wow completely didn't know that was there.... good job and nice ridin!
Your kids at the end are so cute! 😭
Thanks they're a handful!! lol 😆
Yall are really good. And also this is the first good quality video a bakers in a long time
Bro thank you so much!!! We really appreciate it ❤️🙏💯👊 we pour our hearts and souls in these videos and really appreciate it when people send encouragement!!! 🤘🏻 Hope to see you out there
Yah agree, they are really good!!
Ok, went there today. Main thing I will say for beginners....that pump track looks WAY smaller on videos. I've seen a bunch of videos and when I got there I was surprised at how big and deep the jumps were on the pump track and the dropoffs are a lot scarier, totally doable but scary if you haven't done that kind of thing before. I had a couple of guys I was watching (I'm 54 yrs old) and they inspired me to work my way up the dropoffs to the highest one, I had no intention of doing that when I got there. Same with the downhills, they really helped me get my confidence on the jumps. One of the things most videos don't talk about (because it's boring I guess) is how much of a whippin' climbing to the top of the hills is...after doing 5 runs my poor legs were done from climbing. Stuck around around the pump track (FYI, weekday morning, nobody out there except a couple locals and a couple kids, all on the pump track, nobody on the trails). My new favorite place.
I am so stoked to hear that wish I could have caught you out... We love riding with patrons of the channel! Either way glad you liked it look forward to seeing you out in the future! Shred on sir!
Those hills will whip your butt! Definitely a work out to get up, but worth it.
Thanks for leaving this note Jane Fox Guitars, good to know the GoPro effect is real here. I'm visiting soon for the first time.
Complicate ya = Greatest song on youtube! Lol. Sweet vid!
I use it for every intro we do. I thought about changing it since its so "over used", but it just feels like us at this point if you know what I mean.
MTB Freeks i agree. Dont fix something thats not broke!
Great song choice, agreed!
Great vid guys.
Thanks we appreciate it!
i know im late but great video. These are my home trails. I live about ten minutes fron downtown knoxville. Glad to see these amazing trails getting recognition
Hey just subscribed, great video thanks. Looking forward to my first visit!
Place is quite awesome for sure
Nice
thanks bro
Great work on the video! Thanks for the tutorial
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching it means the world to us!!!!
That's a super nice place👍.
It really is!
Once again another great video! Devil's Racetrack will put the fear of God in ya if you ain't ready for it!
I couldn't agree more which is why I make Danny do it lol!!!
That's what I was thinking too!
Great video! You guys have some nice trails there. You have me considering moving to Knoxville now! Oregon is the bomb for mtb, but it's getting too expensive. Thanks again! Keep on shredding!
I have a friend named Ryan Sullivan that owns the Bike Doc in indiana crazy
Agree with Ryan great video
My 56 lb e-bike is what I’ve been taking to bakers creek
I got an eMTB let's go there and ride together
I bet it's nice to have it to travel uphill, i am gonna do pedal power and probably hate life soon. Ha.
That’s some very good riding!
Thanks! I am still learning but Danny is an amazing rider for sure!
Even the green and blue trails look intense!
Right down the road from my crib. Cool to see what it looks like up in there instead of just from the road...lol!
It's so much fun bro you gotta go
@@MTBFreeks someday, I promise! It looks like a ton of fun for sure!!!
@@jamiehoekstra11677 it is
Ah, jealous, seems like an awesome place!
Went to bakers a couple of years ago. They have really been hard at since then. Can’t wait to go there in November this year. Def going to hit it up. Great video.
There has been a lot of change in that time and it's better than ever!
Looking forward to my first visit soon!
I hope i run into you guys when I travel out there in March or April 2021. Its nice when someone shows you around especially at parks with no lift or shuttle.
Hit us up mtbfreeks@gmail.com we will show you around...
Looks like a lot of fun. My parents are in Sweetwater. Next time I drive in from Texas I'll have to bring my bike with me.
This isn't that far from Sweetwater, and well worth the trip even from Texas!
