I still have the pump and it still works great. I’ve gotten a couple others over the years that were included with a bike or shock I bought, so this one hasn’t seen as much use as of late. But still a solid pump.

Do it!! I don’t think you will be disappointed! Since this video, the work and improvements have continued out at the Hulk. Lots of new stuff!

Thanks so much Wade!

There r definitely some out there! But u will b hard pressed to ever see one. They r so elusive! The waterway is a little bigger water than I would expect them to hang out in regularly. But there r a ton of little drainage canals and what not that I’m sure r home to some gators! (Also, related sorta, the Alligator Adventure Park is just down the road. U can pay for a tour to see all kinds of reptiles!)

It is pretty much an XC course, however, there r a lot of extra jumps and gaps built in for the rowdy crowd! Some drops, jumps, berms, it’s a good time!

@@HardTailHero Thanks!

🙏🙏 Oh man! Yea, u will definitely have to get some laps in out there!! There r a ton of cool people that ride their regularly too u might bump into as well!

@@HardTailHero that sounds awesome. My bike is there finally and getting my gear all together, it’s a hardtail too! It would be cool to find some riders to ride with.

That’s great Rick! I know u will enjoy it and find some awesome folks!

Ooo I may have to try and figure that out! Love me some jumps!

i live very close to there check out biggins creek to that one is fun also

@jamiebaker3730 ooh I’ve spent a ton of time over the years in and around Santee lakes. Never knew there was a trail! Will definitely have to check it out!

I believe so. Tho, I don’t think close enough to bike to the park. But I may be wrong. Myrtle beach should definitely have some places to rent.

@@HardTailHero thank you

Well yes and no. It’s still got everything it had in 2018, however they have added a couple brand new loops with some really incredible features! (Skinnies, jumps, wooden berms, etc.) I actually have a video on the channel about it from last summer. There is even more new stuff since that video, but it will give u an idea of what to expect. Hope u make it out there! It’s totally worth a trip!

That’s awesome! Yea I still have mine running strong! It’s been such a great bike!

Man it has really turned out to have been a great investment! Still running strong! 💪

Yessir! Had this one for about 4 years now and it’s still ripping! Love it!

Yea for sure. The map apps(mtb project, trailforks, etc.) r still pretty behind on the current layout. Do u use the Strava app? U might b able to find where the new stuff is through other peoples rides. For the new loop, I have been parking up in the field and starting there. Once u go back into the woods, u will come to a trail split after about half a mile. The new loop starts there to the left. It will loop u back over to the other side of the field. Hope this helps!

@@HardTailHero I gonna try to go tomorrow, hopefully will find it

Yeah, went on Saturday and missed out on some fun new features because I couldn't figure out how to get to them lol.

@@chasecreechproduction6914 Yea for how much work they have put into the trail the markings and signs are pitiful

This pump sucks for me too , can’t fill my drop seat post for the life of it

For sure! Every time I go I think, “oh I’ll b good this time”...but nope! 😂 Lung buster, no doubt. Stoked u enjoyed it! 🤘🤘

Nice! It’s a constantly changing gem! The crew down there works super hard. Stoked u guys enjoyed it!!

Hey thanks!! 🙏🙏🙏 Happy to do it! Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much!! Oh u won’t b disappointed! The speed is insane!

Thanks Bryan! Always glad to help! Yea man they have still been perfecting and reworking the new stuff at browns, definitely worth another trip!! I need to do the same myself. Maybe I’ll see u out there!

Send-err to the mooooon!! 🤘🤘

Wow thank u so much! 🙏🙏🙏 I really enjoy it! Hopefully my editing skills improve with my riding. 😬 😂 Thanks for watching!!

That’s awesome Jason! I’m stoked u had such a good experience. The folks down there really r welcoming and hard working! Every time I visit, the trail improves. Thanks for watching!

Thanks duder! Need to get a group trip video some time!

Thanks brotha! Still need to make it out ur way for some of the real stuff!!

HardTail Hero same to your neck of the woods man!

I know lol I definitely betrayed my name sake on this one! Don’t worry tho, the hard tail still gets its time in the sun!!

Thanks so much! I live in Wilmington as well, so I typically get out to blue clay and BNP a little more regularly but browns is the real deal! Little over an hour drive but we’ll worth the day trip! Let me know and I’ll try to meet u out there

Yes I believe it should. Any shock with a Schrader valve should work fine.

That’s rad Robert! I can definitely say that the slightly skinnier tires make this thing a lot more agile! And the dropper is a must for sure! Thanks for the feedback man! And thanks for watching!

I totally agree daniel! Got the chance to go out there back in the fall and man I was impressed! I need to make it back down and check out the new improvements.

Coming in late here (like 3 years late) but is this skills park still open? Google Maps seems to not think so. Says “temporarily closed”

@smvogel73 there’s a skills park not far from the Hulk called “Lil Hulk”. It’s close to the water front. It recently got a full revamp with all sorts of new features! Great place for beginners and kids. Not a lot of mileage tho. The big Hulk will have lots and lots of features but not really a dedicated skills area. I might recommend warming up at the skills park, then cruising over to big Hulk for some laps! Hope you end up bringing the steed and getting some cranks in!

You can also usually get the trail status on the Facebook page “friends of the hulk bike & run park”

Depending on how “used” it is, I would say that’s not far off. I can attest to it’s quality and longevity, if taken care of properly of course. Main points would b to look at the forks (still move freely, no weird noises), next the drive train (make sure it shifts thru all the gears smoothly), make sure the wheels r mostly straight when u spin them (no large wobbles). Definitely try to ride it around just enough to make sure it fits and is ridable. Everything else can b easily fixed or replaced for not much money, given it’s working enough to ride (I.e. handlebars, pedals, cranks all in one piece). I hope this helped! Sorry for the lengthy response. Thanks for watching!

Thanks a lot! 🙏🙏

Im thinking about being a part of the team that keeps the HULK rideable...im free Saturday and Sunday mornings...

Definitely do it if u can! Great group of folks. And they work super hard making that place fresh and shredable!

Double black dimond

ben folz really

Yeah he rode it like my grandmother does

Any level rider can ride the hulk for sure. The park is designed to have opportunities to improve ur skills. Pretty much all the features have easy ride arounds.

My kids ages 8 and 10 rode it just fine and one was Ben on a bmx bike

Nice! Man ur in for a treat! They r constantly working on it as well, so b on the lookout for new features! Thanks for watching Stephen!

On this day, we parked at Guion parking lot (near the top) and just took Hickory Mountain Road pretty much right to the start of the trail. The climb back to the lot isn’t as much fun, but hopping straight out of the car and smashing down Ridgeline is the dream!

They r actually carpets believe it or not!! The soil there by the beach is extremely sandy. So they form their shape for a berm or jump out of sand and dirt, pack it down really really well. Then cover it permanently with carpets. It’s kinda like Astor turf. I was skeptical the first time, but trust me they can hold some traction!!

🙌🙌🙌

Oh man! U r headed for some fun my dude!! Enjoy!! Maybe I’ll see u out there next time I make it down.

@@HardTailHero update:i'm going tomorrow, so if you're there on saturday, idk, also, it's a maybe i'm going

Next time I’m in MB we should ride. My mom lives 10 min from there.
