Flow Trail in the Soquel demo forest has to be one of the longest flow trails in the world, outside of a bike park. It just keeps going!

The irony Eric... I first discovered your channel a couple years ago when recovering from neck surgery. I was drawn to the sound of the tyres humming, the suspension popping and your labored breath while throwing yourself down some beautiful BC trails. Now, here I am again, this time it’s a shoulder reconstruction and I’m listening to the same sweet sounds while watching you descend! Thanks again mate - oh, and once this virus is all done, hurry up and get yourselves over here and experience Derby! Cheers ☺️👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺

In fact, come to all of Australia! We have great trails and hosted the World Champs a few times including 2009 at my home bike park!

I prefer this to the overedited stuff, I'd like to do something similar here in New Zealand but all the video editing puts me off.

Switzerland and Austria are right next door. Single track goodness galore. Go get it! But yeah, I get it. Not being to ride out your door to great trails is a true shame. But it isn't all roses here in the US either. The SF Bay Area, home to the birth of the mountain bike, still has archaic and outdated prohibitions on single track. That plus tax cuts means our agencies cannot built the trails that need to be built. We need hundreds and hundreds of miles of trail to be built in the area. I'm pretty sure mountain biking is the largest activity in many of our parks. So why are mountain bikes relegated to the minority of trails? This HAS TO CHANGE! MOUNTAIN BIKING IS NOT A CRIME!

Awesome video. Flow trail is top of the list for me. I got close to the top once, but gps failed and was too low on gas to get to trailhead. Ended up getting gas and riding in santa Cruz which was incredible also.

Dude, this channel and the content might be better than your regular channel. I love the fact that you don't cut away and it's just the noise of the trail in the videos.

Eric, at 2:32, try hitting the trail more to the right next time and it turns the following downhill into sweet landing zone. :) Trail has been partially rebuilt around Jan 2021 and is faster (and now in June, dustier) in some sections. This winter wasn't very wet. We had an excellent winter season (2020-2021) on this trail. You try it again this coming winter.

What an amazing trail! I'd love to get some details on it. What's the elevation change? Did you ride or shuttle to the top? Just how long is it? Inquiring minds want to know! Love this channel, BTW. :-)

The problem with Demo is 2 climbs for 1 DH. The trails needs to end up at the parking area not 5 miles down a long uphill climb back!

I'm trying to figure out what bike you're riding? I see it says ''Range'' written in the top tube paint and at first I thought it was a Revel Ranger but there's no R at the end of Range.

How long and in what conditions (uphill, flat, pavement) did it take to go from your car to the point of the beginning of this video ?

@grundlerg 3 жыл бұрын

It depends. Shortest route is probably down Hign's Mill road, (left on) climb Sulphur Springs Trail, and a right on Ridge Trail for a short bit. I always go the "long way" "up" (paved) Highland Way, right on Buzzard Lagoon Road (dirt), right on Aptos Creek Road to the top - (mostly) downhill starts with Ridge Trail (2 miles) to the start of Flow Trail. The climb back out (up Hign's Mill rd) is about the same - another 35-40 minutes for me. I'm slow: full loop takes me 2h (15.5mi, 2100ft elev gain).

That trail is a religious experience. A lot of work to get into and out from, but a religious experience.

@DcCock 2 жыл бұрын

Fun trail but the climb out and the drive to get to it keep me from going back. It's not just that the climb out is long and boring, it's long, boring, and the forest is full of swarms of aggressive mosquitos
