Stop what you're doing and go to THE COVE. 

You guys both inspire me so much🤧🤧

Thanks, Bobo! 😎👌

Heck yeah, Sploosh MTB 🤘

It's been a beautiful fall here!

It truly is a special place.

Haha, vetted by proximity! I'm really glad you enjoy the channel so much, that always makes my day to hear. As for the BKXC video, now I feel like I have to go watch it. hahaha!

Thanks, Ryan! I'm really grateful Roanoke decided to embrace this sport like they have.

That is awesome! There's so much more stuff around Roanoke now too, lots too explore if you'll be back there for a while.

@@SemiSendy I was able to ride Carvins Cove 3 times! If yall are ever in Arkansas, HMU if ya need a tour. Mount Nebo is a can’t miss

Thanks, you too!

Cheers, Boyd!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Definitely classic in all of the ways that you would hope for!

Heck yeah. Definitely a great stop to add. Cheers to your upcoming retirement!

Oh nice, that’s super close to you guys. You’ll love it for sure. There’s some other high-quality rides in the area as well.

We will definitely have more racing footage in the future, but I decided to take the filming element out of the few races I’ve done this year just to let me focus on getting my head game back. I miss doing those episodes though.

@@SemiSendy everything has still been great without it. Keep it up!

Heck yeah! Ali and I checked out Dody Ridge for the first time a few weeks prior and that was a blast. I'd never ridden it before.

@@SemiSendy haven’t ridden Dody. Just googled it tho and looks like fun.

I bet they were thick this week!

That’s right! 🤘😀

Honestly, I have yet to check out Rattlin'. I'd love to get more time up there in the future to do so. I am also anxious to get out and see all of the changes at Pandapa's. I've got a buddy that's done lots of work up there and the stoke is high. I hear Blunderbus is a blast.

@@SemiSendy Rattlin is a special kind of technical - slow rock tech - different from anything else at Carvins - if you can clean even half of it in one run you’re a magician… Pandapas is on my list too - heard the same awesome things

@@FoCoFlowShow I will definitely have to give rattlin' a go. Do you know anything about Rock'n'Roll at Carvins? I saw a photo of it once and was curious. On trail forks it shows it possibly being located on the other side of the reservoir off happy valley, but the trail itself isn't marked on there, just the trail name randomly floating just north of Happy Valley Rd. I'm wondering if it's worth pedaling over that way for since I usually stick to the Brushy Mtn. runs.

@@SemiSendy yea - RnR is a machine built flow trail that’s above Happy Valley - past Arrowhead if your on the FireRoad coming from Songbird … Its pretty mellow and you actually have to pedal for a lot of it so it’s not on my “must ride” list - especially since it’s clear on the other side of all of the other epic stuff out there

Rattlin’ is like a rocky trials course. I’ve only been to the Cove once a few years ago. Only had 3-4 hours so stayed on the upper trails. Good video. Now I know where to ride and have to get back soon. EVMA does trips there.

Thank you, Pairforce1!

You won’t regret it

Over 2 years strong, such an incredible bike.

It’s my favorite helmet to use with goggles for cooler rides. Super comfy.

Hey Eric, I remember you from Trough! I definitely hope to visit Bryce this season. I’m overdue for a visit. Hooch does look like a big line 😳

🤘☺️

Glad you enjoyed it, Yohannes! 🙏

@@SemiSendy I went out and enjoyed the gauntlet and hi dee ho. Worth all the climbing!

Thank you! Cheers!

That's awesome, Ballard!

Legend has it a local sign manufacturer designed and built it with his sons in 1949 intended as a christmas decoration, and it just ended up sticking around. The city has always kept it up and even switched up color displays for various significant events. They use to light it up red on evenings when someone was killed in a DUI accident as an awareness beacon. I also remember them lighting it up red, white and blue for the first time when roanoke was awarded all-american city.

🤘

Nothing to it but to do it!

Thanks, Charlie! I don’t think I’ll be able to make it to Bobopalooza. I’ve been getting slammed with a heavy amount of work travel until mid December.

Trail ratings are really relative to the system itself and it depends on what you’re comparing it to, but I would personally give it more of an intermediate rating. There’s nothing on it that is a mandatory feature or truly constitutes a black rating. I say give it a go!

I filmed this right at the very beginning of November.

Dating myself a bit....haha.

Heck yeah!
