What is it about gun ranges and mountain bike trails!? Around here in Missouri there are so many! I don't even notice it anymore until I take a new person riding and they get nervous when they hear gun shots.... I'm like oh no it's fine there's just a gun range over there 😂
Hahaha, I didn't know it was a thing. Surprising enough there is a gun range at our south Florida trails in a park. I guess it's just the place to do it and scare the piss out of people lol. We also have a levee gravel road that runs next to the park and around the Everglades. When you pass by the gun range it says, "Watch for stray bullets!" Like yea, I can totally dodge one of those lol! Thanks for watching!
Great job brother! Thanks as always. Area 51 and Rabbit Hole would be cool. Las Olas would be cool. I liked your video from last year, but breaking it up into individual trails would be helpful. Maybe add a map to your videos with a pointer where you are at on the map through each video, so viewers can track your progress through each trail.
Yea! That's what I am getting footage of tomorrow! Cool! I was thinking about the map thing. Just so much work but I guess I can do that on an actual full trail video. thanks for watching and Happy 4th!
Wow, great riding, great quality video! I appreciate the commentary. Those punchy climbs can be tough. And thank you for linking my channel at the end there! U da man!
Didn’t do the step down 😑. One of my favorite features. Your full loop Markham video is how I learned to ride the park. Had only been there 2x before and kept doing the same trails over and over due to getting lost. Found your video, downloaded it and used it to learn my way around lol.
NO way! That's awesome! I was wondering if anyone would ever do that. Did it help a lot? NIce man! I do the step down a bunch but didn't do it on this video. I should have . Just like I should have done the log skinny and started the ride with dropping down the new drop lol.
XC Ben It absolutely helped. I had just started riding bikes and had done the park once with a friend guiding me so I knew there were cool trails out there. Just couldn’t find the damn things on my own and I didn’t know anyone else who rode at the time lol. Found your video, subscribed to TH-cam red so I could download it and stopped at the end of each trail to watch your directions. That’s how I learned to do a proper loop lol. So ty!
I got so excited about what you said I forgot to respond. lol THats awesome bro! Glad it helped and I am honored you used my video. THanks man. That made my night!
Benduro appreciate the response. What do you consider the best solution strictly for down here in south FL? Hard tail, short travel 29, etc? I see so many people with practically downhill bikes... so heavy
@@carlosdehostos1188 yes for sure man. I got your answer for ya. Well at least it's my opinion, which comes from experience with XC bikes and enduro style bikes. First it depends on your weight. If you are a heavy set guy you'll want a much beefier bike as you want big suspension. In that case go for 130 to 140mm travel bike. If you are not I'd say a 120mm travel bike is really all you need. It's not XC and it's not enduro. You can still take it into the mountains on the small scale. But if you plan on going out to the mountains often then a 130 to 140mm travel bike is what you'd want. I have a 29er and love it. I am also 5'6 and only weight 150 lbs. A taller, bigger person might mike the 27.5 more. Not sure. Never got a 27.5. Also, I respond to all comments. I am not getting many comments all the time. Mostly when I just release a video. Congrats! You just got my longest response ever! Haha
Those are great suggestions! I was going to put Redback and Area 51 into one video since they connect and are short. Bermuda Triangle is a good one too! Appreciate the feedback!

Great video. Funny how you grunt in some of the same sections I do. The vocalizing of grunts makes a viewer feel the riide! Ha!
Must be all the difficult sections lol.
Good Video. I Love this trail. Is one of my favorite trail in Markham Park
I bet it is. I saw your version of Gun Range a few years ago. It's also one of my favorites. Thanks for stopping by Erick.
I vote for the running commentary, I like seeing what the trail triggers in your commentary as you ride.
Sweet! Well the commentary will continue then. Hahahaa, yes! Thanks you
That was a rough trail. Ya rocked it .
I try my best! Thanks Kory! Happy 4th!
Good run! Nice ride. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and you're welcome

Great vid, Dam you're putting out daily vids now 😂. Think I'm going to do these type of vids also, a great way to showcase the trails. 👍
Thanks Steve! Appreciate it. Go for it.

You got it boo. Ha, didn't know if you'd see that. That just means you watched it all the way through. So thank you!
@@XCBen of course I watched it all the way through boo lol
Nice videos and info about Markham
THanks Roldan! I really appreciate it!
Don't stop talking during the videos haha, that's what mutes for! Also - that mustache is killer!
Hahaha, ok will do. The talking continues. Thanks man! So far I've been getting some heat for the stache but I don't care lol
Made it look easy! Nice video!
Thanks Tom! Appreciate it! Happy 4th!
The talking was fine. feels like I am riding with a friend. Great skills.
Oh thats great! Glad you enjoyed that. You ride in South Florida ? Thank you!
@@XCBen Yes Markham also just not as fast as you.
@@2009waterfall1 that's great! I wanna do a group ride soon would you be in for that?
wow that is sooo cool - I would have busted my ass in the first 5 seconds!
I would have caught you.

What did you search for to find it. If you remember. Oh and was it on TH-cam or Facebook ?

@@XCBen Hard to remember now but I believe I searched TH-cam.
Bro, that section at 3:00 is gnarly! I still can't get through it. Gotta keep practicing
It took me some time to manage it. You will get it eventually Kenny! Keep it up and thanks for watching!
Good content
Thank you kind sir! Appreciate it!

Did you see it?
Have you covered the nasty climb in Crime Scene in your videos?
I don't think so but I do it all the time.

Benduro I sure appreciate the feedback. Continued success with the channel
can my hybrid aluminum handle this
Maybe once. Also depends on how big of a person you are.
Do the new Alligator Alley
It is actually the first video in the series "Markham Trail Guide" I posted it a few days ago. Check it out! thanks for watching!
Happy Independence day! 🇺🇲
Hey! Same to you Sam! Happy Independence Day!
You should do one called Area 51
Look at my playlists for Markham Park trail guides. Its in there. Enjoy and thank you
warm up loop expert or redback
or bermuda triangle
Those are great suggestions! I was going to put Redback and Area 51 into one video since they connect and are short. Bermuda Triangle is a good one too! Appreciate the feedback!
@@XCBen thanks
all
All? You mean all of the trails?
I’m actually shocked that you can talk while you’re riding the trail. I ride it and I’m gassed.
You rip.
It definitely requires a lot of training and fitness to get to that level. Its not in the normal riders capabilities. Thanks for watching.
