- The last snowless ride of the '22 season, and it was a great one! Parking at the main Tomahawk trailhead just past Weber Lake State Forest Campground.
This ride covers nearly all of the trail East of Maxwell Rd. The B loop is essentially 2 large loops separated by this North/Southbound road.
At 6:05, I have an unfortunate run in with a downed tree on the side of the trail. I was speared on the top of my left foot and was almost certain it would be a fracture, but I lucked out!
The B Loop is undoubtably the most technical of the 3 and this ride reminds me of that each time.
What's your favorite ride on the B? - กีฬา
Great riding. I’ve never even been that fast on the Tomahawk. I would smack a tree in the first 30 seconds.
Thank you, Brandon! Truly a blast at any pace out there.
Headed up there in August. cant wait
You're in for an awesome time! A little different look with all the leafs on the trees in the summer. Have a rad trip!
Great Trail, and Great Riding!
Yes, at 6:05 that Looks like it hurt!
Glad it was not any worse than it was.
Thank you! Bruised but not broken, I’ll take it 🙏🏼
My favorite trail in my favorite conditions. Nice and soggy. Nice video 👌
Thank you! It just never disappoints. 🙌🏻
Awesome riding guys. I used to ride this trail system all the time,back in the day. But never at your level. Pretty impressive stuff. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much, Todd! Did you/do you live close to the area?
@@connorbuntin4894 yes I'm half an hour from there
@@connorbuntin4894 yep I'm close
The log foot hit😮 we both started to get messy because of the grease😂
Youch! It left quite the mark. Still a slow go pulling my boot on in the morning.
Love ❤️
Do you mind me asking what settings you use on your GoPro and how you have it mounted?
Of course! I use a chinmounts.com chin mount and hang the camera upside down from it. I use a foam wind sleeve for noise (big help!) The easiest way to share the settings I’m currently on is to share this video!

Need to make it up to Michigan more often 😳
We have it very very good up here! Where do you ride?
@@connorbuntin4894 mainly southeast Ohio. Love it down there, but Michigan was a blast the time I went!
@@nt_pars Awesome! Are you able to ride through the winter down there?
@@connorbuntin4894 unfortunately no. Mid December to mid April the national forests are shut down. You guys up all year round I assume?
@@nt_pars This will be my first winter trying to ride! Trails are open to it and the itch to ride is pretty overwhelming. I invested in Grip Studs and am learning as I go about other mods to keep the bike operating happily.
How do you have your suspension/tires set up? I just did this trail for the first time yesterday and I felt like if I try to go anywhere near as fast as you I would end up flying off my bike into the trees. I think my settings are a little bit too stiff right now.
Hey! I am on stock WP Xplor suspension sprung for my weight. Just followed the manual recommendations for a neutral compression and rebound clicker setting. As for my tires, I run DOT knobbies (my bike has a plate on it for some road use to link trails together) Dunlop D606 rear, Pirelli MT21 front. Hope this helps! Stoked to hear your were out on the B loop
@@connorbuntin4894Thanks! I've never messed with my suspension much as all the bikes I've owned have already been set up fine for my riding, but I'm working on getting better/faster so I'm trying to tune it more.
@@Excomunicater I have also had the privilege of riding bikes setup fairly well. I am certainly more inclined to adjust my technique over my bike tune, but I think that leaves a lot on the table for comfort and aid in progressing. So I’m trying to tinker a little more!
What camera set up do you use?
I run a GoPro Hero 11 black hung upside down on a chin mount. 👍
@@connorbuntin4894 with the standard lens or the mega one?
@@donnelly1979 standard lens on the camera body itself utilizing the Hyperview setting.
@@connorbuntin4894 thanks man for the info
Love when people make no effort to clear the trail that tree stabbing your foot was karma.
Well that’s not very nice. 🤷🏼♂️
@@connorbuntin4894 maybe you'll make an effort to respect the trails that we are fortunate enough to use.
@@Mostviews111 Despite the ill willed nature of your comments, your passion for trail stewardship is commendable. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Let’s see, for each machine we pay for an orv license tag, orv trail tag, and a rec pass to park the tow vehicle at the trail head all to the MI DNR for trail maintenance. But yeah, let’s expect every rider, on every ride, at every obstacle to break out their chainsaw to clear the trail for a few hours. As mommy said, if you’ve got time to criticize you’ve got time to help. So grab your tools and head up here so we can keep riding.
@@joeg3437 wait a minute, you just said its the DNR responsibility which it's not its private clubs that do the maintenance on most single track trails. So which is it since you just contradicted yourself? Also Iam a part of a club and volunteer plus pay for all the trail stickers.
