My first time mountain biking at Spirit Mountain! FULL LENGTH TRAILS in Duluth, MN

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST! I'm bummed on myself for not going here sooner. The amount of riding and progression you can get here is unreal. I'll be going back as often as I can.
There were three or four trails closed, but besides that we conquered them all. My favorites were Wildcat, Knowlton Rocks and Greenman. I was very happy to have Mike with me to inspire confidence and help tackle some of the double black features.

Wow, way more trails than what was there last time I was there - about 8 years ago. Need to hit it again.

[@Kirk_Knoll]

There's even more that we didn't get to ride! I'd highly recommend it 👍

Many great runs at Spirit with plenty of variety. Those Moon man hits are in your wheelhouse, It helps a bit to get a tow in the first time. I still haven’t hit the very first right hander though; I’ve heard It can be dicey with loose dirt, so I haven’t risked that one, but the following hits you can get all the speed you need. We’ll get out and smash Spirit and others again this year!

I would love a tow in (if you're offering 😉) ! I seriously cannot wait to get back here, especially after the long winter. You can get a lot of skills back quickly and it's so enjoyable (especially with you guys 👊👊👊)

@@Kirk_Knoll No doubt, stoked to get back here and ride with y’all again! Spirit rocks! I got you on the tow brother!

@@Kirk_Knoll Just dont know how my 140 front 130 rear stumpy whould handle this last time i went i was on my hardtail, feel like it whould bottom out al ot

[@Kirk_Knoll]

@@Fz07Luke Funny you say that.... I have a Santa Cruz 5010 (140/130) that I was going to do a video on at Spirit "can the 5010 handle the bikepark" kind of thing which I still may do. I think if you survived it on a hardtail, you'd be totally fine with the Stumpy 🤙

Looks awesome, definitely going to take my bike across the border to ride these trails.

[@Kirk_Knoll]

You won't be disappointed!
