About Me: I'm not a pro mountain biker. Just an average dude loving all the adventures mountain biking has to offer. I do tons of trail building at Everstoke with Brian from BKXC. If I'm not building I'm riding my bike on some sick singletrack or hanging out with my family. Adventuring every day I can.

I lived in truckee for 8 years and jackass was my go-to ride when I only had an hour or so to ride. So good!!!

@mtbingadventures1551 4 месяца назад

That's awesome! I wish the rock roll features would've stayed the way they were a long time ago. They sanitized them with dirt. Still fun but I love the more natural rock stuff

@ericmonty 4 месяца назад

@@mtbingadventures1551 haven’t ridden there since 2019 when they were still working on el burro. But yeah I loved that trail the way it was!

@mushieslushie 2 года назад

Also check out sawtooth area if you have never been over that way. Basically the lower portion of Big Chief. They are closer to blue maybe even green but they are fun to cruise. There is a newer trail over there called Wood Splitter, while it's short it has some fun features on it and some jumps. You can actually drive right up to the bottom of that trail but riding up, doing a few laps on that then taking happy face back to the car is a nice semi short ride. They also just opened a 'skills' loop right near the parking lot. Might be some more inspiration for Everstoke.

@mtbingadventures1551 2 года назад

Thanks for the info. I'm very interested in that Wood Splitter and skills loop. I have done some of the Sawtooth stuff but haven't really explored it out very much. I just rode some of it after I did the Big Chief ride. I will be sure to make my way over to these in the near future.

Turfstone is what the pavers are called.

@mtbingadventures1551 2 года назад

Ah, I see those a lot. I like when the trails have those. Makes those sections almost bullet proof

@PuffinPass 2 года назад

Looks like a fun trail. I do like the little details they added like after the first rock roll there is that catch berm to stop you from running off trail. It also looks like they have a lot of side shots burnt into the edges of the trail, makes for a nice mixed ability run/progression trail.

@mtbingadventures1551 2 года назад

Great you noticed all that stuff. I'm actually thinking about going back to these trails for some practice runs because of all the cool little things they built. It would be really cool to learn where all of them are. I need me a good progression session

@PuffinPass 2 года назад

@@mtbingadventures1551 It looks like a good one because most of them looked to be pretty low consequence but fun, almost like designated trail jibbing points.

Man I miss that trail. Glad you went and rode it.

@mtbingadventures1551 2 года назад

Did you move away? That is a trail I'm going to try and ride more often now that I go by there pretty regularly

@TheSkyViking 2 года назад

@@mtbingadventures1551 yeah I lived in Portola for a while. I used to go to the Brewing Lair all the time so I know exactly where Everstoke is. I’m in Southern Oregon now but still really miss it down there. I definitely need to come down there soon.

@mtbingadventures1551 2 года назад

@@TheSkyViking yeah, if you make your way down that would be great. Maybe we could build some trails and ride.

I like when you commentate on your videos. I think just more pre-thought to your words and then using the speaking/negotiation skill when a thought comes to mind of taking a deep breath to think about the thought twice and then saying it on the exhale while trying to talk very slowly might help a lot. Also, just simple positive reactions to the trail as you ride it goes a long ways, "Woah, Awesome, Smashed It, Giggle, Eeek!"etc... Hope to ride together soon when the weather gets better!

@mtbingadventures1551 7 месяцев назад

Great feedback. Thanks. I look forward to riding with you this year if you can make it happen

@HD-on2eg 10 месяцев назад

Being from the Bay Area at Sea level, any type of climbing at that elevation and I can’t breathe. Really sucks. Takes me a while to acclimate.

@mtbingadventures1551 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, I'm up at 4300ft pretty often. I still have trouble getting used to elevation. I start sucking air hard

@trailjockeytj6160 2 года назад

You gotta trust yourself and just send those gaps! Especially on that trail, they’re all so doable just like you say keep your hands off the brakes.

@mtbingadventures1551 2 года назад

I just gotta get used to them. I've done bigger jumps just got very familiar with them.

@kevinbickelmann2260 2 года назад

Hey Aaron. Trail looks good! Didn't know this one existed. BTW: I tried clicking your Strava link above and it was linked incorrectly. Looks like you mashed up the trailforks and strava link all in one. Anyhow great video. I think I will check out this out in a couple weeks.

@mtbingadventures1551 2 года назад

Glad I could show you a really cool trail. Thank you for letting me know the link was all jumbled up. I went back and fixed it. It should work now but do let me know if my technical genius is still messing it up.

@kevinbickelmann2260 2 года назад

@@mtbingadventures1551 Works like a charm now. Hey I saw your older video of Big Chief and was thinking about mashing these trails up like your links (LOL) for a single day of riding. Would that make for a good day of riding (Big Chief + El Burro = MTB awesomeness)?

@mtbingadventures1551 2 года назад

@@kevinbickelmann2260 Great! Yes, I think those would be awesome to do in one day. El Burro and Donkey Town were quick even though I pedaled up. Big Chief is a bit more of a climb and mostly fire roads. I would do Big Chief first and really think out your parking spot and climb route. If you have a shuttle driver you could do each trail twice I would think.

@trob6108 2 года назад

I had a very similar clicking sound on my bike that i hear in your video, i took the fork out and greased it, re tightened everything.......fixed mine. may work for yours as well

@mtbingadventures1551 2 года назад

I'm on the hunt for that annoying noise. Seems like everyone I fix one two more take it's place. Kinda like a Hydra.

@boydcrowder4436 2 года назад

Looked like fun. Some of those shadows must have been tuff on you?

@mtbingadventures1551 2 года назад

They do mess with me a bit. It is harder to judge distance but I think I just have to have more confidence with jumps. I think the shadows look worse on video.
