I Wasn’t Expecting Red Mountain To Be This Good!

Pretty big, that's like basically a pro line. That was good. Today I'm in Rosland at Red Mountain Bike Park and the park opens this weekend so the trail crew is giving us a sneak peek of everything. Fired up for it. All right, Lupus, the warm up trail. That's Chelsea, the marketing manager. She's shuttling us today. Shout out to her. Legend. This trail is so good. A-line vibes on a blue track. Right to flat. Yeah, buddy. Heavy headwind. The flow is still going. How's ride with you guys, man? That was good. So they're rebuilding the top of Cannon Worms here? Well, they're just fixing the spot that they had the damage to fix the drainage. Okay. Yeah. So we'll drop in just right below. So we're going to just join it right there and I think after that. Yeah. This is dope. Nice corners. Compressions are sick. Nice little side hit. This is a really cool trail. Drop. Yeah. That was fun. That was real fun. Yeah. So good. For this lap, we're going to ride the new double black trail called Obsidious. The whole trail is not ready yet. They're still working on it today, but this is the start drop. Pretty big. That's like basically a pro line. Yeah. Matty, how stoked are you for this one? I can't believe it. Unreal. I'd love to have this in a bike park close to me. It's so sick. It looks insane. Yeah. We'll roll through the top half here to give you guys a preview of what's to come on this trail. And then we'll just session the entire lower half today and get it dialed in. Yeah. Fired up for this one. This one's sick. Can't wait. Unreal. I'll have to come back here and ride this when it's open. Filthy. Oh, man. Yeah. Oh, my God. Just being able to like outside that blast into this corner. This corner is huge. It's massive, dude. Yeah. Gotta do some repair on where the water comes in. Yeah. Nice. This is like the perfect example of top tier bike park trail building. Banked out landings, steep, long turns. It's like A-Line on steroids. And then look at that fatty. Yeah. They're just cracking whips. Yeah. He's documenting the poachers. Yeah. It's crazy. They've shaped it this well by just machine. You can tell there's been like zero handwork done through here yet. Shout out to Gravity Logic for crushing it. They're real good at like, I see them with the teeth. They like pull the rocks out. Yeah. It's so impressive. Oh, yeah. Oh, those are sick. That's fun. I want to look at this one up close. Getting into that bank would be so sick right now. If we can get the speed. Normally you're chilling to pop from this lip into here. But the top is closed up there, so we gotta like crank it from one jump above. And then... Yeah, what do you think for speed? Like, you've hit this before. Yeah, you're just gonna brake a little bit. Once you're actually on it, a little brake tap. Yeah. And then... Yeah, that's rad. Yeah. That's cool. All right, Matt, drop! Okay, gotta crank into this thing. Whoa! It goes. It works! I think I was in the perfect gear for that to work. That was sick. I just bitched out at the end. Oh, I went kind of deep on the drop. Yeah, you were deep. Yeah, wow. That's so rad. I could lap these all day. So good. Sick. Oh, I'm getting tired. Oh, it's windy. Ooh, feeling it. Feeling it. All right, that's it for the day here at Red Mountain. Super sick. I had locals show me around. Josh, cheers. Thanks for the ride. Yeah, that was a sick day. Yeah, good times. Uh, Matty? Yep. Thanks for giving me an epic time in town. That was unreal. And, yeah, how sick does this mountain look? I can't wait to come back when there's more trails built, or I guess the existing trails are finished, and you can do full top-to-bottoms of these. It's gonna be unreal. That was an epic sneak peek, though, and, yeah, I'm fired up. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one. Later.
