I’ve ridden to the top of Sidewinder and eyeballed Suicidal Tendencies. I decided to pass, not knowing if there was a pay off for the climb. I’m sure I’d be walking the tighter switchbacks…and it looked like there’s a lot of ‘em! I’m sure I’ll be back and hit it at some point, as Barrel Roll is on my usual ride list and Sidewinder is kinda fun in its own right.
I think Suicidal tendencies and Barrel Roll are my favourite trails in the area. Such a great day. Well done on that steep downhill and switchback at the start. It is way steeper than it looks in the video.
ST is epic not to mention the beautiful views!!!! This is an amazing trail that characterizes and epitomizes desert southwest riding. Rocky, techy in spots and a little exposure here and there. Other than Gooseberry Mesa South Rim this is the most fun trail in the region and that includes the Las Vegas networks.
You just made me scare my dog...yelling NICE! @4:50 to @4:59 That trail looks awesome! I love that stuff! So funny what people call "technical" and "exposure" around here (SW MO). I'm like....uh...what?
For those of you who live in Utah you are very fortunate to have these trails. I live in Pennsylvania and none compared to those in Utah, Colorado, California 😭. I need to move😫

Just rode this today. Wish I could have made those turns the way you did. Very nice riding!
Great video! Enjoyed watching the switchback climbs - nice work!

My second favourite trail there after Zen. Suicidal on the way up and Barrel on the way down. Such a good day on the bike.

Yup, we've got no shortage of tech on the east coast but we're never doing stuff next to an abyss.
That Altitude looks like it handled those trails beautifully..sweet looking bike. Btw, do you still have the Django ?.. if so, can I have it ?
It's turning out to be a really good all-rounder. Django went to a farm in upstate New York.
Love the videos, nice to see a northeast rider in the youtube world! I gotta make it to a Rocky demo this year...
Thanks, dude! JRA should be having a demo at some point. I still haven't ridden the new Instinct, looking forward to that.
I'm up in the ADK's so hopefully will get to a demo at Kingdom or western MA. The instinct, altitude, and thunderbolt are all looking sweet.
Nice Trials skills dude ^^ Wicked trail too ;-)
I call them "baby trials." That's about all I've got.
that time your surfing youtube and come across a friends video. Nice one Thom.
Thanks, man! I thought I was cool until I saw my buddy Josh's video where he cleans all those switchbacks without all the hopping around.
Dude, yur a beast! Nice ride!
Freaking awesome skills bud!
Would’ve been cool with some Suicidal Tendencies music! Sick trail, nice ride.
I'm not on drugs...your on drugs....I just wanted a Pepsi!
Shane Kweens ha ha yes! “Just one Pepsi...”
True but I'm trying to keep it copyright clean these days, TH-cam is cracking down!
Have to go with 'I Saw Your Mommy' (and your mommies dead) on this one, especially if you miss one of those off cambers ;-)
Nice! Love that bike.
Geez, what a cool spot...Was expecting John Wayne to appear on one of those trails.

I love riding the Wissahickon near Philly. Great spot.
