  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2024
  • Jumps, loam, rocks, and steeps. Do Georgia's trails stack up with the best of them? This area may not have the elevation of other renowned mountain bike destinations but offers great dirt, creative trail building and a dedicated mountain bike community. Today Brendan and I hit some of my favorite riding that we are lucky enough to call our local ride.

    • @therealsteen
      @therealsteen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Most of the difficulty of these come from how steep they are. There aren't too many 'hard-hits' or drops, but it's plenty chunky - and steep AF. Great trails for some gnar in 'Metro Atlanta'

    We've got some great trails but I wish there were some more sustained descents off the top of the big 4,000 footers. Seems like there's a lot of untapped potential up in the mountains.

    • @drew.blanks
      @drew.blanks  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've always thought that as well. GA has come along way since I started riding 10 years ago. It may be a few years, but I think we will see some great trails come of the area you're talking about

    I ride bikes.I hit jumps and drops and thought I was a good rider.I trail run a lot more and I found theses trails on a run one day and it’s the steepest shit I’ve ever seen!I can’t believe how fast and smooth you ride this stuff.Like the rock slab section on the first trail or the part where you went right and the other rider went left on the second trail.That stuff is crazy on a bike!The one that goes straight down from the summit and has the big step up at the end looks like the gnarliest one to me,according to my garmin it drops 650 ft in .6 miles.Sick stuff man

    Hey bud, are you riding a 35mm or 32mm stem? I'm considering switching from a 45mm to a 35mm on my 27.5" but am worried about losing climbing performance

    • @drew.blanks
      @drew.blanks  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am running a 35mm stem. The reason I went with such a short stem is because I am riding a larger frame size and wanted my reach as short as possible. It does make the steering a little snappier as well.

      secret trails that are off the maps made by the community. If you go to pine mountain and once you get all the way to the top, these trails are oof map and start on a hidden side trail. You have to find them at top not hard to spot them.
