Mountain Biking in Duluth Minnesota was surprisingly great

- Earlier this month I passed through Minnesota on a trip to visit Park Tool Company. I decided to visit the city of Duluth in the hopes of finding good mountain biking, and I'm really glad I did. Sure, Duluth has a reputation and I thought it would be good, but it was better than good.
In this video, I'll tell you some of the reasons why.

Here’s a big shout out to www.coggs.com for building and maintaining the trails in Duluth! Their website has a lot of great info on the trail systems in the area, so check them out if you’re heading that way.
Seth's Bike Hacks you should come to stoney creek mi
and yes i am the only one who has talked about high rock because no one realy goes there but its less buzy
Seth's Bike Hacks you should come to the artic circle and ride there we have some pretty good mtb trails, jk I just hate when people write this kind of comments
If you come to blue mountain in collingwood ontario canada you should go to craigleith provincial park at the bottom of the mountain.
The swimming is top notch
Thatd because your a goof and dont understand that people value his opinion and want to know where their park stands in the grand scheme of parks.
And quite possibly we want to shair the beauty and excitement we enjoyed at our park
I live in Duluth and let me tell you, there are plenty more trails throughout our woods. This vid made a duluth local proud, keep up the work seth!
T Miernicki same here m8
I will have to take a trip that way, I am in lower Michigan.
Woo
Yea

Minnesota Squad, where u at!!!!!

SK0L!

I moved here literally ten days ago. I didn't know about those trails. Time to buy a new bike.

@@dotdankory Thinking of moving there?
Minnesota’s amazing
Yes Minnesota is awesome
These trails are at spirit mountain
Where all my Minnesooootans at?
Brandon Flicek YEE
Brandon Flicek here
Not all of us Minnesotans say it like that bud

That's my car at 4:54 :D. Glad you enjoyed my hometown Seth, it really is a wonderful place.
...and I'm here to make a shout out on behalf of all of the kids in your trunk that aren't able to point themselves out.
@@GoatyHerps im a bit disturbed.
@@LargeJiblets - How do you think we feel knowing what you've done?

