Using Trailforks App to Find New Trails - and getting my ass kicked

  • I decided to ride new trails and used Trailforks app to locate them in Pitmedden Forest, Scotland. I wanted to challenge myself to some black trails. I usually ride red and blue trails and it shows...
    I rode;
    Heart of Darkness - www.trailforks.com/trails/hea...
    Bridge and Drops - www.trailforks.com/trails/bri...
    part of Hammer and Tong - www.trailforks.com/trails/ham...
    Then scared the life out of myself on Sidewinder - www.trailforks.com/trails/sid...
    This was an education. I got my ass kicked but I will be back to session some of the features and maybe, one day, I will clean these trails. Plenty of room for progression here.
    The Trailforks app workes really well (this isn't a paid promotion) the GPS map overlay is useful if a little slow. The reviews and grading system give a good idea of what you are letting yourself in for. The app can record rides but I've not used it for that yet.

    I’m an advanced MTBer and I thoroughly enjoyed this. I love your passion, brother. That’s what it’s all about. Great job for a “noob” (as you put it). I’ll be waiting for the video of sending that drop at 6:18 😉

    Great video! Just subscribed! I see this is from 3 years ago so how are things going today with mountain biking? I'm located in Pennsylvania USA and also just got back into mountain biking. I bought a new stumpjumper and I'm 46 years old. I used to mountain bike alot in the late 90's but got out of the sport. I still have my first mountain bike sitting in my shed.

    Did you end up riding those steeper bits out on those black trails another time? That little tech descent with the S backs then leading to that little drop looked like I would be fun as hell!

    • @mtbdad5273
      @mtbdad5273  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is fun but I prefer riding there in the summer, it gets seriously muddy in winter.

    Hey what camera setup is that, great quality and sound. Did you ever look at getting a Garmin to download your trails and get navigation? You van download TF to the Garmin

    Nice video, but pleeeease wear a helmet next time. Sooner or later you will crash and be thankfull for a helmet.

    • @mtbdad5273

      Moritz Lahme don’t worry, I only took the helmet off when speaking to the camera.

      @@mtbdad5273 oh okay. Then I have to admit, that I admire your helmet hair. I alway look like a dork after wearing a helmet.
