- I head up to Duluth Minnesota to take on the rowdiest double black trails in Piedmont: DM, BOB (Bones Of the Beast), Dr. Rockso and more...
I come with ambitious goals, trying to knock them down one by one, meeting great people and excellent riders along the way. Come along for the ride as I push harder than ever before. I get beyond my comfort zone and subsequently over my head in this beautiful Duluth landscape.
Enjoy!
&
Stay Dialed in my friends! - กีฬา

Tom! You couldn't have asked for a better guide on DM and BOB. That dude rips. You did great for your first time down those trails. Nice Work!
You’re not kidding, I was incredibly fortunate to run into Tom. Great guy, Excellent rider, super helpful. Thanks man, this day was definitely an all in sort of day, I conquered so much trail I’ve never attempted in one day it was ridiculous. Huge accomplishments for me and give a massive shout out to Tom for helping me achieve some of my bike goals.
I love this guys enthusiasm!
Haha! Hope it brightened your day!😄
Love this video brother! Love the intensity and excitement you had going down these monsters! Just rode them on Thursday for the first time, this vid helped me prep a lot 👊. GoPro effect is REAL!!!
Nice!! Glad you could get out here and crush these trails! Stoked my video helped you prep for it. Piedmont has some heavy trails. Mountain biking in Duluth is something special.
Excellent video, love all the tech!
Thanks Steve, Duluth has the goods! Have you rode here?
I haven’t, I live in Tn but would love to someday. Excellent looking trails.
@@stevetravis3400 We’d enjoy your visit! Hope you make it up at some point.
Oh wow. I grew up just down the block from these trails in the 90s. They were just XC ski hills back then. I need to get back up there.
I think you’d be blown away by what’s been put in up here and surrounding areas!! Definitely check it out!
This whole section was called, "The Power Lines". Kinda appropriate for MTB rides.
Working my way up to this trail. Almost ate shit on admiral rockbar yesterday, had to walk a good chunk of it, that trail is nuts. Cased Dr Diablo and almost went OTB on that weird rock. Peidmont is nuts, beat the crap out of me but looking forward to clearing all the trails (except maybe admiral rockbar, that shit was insane)
Haha, glad you survived it! Yea these trails are no joke! It’s always a good day if you can make it out of Piedmont alive!
Love the Berm and a jump. Another classic. Keep em coming man.
Thanks for staying Dialed in brother from another mother! Love you dog.
Went there today , you made it look easy some of those rolls are huge .. Good riding .
Thanks my man! Yea, they’re pretty intimidating especially the one on DM. But after you successfully ride it you’ll see how well it works. It’s an easy roll as far as rolls are concerned; Its straight and plenty of traction.
Good video! Subbed to your channel✌🏻
Following Tom around Piedmont is super fun! He shreds at a good pace lol!! 😂 Gotta just effen hammer it. It's awesome. Love it.
Yea, he rips for sure! He was prob going a quarter pace for me, lol. Great guy!
Nice! That first roll in on DM had me scratching my head. Thanks for doing into detail on that one. Congrats on the new bike! Scout is an awesome bike.
Glad it may help, It’s technically not very challenging, just looks scary and big. It’d be wise for someone not familiar with rolldowns to practice on smaller rolls first to get the move down.
I don't why, but I like your vids over other mnt bike vids. Keep it up.
Thank you! I appreciate it. I does take awhile to edit these but I’m glad the final product is being enjoyed. Thanks for staying dialed in!
Yeah man, get it! You did a great job sending the lines. I'm totally blown away at the trails here, so fun. I get reminded of TN and Pisgah, NC trails in this one. Loved this one as the stoke vibes are strong in this one...👍
@Travel the Narrow Trail, Thanks a bunch! I'm not sure how Your reply got lost in the shuffle, but I'm glad this brought some nastalgia to TN & Pisgah NC; I've never been to either.. Glad you got some good vibes here, about to check out some of your vids. Stay Dialed! -Jeremy
@@Dialed1 NP, thanks for the reply.
That's a monumental day of riding man, these trails have to be seen in person to know just how difficult they are. Piedmont's pretty special to me, when I first got really into MTB in Duluth and was learning how to ride I remember exploring and couldn't believe people were riding these trails & features. Hoping to finally get back up there soon with my full squish for the first time and finally shred these instead of skipping them.
Yea man! By the way you’re riding I think they’re in your wheelhouse. The best advice I can give is even if you’re an advanced rider, start on the easier stuff up here and slowly graduate to the three bigger ones DM, B.O.B. And Kissing booth. If you’re good at drops, Dr. Rockso is also a fun little drop line.
That's the gnarliest shit I've seen in the Midwest.
It’s heavy for sure, It was all a little outside my comfort zone, lol.
I'm finally getting up to Duluth and cannot wait to try out these trails! So stoked. Killer riding man and Its awesome seeing the lines to take!
TkolboMTB, that’s awesome; I think you’ll really like Duluth. Are you heading up tomorrow? SireSingletrack and I are headed up to Redhead and the Giants Ridge on Sunday. Let us know if you’ll be around.
Dialed in no I won’t be heading up until October 9th and riding morning of the 10th and 11th
You’re fast brotha
Thanks! I checked out your Vally girls vid, do you live in Duluth?
@@Dialed1 Yeah I live in Duluth, Piedmont neighborhood so the trail is right out the door!
@@ianrehl4460 I’m a little jealous, that is pretty much ideal.
Awesome riding dude. That was a sick line. Glad too see you nail the second run. Ride safe brother. 🤙🏴
Thanks my man, to be totally honest I did a very slight dab around the sharp left hand corner 😂. I pumped a lot of DnB in this one for you!
