- This place just keeps getting better and better! We joined up with Josh from Slanted Ground for an epic day of mountain biking at Rocky Ridge Park in York PA.
This ride had everything from gnarly downhills, big drops, and techy slabs. I even found a lot of new stuff to play on thanks to a couple of local shredders. In total our ride was only 9 miles and 1300 ft, but the stoke had us smiling from ear to ear. Everyone was eager to help each other out through difficult sections and a good time was had by all.
A huge thank you to Josh for putting this all together. He is doing fantastic things with Slanted Ground in the MTB community so if you can please support him by checking out his merch at slanted-ground.com

Fantastic. How great to watch such a fun group having fun.
Your videos are getting better and better Sage. It's very easy to stay glued to the screen from start to finish. Thanks for sharing it bro.
Thank you for the kind words Luis!!! This is def a local gem for a lot of riders looking to progress their MTB skills levels.
“Not a lot of miles but I’m definitely feeling it” - this is me every time I go to Rocky 🤣
lol right?!?! That place packs a punch for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting Tracy
Love to see this. Just a crew having fun on bikes. Nice to see some familiar faces too! Also that shot with everyone taking a different line down the big roll was so sick!
This group ride was so much fun Zane. And yeah, I believe that shot was Josh's idea and it came out awesome. Thanks for watching brotha!
Great little sesh there Sage... Place looks REALLY fun. I like how you lads take the time to just (seamingly) ride around finding fun stuff to try out and scouting new lines... That little rock-stump-rock-drop you did was sweet as mate!
Right on, thanks Phil. It was a really fun ride with a talented group of riders. I've been here multiple times and I'm still finding new lines ;)
"I don't know what the hell I was doing at 17, but it wasn't this"......im with you lol.
Awesome group. Great video sage.
lol right?!?! I wish I had picked up mountain biking earlier in my life. Thanks for watching George.
Super good stuff, way to capture the essence of the ride that day! Stoked to have the opportunity to ride with ya at RR!👊
It was such a pleasure to finally get to meet/ride with you Jared. Thank you for all the hard work and advice over the years. Let's do it again real soon.
@@TrailSageGlad you guys got a chance to meet and ride. Jared is the trail rider I want to be when I grow up. 😅
@@houckstar Me too, lol
Fantastic group of riders. What a great way to spend an afternoon. The footage is spectacular.
Thank you so much Stick. I can't wait to show you and Dan all the cool new stuff.
Old 4 trail, also known as the Speeder Bike trail from many years ago! Nice wall ride on the slab rock. :) You do so much more than I ever would. Many of the “off trail” features were started by a group from back in the early 2000s who called themselves YAFRO. Old schoolers know them well. Nice edit and video, Sage!
Right on, thanks for the info Chris. I love hearing about the history of places. Thanks for watching and commenting brotha!
@@TrailSage YAFRO stands for York Area Free Ride Organization (a play on YAMBA since the guy who ran it was against all the rogue trails and features being built) 😆
Awesome riding all around, and flying off the rocks!
Thank you so much. It was a privilege to ride with all these riders.
Man if your ever back out our way give us a holler. We would be stoked to do a group ride. Your content is top notch also. I’m loving the videos. Keep shredding brother✌️
Thank you so much Aaron and Kyle, you are much too kind. Not sure when I will be back out that way, but thanks for the invite! Sage
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏽 good job boys! Great group and excellent trails! Chest mount is definitely working!!❤❤🇨🇦
Thank you so much Uzi!
That was a really fun video, Sage.
Thank you so much Andy!
I live in Nebraska and the scene is great, but wow you guys. That's crazy, I would think everyone would be out there all the time.
Hey William. I've never been to Nebraska, but that's awesome to hear the MTB scene is kick'n over there. As for Rocky Ridge, yeah, it's a favorite spot for a lot of locals riders. Thanks for watching and commenting.
That rock canyon at 5:45, so cool!
Yeah, I think I saw a few lines off of it too so I can't wait to go back. Thanks for watching Lawrence.
Enjoyed it! Always looking for ya out here on PA trails! 7:11 whatever cinematographic technique used there was pretty rad
Thanks Billygoat. That was just me running like a fool with my GoPro, lol.
Great video Sage, that looked like a successful day on cool trails with great people. Awesome ride and great job on the technical stuff mate. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. Ride on and have a great day🤙
Thank you so much Christoph, we had a blast sessioning all the features.
love it! At 17 I was working in a bike shop, finishing grade 12, and riding my bike as much as I could... 🙂
Right on Gene! You had a head start on me... I didn't start riding until I was in my 30's lol.
Sage, this is your best video yet! What a blast. I gotta get up there, as I’m guessing it’s about an hour from Baltimore!
Wow, thanks Marc. I appreciate the kind words. I'm not sure how far it is from Baltimore, but it's certainly worth the trip.
That looks like a sick place! So many opportunities for jumps and roller. Your skills are very good. Hope to progress to that level one day.
You're there Josué! If you ever make it to PA I'll show you around. Thanks for watching brotha
Awesome group ride! Looks like tons of progression and stoke!
I can't wait to show you and Stick all the cool stuff. Thanks for watching Dan.
Your videos are awesome Sage. Love the content and positivity. I’m Ryan from Strava!
Thank you so much! Forgive me, I follow quite a few Ryan's, which Ryan are you?
Looks so good! Great riding too 🤩👍
Thanks Jay! I'm lovin this place!
Good job hunter ❤ 🎉 keep it up cousin
He's a talented rider for sure. Thanks for watching Nick!
Hunter is a beast!
Yes he is! Thanks for watching Brian
cool trail system !
Thanks Steve, it really is.
Great ride Sage - Love all those rock features!
Thanks Darren. We had a blast sessioning that day!
Headed there next weekend 🤘
Right on Paul! You're gonna love it.
Please keep in mind this is a shared use county park. A few years back the mountain biking community nearly lost usage of those parks. Continued building and use of unsanctioned trails, features and drops seriously jeopardizes our access to this area. I strongly encourage those visiting rocky ridge to refrain from perpetuating what has become a free for all situation.
Thank you for the feedback Jeremy. I try and create content with those sensitivities in mind.
The creation of unsanctioned trails there has exploded over the last 2 years. I don't think the administration knows exactly how to address the massive increase in usage. My fear is that we're at the tipping point of one serious injury or user conflict and they'll drop the hammer on it and that will be end for all of us. I'd advise anyone unfamiliar with the park's authorized trails to reach out to the York Area Mountain Bike Association so we can all continue to use this park in a sustainable responsible manor. Rocky Ridge is near and dear to many riders and it would be a great loss to the mountain biking community to lose access to the park. @@TrailSage
@@user-gh5ms4lb5x Thank you Jeremy. I have included a link to YAMBA in my video description. Hope to see you on the trails someday.
