The Vail Bike Park has always been one of my favorite lift-accessed riding areas in Colorado. The lack of crowds and prevalence of proper DH tracks has me coming back year after year. If I am being honest, this is one of the few places inn our state that still warrants a proper DH rig.
Jump in the train with Janker Teddy Jaramillo and loc dog Matt Jones as we ride Magic Forest, Old Nine, and PMT. This was filmed about a month ago when conditions were prime and the gelato was firing. #followcamfriday laps on laps on laps on my Yeti SB165 DH.

Trestle still my favorite bike park but Vail is fun. Wish they would build more as it seems it has the same style pitch as Angel fire! Angel Fire is my second favorite and close to colorado...

That section with the quick left and right and the flicker from the light coming through the trees was wicked. It looked like an old-time movie but with color. Sic ride.

I have some old footage of us riding Vail. We rode "Old Nine Line". It looked like that trail under the lift you guys rode. That sucker was steep. This was fun trying to identify some of the trails we rode in their original form. So sick.

Thank you for still shredding bikes on your channel and not doing bike part reviews and building stuff in your backyard. 🤘shred on! Always looking forward to your videos.

I personally enjoy the reviews and bikes bulding. Actually, we haven't seen one in a long time.

@topspot4834 2 жыл бұрын

I enjoy anything MTB related, but no doubt about it Nate's channel is the best. His first Dirt Merchant video was when I found out DH riding was even a thing. I like Seth too, but nothing makes me want to actually get up and get out more than Nate's videos. Been to Sedona, Trestle and Angel Fire (I'm from PA) all cause I first saw em here.

Well done! Love Vail! Always have...Something about that red dirt and aspens. I'm pretty sure you could do multiple "Vail Follow Cam Fridays" to include all the goodness. Oops. No, never mind. Go to Winter Park :D LOL Actually CB/Evolution is another park I'd say could use a full DH bike. Thanks Nate! Happy Trails!

@@natehills9388 I don't but I also don't ride Banana Peel so ... I actually thought Trestle was perfect for an enduro bike. Lotta fun intermediate flow trails (Happy Camper, Paper Boy) and most of the more popular black ones (Rainmaker, Cruel & Unusual, 36 Chambers) you definitely don't need a DH rig.

Awesome video! i was out there 1st part of july on my new Hightower. I wanted to do Old 9 Line but the entrance had me a little concerned that my Hightower with 160/150 travel wouldn't be capable enough lol well at least that's how i rationalized it. PMT was such a fun trail. Thats the one with big tables right?! good riding Nate!

The Boxxer is reduced to 190 and it feels great. Maybe a half degree slacker than stock. Feels great. You can mullet any bike if you want to.

I took a friend here who's an expert skier but had never been mountain biking before. Don't remember the trail, but he gave up after a single lap on a blue. These trails seem significantly more groomed from what I recall a few years ago.

@topspot4834 2 жыл бұрын

Haven't been but read Vail Resorts has spent and plans to spend a considerable amount on the bike park over the next 5 years ago that'd make sense. I believe the number was around $20 mil so it's pretty significant

Does the 165 with DH fork make it feel like a true DH bike or slightly less?

@natehills9388 2 жыл бұрын

As the rear has 165mm of travel, it feel like slightly less. Which it is. That said, it is all I need at Vail and feels markedly more stable than my trail bikes with the big fork.

@@natehills9388 Slow???... he was so fast he just barreled through the jank, hence "Janker." My kind of riding. Gotta love the personalities that come out the trail. He needs to hang a set of balls from the saddle.... he would enjoy the wheel rub I suspect.
