- Doesn't get much better than new bike day, am I right?!
Recently got a pretty screaming deal and a barely used Specialized Status 160 from a friend (thanks Eric) and I'm out at Spirit Mtn Bike Park in Duluth, MN to break it in with my wife that I so fondly refer to as J Girl.
I've been interested to try a mullet setup for some time now and I like the geo on the Status, manly for it's short chainstays. I like to jump and play around on my bike but I also like raw rocky tech so I think this bike is a good do all fit for me.
Since I wasn't riding the Rustler I threw my fork, front wheel and brake on Jess's bike to give here some more travel and a better tire and brake. This must have felt good and gave here confidence because she crushed everything we rode there including some double black trails. Really proud of the shredder she is.
Jess and I both love Spirit and were stoked to receive some heavily discounted tickets from them. Thank you!
I had done one ride on this bike before this out at the Afton bike park project that we at Pathfinder built. As a little bonus I give you a sneak peak of some of what's there. Hopefully it'll be open mid September for the public to enjoy and shred!

I'm on a mullet bronson, so much fun. Spirit is so much fun on it.
Hell yeah dude! That’s a sick bike! 🤙🏻
Damn. Making the new bike dance! J girl doing good also. That place looks sweet. Thanks for sharing this with us. Congratulations on new bike
Thanks Harry. Super fun!
Woooo!
Yeah buddy! Bike is working out real nice 🤌🏻
Congrats on the new bike! I've really been stoked on Sprit this year. It's been riding great!
Thanks dude! Yeah dude Jess and I both have been stoked on spirit this year! Need to get back at least one more time this year.
Sweet bike! I been riding one for a year now and love it!
Hell yeah! Fun bike for a great price 🤙🏻
"For sale: Salsa Rustler Carbon Frame, Gently Ridden" 🤣
Congrats on the new shred sled! The Pathfinder badge on the headtube is a nice touch. Mullet definitely suits your riding style, able to plow through the chunk up North better but still able to throw the back end of the bike out easier. I don't think the short chainstays are a knock at all, if you prioritize all out speed & stability over fun & stylin' Specialized makes the Enduro for that purpose. J Girl charging hard down the mountain with the Zeb Ultimate and improved tire and brakes too! Afton looks incredible, can't wait to ride there someday when Pathfinder is finished!
Hahaha yes gently ridden. Surprised it’s still in one piece lol.
Thanks, yeah I like the mullet for those reasons for sure.
Was stoked on Jess’s riding! The zeb definitely gave her some more confidence.
Afton is gonna be sick! 🤙🏻

Yay new bike day!! Looks like you’re enjoying it! Excited to check out Afton, looks like some big lines in there. 😅
Yeah man, fun bike for sure! Afton is pretty rad. Stoked for people to ride it!
Tearing it up guys! Seems like that build is working great; Jess is throwing down with that new front end! Ripping some heavy hitters! I got to get back here stat!
🎉🎉🎉
Hell yeah brother! I need to get back the with ya stat!
Congrats on the new bike!! Awesome riding and sneak peek of Afton looks amazing.
Heck yeah, thanks! Stoked for Afton to open for y’all to enjoy 🤙🏻
Hopefully it will be open soon!
Unlike public parks, there may be liability issues to be dealt with first.
Yeah hopefully soon for sure. The trails are ready to rock and need tires!
I love the shorter rear as well on my Status, hasn't been a draw back at all. It absolutely ate everything down in Crested Butte...also, cannot wait for Afton
Those Afton trails look sweet!!!🤙Been eyeing the Status 160 for a while. Curious how it pedals for you? I've read its a bit of a bear uphill. And with the metro trails, might be a deal breaker.
I was surprised at how well it seemed to climb actually. I also really don’t care about pedal efficiency though. I just chill and climbs anyways
Nice looking bike! Awesome vid!
Thank you 🤙🏻
Nice build and video. Is Afton Bike Park open?
Thanks! Not yet. Looking like mid September
Are the jumps in afton bigger than at carver? Sick vid to bro!
There’s multiple jumplines for all skill levels and yes there are some much bigger jumps than what’s at Carver
@@ridindirt thanks bro🤙
Hopefully a good maintenance plan in place with this private park with lots of dirt kickers/landings needing to be kept up to par. Looks awesome!
Sweet bike! And nice riding- any idea when Afton will open up?
Thanks! It’s looking like mid September.
So when do the Afton trails officially open?
That’s a good question. Was supposed to be this weekend but not sure what they’re plan is now. Hopefully soon though
Will the terrain at Afton be lift fed?
No but the pedal back up is pretty easy. It’s also free
