Miracle Mile Full Pull 2022 - Snow Summit's DH Mountain Bike Trail 

Awesome! Gimme a shout if you see me up there.

Thanks! Taking it one run at a time! 🤘🏾

Agreed....Great job with the progression.

@@MTBMOR 🙏🏾

Thought the same thing, can really see the difference, dudes shredding.

@@323johnnybravo 🙏🏾

Ha! Well, when I have grip, I don't know what to do with it. 😂

Tire choice and pressure is key!. Smaller block "faster" tires grip better in dry, loose over hard SoCal terrain.

Maxxis Assegai. 🤌🏾

Thanks! Tommy is definitely one fast ripper! I told him he should do a DH race. 🤘🏾🏁

Ha! Thanks! And that's why I try and diversify my content. 😉

@@mtb_alan same same. I’m not in your level, but still like to diversify my content as well. Between adding music, taking and 3rd person footage. Keeps things interesting. You’re doing a great job

👊🏾

Thanks. Whips are earned by bar that are turned.

@@mtb_alan Well put! I think you have your next T-shirt slogan!

Yew! 🤘🏾

Thanks for saying so. Been around a lot of really inspiring and patient people who've helped me progress. Miracle Mile is a classic!

@@mtb_alan yeah same with me in terms of patient ppl helping me to progress but also I find ppl are asking me for help / tow ins etc. the Mtb’ing community is full of awesome ppl and that’s part of the reason I love the sport

@@DMMTB 💯

🙏🏾🤘🏾

Thanks!

👊🏾

Right on! Yeah...there's a lot of opportunities to "learn" on those trails. 😆 I think I have the Reign like 90% tuned. The switch from 27.5 to full 29er has been a bit of an adjustment...particularly in turns. Overall I am diggin' it. I think it may actually fit me a bit better.

@@mtb_alan I'm sure it's an adjustment going from a 2.75 to a full 29er. Definitely seems like that bike fits you well. I'm currently riding the Giant Trance Advanced in a 27.5 and digging it. Carbon frame, carbon rims, Fox forks/rear shock and Shimano components for under $4K was a great deal. I'm already thinking about my next bike, 2023 Santa Cruz Bronson :) Keep up the great work and looking forward to your next video.

Sick. I was riding the Trance X Advanced 29er, and that thing rips! And you said it, Giant gives you a lot of bang for your buck. Bronsons are good quiver killers. More on the playful and park-y side than say a Hightower. I had a blast on the V4 Bronson. I'd be the 2023 will still be a V4.

What ya looking for?

Those are pavers, and yeah, it's pretty dry here and the dirt is a lot of decomposed granite.

@@mtb_alan makes sense. Just don't see them really over the pond! ✌🏻

This trail has entire sections that are pavers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_S6Ba_m1PwQ.html

Good question. Party Wave is probably a good next step. It is faster than Blue Steel and has bigger features, but they're all pretty friendly or have go-arounds. If you can clear 650b (the green ramp towards the beginning of Party Wave) and the Muscle Beach tombstone (in the set of four jumps), you are probably ready to try out Westridge. Westridge has some big jumps that are less friendly. That is to say, they have harsh knuckles that will eat all your speed or possibly send you OTB. Westridge also has some big features that people get stuck on if they come in without enough speed. But...as above, if you're good with 650b and the Muscle Beach tombstone, you will probably survive Westridge. Now, Miracle Mile. I would have to know what your experience level, but you can always get to lower Miracle from the bottom of Blue Steel. You gotta go under the bridge and go left where it splits into Turtle and Miracle. If you feel good on that, try Miracle from the top. Hope that helps!

@@mtb_alan So true about Westridge being less friendly/harder. I followed some guys on Westridge two weeks ago, and quickly realized it was above my pay grade. I made it down though and I will ride it again after more practice on Blue Steel.

@@mtb_alan Thank you! I'll probably go for a pre-ride on Party Wave next time but merge onto Blue Steel. Thanks for the 650b and Muscle Beach tips, I've never heard that advice before.

@@col.sanders6549 No problem. hope to see you sending it!

I dunno if it's faster or slower than Snow Valley's chair, but there are two chairlifts. The runs are long enough that most people can't do full-pulls on them. And I'd say the trails are more varied than at Snow Valley.

@@mtb_alan Thanks Alan I usually ride Northstar here in Tahoe. I am going to hit Snow Summit and Sky Park for sure and a kitty litter day at Snow Valley. 🤘🤘😀🔥

Nice! Sounds like a fun trip.

If you want some more variety, you can also check out some of the trails on the back side of Snow Summit, like Fall Line: www.trailforks.com/trails/fall-line-52356/

@@mtb_alan sick thanks Alan

Snow Summit. 🤘🏾

It's a Giant Reign. It's been tearing it up!

Yew! I'm demoing the Giant Reign. 🤘🏾

Sick

👊

Yeyer!

I’ve been demoing a Giant Reign. Really diggin’ it!

@@mtb_alan that’s awesome bro! I have the giant reign sx, I love it!! Dope to see you shredding on it 🤘🏽 be safe at the trails!!

Nice! Are you pedaling the SX much? That is to say, how is it on the climbs?

@@mtb_alan yea man, I ride three times a week, Aliso, oaks etc, it’s climbs ok compared to all the higher end bikes, but the downhill and jumping is amazing. My set up came with a fox 38 in the front and fox coil DHX2.

@@mtbjonny757 🙏🏾

...or maybe that's a straightaway on a DH track.

@@mtb_alan for sure. That’s probably exactly the case. 👊🏼

I can confirm…having been the one behind the camera.
