So stoked to see that you’re still doing this type of filming and not using those lame ass drones or playing background music during the ride. Love your channel!!
Get back over here. Wak yo ass up! Drone footage wouldn't have been that bad on thus video in a few spots, he just didn't really need it. Alright, go back to sleep.
“A little bit of chunder”... nice euphemism for pedal strike city. And that view of the truckee from above is always breathtaking. Nice summary of one of the many sweet rides in the area.
That area is still on my to-do list for North Tahoe. Funny thing was that while you guys were riding that, I was on the other side of the hill riding Big Chief trails at the exact same time. Weather has been PERFECT that weekend and the small storms we were getting made for some serious brown pow!!! Now to get you and Robert (B1KER B1) over the hill to Carson City to sample our singletrack. I know you rode with Jonathan Lee in Reno (actually he is how I found your videos when I busted my leg in 2016 as he and I raced together for a short while) but I think that Carson has MUCH MORE to offer than Peavine Mtn. But then again I am biased!! Great vids as always!
Glad to see some people utilizing and enjoying Tahoe! I used to live in SF and Tahoe was always a Favorite of mine and as an Easterner I have ONLY good things to say about it all- ride safe guys!
I’ve done this route many times, nice ride along Thunder Cliffs, Twin Crags, dumps you out where there is plenty of parking, heliport is there and fire station.
Youre in my old stompin' grounds. Glad to see park rangers arent being called like in late 70s early 80s. That was the funnest part for us..blaxingbdown the mountai runnin' from the rangers or cops. Thanks for all the great videos. Me and a buddy got left in South Lake Tahoe in high schooll. We walked all the way around the Nirth shore. Took all night
Not many people really are. There's an amazing story "This American Life" did about a woman fighting for her life against a rabid raccoon. These animals are far more powerful than you'd ever imagine. Worth a listen.
I road this section of the TRT ~10 years ago with a hard tail ... the last section back down to Tahoe City is the only place I've ever gotten a *triple* pinch flat (3 holes in the tube) - it's that rocky. Fortunately one of the others riders in the group had a spare tube.
You should do a video where you make a "must do rides" list broken up into a few regions of the US. So "must do West coast rides", "must do PNW rides", "must do east coast rides". It could be a cool series to highlight your all time favorites.
I live super close to this trail. I'm going to have to check it out sometime this summer. I love it when channels provide detailed directions to the trail they were riding.
Very nice. I was able to get three Tahoe trips in this year myself. On the south side though. We were fortunate enough to have my buddy’s wife shuttle us as well. Best trails with the best views! 👍
It's so nice to encounter trails that have a little bit of everything. Decent climbs followed by tons of flow with some jank mixed in. Really cool stuff on these trails!
Rad vid Brian, Tahoe is amazing to ride, like your comment about not seeing much wildlife mountain biking vs road riding, I rode some trails near the Grudge in Simi yesterday just before sunset and saw a mountain lion perched up on a ledge on those rocks, and was glad I had my bear spray!! You have mentioned always wanting to see a mountain lion while riding, trust me it will scare the shit out of you!
Just camped out on that trail in July! I was over by Spooner Summit (just outside of Carson City)! No kidding did we have a hard time finding a good camping spot 300 ft off the trail! Some of the best views you can find though!
Got directions to the same trail from one of the bike shops when I was there last year. Great ride. Had an encounter with a large deer. Rates on my all time list.
Thanks for being consistent with videos and all the entertainment. Your videos help me get motivated to ride after those long works days but want to ride afterwards.
