Huge gap too! RP is definitely unique

Hmmm I think in September? I’m not sure. It’s been too long away from the bike!

Thanks!

Yeah, I’d say it’s like Rocky Point with less off-camber and wider runs. Huge jump lines, you can lap the first sections but after that, gotta go all the way down! Granny’s Kitchen is the “crown jewel” imo. Way above my level rn, looked gnarly.

@@GLeSnail we're going to hit this the moment we stop getting drowned in rain up here. God I cannot wait for mountain bike season to start.

@@ChristopherBloom enjoy it! Get there early, not much parking space and the only road there is a little narrow, I have a 1500 and with other full size it was a nice squeeze. 😂

Oh dope! Now that makes sense, lol thanks for the info!

I think my magnet came loose due to falling a few times in a rock garden. I tightened up the magnet and haven’t had the issue since, and i still fall every now and then. Lol IMO, it’s one of a few flaws on this bike, but overall I don’t regret it, just wont get another one.

Yeah, I found it to be a good spot for someone just getting into it. Nothing special imo.

Dope! How was it?

@ it was wet!! But man it was fun!! It’s my first time out there!!

Yeah I was riding scared with the clipless pedals, fun on flow but tech got too sketchy haha If you ever ride in Oregon you have to check out Sandy Ridge, Top Tier. 👌

@@GLeSnail Would love to but im a bit far. From Melbourne, Australia. We do have some fantastic riding areas down here as well and its growing all the time.

Oh wow, nice to meet you! Would be sick to ride out there as well.

Ayye good job! 👍

Haha because it does!

Thanks! This was August 22nd.

@@GLeSnail hell yeah. This makes me miss the riding season so much already

100%! Thank you, I will try my best. 🙏

Thank you! I’m probably 240 with everything on. Yeah some people say that they get good battery life from their Timp Peaks, but I’m def on the heavier side. 80nm on the climbs and pedaling was around 80-90 rpms. Turned the bike off or had it at 20nm on the descents. Overall a good bike, but I probably won’t get another one. Better options out there for a little more money, imo.

@GLeSnail Yah 80nm on the climbs will definitely zap a battery, that is almost max power. Makes sense. Don't think you can get anything better bang for your buck right now, $5k for their DVO build is a steal. I've been riding DVO stuff for years and it is amazingly plush.

@ If you’re looking to just get out and ride, I agree. Top bang for buck on the market. I’ve heard great things about DVO, idk when I’ll get a new bike but wouldn’t mind testing some out next year. I forgot to add my gear, I wear a hydro backpack and just carry a knife, multitool, and some snacks. I was actually going to do a video of what I carry on solo rides, but didn’t know if it would be interesting to anyone.

Dude, 100%. Climbing is the only time we get to “smell the flowers”. Lol I’ve also learned to just pedal slow now days.

Of course! One of my favorite places to ride now and I haven’t even scratched the surface! Hoping to catch some dig days when my schedule changes next year. 🤘

Thank you!

Haha you’d get there!

GoPro Hero 11, 5.3k 25fps, ND Filter for sunny days and cinematic motion feel. Shutter auto. 0 exposure. 10-bit rate. ISO 1600 or less.

@@GLeSnail ❤️❤️

Thanks!

Yeah dude, hard to beat it.

😬

​@@GLeSnailin my defense it's new one for me

😝🤘

Thanks! The videos coming at the end of the year will be even clearer and less shaking.

Haha it does look familiar!

Yes! I’m so close to getting the proper technique down!

Fosho, thank you!

Thank you, learning how to ride MTB has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in a while! Lol

Rn I have 50

Thank you!

Thank you! Ride safe out there. 🤘

Haha 100%, I’ve ran this trail maybe 5/6 times and finally feel like I’m getting comfortable with the speed. It’s a classic imo!

Hmmm, I’m not 100% sure. This is my first year riding there but from what I understand of the coast, it’ll probably be soft/loamy on the greens and blues and muddy with wet roots on the blacks. Anything running on the Defib/Passive Aggressive lines will be sketch but technically challenging!

Haha thanks you!

Thanks!

The run out is more sketchy imo lol thank you!

Yeah ride them at your own risk but there’s a mix of class 1 and normal pedal bikes almost anywhere you go, including this trail system. Soon Class 1 bikes will be everywhere except on purist owned land, and noone will ride there lol jk. This is just my opinion though. I believe it comes down to sustainability of the individual area. Evergreen does an amazing job here specifically and it’s difficult to ride these trails at the rate where they’d do real damage to the system. We’ll see how things progress.

Right?! I’m getting more comfortable with speed now but I’m still too cautious! Yah boi still on them brakes! 😂

You may have run into some of the locals I ride with! I was at Stubs yesterday. That climb to Evil Twin is a hike for sure, I’m glad both of ya’ll are good, it gets spicy in the mud! 😂

Yep, you can definitely feel when it’s off. I forgot to pop my toes on the first one, little dead sailor action. 😂

100% it was a silly crash and after those your mind isn’t in it! I haven’t, I’ve heard mixed reviews. 🧐

@@GLeSnail Mixed reviews? RP is nothing but fun and they just added some super steep new stuff. It's the closest to me so I ride it a lot. So much fun.

Haha right?! So far every spot I’ve been to in the PNW has been top tier. I’ll try and check RP out before I move!

Thank you! 😬

Doope! It’s a good entry bike with better components than you’d normally get, just a few nuance things that happen with bike ownership. Good luck!

Didn’t have any on hand, aaand I’m a lazy DIY’er. Lol

@@GLeSnail ah got you, the teflon is good to keep it steady with all the vibration and stuff.

If my quick fix doesn’t do the trick, I’ll give the teflon a try. Thanks for the help!

@GLeSnail oh ya you got it man, hopefully your fix does hold though lol

Thank you! Maybe in time. 🙏

Haha I appreciate that! yeah I’m conflicted on keeping the super slo-mo’s, maybe taking up too much time? Idk, I do enjoy watching the fails and trying to see what else was going on while I’m face planting.

@@GLeSnail I would leave a couple in. The rest of the video is good too!

Thank you! They’ll keep getting better. 🤘

Nice! Ride safe and have fun, dirt should be 👌👌

@@GLeSnail How did you access Evil Twin? Is the climb at the top of Passive Aggressive? Trailforks isn't clear.

Follow the climb to Low Tide, then stay left at the split to go up towards the Twin Peaks summit. Once you round the base of Twin Peaks, the service road splits, stay left and keep climbing up towards Twin Peaks summit, stay on that road until you see the Pacific Ocean. If you have strava, my account is linked on my YT profile if you want to see the route.

@@GLeSnail Cool! Thank!

@@shaunbarrett5284 good luck!

Yeah that’s what I’m leaning towards! Thinning is the last thing I want.

Lol OTB. UTB. EBT. CCTV. Thanks!
