Loving the channel man! I just got a Spectral for my first mountain bike and I’ve been having a blast so far. I’m in the Southern Arizona area so definitely blessed to have so many awesome trails near me. Maybe I’ll see ya around! P.S. Good on you for moving that tree sticking out, a lot of other people would’ve just gone by and left it for someone else to possibly get hurt.
Depends when you are planning to do it, as everything I would recommend probably still has snow right now. If you wait until the snow is gone, I would suggest Sunset, paired with either Schultz Creek or AZT Little Elden at the end, and that'll give you almost 3,000 feet of descent. Heart is another good one - you could even do the first half of upper Sunset, then switch to Heart when you hit the intersection. If you're really looking for sketchy, I know there are two trails on Mt. Elden marked as pro lines on Trailforks, but that's too spicy for me, so I've never been on either one.
This was last Saturday, April 13th. Only saw snow patches north of Pipeline, and the runoff was only in valleys. The lower elevation and south facing trails are probably good to go.
Only issues I had were with the stock tires. I did also kill the derailleur on a rock, so that has been upgraded from NX to GX, but that was due to my riding not an issue with the bike. Otherwise, everything has been great, and still running strong!
Thanks for showing the state of the trails... The weather this weekend looks great for a ride so I better get off my butt :)

What is your suggestion on the best flagstaff trail for a day trip? more sketchy the better 😁

What date was this? Everything near town is running nicely, Tuthill/Cambells is perfect, looks like that stuff needs a little more time!

Have you had any trouble out of the Neuron 6? hows it running 9 months later? Thanks!