@@GoatyHerps and where is this amazingly toxic comment coming from?
Glad to see one you guys finally got to Minnesota! Yes Duluth has some of the most unique terrain and rock around... And the most technical terrain I've ridden in the state; and I've been all over!! Cuyuna Range has some rocky fun as well but not as much as say Piedmont, yet it is unique to its own. There is a lot of potential here and in the north for more awesome stuff including more of the Iron Ranges here and, like you said, the Upper "P". LOVED the video man... Thanks again from us Minnesotans!!
The same trail builders that did Duluth and Cuyuna just finished another set of trails in LaCrosse, check it out!
@@Fitz008888 I might move to red wing so I'll check it out in the spring. 😛
i like the cuyuna rang trails more myself do to the crystall clear lakes and a few mineshafts if you know were to look.
Yes! Seth in Michigan baby! Copper Harbor and Marquette are a must!
Bleach I know finally! I hope he visits copper harbor
whitch is your favrot trial in copper harbor. just went there last week. mine is high rock
Also recommend traverse city
This is more proof that all it takes is a few good people to go out and put in work to get amazing trails. Austin TX is another place no one would expect there to be any trails, but it's one of the healthiest MTB/BMX/DJ communities out there.
Great video, Seth!
Oh, and TX is getting its first lift access park soon. Spider mountain, which only an hour outside of Austin. All the trails are built by the local riding groups. If there can be a lift access park in TX then anything is possible. ;)
I'm so stoked for that! I usually just do the BMX and Tangle loops at Walnut for "elevation" but a lift access park in Central Texas will be amazing!
I go to the trails around Austin and live near bluff creek ranch in Warda, they have a huge wooden wall ride and tons of single track, also the freeride park at the trail in Smithville is great
I've never been clear on whether Etnies and Odyssey/Full Factory went there because the scene is awesome or if the scene is awesome because they are there. Austin does have BMX Freestyle roots going back to the 80s with the Trend/Empire thing.
Ain't got much downhill in Dallas what's the best trail down were your at tfeatures
I loved when he talks about being careful about his effect on smaller trails with his channel. Most people don’t do that, they don’t think or sometimes care what they effect, keep it up!
Someone returning your phone doesn't surprise me in the slightest, glad you enjoyed your trip!
As a Minnesotan, I'm super proud of our bike culture and the contributions we've made, from HED Wheels to QPB. I hope you come again and check out the Twin Cities and Cuyuna Lakes.
Hey Seth - been following you for a few years now. One thing I really appreciate about your videos is your story telling skills. It's like an essay, you're able to have a brief intro, build up to the content and ending that ties in your initial thoughts. This video speaks volume because you gave Duluth a great shout out even though you were skeptical at first.
2:14 Man, where to begin. Years ago when I was living in Minneapolis, Seth’s Bike Hacks was a major contributor in my transition from road to dirt, and in the seasons that followed, I spent many summer weekends traveling up to Duluth to rip. Videos like this one were part of my inspiration to finally move to Duluth in the spring of 2022. It’s been an amazing 15 months so far, and it’s worth mentioning that Seth’s casual comment of how the city “probably” can be ridden entirely in a couple of days is so far from the truth. Once a week I find a loop on a trail system that I’ve never been on before, and if I were to ride every section of each main trail hub along the 50 mile Duluth traverse, it would be over a week of sun up to sun down riding. We’re an IMBA gold riding center, 1 of 7, and if that’s not enough, we’re within 2 hours from Cuyuna, Tioga, Redhead, Giant’s Ridge, and the Jackpot system in Tofte/Lutsen.
The riding in Minnesota is growing at a rate that should turn heads, and Seth is overdue for a return visit with multiple days to also check out the red dirt of the Iron Range.
I uprooted my life to come here, and within a week, I was convinced I’ll do whatever it takes to stay long term. Exhibit A: I’m back in college again so I can find a career in local healthcare.
A major thank you is due Seth. This video gave me the push to finally follow my heart up north, but I can’t wait to see your follow up video where you realize just how much more there is here. 🤙🏼
I was at Spirit Mountain that same day! I thought I recognized your voice from a distance! I passed you on Smorgasbord later in the afternoon on a Process 153.
Glad you got a taste of the MN mountain bike scene! Come back again soon!
Sweet
Best youtuber ever keep on coming everything in your videos is on fire best videos ever
It makes my heart happy that you liked Duluth! Thanks for coming
Dream come true. I've been dying for you guys to experience the sacred groves of Michigan and the upper Midwest. "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints."
Thank you for coming and checking out our trails! Almost everything is built and maintained by volunteers. We aren't the biggest place to ride, but have lots of variety and some quality trails. It's nice to get a little attention.
Thanks for dishing out some love to MN Seth!! I never thought someone like you who has such a huge presence in the MTB community would be checking out my local trails! I love the direction you’re taking with the channel! Keep up the great videos!!
OMG YES!!!! Been waiting for this video since i found out you went to parktool! As a Minnesotan' who discovered mtb'ing in colorado this is awesome and makes me want to ride duluth!
I live and was raised in Duluth. It’s really cool to see the same trails and spots and roads and everything in this video. So cool!
Seth I love all these different videos and the variety keep it up.
Best vid in ages. Love the format
So cool!! I love how you always shine a light on the people who make these special places happen!!
So cool to see you at Spirit Mountain, and great job on this vid! Your lost phone story reminds me of when I lost a contact lens at the end of a DH run there last year. Most of the bike patrol and a bunch of riders stopped and combed through the grass looking for it until I finally told them to give up and keep riding. Great riding vibe on the hill and all over Duluth.
imagine my shock when i stumbled across one of Seth's videos of my home bike park. it was super cool seeing Seth riding the same features that I've ridden (and struggled with!). my life will be complete if he rides and videos the XC trails at Cuyuna or the CAMBA trails near Hayward!
“If I can’t find it I’m gonna switch to Android” 😂
It’s mega seeing you get so excited about beginner progression. So many videos are really polished, or they’re pros, or they’ve forgotten how hard it was to start, so this is amazing, thanks! I love teaching and it’s great to see it on such a big channel!
Love the bit where you show the mere mortals sessioning that rock drop garden - gives the true perspective of how challenging the terrain is. Great vid!
i so much love your videos just keep like this!!
You should go to Marquette Michigan since you are up in the area. They have amazing trails
alex fisher or copper harbor
alex fisher Agreed! Most definitely.
alex fisher I agree
I live there
Same
Yeah!!!! Almost a million Seth I’ve been amazed at the creativity in every video your my favorite TH-camr thanks for motivating me to keep riding.
I Love Duluth,I was. Professional Snow Shoveler in Minneapolis for 6 winter's .I loved Camping And Visiting Northern Minnesota.Thanks for the Video!
Love your vids man! Keep it up 💯
Bike build off on a budget
Yes
yea something like scrapyard wars but for bikes!
unfortunately mountain biking is a boys club and it aint cheap.
Oh yes pls
On like 500 dollars would be funny and only second hand stuff
Wow - looks pretty awesome! They want us to do an Outerbike in Duluth and this really helped us get a feel for it!
Thank you so much for stopping by! We here in Duluth love the trails and are very eager to show anyone and everyone what midwest mountain biking can be.
Thumbs up for mountain biking
Thumbs up for mountain biking
Sadly I just missed you I was just in Minnesota and flew out of Duluth
I live in MN over the summer and I had no clue they had a MTB park!!!! I only live an hour away so I can't wait to go!!!
It's so cool to see Duluth get recognized! We have so much to offer when it comes to trails and Minnesota Nice definately exsists here.
This is my home town! Is miss Duluth
I WAS THERE YESTERDAY FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!
MrLowLife this was filmed about 3 weeks ago
Lucky
Max Mikkelsen it doesnt matter to me, i still had a blast
you should have gone the day after to meet Seth.
You're probably one of the only "Mountain Bike TH-camrs" that I actually enjoy watching so much because of the audio quality.
Thank you for giving so much effort into your voiceovers and audio quality!
Congratulations, you have now made me want to go to Minnesota.
Ayyee I live there yeeet!
You gotta go check out Cuyuna, if you’re in Minnesota!
Jake O'Reilly will do!
Seth, your videos are epic as usual. You have inspired me in so many ways with MTB. It's your videos that gave me the confidence to create my own channel. Cheers pal
Thanks for speaking up for Minnesota. We have pretty good biking in general every where. And great scenery
You should bike Marquette Michigan it’s Close to Duluth
love marquette
i biked Duluth once during the spring was Really cold for a couple days n drove back to Texas for 100 degree weather (3 full months of scorching hot temps)
Nolan its like 7 hrs away lol
“Nothing challenging” he said, little did he know the terrain to come... Seth vs. Duluth, coming soon to a theater near you, rated PG-13
When Seth said he was coming to Michigan I got so excited, stoked to have you coming man
Epic, epic, epic, EPIC!! Thank you Seth for sharing another great road trip destination/MTB centric area of the CONUS!!
Come to Ingham county if you come to Michigan because we have pump tracks an trails
What a cool place to go!! Could you rate the Downhill Park.
I yelled YES! at the top of my lungs when you said "...especially in Michigan." The UP is stunning and the entire state has a diverse range of trails. Excited to see you smeash MI.
Mn not mi
Awesome to see you here! I ride these trails all the time and they really are great. You've got a lot of fans here in Minnesota!
What did I see there at the end? Pizza?! Seth didn't have tacos after his mtb ride? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!
The twin ports is more of a pizza brewpub burger kind of selection
Go to Da Harbor & Marquette too!
love marquette
Copper and Marquette is were its at
Seth you gotta let us know if you go to Copper Harbor!!!
Oh ya, eh!
.
Wow I live in Duluth and watch your channel all the time, never even knew you were here till I watched this video
Very excited you'll be coming to the Mitten! The UP is great and West Michigan has a ton of trails. And a big thank you from a newbie! I love your beginner series and that you show even the best still crash.
Come back to Cuyuna though! And in 5 years when the Duluth trails are a bit more complete
Yes Cuyuna is awesome I just rode there yesterday.
Ditto for sure!!
Any one done the new jump lines there? (Cuyuna)
Dude it's so fun... and it's still under development I haven't been there since june.
The new Easy Street even has some legit jumps now!
I haven’t been since July but those jump lines look amazing!!
FINALLY
I live a hour away from Duluth in Iron River, Wisconsin. So cool to see a popular TH-camr talk about a place very close to me (:
I'm so glad I came across this vid.... makes me happy to see a fun video . thanks.
Hey!! I saw my second house in this video, you should come out to cayuna mn

