Dude, how'd you make it up that climb on Manzanita?! Seated or standing and what gear? The camera doesn't do it justice at all lol.
Seated with my butt on the nose of the saddle. 32 up front with 46 out back. Definitely tricky but doable.
You're a better man for clearing that rocky uphill section. I don't even bother riding up that portion. I just do the walk of shame, lol.
Keep at it! Only took me 10 yrs!
Thanks for posting this. Was riding in Marin today and reminiscing about when I used to live and ride in the peninsula. Skeggs was one of my favorite places to ride so this brought back memories. I forgot how rocky it is but love the singletrack in the forest beauty. You killed it on those trails!
Congrats on 1,000 subscribers! You deserve it, the quality of your videos are outstanding!
George Washington wow thank you Mr President!
I apreciate how in this channel the ideo is so unfiltered so we can se how much your bike moves and bounces plus as you arent the best you kinda inpire other new riders or casual riders to try out things we normaly wouldnt try
Greetings fros spain 😇😇😉
Thanks for the kind words
You are modest. Loam woulda soiled himself on those singletracks.
Love Skeggs!. It's not that the bikes are more capable. You probably got better also! LOL. I still got my old Titus ML-1
I was hoping to check this place out, but if the trails are as much of a rock garden galore as this video shows...my hardtail ass is gonna have to pass.
Hey Man, new to the sport, how do I know which way the singletrack flows? I don't want to crash into any other rides going the opposite way, thanks!
kudos on the rocky steep climb! never cleared that myself.
Only took me 10 years! lol
looks like a fun ride. gratz on making that climb! I have a few I need to clean myself.
Such a great feeling when you finally do it!
That place looks fun! 3k in climbing though, you definitely earned it.
Yup, gotta pay to play.
It’s nice video with very interesting facts about the track but I have a friendly suggestion. Even your video is in 1080 resolution it still looks like it is very poor quality I am pretty sure it’s because of the render settings you used in your editing software. Check out Google’s recommendation about render settings for video uploads do TH-cam or find some TH-cam video suggestions how to do that. your videos will looks way better even without 4k
Man gotta go there!!
was just here today. mtn lion county
Congrats on 1k subscribers!
Thanks dude
I dislike this place because even pushing your bike our from the bottom is torture. To see people climbing it is insane. Scariest ride I’ve even been on because when going back to the car, a giant tree branch weighing 40 pounds almost dropped on me.
This place can definitely suck a soul out of you.
The first year I rode Skeggs and Manzanita was on my '83 Stumpjumper. No suspension, cantilever brakes, 26" wheels and tires from 1983. It was actually a great bike, long rake for stability, ect.... After that, the next 15 years were on hard tails, Trek and Lightspeed. Then a long break and never rode full suspension until a few years ago. The park has changed. Harder due to the wear and tear of the trails but easier because of the more sculpted trails and bridges over the culverts and trees we used to have to ride over and through, and a gutted Porche 914. Some new trails but a lot of the truly narrow single track is gone in the name of "progress" I guess and Mid-Pen's dictatorship of the park.
Great job with the video and commentaries. Love that you can share personal experiences with a trail or bike and have it relate back to mountain bikers in general. Also really like hearing background information on the different trails (especially how some of them got their name!).
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Much more to come!
Dude don't stop making videos, they're great!
lol
Thanks for the detailed narrating. Definitely wanna check this place out.
Great stuff man. Last time I was there, some riders told me to do Sierra Morena to Oljion to steam donkey. Worth it?
Can't say that I've taken that route before. I've done SD right off Skyline, however your route would skip almost a mile of the trail.
Good Video and sick trail 👌
Thanks!
Climbing up good downhill rocky trails.... to the gallows :)
Been riding here for years, tons of great trails, however they never seem worth it with the steep climbs out especially if you ride all the way down and far side. Hate to say it but an ebike would be the way to go here.
Great video! I ride about 1/4 the speed you do but that preserve has some of my favorite trails!
So what is the front / rear travel of the bike you're using in this vid?
It's a Yeti Sb4.5c which has 140mm up front and 114mm rear with modern trail geometry.
Awesome Video! Two questions: Do you react to poison oak, and if you do, do you, how careful are you at avoiding it when you ride these trails?
No issues with PO at least for me. Knock on wood
I left the trail on resolution this very Sunday past and no PO here!
It's a miracle!
BTW, great job on the video. Trying to learn a good loop. This helps.
Good stuff! These trails look like a lot of fun.
Definitely fun!
ew climbing. Haha, Sick video man.
lol. Gotta pay to play!
meh.. i'd walk it.
Looks like a nice ride. Im gonna have to give it a try
Nice job, man. This was great.
Thanks!
That a SB150?
looked so good!!
Going there for the first time today!!!
The music
Hey man, nice video. Any suggestions for newbies? I just started biking and have been practicing at Bedwell Park off Marsh Rd in Menlo Park. I'd love to check out other trails in San Mateo County
Open Space areas along Skyline (Hwy 35) have plenty of good biking trails that are easier than Skeggs. But some sections in Skeggs are good for everyone, and Skeggs has the best trails in mid Peninsular.
Jeff L thanks! I’ll check them out, now that the rain has gone for a few days
I concur
Saratoga gap.
Get up to Water Dog in belmont . Build your legs there. But plenty of PO.
Skeggs is a steep climb!
Definitely pay to play!
Great video!
Thanks!
Awesome video guide man!
Thanks for watching!
Great riding man!
Thanks!