Oh and regarding merchandise, would have one over here in England pretty quickly if there were other colour options. I know you don’t wanna be bogged down with multiple boxes for every shade of black, but red I just cannot wear. Now blue/navy/slate I could get along with 👍
Nice fancy new overlay effects Brian! I like the trail name & difficulty animation. I would suggest the swoop sound effect being a bit quieter though. Sorry to invade the RU-vid comments, but I wanted to clarify some info about your commentary regarding Trailforks selling ridelog data. This is not true, but It has been something we've thought about as a possible revenue source, but not in the way you describe. We could sell some sort of special features using aggregated ridelog data to land managers. But most the aggregated ridelog trail usage data is available for free publicly on the website already, we'd have to come up with some more data or remove some of what exists from the public (but still make accessible to trail associations for free). We've given trail data away for free many times to various city planners, consultants, researchers, non-profits. We should charge more often for that, but we don't have the time and resources to manage it, so it's often easier to just give data if they agree to our data-use terms. But this is trail gps track data, not ridelog usage data. We've never given or sold that to anyone in any form, nor would we. Like I mentioned above the only thing we could possibly do in the future is sell access to aggregated and anonymized views of the ridelog data matched against our trail data. (Example: www.trailforks.com/region/tahoe-city/ridelogstats/) We would never sell or give away the actual ride gps track data. We do have a deal with Garmin to provide trail GPS data for their Trailforks powered basemap on the new Edge 530 and 830 devices. Basically we are too busy too even pursue selling data! We do use your ridelog data for Trailforks though, to help improve the map for everyone. That aggregated data is used to determine what the most popular trails are in a region, average times to ride a trail, determine the most popular routes, generate popular routes & help suggest routes matching your ride history. It also helps contributors improve the gps track accuracy of trails. And provides those trail usage statistics that can be a valuable planning and advocacy tool for trail associations. I will stop rambling now! :P I need to ride Tahoe, it's always too early in the year when I'm down that way for Sea Otter.
Watching from NC, hehehe-- Just wondering since your Brother is in such amazing shape you guys don't ride together or film more often? Seems his 2018 Spectral is holding up well, I have a 2018 6.0, I didn't want to break the bank on my 1st full suspension, upgraded seat and carbon wheels. I am 64, still out there and happy with green/blue intermediate trails, keeps me in far better shape that the typical guy my age.I have 4 days off and been checking Trailforks myself for a few days of riding
Kind of surprised this is your first time in the area since your so close(*for the channel). Reno, Tahoe, and Carson City has a vast amount of great trails
Hello Brian, I think that there are a wealth of trails waiting for your blessing in the Bear Valley /Lake Alpine area. Was there on the weekend of October 5 & 6 and was pleasantly surprised at what was there.
Dang! Another place to put on my wishlist of places to ride, of course after I get a new mountain bike. I retired mine from offroad use and gave it to an old Retired Navy guy who just needed a bike for back country roads.
Great video--your editing choices are really good! Your vids do a great job of taking the viewer along for the ride. Being East Coast viewers, you give us a very tasteful feel of "place" in your work. I love the extra footage of town here (again, it really contributes to the "travelogue" feel!) Well done!
If you haven't been there, you should check out the Rim Trail from Stanford Rock/Twin Peaks down to Tahoe City. Perhaps the best section of the Rim Trail.
We will finish the Stanford Rock Project this year. TAMBA has built nearly 5 miles of bike optimized singletrack on Stanford Rock. We have about another mile to finish this year. Converting it from old logging road to bike optimized singletrack. One of the best, and least well known views in Tahoe from the top. Stanford Rock sits on top of a rock “castle parapet” with unreal views. We completed the summit section in 2019.
Dude, the views on that trail and the trail itself are amazing,, BUT I gotta say that the editing on the video is on another level, really cool info with the little cards..
enjoyed the video. Next you should do Christmas valley on the southside. A wonderful trail to learn technical stuff for advanced beginners and early intermediate riders.
Damn shame we spent 6 nights in Mammoth in September 2018 when we were over from the UK and didn’t stay a few nights in Tahoe. That riding looks so much nicer compared to Mammoth, which is basically trails full of kitty litter. Nice video, now with pop-out tags 👍
I watch your videos every night, help me to relax and your videos I must say are well put together. Thanks for sharing with us. Will be looking out for the next trail adventure :)
Loved the tagging effect! Not so fan of the zooming noise effect though, as I found it distracting from the overall pace. Kudos for making your videos better!
Nice one B! I'm trying to get out there before the season officially changes out there. In SoCal winter is riding season, but not so much on Tahoe & Downieville. Good stuff.
You’re doing a great job on your edits these days Brian. Well done. I love that you don’t add any freaking music! Please never do that! Another epic ride dude. Keep up the good work👍🏻.
