Raccoon Mountain is a MUST SEE when it comes to mountain biking locations in the southeast. You will not regret it! The views are incredible, the trails are awesome and vary in style. The first loop was roughly 14 miles and then an extra 8 (4 miles up the paved road) added on to do Live Wire 1 and 2.
The route I took got fairly difficult particularly when descending High Voltage and ascending and descending Live Wire 2, although it could be done by a mediocre rider taking care to go slow.
Trails in this video (in order): Live Wire 2 (ascending), Live Wire 1 (ascending), East Rim, Electric Avenue, Laurel Point, Split Rock, High Voltage, Live Wire 1, Live Wire 2
Feel free to comment. I would like to hear what you think.

Thank you for NOT adding annoying music in the background. That totally ruins videos. I just don't understand why some do it. I can't watch those.

@coralhound 2 года назад

This and Coldwater Mountain are now on my must ride list! Thanks for the videos!

@_Aitch_ 2 года назад

That's awesome! They're two of my favorite places to ride

Tried this on my single speed hardtail. Um, it was tough, lol.

Miss the videos, man! When you coming back?

@ChattanoogaDave 2 года назад

Unreal!! I was on edge watching this. So fast!! This video should have tons more views. Well done!!

Thanks! Glad you liked it! Thanks for the SUB!

Great video. And great job on a very rough mtn. My wife doesn't like me on it, because it's kinda like a small wilderness up there, and extraction with an injury would be problematic. But the beauty is unparalleled.

@_Aitch_ 2 года назад

Thank you! I guess they call it "The Scenic City" for a reason... so beautiful and there are so many awesome places to ride

@edt5276 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the great sneak peak of Racoon Mnt! Finally a Mtb video featuring a normal personality; neither revved up to 11 to perform for the camera, nor overselling the experience. 👍

@greglovelace7689 4 месяца назад

No ! But it is raved up by an Electric bike ! Bwhahaha

@Mtbdrumrunner 2 года назад

awesome video and riding! im thinking about checking it out this weekend, torn between north ga, dupont, coldwater, the list of trails in the area is unreal these days, keep on riding, subscribed!

@_Aitch_ 2 года назад

Hoping to go to DuPont for the first time within the next month so no comment there but Coldwater and Raccoon Mountain are both pretty awesome. Coldwater is probably a little better imo

@Mtbdrumrunner 2 года назад

@@_Aitch_ thanks for the feedback, Coldwater looks really tempting. Dupont is a lot of fun, definitely worth the visit, start and or finish with Ridgeline and you will get a good pump for others like Jim branch or hickory, it's an awesome view either way, keep it up look forward to seeing what's next

@_Aitch_ 2 года назад

@@Mtbdrumrunner sweet thanks for the advice. I'm probably headed to DuPont this month so I was just about to start doing some research. Hopefully the collarbone heals up soon and I can put out some videos by the end of the month

Rode Tsali at the beginning of this month (Sept.). 10 hour drive well worth it. Stayed at the campsite 3 days two nights. I am heading to this one in April or so. Is it doable on a hardtail? I always ride any kind of trail in HT but saw one rocky area that will bump my HT nicely.

@_Aitch_ Год назад

I’d say so… Most of it is certainly doable on a HT but there’s definitely very rocky sections on the blacks (Live Wire 2 and High Voltage). I think you could get it done though. Lmk when you go I’m interested to hear your opinion after riding it

@cibablea 2 года назад

You are a ferocious rider with crazy strength. Sold me the trail. Thanks.

@_Aitch_ 2 года назад

Thanks! This is one of my all-time favorite rides

@richarddecredico6098 Месяц назад

It;s an ebike

@ronnance Год назад

Nice on sight burn! Fortunately, that’s a nearby loop for me. You had a super solid pace descending LiveWire1. Parts of that trail sort of sneak up you.

@_Aitch_ Год назад

Oh man, Live Wire 1 will get you with those couple little climb sections. They’ll take it out of you but it’s still one of my favorite trails. Jealous it’s local to you. Raccoon Mountain is one of my favorite places to ride

@jeremyohart4536 Год назад

Looks like a blast great reward for the climb up.

