New jumps, same sweet loam

Hey guys, welcome back for another episode. It's one of the best times of the year. It is Mount Prevot opening weekend. We are going to be hitting some downhill laps today. I have Jeff Erickson in the back. What up? Yeah. Aubrey MTB up front. She's going to be giving us some shuttle laps. Shuttle driving. Come join us on the ride. Let's go shred. Boom. Alright, we're starting off with the first trail called Upper Mr. T. First time back at Prevot in a while so got to ease into it and kind of get a feeling for the trails again. Beautiful fall conditions. Nice tacky dirt. Sun shining. Got a drop coming up and I'm gonna check it out. See some people have like landed short. That wasn't gonna feel good. The sweet spots to go about three meters further than the takeoff and then down there there's a really hard right hander into the corner. So yeah we'll hike up and hit this one and then we'll get into the rest of the trails. Dropping into the drop. How's first lap feeling Jeff? I got the first lap Prevot jitters but it's all good you just got to ease into it here. It's pretty gnarly so yeah just get the first lap over with and take it easy and then we'll go from there start sending it. Yeah I'm feeling pretty rusty too so try to get our downhill legs back beneath us and up the pace in the laps to come. Exactly. Respect Mother Prevot and it will respect you. All right let's drop in. All right. Oh big jump coming up. Whoa yeah sick. Oh we're into a trail called Bubonic now by the way. It's a nice loamer trail. It used to be more of a loamer but that's the way things go. All right Jeff. Jeff's gonna lead off this section. Well this trail is called Threat Level Midnight. Prevot is so loamy. It's so steep. It's so sick. Nice one dude. Yeah. All right dropping into the creek gap for the first time this season. Oh that step up got a little bigger. Yo. Nice one Jeff. Did not expect that. All right buddy. Yeah. Okay. All right we're gonna drop into the jump line on Prevot called Adrenaline and uh they did make some changes to the jumps this year so we're gonna uh stop and check that out. Oh so that's one change. Wow. Whoa. That's pretty big. Yeah. So this is definitely where they've made some pretty big changes. Trail used to go kind of straight through to the the big right hand hip way down there and uh I think they're trying to slow it up here add in a couple corners so we'll just have to check it out and relearn how to do it. Well this one looks pretty cool. Yeah this one looks good. I think this one looks pretty mellow. Yeah. It is kind of a pretty big like redirect though. You've got this like huckleberry bush like right here it's like almost like you just like want to go straight through that thing. Yeah so you're gonna like come into this you're gonna kind of that way and then right away there's that next jump. Yeah yeah it's pretty sad. All right Jeff's coming in for first run in. Yeah buddy. Okay guys second attempt on the jump line gonna try and hit it all with the new features or at least see how far I can get. Yeah yeah dude. Sick first lap dude. Yeah that was great. First lap of the provost season. Oh that feels so good. All right second lap gonna drop into Memphis. This is one of the uh older original trails on the mountain known for its steepness. This is the middle section of Memphis. It gets uh super steep at one part coming up so try and uh whoa try and uh take a chill through some of the steepest bits. Whoa that was hard to hold on to. Yeah Jeff dude that's a tough section. Holy cow it's like steeper and off camber. Yeah and the rut's getting bigger too. Yeah wow damn yeah one of those things that uh I don't think the steepness always comes through on camera. Yeah I know it doesn't. But uh yeah Mount Prevost is steep. Yeah buddy. That's a good follow. Thanks dude. You're welcome bro. Yeah that felt pretty good. All right we're hitting up Ritz trail. Hey dude. Hey how's it going Griffin? Hey how are you doing Eli?