It's great to see a big channel such as yours focusing on a small network. Great vid Seth!
A lot of trails you are missing in this video... Duluth has a lot of trails to offer...

Liam Robins Me!
Even if I never rode a mountain bike I'd enjoy these videos, so well done! Seth could easily cover any subject.
Hey Seth! My hometown is Kamloops and I’m surprised it was mentioned, love your vids because they really pump me up for riding. Getting back to my regular routine after purchasing my 2018 Demo 8 and thanks again for the inspiration!

Duluth is an awesome City! When I was speed skating I would go there for a huge point to point inline skating marathon. I always had a great time and felt welcomed to be there. Good times!
Went to Spirit my first time yesterday. Was so much fun and everyone is so nice. Met some really cool people and learned a lot. I don't live far so I'm gonna go back to Duluth on the weekends as much as I can. I have a lot to learn!
More BIKE HACKS OR CHEAP STUFF REVIEWS !!!
The last time I was this early i was in the womb
great video. Love seeing the youth out on the trails. keep up the good work
I've grew up here my whole life. We always have amazing trails for hiking biking and camping. Glad you liked it here too
Seth! Switch to Android you will LOVE it and never go back!
Noah Lofgren currently it doesn't matter) apps are 99% the same, and everything else is very similiar too)
Noah Lofgren seth will use a I phone if he wants
Unfortunately, he didn't switch to Android.
That’s awesome that you got to come to Duluth! It’s so awesome there!
Me and my son love your videos. Thanks Seth
Fantastic timing - my friends and I are driving up there to camp and ride over Labor Day weekend! Great video, definitely helped whet my whistle for the trip!
Great video Seth. Tells a great story. Trails look wicked!
Seth you are Amazing for all you do for the sport.
Awesome, it's about time some one came to the Midwest to check out the trails.
So Sick, Really like the clip and how you were pleasantly surprised, keep killing it & hunting surprises🤙🏽!!! Live-Life-Loud🤙🏽
Being from Duluth, it's cool to see it on your channel!
I live in Duluth and I started biking again after a 15-year hiatus because there are so many trails here to ride. The Duluth Traverse, a 40+ mile trail spanning the city, is a bucket list ride
Idk why I'm just seeing this now, but I've lived here my whole life. Love Duluth, hope you enjoyed your time here.
