This video was made before they redid the trail. Back then the park had destroyed the jump as it was rogue (which I only found out by someone commenting on the video). Now it's built up nice and is perfect at trail speed.

@@PhillyMTB I guess thats why is felt so easy to do.

@@enderawesome4521 yeah I was actually there today. It's buttery smooth now. So fun!

Ramble On has my vote! Zed's is a close second.

@@TrailSage can't argue with that. Definitely gonna send that drop on zeds bigger next time!

@@TrailSage you gotta check out good day sunshine (divebomb on strava) if you haven't ridden it. I just looked on strava and only a couple have even ridden it once I think it's relatively new and it's definitely unique for our area.

@@PhillyMTB I might have to check that out. Is it a loop or out and back?

@@TrailSage it's a one way (19% average grade) descent off S Miller's Loop down to the bridge over creek at the northwest end of the park. Highly recommend and great way to finish a ride if you park at the abandoned road

Thanks Roman. Definitely worth scoping out. Between, french, birdsboro and mt. Penn there are a ton of options if you're heading that way

😂🤣😂🤣😂

I was reading about that yesterday on trail forks. I saw pics of what it used to look like. Such a shame

That gap is still plenty gap-able though Mike! Just gotta keep the speed up around that turn!

I just rolled it. It's still a pretty sizeable drop (~5 or 6ft) if you actually drop it to the transition. I wanna hit that proper next time I go. The pirate jet gap unfortunately was vandalized and there's not much of a lip. Pretty much seems like a case jump now. I walked it again last time I was there.

@@PhillyMTB That is unfortunate. Do you use Strava? I’d love to see what route you took. I’ve only ever started on the cocalico rd side and never ventured over to the ramble on side of things

@@zachduvall982 I post my strava route on most videos but didn't in this one bc I got lost and turned around a bit and didn't want people to follow my route and make the same mistakes... Here's the route for this ride: strava.app.link/KRZ2GSel5eb

I've been a few times but it's been a couple years. Definitely want to make it back there this year!

@@PhillyMTB I live a few miles from there and have built my own trail system at my house if you’re ever around lmk you can come ride it. 💪🏻 lots of drops and jumps

@@mexicorolls 🤘🤘

Combination of ways. Primarily through word of mouth of riding friends, local FB groups, and seeing where people in my Strava network are riding. That said, Trailforks is a great app and totally worth the modest $36/year fee if you are serious about exploring new trails (and getting maps/routes that can be used offline for backcountry type riding experiences). If you're just looking to discover new places, you can use Trailforks website for free to explore trail systems by region and discover new places.

@@PhillyMTB I live in central jersey do you know any good trails close to me, I’m just starting to get in to mtb

@@pearcebrittain7758 definitely recommend Allaire State Park. Great for a beginner, although it gets pretty sandy in the summer. You should check out trailforks.com or download the app if you're looking to explore new trails.

There are plenty of beginner options at Belmont and the wissahickon in Philly proper (although you may have to walk some sections), but if you're up to travel, white clay in Newark, DE and Nockamixon near Doylestown, PA are very beginner friendly.
