A-Frame is a very technical trail (like every trail at Spring mountain) with a couple of fast and flowy sections. A fair bit of technical riding ability is needed to ride this trail comfortably but there are ride arounds for every feature so intermediate level riders should be able to get through most of the trail. Spring mountain used to be a lift access downhill park called Launch Bike Park, but it was shut down in 2014 because of "low rider numbers, a lack of resources, and an increasing concern over liability risks". The bike park decided to close down the private park and open it up to the public, allowing anyone crazy enough the hike or pedal up (me :) ) to ride the remaining trails. The dangerous features have been taken down and certain trails are maintained by volunteers so it is now safe to ride. Note that there is a difference between a dangerous feature and a feature that requires a lot of technical ability. Even though some of the features have high consequences, they are all predictable, structurally strong, and are within reason, making for a "safe"/reasonable trail. But with 334ft of strait downhill, A-Frame provides a great 3 minute run filled with creative wood and rock features! If you have any questions about the trail or anything related, don't hesitate to ask in the comment section below!
(shuttling is not allowed here even though there is a fire road to the top)

Nice vid! I think the goPro captured it pretty well. Great job on the bonus clips edit.

Ya, that one isn't too bad. You just need to hit it with a dumb amount of speed. After you do it once, you'll be fine👍

Phenomenal video! Love it. Where are these trails? Would love a little Google map at the intro to give a location. I'm in the Lehigh Valley but not familiar with Schwenksville! Great job!

@@thefriendlyneighborhoodmou7635 one thought for you. I'm not trying to micromanage your videos, because I do think they are really good, but one thing that is missing from almost every video I've seen on KZfaq is a map showing where the trails are. Have you thought about incorporating one into your videos? Even if its just a brief overview of the path you took? Here's something I've been playing with. Now, keep in mind, the rest of my video is terrible. I did this with an iphone strapped to my chest, and it was one of my first mtb rides in 25 years, so its painfully slow. But, I added a PIP in the lower right hand corner to show where I am on the map. The next time I do it, I'll probably just use the 3D satellite view as I think the two maps was a little much. I'm still experimenting. You wouldn't need this for your A-Frame video, but if you do longer rides, it can be useful. Just throwing it out there because it looks like you are trying new things, and like I said, your videos are really good. I especially like the bonus clips sections at the end. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNiWaJCDqeCYgGQ.html

@@barry1492 Thanks for the detailed feedback! I am always looking for ways to improve my videos. I agree with you. I would definitely try to add some sort of map feature in videos where it would be useful. I have experimented with some map animations in some of my videos of my trip to Roanoke, VA (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7eqqLNjms7ZoWw.html at 0:23) and those animations would work for certain types of rides/videos. Unfortunately I don't think there would be an easy way for me to add a live view of where I am on the map because I can't seem to extract the GPS data from my gopro (I have tried everything and its not working for some reason) and I don't have any other tracker other than strava. So in the future, I could do that map animation at the beginning of the ride like I did in the Roanoke videos, and/or include a link to the strava ride, and/or be good about saying which trail I am on and how to get there. Do you think any of these solutions would work? If not, I'm open to suggestions

There isn't a jump line but there are a couple of optional berms which are nice and a huge run in for a huge table top (around 30ft). Its built very well but I haven't hit it yet
