Dupont State Forest has amazing an MTB Flow Trail that anyone with decent bike handling skills can enjoy, making it the perfect place to take newer riders. They can progress their skills and learn good braking technique while you can shred the flow trails and find all the sick side hits to jib!
We take a look at my favorite three trails to take newer riders..
Hooker Creek was once a blue flow trail and was one of my favorites as a beginner but has since eroded into something that resembles a downhill park green trail.
Hickory Mountain takes you to one of the higher spots in Dupont before dropping you into a slightly more technical flow trail with tons of options to get off the ground if you keep your eyes peeled.
Ridgeline is famous for its flow and it does not disappoint! Over a mile long descent that can be ridden as fast or slow as you choose! Nothing overly steep or technical but just rollers and natural looking berms cut into the trail keep a smile on your face all the way back to the parking lot!
Click the link below to check out the route on the Ridgeline Loop:

This trail system gets busy on the weekends so show up early or expect the parking lot to be near capacity!
(If Lake Imaging is full check Guillon Farms parking lot)

Rode most of these trails yesterday and it was quite the blast. I’m not crazy on the bike but def got some nice speed and little air here and there and made for such a great time. I really do love the challenges at DuPont and the flowy trails. Awesome video!

Good stuff. Love that loop but like to add in Hilltop Loop and Rocky Ridge into the mix. Also like playing with different lines on that rock on Jim Branch at 5:23. Fun!

@MtbFrequentFlyer 2 жыл бұрын

I totally agree with hilltop and rocky ridge but once I started editing I realized the video was going to be much too long if I included those! That rock feature is so fun for line choices!

Did some 23-34 miles at Dupont on a single speed hardtail. In some areas, I was working harder on the descents than the climbs.

You should do more videos showing where to park and how to access trails. Especially I’m that area where you need to connect multiple trails

@@MtbFrequentFlyer I believe it... All the different cuts and drone footage .... Did u film it across multiple days or single day? Did you have multiple cameras set up to take the coming and going shots or did u just do it with multiple takes..

I was riding BuckForest rode back in the day and a pickup with California plates very courteously overtook me. When I got to visitor center it(the pickup) was parked behind a semi with two giant fake rocks on the trailer. The driver of the pickup apologised profusely for stirring up dust when he passed. I was like, "Dude, you aint from around here are you, Im usually dodging beer bottles." I asked "Whats up with fake rocks, not enough real ones?" He laughed and said "Well, I cant really say, but I am production manager for movie." I had read Hunger Games, one of my favorite books was being filmed at DuPont, and said so. He laughed and shrugged.

Makes no sense to skip Hooker Creek if you are going to straight to Ridgeline.

@MtbFrequentFlyer 2 жыл бұрын

I agree but the extra climb tends to make newer riders struggle so I figured I’d give them the option 😁

@netposerx 2 жыл бұрын

@@MtbFrequentFlyer I see, but always tell them going down Hooker Creek to get to Ridgeline is a much better option than a fire road. This spring I met a group of Pittsburgh riders at the entrance of White Pine and convinced them to go down Hooker Creek to get to Ridgeline instead of the road. They were stoked when I saw them in the Lake Imaging parking lot later. haha
