Hell yea Dustin, was so sick to ride with you and anna, (this is annas coach by the way). Having spent the summer in whistler this should be easy for you the next time you ride it. But that trail looks SICK.
Yo bud! Thanks for giving the video a watch! Everything seems to sit on a different scale now that we've ridden Squamish and Whistler! Thanks for giving Anna so many great pointers. She's won the award for "most improved" out of the two of us!
Nice job! I have not been back on Predator since fracturing my ribs on it a ways back. Hope to give it another go here soon. I'd say it rides mostly like a black outside those couple features. I honestly have the most trouble with the entrance to lower, it is where I wrecked with my rear wheel popping up and clipping my butt on the drop at the bottom, throwing me over the bars (likely just bad body position). I have not yet gone down it and thought that I 'nailed it'.
That lower drop-in is spicy! I've never broken ribs (Knock on wood). That sounds absolutely brutal. I've definitely hit some steeper stuff this year and buzzed my ass. It's a good reminder to stay centered on the bike!
I remember riding this in 2017; Predator was my first lap. I eyeballed the exit at the parking lot and thought "man things usually look smaller in photos than in person but this one looks smaller than the photos", and then I realized my mistake when I got to the actual big roll down to the road. :D
@@DustyTrailsMTB no, that was the only thing I didn’t hit. I took a long look but decided “nope” and walked down. My second lap was OTG to Fully Rigid to Joy Ride then NWT back to the car.

Hahahaha. Thats freaking hilarious! At least it got you out on the trail! Did you end up doing the roll into the road?

Nice! Go ride North Slope in Olympia too! Loads of fun out there.
Oh dang! We'll have to put that on the list for next year!
What bike are you on ?
I'm on the 2023 Trek Fuel EX 9.8 (gen 6). Perfect bike for this trail!