@_Aitch_ Год назад

It's one of my favorite places to ride. Straightforward climb up the road and solid trails all over

@senditvia 2 года назад

Im heading up there in a couple weeks and your video was awesome. Thanks for the preview! Any advice?

@_Aitch_ 2 года назад

If you’re up for it, go up livewire 2&1 then come back down 1 then go to the top. Livewire 1 is really fun coming down, and worth the extra pedaling imo (I usually take the road up to the top after doing that instead of the trail)

@benstep2 2 года назад

Enjoy your videos. I rode this last fall with my son. Coming down the same way with those rocky and steep switchbacks. Almost as bad as the ones on pilot rock!

@_Aitch_ 2 года назад

It's definitely really chunky in spots. I want to go back soon because this video was made almost 9 months ago and I was there almost a year ago. I'd like to see if I would handle it any better. Really fun trail system!

@petedivine Год назад

Raccoon Mountain use to be my local trail. I lived 10 minutes from there on the mountain adjacent to it. I've got hundreds of rides on Raccoon Mountain. LiveWire 1 and 2 are my favorite trails. I just finished some major work on my bike and took it for a shake down ride yesterday. I was thinking of Jerrods this weekend but maybe I'll do the 2 hour ride up to Raccoon. Its not the drive up there that's the problem its the ride back 🙃 I'm super tired after riding from the parking lot up live Wire 1 and then going through Laurel Point and down Live Wire 2. Then a 2 hour drive back 🤫 ugh.

@_Aitch_ Год назад

What did you end up doing? Can’t ever go wrong with Jarrod’s. But Raccoon Mountain is an all time favorite of mine too. I get you though. That drive back is a killer!

@petedivine Год назад

@@_Aitch_ I ended up going to blankets creek. Its so much closer and its fun but nothing like the Vibe on Raccoon Mountain. Raccoon is the ultimate in me time...

@ThaddeusReeves Год назад

Where are the jumplines at the beginning of your video? Been trying to find stuff like that since moving to the area.

@_Aitch_ Год назад

Those are in the free ride area at Big Creek Park in Roswell, GA

@_Aitch_ Год назад

If you want jump lines, there’s a couple good ones in Quehl Holler at Blankets Creek in Woodstock, GA. If you want JUMPLINES go to Jarrod’s Place in Summerville, GA

@weaselsmopar6843 2 года назад

Put a cush core in and you would have been able to at least ride the rest of the way out. But have ridden Coon a bunch very fun trail system.

@_Aitch_ 2 года назад

Been looking at putting cush core in there. Since that video I've upgraded both tires to more durable casings and haven't had any punctures since. Those factory Maxxis tires are really just to get you out of the shop.

@troycarpenter3675 2 года назад

@MTB H my buddy rides cush core. I tried his bike out across a rock river bed. It was like riding on carpet! That being said it adds like 2lbs. I'm switching over to dd casing instead.

@_Aitch_ 2 года назад

@@troycarpenter3675 I think that's a good move. I haven't had any issues since upgrading the casing. Feel like Cush Core is something I'll end up getting at some point just because I want to try it out.

@cheningonzales 2 года назад

Hi! I recently found out that my family; last name Key, are buried on top of Raccoon Mountain in the Key Cemetery. There are no headstones just markers. Have you ever seen, heard of, or know anything about the history of anything having to do with the last name Key? Any info is appreciated. Also, thanks for this cool video and the adrenaline rush I experienced without killing myself. What kind of bike do you have?

@_Aitch_ 2 года назад

Unfortunately, I don’t know any info about the area but I do know there are a bunch of attractions nearby that could have some info. That might be a good place to start. The bike in this video is a 2021 Scott Spark 970 but I recently got a 2022 Specialized Enduro Expert. Glad you liked the video!

@cheningonzales 2 года назад

@@_Aitch_ thank you so much for replying! There are some pretty dope bike trails around San Francisco and Mount Diablo in California as well, in case you're ever out this way.
