I'm guessing the risk factor of certain sections being at height and the potential dangers made this a double black, because otherwise it looks pretty chill.
I would agree with that. I also wondered about all the warning signs at the trail entrance, makes me wonder if several people got hurt pretty bad on that trail because of those dangers.
True to some extent, but while cutting across the upper ridge, the trail is much steeper than it appears here and is very loose terrain. Compound that with the high exposure and you understand why it’s a double Black
And that trail does not look anything more than a blue! Maybe if you started hitting some of those doubles, it might be a single black, but what is all the warning about?! There was absolutely nothing to that trail that was double black!
Rode about a year ago. It’s steep otherwise ordinary black. And although steep, not all that rocky and no? ledges. (don’t remember - but none noteworthy). It was a fun trail and the warning and skeleton are neat!
Looks pretty steep in places. High consequences in many parts and you could reach huge speeds if you let it go. But if you keep it controlled it looks quite chill.
Awesome looking trail and nice riding Not seeing how they designated that as a double black though. Seems bluish but hey, I’m not in charge. Thanks for the video
How you liking the Knolly fugitive? LT? I have the exact same also in Raw. Love it. Great for trails like this. Just ordered the 170 Chilcotin today on sale. Great riding.
I absolutely love the Fugitive LT. Knolly makes very awesome bikes. I’ll bet you’re stoked to get that Chili… I’ve been eyeing that one and the Warden as well.
I use to ride trails alone till I flipped and landed on my head. I was luckily, I was alright. The other thing was, it was just a sunset. If I was really hurt I would have been there all night long. After that when I ride alone, I take it easy.
Looks pretty fun actually. If you want some truly chunky black diamond try tunnel Trail and cold Springs in Santa Barbara.. 😂😂😂😂 especially tunnel Trail. There are plenty of TH-cam videos, check it out. I lived there and we would go up it on electric mountain bikes because it's so technical and fun.
I know that the camera flattens things out considerably, but I still don’t see this as a double black. Black/Blue? Definitely. I still revere Portal as the ultimate double black and I’ll likely never ride it again.
I don’t think the camera does it justice for how steep it is. But if you send the jumps and drops properly, they are double black features. The exposure and high winds add to the difficulty.
It's a pretty sweet trail but it's listed too high for the reality of it. But I can understand as a newb with too much speed is going to F themselves up, big time.
Thats pretty lame. Trail is medium difficult at least. But- if i was in your place riding this for the first time i would have done just the same. Go slow, explore, you nver know whats up next...
This IS NOT A TOUGH trail. I've ridden this several times and is maybe slightly challenging but definitely not a Double Black. Maybe your skills are not great but the trail is not the tough type.

Paul, the video quality here is off the charts, kudos, keep them coming!
Much appreciated! And there is definitely more to come! 😎

Everything is smaller on camera
Looks like a fun trail. Other than a couple of sections of exposure, it looks more like a solid blue trail. Not a DB.

Of course, all trails look easier from your couch.
Listing this as a DB is quite dramatic for this type of ride. It's a flow trail with possible jumps.

Fun flow trail. A double black in the Pacific North West will make a lot of people fill the Depends.
I live very close to Black Rock in Oregon. I very much agree with this.
Nice riding. This trail looks pretty fun and flowy. Shoots, drag me along with Matt.
Such a good one!!! You definitely are capable of
For sure, just might need to do a couple laps to get it down. That big double is quite the set up.
badass, makes me wanna go to Utah
Try Project X in the Southern California mountains of Idyllwild. A true Double Black trail Aaron Gwin used to test bikes on.
What camera and settings do you use? Looks great
Looks pretty steep in places. High consequences in many parts and you could reach huge speeds if you let it go. But if you keep it controlled it looks quite chill.
Absolutely!
Wow that trail looks epic!!!! I want to ride that!!!!
Next year come out for a practice enduro!!!
@@trailswithty9062 sounds like a blast!
I can’t wait to get back on this trail.
Awesome looking trail and nice riding

Thanks for watching!

Looks challenging. Where is this trail?
I use to ride trails alone till I flipped and landed on my head. I was luckily, I was alright. The other thing was, it was just a sunset. If I was really hurt I would have been there all night long. After that when I ride alone, I take it easy.
Good idea. Time is crucial with trauma.
What's your point? It's his video, not yours... this isnt about you

I could totally do that trail.... if I can go 1.5mph and I have literally all day long, and it's nice and cool outside.
I know that the camera flattens things out considerably, but I still don’t see this as a double black. Black/Blue? Definitely. I still revere Portal as the ultimate double black and I’ll likely never ride it again.
I hate it when my hose comes loose :(
not even seeing the black diamond reason let alone double. is it just because of exposure on the ridge?

Is the extremely dangerous double black thing like an inside joke or something? That was like a light blue flow trail lol
It's a pretty sweet trail but it's listed too high for the reality of it. But I can understand as a newb with too much speed is going to F themselves up, big time.
This would be a green at trestle
Great trail, but definitely not double black. Strange rating.
Doesn't seems very hard)
Another note your wind noise is brutal and the camera angle is nausea inducing. Please see the camera work of Dale Stone for tips
Not a double black trail much less “extremely dangerous” SMH 😂. My 10 year old daughter would yawn going down it.
Not suitable for most riders? Lol that's an easy blue at best
The video would be more enjoyable if you talk less and rode faster
Thats pretty lame.
Trail is medium difficult at least.
