I have yet to start mtb’ing, but damn, looking at this, cant tell while moving that fast which way to go next, though he was about to run into trees so many times
Any one reading this who knows of videos with the "beast" trail over in the Virginia Tech area should paste some links here for me. I was hoping to see it. I used to ride it about 22 years ago before I got crippled and I'd love to see it again. Thanks!
Whatcis the bike you are riding here? Always nice to see a new area prosper from our sport and add to our bucket list of new destinations to hit. Thanks for the ride.
I'm 2yrs late to this vid 🤣 Trying to get back into biking and I'm in VA....what kinds of 'budget' (aka $3k range) full sus MTBs do you guys recommend for this area's janky topography?
@@T-rick Thanks for the suspension tip! As for pink bike, I've been scouring those listings for the last few days...I've sent so. many. messages. 🤣 Just so hard to decide on something! I'd love to get a '19 Ripmo but finding a Large in good condition for less than $4k is sorta tough.
Michael H honestly you don’t need that much travel for the noke. The giant trance 29 or 27.5 is a great bike. As well as the specialized stumpjumper st and trek fuel. But if you are looking for something with bigger travel, the ibis ripmo af is a good buy. You can get giant and specialized bikes at Cardinal bicycle, Trek bikes at east coasters, and ibis bikes at downshift cycles. And if you aren’t looking to buy new you can always check the local craigslist for used bikes.
Look at canyon ( only because yt is sure to be out of stock...if not snag one of those) and you can't go wrong with a santacruz or Kona in that price range
Yeah, it's all relative. I think that per Carvin's Cove, the speeds on this trail coupled with some jumps and the tighter corridor make it one of the riskier trails. But compared to a double black at a place like Whistler or Angel Fire, or even the trails in nearby backcountry, it doesn't pose much of a risk.
@@danervin2530 Elizabeth Furnace/Bear Wallow/Figure 8 of Hate; that’s real east coast riding. Now let’s ride at night in a sleet storm. If anyone in the MD/DC/VA area is unfamiliar with MORE (Midatlantic Off Road Enthusiasts) you should get in touch.
Good video as usual. Keep up the good work. If you ever get a chance I recently started an MTB channel and any feedback would be much appreciated. If not no worries. Happy new year ✌🏻
ITSOnlineTV are you a second account of the commenter, cause you replied in the same way to this comment on some other vid I saw just today 😂 Might just be a random coincidence that u saw his comment again and Im not tryna knock the dude if hes just promoting his channel by this cause ik it must be hard to do well on yt. Just seemed a little odd to me that's all 🤣
Max 😂 not a coincidence, it’s my mates account and we watch most of the same stuff. We usually try to get comments near the top so more people see them. 🤘🏻
ITSOnlineTV ah right well props to you lads it must be working Ive seen it twice today 😂. Wish you the best with the channel. Seems like we watch a lotta the same stuff too so Im sure Ill see you round
Soo happy to see my hometown get some recognition!
Same
Carvins Cove is a great trail system. Really cool to see it continue to be recognized and promoted.
Awesome video. Thanks for highlighting our community.
Those of us who have active mountain bike communities are very lucky. Looks like a great place to visit.
Can't wait to go there this year to shoot/ride. Looks like such a nice place!
Haven't been out east to ride yet. Just west of the Rockies for me so far. Looks fun.

We call that one jacob's ladder! A lot of really sweet illegal trails around blacksburg too if you can find them.
Just put this on my list.

yeah same!😂 Your lucky you have the budget of $3k I have one bike and I got it used for $120. It's a trek 820 and I love it.

How’s the weather in early to mid august? Coming from Metro Detroit where we get 90+ degree humid days relatively often during the summer months.
About the same but when you're in the forest you dont feel it as much
@@normalrat thank you
@@normalrat Nesh

Can you ride this trail with a hardtail with 26” wheels? I don’t have the cash to throw down on a 3K and up full sue bike
Of course you can. Legs and arms are full suspension if they are up to it.
Most of us first time down go around a lot of the big jumps. Make sure your brake pads are good.
Not sure how that's rated a double black diamond. There is some sick riding in the NC/VA/WV/MD/PA corridor.
It's all relative to the area, like double black ski slope in VA is like blue out west.

Everybody make the trek to windrock bike park in oliver springs Tennessee!! You wont be disappointed!!
Man if that’s double black I don’t even know what the Frederick Watershed would be here in MD. Death?

Maaan why doesnt pinkbike do this anymore? Back to the roots and uplift small communities.
No gimbal??
I did have one on
If you liked that, just wait until you get to WNC
Take me home Country roads :D West Virginia 😂✌
Wrong state

Max Nice one. If you ever get a chance, check out some of his vids. There is usually 3-7 of us. Gets pretty crazy some days. Catch you around bro 🤘🏻
Mountain biking looks a lot like tree dodging to me.
Pierwszy xd
The music was WAYYYYY too loud and overpowering
