Angel Fire Bike Park has NO chill

Angel Fire certainly must be one of the most underrated bike parks in the country... it's isolation in New Mexico may make it more difficult to get to, and it may be overshadowed by other western resorts... but boy does it shine. This is a park you need to check out. Host of a World Cup in 2005, and more recently the BME (Big Mountain Enduro) series, it has a proven track record.

sweet, trestle just closed up for the season and you got me sold on angel fire! 🔥

@sterlinglee98 Жыл бұрын

This place is even crazier in the winter. They “close” the bike trails but nothing a little ducking can’t handle. The ski runs are okay but the bike trails are freaking crazy on a snowboard. I learned on this mountain.

Fun fact: it is possible to gap the chicane at the start of the big set on Candyland, going straight from the first berm onto the run up. I've seen people do it but I haven't done it myself out of self-preservation.

Your channel needs more attention. Great content sir. I started on your Bomber stuff, and started looking into the back catalog. New sub for sure. Thanks for your effort. I watched everything I can find on the Z1 coil, and can't find anyone else really getting into GRIP damper perfromance, on the coil.

@GlobalTrailGuide Жыл бұрын

Thank you my friend 🙏🏼 planning to release another Z1 vid soon, but hard for me to find specific words for GRIP performance. No complaints from me for the price. Of course I have to wonder how dreamy a GRIP 2 might be in there, but it’s an extra $350 I struggle to justify spending

Heyy i completely forgot to check our your video. Jacob told me about you. I didnt work that day but lift ops here is so chill. I ended up hurting my self on the clock so i only worked opening week then i completely cased the kicker on hungry huppo ( the big one) and ended up flying over the handlebars. And i ended cracking my tibia then i injured my self in the winter by crackiing it again :/ You should try comming here in the winter. This year had amazing snow. If you going to come down here this year ill probably work afain and ill probably be there. Us locals are crazy 🤪 but we want you all to enjoy urselves because this mtn is a gem.

Yes! Palos is the home of my first mountain bike race, the Meltdown back in… 2016? Unfortunately I haven’t been back since, so I haven’t made a video there, but it’s always in the back of my mind when I visit home. I’ll get back eventually 🤘🏼

@wpf312 Жыл бұрын

@@GlobalTrailGuide Nice! I’ve done the Meltdown race too! There are some new trails and improvements since ‘16. Only thing that hasn’t changed is the elevation lol! There’s a few challenging techy trails in the “Canal” area and some spicy unsanctioned features nearby. Some ok stuff (stairs and whatnot) by the lakefront/downtown Chicago for when the trails are closed.

Seems like a nice trail but I have a question about the bike, did you test it or do you know how it performs at higher jumps or big city stairs?

@GlobalTrailGuide Жыл бұрын

Very nice indeed! A lot of these jumps in this video certainly weren’t small, and as you can see, the only thing that may hold someone back is themselves! That’s my problem at least 😅

@GlobalTrailGuide Жыл бұрын

@@lunatic2328 any enduro bike is going to be more than capable for big jumps and city shenanigans... the long travel suspension will make for more comfortable landings and help to absorb bumps (including stairs). On my Instagram I have videos of me riding this bike up staircases 😅

@@GlobalTrailGuideI love Angel fire and I ride there all the time. They do have some gnarly trails and something for everyone, but comparatively, pajarito is just ridiculous with hand built trails and old school wood features.