@@MTBFreeks I came up from Austin to ride this, it's worth it.
Looking forward to my first visit soon!
I'm assuming that Danny upgraded the wheels on that Alpine Trail 8? I ride the same bike and believe that was the only weak point on the bike. I absolutely LOVE my Marin!!!!
This would've been helpful to watch before i hit devil's racetrack. I am from florida, and this is different from my usual pump-track stuff
Yah i'm gonna be hitting it soon I am glad I stumbedl across this!
Nice looking trails. 🤘🏼 I assume Danny’s wrist has healed up. That skills are looks heaps good with all the paved jumps and wall rides
Thanks bro! The Doctor had to put a plate and screws in his wrist... But, he has been working back up to full strength since then... He is doing much better now, thanks for asking!
It's pronounced Bakers'zs..... other than that, great vid.
hahahaha lol don't get the Knoxville Cycling page started we will get booted lol
Ha, gonna remember that!
When we ride, it feels like we're going fast, but GoPro says otherwise. Y'all look like you're actually cruising. Speedy!
thanks bro! We love this place, tons of fun, but you definitely need speed!
Looking forward to my first visit soon!
Don't forget Floyd Fox as well
Yeah I am gonna do a solo video on Floyd Fox with the eMTB I have an extra one will be here in 2 months if you want to go out
That did look like a cool trail, I'm gonna have to check that out
Cool man I had went there yesterday and it was awesome I would love to ride with y’all and make some friends
That would be cool! This channel is based on MTB and friendship so anytime you wanna ride let us know!
Just moved to E TN looking for something to do when Ski season is over here in a month or 2.... Looks like you can rip down some of these hills.... Can you recommend any good brands or bikes for a beginner?
It really depends on the budget and what your looking to ride with it... If you go Hardtail it is alot cheaper. If you go Marino you can custom build your own... We are gonna be doing a giveaway summer time! If you want to email me at mtbfreeks@gmail.com I will give you my phone number and I will help you out... I have alot of connections and come across alot of good deals
Looking forward to my first visit soon!
I've only been a Knoxvillian for about 5 years now...and I often wondered what was beyond the end of the James White Parkway. Mystery solved.
That said, I've been wanting to get my feet wet in trail-riding/mountain-biking. I don't even have a mountain-bike yet...but as soon as I have the expendable cash to invest in a semi-decent one, I plan on hitting some local trails...obviously the "beginner" ones...then onto the moderate ones. Not sure where the trails/courses(featured in this video) lie on that scale.
I'm sure you've had this question asked to you by local noobs...but can you point me to a good resource of info for soon-to-be local noobs such as myself? ...like, which trails to start on?
I plan on sticking to the Knoxville area for my trail riding...so even a recommendation on entry-level mountain bikes would be great. My entry-level bike most likely won't exceed $1,500. I know that's not much...but I'd rather learn my mistakes on a bike in that price range, instead of destroying something more expensive right out of the gate.
I'm not new to bikes, as I have a lot of experience road biking...but I understand that trail riding is an entirely different animal. Anyway...if there's a one-stop-shop of an information resource for a noob like me, please feel free to give me a link, and/or insight. Thanks. Great video, btw.
Looking forward to my first visit soon!
Could you give me any tips on jumping? I’m fairly new but I’m getting a lot faster. I can fly through single track all day long but when it comes to jumps I just haven’t figured it out yet. Part of it also is my confidence on jumps, but I know for a fact I’m not hitting them right at all. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
So I am the world worst jumper 🥺😢 with that said I watched a recent video on Kyle & April - Ride MTB called "3 Easy Ways To Jump - How To Jump A Bike" it is about the best jumping video I have ever seen I plan to do a video about that video
So I want to implement their training and see if I can progress myself... Danny on the other hand is an amazing jumper! He isn't the best teacher he kind of tells me to not be a p*$$y and just send it! So I would check out their channel and keep.us updated on how it works out!
Looking forward to my first visit soon!
