@ what’s your username?

it’s under, JTBikeAdventures.

😀 I knew it would have been a matter of time before someone would have said that was them. 😄. Thanks Christian! It’s a nice forest. Unfortunately I was riding shitty. Wish I could have captured a better story of that day. Can’t wait to ride the area next year.

I definitely want to visit this place again next year. it was fun!

Hey, thanks. There are plenty of green trails at any of the locations in my other videos. With my kids, I usually ride Larkins and Scoville often. There’s a trail that provides more miles on a green trail, and that is the Naugatuck State Forest. Over at the Oxford Reservoir section, there is a route where you can gain some good speed. It’s double track. The area is very beautiful too. I’ll put two links below: one for Trailforks and the other is my Naugatuck State Forest video. In that video, if you move it up to the timestamp 3:00, you can get an idea of how the trail looks and feels. Thanks for the subscribe! www.trailforks.com/map/?activitytype=1&z=11.4&lat=41.34383&lon=-73.17089&content=trails,labels,nst,region,poi,directory,polygon,eventpremium,waypoint,routes_featured kzbin.info/www/bejne/naK8l4qaqtmhj6c

It’s between Christian and hawley rd and the other one that was block off was Pope rd to strong town rd. Beyond that’ I’m not sure what else was blocked off since we stopped for pizza and turned around. I’ll placed my Strava link below so you can see where we detoured. strava.app.link/4bgH7ffBpOb

Thanks buddy....I actually seen it today

thanks!

definitely check out some of the videos people posted on Facebook. There is a lot that I missed. Can’t wait to go back. I subscribed to your channel a couple of weeks ago. I been meaning to check out your videos but been very busy.

@@JTBikeAdventures. thanks, man! I’ve been a fan of your videos for a while! Keep them coming!

Indeed, I strive to keep my videos 15 minutes and under. Although I have an extended version available, the data indicates that viewers are less interested in videos exceeding this duration.

In the future, I plan to include a Strava link so that people can easily view the route I took. Also, I might place extended cuts in my "Unlisted" Playlist. kzbin.info/aero/PLUWvIr1ndne35DiCZCvA7rfHYNMYfAG_f

@@JTBikeAdventures. Hey Josue, thanks for your reply, totally understand. I have been watching your videos since a moved to Wilton last month.

​@@tropo100 Thank you, @tropo100, for watching and subscribing! I’m hoping to create more content in late August in your area.

Hey! You can access these trails at the upper parking lot of Wilby High School, near the Tennis court. This is where everyone parks to access the trails. From here, you will see an entrance. Just be careful with the black bears. We have more this year than usual. 41.606785, -73.026258

Just make sure you ride with someone if you are just getting into MTB. I suggest you check out the Housatonic chapter of NEMBA in Oxford. they usually have group ride for beginners.check them out if Facebook.

Thank you! I have a buddy I go with:)

yea for the most part. if there are power line, there will be trails too. there’s quite a bit around. I type ride in and out from road to power then back to road.

I’ll let you know when I can this summer. I’ve been busy working and every time I have a day off, it always seems to rain. what kind of bike you riding?

Hello. sorry for the late reply. It’s a 2022 model.

They make some great frames ! I got my son a (2017) SISKU 6 29er hardtail . I personally think they are underrated but starting to see more and more . See you on the trail! 👍

I agree. polygon manufactures other brand bikes so these bikes come from the same factory as other brands. See you out on the trial..

@@JTBikeAdventures. You never said what model your riding ? I Researched probably 15 bikes for like a year the 2022 Polygon Collosus N9 but I think that was when they launched that new rear suspension link system so I was really on the fence lol. I wound up Getting (2022) Santa Cruz Nomad CC XO1 Coil Shock Rear Suspension 170mm travel . Absolutely love it .

it’s the Siskiu N7. I made a video two years ago on the specs. I did the same for a while. I was riding a hard tail for some time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5fRXmWYq9mAqLs

The handlebar width is 780. It has a 20mm rise and a 6-degree back sweep. I’ve been considering upgrading to carbon handlebar. Not sure which brand though. I'm looking into reducing some of the bike's weight where I can.

