New Jump Trail at Giants Ridge! | Mountain Bike Minnesota 

Looks incredible, Northern Minnesota is steadily establishing itself as a MTB destination with trails like this! Buck is absolutely right about trail rating disparity between Midwest trails and elsewhere, "Minnesota Double Black" is almost a meme at this point.

Stoked on this!! And stoked for people to enjoy the trail! Old Buck styling out 🤙🏻

SO happy to see a new video Kris, and of course it was that dope jump line! Can't wait to run into you again! And Adam is 100% right at the end. My 7th grade daughter and I tore down that trail. She was super overwhelmed with a couple of the features, but totally rideable and rollable and on a second pass, all good. It's a spectacular all-rider trail.

Rad! I was excited to see a new video from ya this morning! Really stoked to go ride this trail now! Looks like you’re fully back on the horse now, you guys were shredding!

Another fantastic video! Your filmography skills just keep getting better and better... and your perspective on the trail is great. I really want to get up there to check out all the new riding at GR! I wish I still had a full squish but it all looks pretty smooth so I'm guessing I could rock the hardtail for now. Thanks for the video!

Great to see trails like this. I've been harping that Spirit needs to get a good progressive jump line built for some time but all they seem to want is to cater to the few hard core guys who love big gaps. Next we need them to build some closer to the twin cities!

Rad video Kris! I spotted a wild Jacob Link near the end! Always dig your productions, keep it up! Oh, and nice van ;)

Love this trail! This jump ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_9W3_jSGwKo.html is the biggest send I've done in several years; and it felt so sweet catching the transition! I chickened out on the road gap drop...wasn't sure my 120mm Pony Rustler would happily accept that big a hit; but it looks pretty smooth on video.

The most beautiful sharing my dear keeping up ,stay connected ❤

I was that annoying guy in the Battle Creek parking lot last week hassling you to create more videos. ;) Ask and ye shall receive I guess. Great story telling as always and gets me excited to get back up to Giant’s Ridge.

Watched it again. You make very good video. I wouldn't mind if you made more 😜

Great video, looking forward to hitting this and other parks up there this summer.

Killer videography/editing Kris, looking so smooth

A great video buddy, great trail and sick ridden. Fantastic content and great footage. Keep up the good work and have fun. Greetings from Switzerland. Ride on

Looks like a lot more fun than those flat river-bottoms we used to ride! Ha

It's awesome to see how many trails they have built at Giant's Ridge. Feels like just last year there were maybe 3 trails up there? Now there are 10+ gravity trails! Have to book my weekend trip up there.

This trail is sweet. Dope video as always! I do gotta say though, for your criteria of what makes a good jump trail, I feel like this one does sometimes miss the "landings you can case" mark. I was able to clear most of these, but the first run down was rough try to scout and read the speed as an intermediate rider. I had a buddy who was a beginner with jumps who was overclearing leap frog, but this trail was just too much to try to get a feel to hit these safely. The big dip seems like an MN trademark, but it was a total turnoff to try to clear some of the bigger ones seeing that lip at the back... It's hard to get it perfect but that's my one critique of this trail. l hope they keep up this direction though! Buck is totally right that we need more blues, I think we need a way to approach these big jumps and progress up to clearing them all.

Been there 3 weeks in a row now since this opened. Only thing close to this I have ridden was in Big Sky. Nothing else comparable in MN. We need more like this. Smiling whole ride down.

what did it end up being called?!

YAHOO! Excellent work here! Great to hear from the Buck about the goal of this trail and the crew absolutely smashing it🤘Lots of steezy riding from you both!

What’s the name of that trail?

Dang. That looks like an insanely fun stretch of trail the pathfinder dudes built, you think it’s the best at Giants? Sure looks like it. Not sure why but I feel like Buck’s cut-off jean shorts really lend credibility to his closing statements. Great video as usual and good to see you back!

YES! Awesome to see you back at it! Great vid as always... Hopeful to make it up and hit myself ..soon enough!

It was great to see you there that day. We were with Adams brother Josh breaking in the new trail and boy , Buck done outdid himself with this trail. Love your vids, keep them coming

I love seeing Buckhouse and Kris Yahner productions teaming up.

Rode this on Friday. Unfortunately the rain from Thursday and a strong headwind made it hard to carry speed. Can't wait to get back up there and really give it a go. You made that drop look easy and it looks so small on camera compared to real life.

Wow. Thanks for sharing this with us. That looks amazing. Good to see you post again. Good for us. Ha

Great to see you flying again Kris. 100% agree with Adam.

This trail looks legit! You know how to get the best shots to show off the true scope of the features. I'm going to have to head up there this weekend. fkn love giants!

Hey. You going to be riding this weekend? Where?

We love watching your vids and are excited for the new content. Well done.

Great work as always Kris! I want to check this place out soon!

Heading up there for the first time with weekend. Can not wait

Yes!

Going to head up this weekend and give it a go.
