’t beat the views riding here in the fall.

Do you prefer this system or Willow?

Bro, good thing there ain’t any radar guns on that trail, pretty sure you’d get a ticket. Just rippin’! Love the flow at Mission Creek!

After hitting the chunk at Spirit it’s nice to get some flow back in. Also, you checked off the most high consequence skinny in Duluth at the bottom of the Cathedral. I’m not sure if I got the name right but I think my favorite for straight up fast flow is Valley West maybe 🤔 It’s a green but is really fast, wide open, has a good line of sight most of the time and is berm’d up nicely. Nice vid man, and good afternoon 😎👍🏼🚲

man, another place I need to get back to. last time I was there I kind of blindly biked around and must have done the least flowy tour possible.

Awesome first duluth ride. That flow is hard to beat at Mission Creek!

👍😎🚲 good morning

Really wanna hit this trail! I go by it a lot on my way to the Morningside trail. I’m on a hardtail, but still want to start hitting bigger drops, like the couple on this trail

Nice overview! You mentioned the M/L frame but not your height; what adjustments helped dial it in? The Mino Link appears to be in the high position; have you tried the low (slack) position for such trails?

Awesome new drop! Nice riding from you guys! That skinny gets my nerves going every time.

nice, that looks like a great addition

Just sent the big drop on my nukeproof scout. Wasn't nearly as rough as I thought it'd be on my hardtail. Very smooth drop for how big it is.

👍💪🏽safe& strong

The anxiety I had from basically everything i just watched was insane! Keep it up!

I’m happy we got out there, and especially happy with the new feature. The steeper landing let you select your spice level as to how deep you wanted to send it but it felt smooth putting the wheels down. Also loved the signage for the new trail 🤣 But in all seriousness it’s cool a classic trail is getting some heavier options. Fitting since back when I started the Murphy skinny was the gnarliest one in town. Fun ride and great vid as usual!

This is a great video! Thanks for supporting and ripping Paradise Playground at Monarch🙌🏼

Nice work buddy !! 🔥🔥👍👍

Great vid! After watching I can’t wait to get back to Monarch. Thanks for the content and highlighting what his probably the best new trail in the metro

So so so rad to have this in Southern MN. Couple of those lips almost got me on Saturday too!

👍👨‍🦽 be well

nice! (except for that last one). went to check it out this morning, very fun.

Those two blue jumps (where you crashed) have kind of weird takeoffs that want to buck you forward. Glad you were okay!