@@JTBikeAdventures. thanks, something else to consider.

@@JTBikeAdventures.Also, I’ll take those off of you if you don’t want them, I’m still riding the flat 800 that came on it.

I'll keep you in mind once I replace it. I've been considering getting the trail one Crockett carbon bar.

Thank you so much! I put my heart into making entertaining videos that also provide useful information for fellow adventurers. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and helps me improve my content. Let me know how you make out in this area. I like all of the tech here.

Thanks man! Yea it’s definitely more work but I’m happy with the result. It was even tougher with the computer issue that I was having. The edit software kept closing out or freezing on me so every time I went to edit everything was out of sync. The double track is not too bad in this forest. There’s a section where it’s just down hill. Thanks for checking out the video.

Thanks for the tip Cory. I'll look into the Rode Go II. This edit definitely took longer. What made it more difficult too was the technical difficulty I was having with my computer. Every time I was editing, the software kept on closing on me and everything I put together was out of sync. At the end of the video, the music was supposed to fade out at the last Logo, but it abruptly stopped. I didn't pick that up during the quality control, but it is what it is. Thanks for the feedback man. Greatly appreciate it!

Hey thanks! It takes a lot of time making edits this way. Especially sourcing music. I think I did 5 revisions before settling on this video. I have to invest on a better microphone too.

it’s a nice place for sure. I come here often to get a fitness ride. Another nice location is Larkin state bridle trail. It’s roughly 10miles. I recommend riding that one as well.

@@JTBikeAdventures. Nice, thanks for the tip.

Hey thanks. It’s a nice location. thanks for the subscribe!

It was a nice ride. I’m going to add some gravel content this year so that new riders can see it and hopefully go out and ride it. I have a few planned this year.

Thanks. I can’t wait to get out there and ride some more. I wish could get a weekend without rain and good temperatures.

Hey thanks. I had an extend cut with some of that feature but I cut a few clips to get the time down. it’s a great place. one of my favorite places to ride actually. they did a great jobs designing and utilizing the landscape very well.

I’ve seen some of your videos in the past. I would like to do a joint ride with you sometime in the future if you are up to it.

Hey thanks! It is a tough thing to be able to think and speak while riding. I try my best though. For the most part, I ride trails close to home. A lot of which are unsanctioned so I don’t record much of them. I typically ride the western and northern parts of Connecticut but with this recent KZbin channel I have been venturing off more to the eastern parts of Connecticut. Some of my typical spots are Torrington, Danbury, Thomaston, southbury, and surrounding area of Waterbury. Most of the time I’m in Waterbury or Naugatuck since it’s the closest and with two young boys I try to ride early mornings so that I can be with my kids. thanks for subscribing. I like your channel and how you are able to capture the trails and make it entertaining. I also like your review on some of the products.

@@JTBikeAdventures. Right on. I will keep those spots in mind the next time I am in the area. Thanks brotha!

Yea I agree. The rain was tough for me this summer. I’m a weekend warrior when it comes to mountain biking so it’s critical that it doesn’t rain. It seemed like the days that were nice I worked while the days I had off “on the weekend” was raining.

@@JTBikeAdventures. I just started riding again in May, separated my shoulder in June and barely got out before daylight savings ended. Sucks that it gets dark so early now!

Sorry to hear about your shoulder injury. Sounds like you lost out on the riding season. That suck! I'm hoping to get a few rides in before temperatures drop below 40 consistently. Typically, by the second week of January. After that I won't be out there until the beginning of May myself.

Hello. This is his father.

Hey thanks! I wish I was riding some of the trails from your video. It looks beautiful over there.

Hey thanks! It was a good time here. It’s a 1.5 hr drive to get here so I kept the ride short. Definitely want to explore more in this area in the future. There are a few things I didn’t get to hit.

Hey thanks! I feel like I am finally reaching an "inflection point" on my editing skills. Definitely will give you a tour. It nothing special. Just some old school moto trails with plenty of miles.

Thanks man!

Hey thanks! Can’t wait to make my next video with this new camera!

Yea, I would probably have gotten lost too. luckily Jason from MTBCT was able to guide me in this one ride. This place definitely has a large network of trails.
