Brian Head Bike Park: Every Trail from Double-Black to Green! 

TRP brakes! The best IMO

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

For being a small park, Brian Head has a good variety from green trails up to black and double-black

I am very fortunate to have the ability both with home and with work to get out and about as much as I do. Thankfully my wife likes to do it do (though not near as much as me) and I go too long without an adventure, she chases me out the door cause I'm starting to go crazy

Better get down there!

Thanks!

Sweet! Brian Head is awesome!

Thanks! Brian Head is rowdy for sure. Even the intermediate trails are rough and rocky!

They've packed a lot into a small park!

There's a few spots on Wildflower where I'm definitely not completely in control ;-)

@@minerbiker I believe it. I think I'd spend more time on my back than on the bike if I tried it

Yeah I rode it earlier this summer and it was way more rutted out and rough than it was last year. Such a wild trails!

Thanks! Glad you liked the video format. The "MinerBiker" comes from me being a mine engineer by profession. I work at an underground salt mine in central Utah. Then obviously I love biking too, hence Miner Biker

Or if I do go I'm getting the rental lift pass combo with a dh bike and Atleast 170mm travel

I've hit most of the stuff up there, including Corner Canyon and Deer Valley. Defnitely a bit different than the rocky roughness of southern Utah. Thanks for watching!

I think you got them!

@@minerbiker Appreciate this video! We'll be headed to BH soon and it's good to see what is within my ability range. The trail map shows a few others that weren't covered or maybe were included as part of your rides down.

@@allenpiscitello There are a few other little short connectors and stuff that I didn't identify in the video. Also the new Timber Glitter trail that was not open yet when I was there last year. Super fun trail that's worth hitting! Have fun a BH!

@@minerbiker I noticed Lil Gritty was marked as Single Black on the trail map, but you have it as Double Black, do you know why that might be? I saw someone else listed it as Double Black in a video too.

@@allenpiscitello Trailforks shows it as a single black. But Brian Head has it signed as a double-black. I went with their official designation, not the Trailforks one

Congrats on getting a La Sal! Mine has over 2,000 miles of hard riding on this frame, and she's doing just fine so far.

That's Brian Head for you! Not a very big bike park but it is rocky and gnarly

Personally think a trail bike is just fine at BH. The only trails that a DH bike would be nice to have on are Lil Gritty and Wildflower but even those a trail/enduro bike handles fine

I usually up pressure for Brian Head to prevent flats from all the rock impacts. Suspension setup is key

@@minerbiker how would recommend suspension set up? I ride a lot of back country that’s choppy because of horses and wild game.

@@307.William I ride similar stuff like that as well. Usually I'll add a volume spacer or two front and rear to make it more progressive so I can run the pressure a bit lower, allowing for more initial small bump compliance while still ramping up for bigger hits. I don't run any high speed compression damping and very little low speed damping. And fairly fast rebound so it can keep up with lots of little chattery hits

@@minerbiker thank you for the heads up. I only use a few clicks of HSC and no LSC to keep things active and control. I’ll back off a little and let er’ buck.

@@minerbiker rode there today. You. Make it look easy. There is literally no dirt! It’s Soo washed out

Thanks! Honestly I am better at riding rough tech than I am jumps. I have very limited opportunities to practice jumping, but I ride rough techy stuff all the time, and it shows when I go to bike parks
