I was about to say the same thing. The guy's obviously a pretty good rider, but still knows when something's above his level for that given day.

Ain't that the truth.

Thanks! It really is a gift to have this so close to home.

I'm guessing he's using Minstrel's

Mix of minstrels and zerker.

Hey Im Hawkeye hey it’s Khantent alright?

Hey Im Hawkeye now you’re on to something

Khogantent it is from now on.

Our group were all on full squish, but there were people at the park rocking hard tails. There are plenty of trails that a hard tail would have no problems with, so if thats what you're worried about, then you really don't have to anymore. Going there with a hard tail would still be a blast.

@@ofcsu1 ok thanks me and my friend both ride hardtails and i suggested we go there someday

@@notyouraveragerider5146 looking at your videos, you live pretty close to me. You should try riding at Evansburg State Park if you haven't yet. If you can handle all the trails there, then you can take on all the green and half of the blue trails at Mountain Creek.

@@ofcsu1 thats so funny i was planning to go today at around 1 or 2 and stay there a couple of hours also last sunday i rode spring mountain and it was a blast

@@ofcsu1 i just got back from evansburg it was really fun

There are bike specific trails that you need to ride. All in all, I'd say its a good 6 miles of trail to explore, but that includes a lot of up and backs down the different branches.

@@ofcsu1 Is there a map of the park that shows which trails bikes can be ridden on?

@@BornN2Grave1 www.trailforks.com/region/evansburg-state-park-16737. Park and go in here www.trailforks.com/poi/22762/

You can either park at 1 of the 2 parking lots on Bells Mills road, or park at Valley Green Inn. Both are equally viable but I tend to park at bell's mills when i plan on doing a full loop

this section is probably easiest to get to from Pachella field (at the top, off Henry ave). At first split you go right. It will be flow trail down to the bottom and there you cross the bridge then make your way up. Next real downhill section will be the downhill shown at the end of the clip.

Its absolutely worth it.

2018 Giant trance 29 2

Its a 2019 Giant Trance 29er 2, and yes you can just walk in. There is no lift access anymore, so you will have to hike or peddle up the fire road to the top.

Was definitely a blast.

I just dont carry at all while riding. There is no really good solution, and the risks and cons far outweigh the pros in my opinion. At least while MTBing. If you are cruising on a paved trail or doing a roadie, then its a bit more feasible.

You'll be fine with a hardtail. The trails, outside of a few select sections, arent that rocky. A lot of the shake in this video is from me mounting the gopro wrong. You will be in the saddle with no problem for 90% of the climbing. Only a few sections require you to get out of the saddle on the climbs.

@@ofcsu1 Thanks for the info. I just got a new hero 7 black. I think it is getting me back into riding again.

@@phatdonkey78 The 7 black is great. It is so much more fun being able to go back and watch your footage. You can relive the ride, and see where to improve.

Spring mountain is has more features and has a lot more tech sections, its also pretty easy to navigate since it was a bike park before. Evansburg is a lot more single track and is way more confusing. A lot of different loops and a few up and backs. If you have the stamina to keep making the climb, i would say spring mountain. If you dont know if you got it in you to climb the mountain a couple times, then evansburg is your better bet.

The bike park itself has been shut down for a few years, so there are no lifts or shuttles. You'll have to make the climb manually. Most of the features have held up really well and are still very rideable. Its not going to be like mountain creek, but its still worth checking it out at least once.

@@ofcsu1 Yeah, I just watched a vid from 6 years ago and man that place looked pretty rad! The wood was all brand new. Things go to shit quick. Did you ever find the blue trails? I see some on TForks (Area 51, Goat Hill, Lower Loop and Backside down). Don't know if you've seen this but: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6K5npuCmZx-r8k

@@FlowFinderUSA I've been back a few times since then and have ridden pretty much all the trails that are still rideable. I'd say there are only about 5 little sections that are overgrown, so most of the trails are still great. The climb sucks balls, but i still love the place. Hoepfully the owners open up the park again sometime soon.

@@ofcsu1 Have you hit all the features that you went around on this vid? Tell me which trails are still rideable? Be great not to waste time trying to find everything. I actually may be able to get the woman to be our shuttle this Saturday so the I can miss the "sucking balls" part. XD

@@FlowFinderUSA they have the fire roads blocked off to prevent anyone shuttling up unfortunately. As far as the features, i think I've hit about half of the ones that are on the mountain. There is a HUGE drop that i havent hit, and probably wont. It looks to be sturdy still, but i am nowhere near ready for such a high risk drop. There is an awesome technical section with huge boulders all linked together with wooden bridges that is in perfect shape. I would say all the trails except for parts of Walt's Erector Set are rideable.

You know that long climb just after you turn right @8:20? You go all the way up to the top where it splits and you can either go straight or turn right and climb some more. The 2 trails run parallel for a bit before meeting back up? It cuts through there and goes all the way back down to forbidden drive. If you do it, then you have to make that long climb again, but its worth it.

@@ofcsu1 Oh perfect. I know exactly where that is. I'll definitely try that out next time I'm there. Thanks!

Saturday will be interesting there with all this rain. Let me know if you still plan on going.

The more you go to Wiss, the more hidden lines you find. Place really is a gold mine.

I've been trying to reply to this since yesterday. Lets see if number 5 is the one that goes through. I currently ride a full suspension Giant Trance 29er, but for your first trail bike, I would recommend a hardtail. Simply because it will help you get a better feel for your bike and the features on the trail (since you have no rear suspension to soak anything up), and you will be able to get more bike for the same price. Since there is no rear suspension to take up cost, any money spent on a hardtail can be focused on things like better components and a better fork. What part of PA are you from?

That name is the strava segment. Im pretty sure it's part of the red blaze trail on trailforks. Have you been to evensburg before?

Sounds good to me man.

It is a hero 7 black. The video is actually a lot more jumpy than normal do to the way a mounted the camera. Didn't have it screwed down enough. And sure, I'll sub you.

Still looks smooth to me though.👍 Thanks I’ve subbed to you

Thanks for the compliment, but I am still very beginner. Only started this past June, so I have a lot of room to improve. Here at the Wiss is probably the best spot within about an hour. There are some good spots about an hour out of the city like, Brandywine, French creek, Nockamixon, and White Clay.

Thanks bud. This is my main build gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNAneRnMdAVhgdhAOeAElilqADpA0ACAK9gYXO4d0mantA-TlCEABdoNAgDBA87Pwi6PNp8DQlgtpDAiHAwDnAgJOCABAQA4m38m38m3sUAZuzC-w

Thanks for sharing man! Can't wait to try it out. Keep up the good work.

great vid btw

Its a variation of a typical power well build. The specifics are guild sensitive though. Pretty much any power well build can be played the same.
