Getting Sendy at Frick Park • Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania • The Duke of MTB
Рет қаралды 17,025
Күн бұрынOn day two of our stay in Pittsburgh, PA, we headed out to Frick Park. We weren't expecting much from mountain bike trails located in the middle of a city, but boy were we surprised. The descents were longer than we expected and some of the features were straight out of what would be expected at a bike park or a more mountainous region. Needless to say, we had a blast.

This is the now the most well produced video in Frick Park. 👍 You’ll have to come back next year. So much has changed/ is changing. Maybe we’ll finally get the signage we’ve been requesting so you don’t end up in the parking lot from Roller Coaster.

They have some descent trails smack dab the middle of town. You're also only 3 hours from Horns Hill in Ohio, & 4 hours from Snowshoe. I'd be getting season passes for Snowshoe and riding there every other Saturday or so. Needless to say, I think you're gonna be fine in regard to trail variety. Yeah boi! 🤘

Awesome Video. I'm from Plymouth, MI. So totally know what you guys are used to. I rode Frick Park, South Park, and White Oak Park in 2021 on a visit to Pittsburgh. Just went back to PA (July 2022) and went to State College to visit friends and ride. If you do another PA trip you have to go to Raystown Lake. Flowy and fun. Then go get your ass kicked at Rothrock State Forest. Brutal stuff there. I based out of State College and had a great time at night hanging downtown with the locals and college kids. (FYI I'm an old potato guy and survived). But a Blue in PA is totally different then a Blue in SE MI lol

Haha. It looked doable, just not for me and Cory. You'd just end up further down the trail before you can come to a stop. There's also that big tree you have to avoid. I probably still wouldn't do it if I went back there. It looks even more sketchy in person. Loose rock, steep, non rollable, and a big tree = too many things could go wrong. 😅

Hello I was wondering where to find the rock drop trail and also really enjoyed the video I have watched about 10 times lol
@dukeofmtb 3 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoy the video! The best way to find it would be to download the Trailforks app and use it to navigate. 'Rock Drop DH' is a super short section consisting of just those drops. You can ride down Iron Gate, take the 2nd left fork onto Concrete Block, and then the path to Rock Drop DH will be on the right soon after. Good luck. 😁👍

Hey Ed & Cory, the drop you did was trickier after landing than the drop itself with it being so loose & the grade keeps going down! Can I ask what part of Asia is your heritage? I only ask because even though I have Welsh heritage I ride with a Filipino group from Sydney a lot & with my limited exposure it sounded like it could of been Filipino the couple times when Cory wasn't speaking English???