Dialed in Noice !! I think your the only channel l watch, where l look forward to the music. I don’t think anyone else uses d’n’b for their vids. Having a wee dab is nothing, you kept your flow well.
Hell yeah dude, charging! Yahner and I both flat spotted our rims on that spot. Love piedmont and love DM! Nice video man. Just found your channel thanks to Brian Vaughn. Also the Scout is sick, congrats on the bike! 🤙🏻
Ridin' Dirt; Awesome man, glad you found me🤗. That spot is a bad one; I’m sure glad I had Tom to guide me to the left of it, otherwise I likely would have done the same. I’m really digging Duluth! I still want to go check out Kissing booth over in Brewer but also want to dial DM and BOB, my first runs were sketchy AF!
FYI: I did the big Dr. Rockso drop without any issues!!
Yes!!! Good to hear! Land flat or did you Dial in that landing?
@@Dialed1, dialed in.
I watched your video and rode DM and BOB today. Your video helped get me through the trails! Wow, those trails are freakin crazy, fun and scary! DM seemed to be a bit “easier” for me than BOB. I know I’ve got the skill set to do BOB, but mentally, I wasn’t feeling it, so I tiptoed down the trail and picked my spots to shred. I did the big Dr. Rockso drop today and it was great. I also did Valley Girls, which was a pretty gnarly trail toward the bottom half of the trail. Thanks for the videos. They are super helpful. How did you and Tom get back up to the top of Nimby? Did you climb Skyline or walk back up DM and BOB? There’s really no easy way to get back up to the top.
That is awesome! I’m stoked for you! Glad the vid helped you out! Yea, they’re both heavy trails and at this point it’s a toss up to which one scares me more. Yea, there’s no shame in hiking a section if you’re not feeling it. To get back up, I’ve always just taken Skyline.
@@Dialed1, the rock roll downs are WAY bigger and steeper in person than on the video!! They’re HUGE! The videos don’t do them justice. People won’t get that unless they see them in person.
@@Randy_Johnson So true, the go-pro effect is legit.
Awesome job, it was nice meeting you up there. Pretty cool to see my clip of you hucking that drop. Will get the word out for you!
It was great to meet you guys too! Thanks man; Your shot was gold, nice work!
Hell yeah man. Now I see why the last time I was up there Owen refrained from taking me down DM or BOB 😂. Truly sketchy but outstanding looking trails. Good work on the Three Sisters drop, definitely a good idea to put some of Paul’s suggested technical rock drop playlist in rotation before attempting Man Pants. The Transition is sick and the added travel suits you well. Oh, and congrats on 100 subscribers my dude!
Thanks Sam, Yea both BOB and DM are serious trails and dare I say it: The Go-Pro effect does apply here. What’s cool is Duluth has trails to work up to these steep monsters as well. We’ll get out there soon.
I gotta go here this season. It will be tough but I need a test.
Hey man! Looks sweet! I see this Scout listed on Pinkbike. I’d love to take it off your hands!
Harris Napier, sounds good, I just sent you a message in PB.
What kind of speed do you need for that first big drop on Dr. Rockso? I’ve been eyeing it up, but have been hesitant to do the drop. I’m a bit concerned about overshooting the landing, but coming up short would be a major problem. It’s probably a lot more mental than physical.
Most of the time I overshoot the landing a bit, It’s never been a problem. You can sort of coast into it once you pedal to the crest of the hill. It is a fun drop! What’s your biggest drop to date?
@@Dialed1, I did a very similar drop to Dr. Rockso, down at Camrock in southeastern Wisconsin. It was a 6 foot drop with about a 12 foot gap and a very good slanted landing. I was going to do the drop today at Piedmont, but it was too muddy on the run in and also the flat landing and I didn’t feel comfortable doing it. I’ll try it again tomorrow. I can do the rest of the Dr. Rockso trail without any problem, so once I do the big drop, I’ll have the whole trail down pat. Thanks for the advice. I’ll let you know how it goes.
@@Randy_Johnson It is a fairly flat landing especially when sent deep; How much travel are you running? Please do let me know how it goes, good luck!
@@Dialed1, Thanks! My bike has 150mm front travel and 145mm rear travel and a 65° head tube angle. I ride a Santa Cruz Hightower. I bought the bike in mid August. I love the 29er!!
@@Randy_Johnson That should be plenty of travel and work well for that drop as long as it’s fairly dialed. Probably a sweet bike for Piedmont!
Nice new bike and awesome video man! Do you think Duluth is the best place for a MTB rider to live in MN?
Personally I’d put it in the top 3 for sure. It really depends on what you enjoy. Where Duluth really shines in my opinion is the steep natural rock slabs and rolls combined with sweet views of Lake Superior. I could really see living here as a MT Biker. But some people will be perfectly happy ripping the MSP trails till death do it’s part. And some people hate the MSP trails and only want Utah, Montana experiences. I say rock whatever trail is around on whatever bike you can find. Lol on the rant. Are you considering a move?
@@Dialed1 I appreciate your look on it. Yeah I'm thinking about making the move there from the Twin Cities. I'm kinda looking for something more that's not too far away. It's also closer to Copper Harbor.
Fantastic that’s a good point, It’s a great jump off spot for so many other trail systems. There’s a lot of good trail being built in all directions from there, and even new stuff being built in Duluth. It’s also a great place for winter activity’s as well. Yea man, this may be the best spot in my opinion to be a MT Biker in MN.
@@Dialed1 Thanks! Much appreciated.
