Hi, I'm Eric, I love Mountain Biking and I'm trying to get you hooked too.
As a California kid I grew up surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding. Now that I've been mountain biking for 20 years or something that is pretty much all I want to do. Technically I'm pretty old but mountain biking keeps me feeling young.
I'm married to my sweetheart and we are blessed with 8 awesome children. If I can find time to ride, I bet you can too.
I hope that you'll subscribe and join me on my rides. I believe that you are never too old to have fun and ride fast.
Nice work on that skinny drop. Still have never done it, looks so janky and consequence doesn't seem worth it. A little surprised you didn't show any of upper Quarry, did you hit the middle rock/root chute? Love that trail so much!
Your video footage is super smooth and sharp - what are you using to film and your settings you film with? Would greatly appreciate it. I am riding it in a couple months from now.
Cameras do zero justice for how steep some of these trails get. It's so dusty out there right now. Did Mud Springs to Mill in AF canyon last week and had to keep ~45 seconds between riders just to be able to see the trail.
I just got into Mountain Biking. And live in Eagle Mountain nearby. Is there a way to connect to a community of riders or page so I could meet people to ride with? Or know about meetups nearby?
That looks awesome. For those of you who have ridden it, would this be a good trail to work on my jumping skills (which are minimal right now)? Unless I missed them, I didn't see any gaps, so it looked like everything is rollable if needed.
Yes it's perfect for that it's a progressive jump trail. You can go bigger by hitting the jump on the bigger side or smaller on the smaller side there are a few table tops but you can roll them if need be try not to roll the actual lip though at least hop off the lip.
The lower half of Zooropa definitely needs to work as far as clearing the trail, packing in berms & jumps, etc. Once they get that new lower half dialed in I think it will be the best flow trail we have in Utah county. I did 7 or 8 laps on it a few nights ago and had so much fun.
I rode this last week. It's soooo much better! I don't understand people liking the old Zooropa... I can't wait for this version it to get packed in! On a side note, there is a new DH trail in Butterfield Canyon that is called Apex that you should review. It's not that big, I'd say it's as fun if not a little more fun than vertigo, but I like all the tight turns and hips in it. Rad new trail!
Just rode that last night, such a good trail! Little loose in some spots still, my back wheel went into a rut I didn’t see half way up a takeoff and I about shit myself
The ESI racers edge are the most comfortable. They’re the smallest ones. Everyone overlooks them assuming chunky is the answer. Try them out, Esi racers edge. they’re the most comfortable!! and they give you as a Bonus more clearance to get it your dropper lever, and your shifters.
Looks like a fun little ripper. Almost did what you did here on Levitate the other day, just a momentary lapse in concentration. Hope you feel better soon man.
First run I scrubbed it and felt awesome. Next run I was going a little faster and didn't scrub it at all, kinda went right off it. That was really the big mistake.
It’s rideable but we still have a lot of plans for it, including signage, so it will evolve a lot over the next year or two. I definitely recommend a cruise through prior to sending.
@@RideLabs my wrist is getting better every day, been wearing a splint to minimize the use of it. A couple more weeks and hopefully I’ll be back again. Heal up fast man. Love your POVs!
