hey Brian ... im watching from UK and i love all the more hardcore riding you so often showcase but i wanted to say how much i also like the footage like this where you are riding easier stuff but showing the location ... so often i watch these for a bit of ecapism and you showcasing the trails, scenery etc is so enjoyable ... keep on keeping on...

Thanks, I don't know what to say. The trail is amazing! Sometimes it even feels bad to watch these videos, when you see that there are so many more wonderful places to ride than in your own local routes. I would be happy if I could ride a route like that once in my life. One wish would be to ride a mountain bike in some redwood trail in America.

i'm glad you said it early on... I may not have the best skills but that looked 'blue' to me. On a green trail if you go off-line, no worries. Totally freaking awesome by the way. I spend as much time in the Sierra Foothills as I can, but Oakhurst to Auburn. The farther north you go the more local folks "get it" - encouraging trails. Obviously I need to edge a bit farther north to this Quincy area.

Yeah, whoever decided that was a green trail was out of their mind. That's a blue trail at least. Here, it might even be considered black!

Yes, correct, that is Spanish Creek (Tributary of the North Fork Of the Feather River) and is a Class IV/V, V+ river (on the whitewater difficulty scale) a very difficult level at high flow conditions. If ya have the skills, it's a really exciting run in a kayak, as in whitewater kayak, not a flat-water lake kayak. :)-

Hi Brian, greetings from New Zealand. After having just watched this video and before that Remy Metaliers Bentonville video I'm wondering if America has a National rule guide to trail ratings or does it vary from state to state? The double black trail he rode seemed like blue tech/single black at best and then most beginners would be out of their depth on this "green" trail skill and fitness wise?

Love the bike design kzfaq.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.

Carry a gun? Puh-lease. This is the type of thing that just leads to forest shootings of humans by other humans. CA Black Bear not an issue. Wolves? Not really. And Bobcats? Are you kidding? The biggest threat to mountain bikers in the CA mountains are themselves. Then other humans. Then any manner of small animals and THEN maybe mountain lion. If you carry a gun mountain biking in California, then you're just looking for a reason for trouble. Which means you ARE the trouble. Let's ratchet up the paranoia so everyone's hair-trigger on the edge and just looking for reason to shoot someone. Sad. I'd say if you're this paranoid, then stay home in your reinforced concrete bunker, surrounded by your guns & ammo. You'll be MUCH SAFER there. Let the rest of us intent on ENJOYING the outdoors actually enjoy the outdoors.

@@gundog7199 taking a gun mountain biking couldn't be missing the point any more than you are! This is a decision with deadly consequences. Bringing a gun means you have intent to use it. Having it on your person means you're primed and ready. You're also concerned about someone NOT getting ahold of the lethal force you brought along, so will be more likely to utilize the lethal force to keep it under your control. Maybe you're new to the outdoors. Or hang out with others who are perpetually scared in the outdoors. But for those of us who've grown up feeling comfortable in the backwoods, there isn't a need for guns. Foresters, mountaineers, climbers, hikers, photographers all can venture out without this need to be armed to the teeth. Sad that our world has come to this.
