Incredible views and awesome location. The drive up the mountain is steep with very tight switchbacks.

Great video. Your camera angle is my favorite on TH-cam for MTB.
Much appreciated!!
I bet if you made a bunch of shorts and uploaded them you’d get a bunch of subscribers. Your content is awesome!
I agree I probably would get more subscribers. Crazy thing is I never expected to get more than just a handful of subscribers. Not sure if I'll start making shorts or different format of this content in the near term. It's something I've thought about.
Good meeting yall last weekend. I’ll hook up with you guys again soon at Windrock or Kanuga.
@mtbknox Good to ride with you and your crew as well. I agree we need another outing to Windrock or Kanuga.
These trails look awesome. Your videos are very helpful for a fairly new mountain biker like myself who is always looking for new places to ride emtb. I would say I'm a fairly solid intermediate now. Looks like I could handle most of these trails, or at least I think so lol.
@FloridaE-bikeAdventures - I just passed my year mark being on a full suspension bike. I rode a full rigid bike through my growing up years and into my early thirties. After taking a break for 15 or more years, I'm back riding. For sure most of the trails here are for intermediate riders. This is an incredible place to ride, from the well groomed trails to the more gnarly obstacles.
Just gear up as there will be crashes. I had two good ones on this trip, but, I got right back up and kept going for the whole day.
One of the things that confuse me is that people never record the "worst" trails. I guess because its based on the opinion of the rider and maybe the skill level but that would be an interesting video. Excellent work once again and thank you for bringing us along. Next week we ( my butt and my head) will hit bakers creek for a solid day of pain. Wish me luck sir. Look forward to seeing more fun and bruises from you soon!
You bring up a very good point. I hated my first run down Black Mamba, but my next run down it I really liked it. I also hated Green Mamba because the bottom part didn't have any features, yet it was the trail I chose for my very last run (forgot to turn on my camera). I struggle with my favorite vs worst trails. Going to Windrock or Vee Hollow often on one pass down I love a trail the next, I choose not to hit it. What I'm really saying here is that I'm too subjective to have an opinion on a trail that lasts longer than the trail is long. Earlier this year I wanted to focus on flow and big jumps, so my favorite trails would be something without that. Now, I've really enjoyed the gnarr especially at Beech during this adventure.
Best of luck at Baker!
@@AppalachainMTB Completely understand. I personally would like to hear you opinion on the trails though. I mean even just general comments on them or why you made that choice. Not asking you to explain yourself. Please dont think that. I just like to know what causes someone to pick A or B and avoid C, etc.
@@Oper8or I see what you're getting at.
Beech Mountain this trip -
Black Bear - worst trail for me. Too rooty and the obstacles weren't much fun and I left too much of my chainring on some of the rocks. I never went down on the trail, but wasn't feeling it.
Best Trails - These are because I was liking the flow and the huge shark fins -
Indigo (top of the mountain)
Canebrake(lower mountain trail) - awesome mix of flow and berms
Hellbender - killer run out flow section to finish the run.
Honorable mention was Black Mamba - big drop I wasn't ready to hit, but thought about. The drop I did hit was super well built. The tech was challenging and still fun. You can take it all the way down or 1/2 way down and then I could go over to Canebrake for some more flow.
I need to get up that way this summer. One day there and one day at Sugar around the corner. I'll hit you up when I can
@shaneridesmtb Hope your hand is healing well. I'd love to do another day at Beech. It's got a lot of options on each of the trails would be worth another trip up.
I have a trip planned to ride Sugar the last weekend in July.
When you're ready to hit them, let me know. It would be good to do some trails with you.
