They have improved the trail system on the west side (now called Cancourse). It’s much better now and it’s a designated mtb trail, go check it out!

@@WoodsRydah Okay thanks! Whats the name of the trail?

Thanks for the comment. Come ride with me this summer.

Fezzari La Sal Peak

I don't have TF so I can't look give you names listed there. Several areas have changed since this video was made. The west side of the mountain off of Shaddock Ln has some nice climbing trails and flowy jumps that are fun to hit (for Canfield). The area is called the Concourse. Its non-motorized hiking and biking. Climbing up will eventually get you to trail A, trail A to USFS 2342 road to trail D. The soil will be very soggy, puddles, mud. It doesn't shed water well. You might consider Beacon Hill in East Spokane WA (about 40 min from CDA). its a very popular place to ride and much better to ride after rain (trails shed water quick) and has more diverse trails that are super fun. Good luck.

@@WoodsRydah THANK YOU so much for taking the time to respond. I will check out Beacon Hill. Not really into riding in mud 🙂

That was an Evil Following MB

@@JohnCalderwood007 thanks i was just curious. that only has 120mm of travel right? you sending it pretty hard for only 120

@@calebw707 130mm fork, 125 rear. Yeah, It was a great bike! I felt it was just a little under gunned for that trail.

Thanks Andrew! I don’t know the name of the trail, but it’s a new spur off of pop rocks. Drops off the trail maybe 1/3 down to the left off a slab of rock.

The La Sal is holding up well and has met all my expectations. I’ve been happy with it and have decided to keep it for a third season mainly because it does everything well and is not significantly different than newer bikes designs that have come out. With normal maintenance, it’s running like new, despite several wrecks over the past two years. It’s durable and reliable. Hope that helps.

Thank you

Yes, I still enjoy the bike. I would like to have a shorter travel trail bike that would be more playful on the less demanding trails because I’m getting older and less daring. But the Fezzari has given me a lot of confidence on tough trails. It has held up fantastically to the abuse of harsh hits and wrecks of a 200lb rider. The geo is modern and efficient for climbs and descents.

@@WoodsRydah Thanks, I'm balancing between it and delano. 215 lb old man in Arkansas. I am beginning to think la sal too much.

I thought the same thing! 😆

I'm 6'1". I would have preferred a Large, but they only had an XL available for demo.

@@WoodsRydah thanks. I'm a hair shorter than you. Ordered a large, and was having 2nd thoughts.

It really is!

I can't speak to that because I have never ridden the Orbea occam.

True. Fun trail!

If you’re moving to Eastern Wa then this is a must ride. Western Wa has some of the best trails I’ve ever ridden.

@@WoodsRydah We are definitely looking at Western Wa. Tacoma or Bellingham, depending on the job market for me and my wife.

Thanks for the visit.

Thanks for the Sub. I haven’t really used the trainer since I built it. Initially it feels very different to trying a real manual. I will give it more time when I’m in the mood and see how it may help.

I’ve loved my Fezzari! I think it’s a great value and sturdy build with modern geo. Personally I’d have found a better name if I owned the company. It makes me think of a pizza place. 🤣

@@WoodsRydah Thats my thing too, will I actually use it or not? will it just sit there? I'm still debating, but it could be fun over the snowy winter here in Minnesota.

@@WoodsRydah Fezzari Authentic Pies and Bikes!

I am not sure to buy the spark or Genius because I like to jump but, i have to give Traibing fot XC

I have the Spark 960 2021. I'm very happy with it!

@@joaomatiasmtbrides I now ordered the Genius 930 and I will upgrade the shifting lever maybe after this season. I have to wait a full month that's sooo long I am so hyped

@@jcl2577 where do you order your bike?

XL frame size . I’m 6’1” and am between sizes.

I was visiting from out of town in November. I don't know what the trail conditions are currently.

I enjoyed the snappy, light feel of the Rascal until I hit the black diamond trails. Then I missed my La Sal. I want t short travel snappy bike up until the trail gets dicey. So I'm going to keep my LS too. It does everything very well. A second short travel playful bike would be fun to have in the quiver as well, (maybe the Following V3?), for those XC rides.

@@WoodsRydah The reviews looks pretty good on the Transition Spur. Might be good for gravity riders like us.

I contend this bike is capable on the same trials just a bit slower than the larger travel bikes. If speed on the rough stuff is your thing then get an enduro. If you cherish a light snappy feeling bike for most trails and want to still ride occasional enduro trails this bike is a good fit!

I had a lot of accidental shifts as my thumb just touched the shifter pad it was enough to cause a shift. Cable shifter takes more of an intentional shift to engage. I didn’t notice a performance improvement with the wireless, just cleaner and a cool factor. I’m not going to spend the extra money on it yet.
