I mountain bike to meet new people, push my body and to experience new and interesting trails. From humble backyard jumps to machine cut bike parks and backcountry vistas, I'm on a mission to bring these trails home to you. These mountain biking videos are for everyone from advanced riders to those who have never ridden a mountain bike before. On this channel, you'll find area overviews, daily rides, trail previews and a few tutorials on everything from trail building to adventure camera gear.
Here you'll find • MTB Trail Previews • MTB Area Previews • Ride Guides • Guides on how to film and edit. • Other mountain bike and dirt jumper how-to's.
Thanks so much! Went through a crazy knee surgery (not biking related) and just coming out of it. More videos definitely in the works just getting back in the saddle :)
New to the sport and the state, I was a bit hesitant on making a send all the way out here. However, your video made this trip very digestible and pretty stoked to see a ton of variety in the terrain. Thanks for the great video.
Love your videos, as a Seattle local, and this one was particularly exceptional. Well done! You've got mad skills both on bike, and with your videography and editing!
Never, ever, and i do mean ever pedal the powerline road. It's the road to heartbreak and despair. Just go back up Easy Tiger and pedal out on NW Timber. 😅🤘🫣 Just found your channel kiddo. Good stuff and i hope you make it happen.
I’m moving to Seattle area towards the end of this year and am SO excited for all this awesome looking mtb’ing. Your videos are getting me STOKED! My first FS bike is on the way so I’ll be ready for shredding the Seattle area! Thank you for all the content.
I've only ever 'almost killed a dog' on a trail. It was off a leash running ahead of the owners. The grass on the side of the trail was taller than the dog. I'm 240lbs. Had I been 'pushing the decent', I would have bulldozed the dog and killed it dead. As I am upon it just past a turn, where I could not see it. The only reason the dog lived was because I was taking it very easy that day. Please, for the dog's sake, keep in on a leash, or keep it in the car.
Nothing worse than seeing young people waste their youth by shuttling. Eventually everyone gets to old to pedal to the top. When you get that old, you should be able to look back and remember the joy of your young body pedalling to the top of the hill...
Just moved to Tacoma Washington and I've been hitting Tiger and Port Gamble (ended up getting the discover pas). Your videos are super helpful in helping me determine where to ride and which trails to hit. Looking to hit Raging River after watching your video about it. Would love to ride wih you and have you show me around!
Thank you thank you Claire. I really appreciate these guides. I'm new to MTB, rode BMX for years so I'm pretty good on a bike. But there's a fair amount to learn in making that transition. I've only really ridden Duthie and a couple of other places around the city in my first couple months riding. Looking to gear up and head to some proper trails now and it's hard to find videos about this stuff. Evo has a great written guide for a bunch of places around. But videos are always better. These are great!
Yay! You sir are the very reason I made these videos. Joining the MTB community can be tough, especially for newcomers to the sport. I’m glad these videos are helpful. Stay safe and enjoy the ride!
About to ride this, so I came back to watch this video. I noticed we never got parts 2-4 and you haven't posted in a year. Hope you're doing well. I have greatly appreciated your videos for exploring local trails.
Hiya! Sharp eye ❤️ the short story is a series of unfortunate events and the longer story is coming soon. I greatly appreciate that you’re out there enjoying the trails. See ya out there soon!
The world needs more trail guides like this! I was lucky enough to visit Raging River back in February 2021 and rode CCDH, PT, and a few others. I wasn’t able to get past the clearing on Raging Ridge but boy the other trails were exactly what I was looking for. Rooty, raw, loamy, everything that this NorCal boy could want
Claire, did I hear you right on time mark 2:08? "GaJah!"="Lets Go!" WOW! Ok, you're my hero now. Not only you're a trail master, but also multi lingo. Want to learn one more? "DaeBok" = "Awesome or Rad or the BOMB" Happy trails!-
I appreciate the full trail showcase. I'm not sure I would have given it a chance because of the double black rating, but it doesnt look like anything I can't do in there. Just maybe not as fast as you :) Nice chanel!
Ty ty! Definitely some go-pro effect for sections of Predator. The last bit before the rock roll is not for the faint of heart and bit difficult (but not impossible) to walk. Best of luck!
Fun fact; The BBTC Backcountry Bicycle Trail Club was once a charming bicycle club, we had birthday parties, and camping trips and all kinds of advocacy, money raising and social events. Then one day it suffered a hostile takeover by who is now Evergreen, they are scoundrels.
@@ClaireJencks The people that advocated for backcountry access in Washington for over a decade might disagree about how good the historical moment might have been.
The trail reminds me a lot of Sixth Sense down in Yacolt, generally fast and flowy, but the berms and features are mostly built into the natural terrain rather than built up. Also follows the same theme as a lot of the black trails up there so acts as a progression trail, like how Sixth Sense gives good progression into Thrillium.
