Don't miss the Confluence Trail in Auburn, Ca

[@CaliradoKid]

...and just like that Robert made one of the greatest Confluence vids in history. Well done man!

[@B1KER]

Nothing compares to how well you did Hoot! Glad ya liked it man.

[@CaliradoKid]

@@B1KER Man. Love that vid. It's funny looking at it again. 6,000 whole views. LOL. Sooo much work.

[@davidhollinger6171]

@@CaliradoKid The Hoot video is epic. Has to be one of the best produced yet underrated videos on the Tube. I appreciate the effort!

[@CaliradoKid]

@@davidhollinger6171 thanks David! Yea it’s not hard to see why I transitioned to short form content when you see a really well produced video like that gets basically NO views. But I’m determined to make a return to KZbin soon. So stay tuned!

5:38 Yup that was me a couple weeks ago. First time on the trail in 20 years and enjoying a new bike. Took the low line and got tossed off. End up 30' down the cliff before I stopped. Fortunately my head was able to break the bikes fall from making it further down. Lots of matted grass everywhere down there so I knew I wasn't alone in making that mistake!

[@B1KER]

I clipped it once and had a close call. Sorry to hear that happened to you. Glad you're ok! Lately I've been taking the high line again.

[@MotoProspector-pv6wf]

Yeah but you know what they say if you're not flying off the side of the mountain you're not going fast enough.

[@kirks7140]

Love your style of story making with excellent filming, dialog, and editing. Very engaging. bikes rock

[@B1KER]

Much appreciated!

[@ChefIan73]

Right on! Digging your return to riding videos. Shred on 🤘🏽

[@B1KER]

Thanks man!

[@mesha1752]

Another awesome B1ker video!!! You’re having so much fun on this trail. I will have to stop by one day and check it out.

[@B1KER]

It's definitely a fun one. Lot's of good stuff in Auburn.

[@ShredQuest]

Love the trail feature tour format, which seems new to me. Killer video and photography and your form on the bikes looks great! More like this please! Awesome!

[@B1KER]

Thanks man! Stoked ya liked it.

[@Froff]

Mate, this is a really well edited video. Super engaging. If this goes viral though and ya get rich you can’t quit the podcast. We need it to get through those long drives to the trails. Keep killing it Robert.

[@B1KER]

The likelihood of anything I edit going viral is low. The podcast is safe. 😂😂😂

[@B1KER]

Glad ya liked it though!!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@vincecantar406]

Great video! Edging me closer to getting a mountain bike and getting out there. Keep it up.

[@B1KER]

Hahaha, don’t waste any more time!

[@TheSkymtb]

Good review. Definitely my favorite ride in the Sacramento area.

[@B1KER]

Right on!

[@davidhollinger6171]

Awesome video and great production! Looking forward to more on the ASRA.

[@B1KER]

Thanks!

[@trailstokemtb]

Nicely done, Robert! Some day we are gonna ride!

[@B1KER]

Sounds like a plan!

[@trailpimp6369]

That trail is sick dude. I rode with Straight Line MTB and his crew and we did an 11 mile loop in Auburn and It was fun. I want to try this one.

[@B1KER]

Ton's of good stuff up there. I'm planning on doing a similar style video on others up there

[@trailpimp6369]

@@B1KER 🔥🔥🤘🙌

[@brilog69]

Your home trail is really kool!!

[@B1KER]

Thanks man!

[@allydidier791]

Love this video format, Robert!! Also, that rock feature on the right, just after the step up and the ravine gap that's in the trees, I've wanted to try that upper line (4:27) but it's been a scary one to look at for me!

[@B1KER]

That upper line you mentioned rolls better than it looks. Just stay closer to the hill and not the trail.

[@federicofigueroa538]

this is a great video, well done... I really want to ride that place now

[@B1KER]

Right on! Lots of good stuff in Auburn.

[@Duckhead3000]

Old fav. See ya out there!

[@B1KER]

It's a fun one. After years of riding you just have to do some things to spruce it up.

[@Duckhead3000]

@@B1KER absolutely

[@Duckhead3000]

@@B1KER also, the exposure is a pucker factor of 8.5/10 for me, but i tell myself I'm a brave little boy

[@B1KER]

@@Duckhead3000 the only spot that gets me is that waterfall spot. When pinning it with my friends, they always pull away through there.

[@Duckhead3000]

@@B1KER yes dude that little thing terrifies me, i just hop and i even might close my eyes. No one do that, its bad form im just a bitch about it

[@lathamstylemtb]

Well done riding guide! 👍🏻

[@B1KER]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jimbomx502]

As ppl said, we’ll done vid. I actually tried the “No peddle challenge”. Think I tagged you on my IG. Only made it to the first tech uphill. (Counter intuitive-I was on an intense ebike lol) oh, I’ve encountered a momma bear and 2 cubs on confluence like 20yrs ago. Was all good. Cheers

[@B1KER]

It took a few times to get the little uphill's. At this point I haven't got all three on the same attempt. I'll get to the top and have to put in one or two pedals. I keep trying the no pedal from there just to practice the other spots. It's not something I do every time, but it's fun to switch it up sometimes.

[@Whitewater11]

Never tried the no pedal challenge but I do need to start riding out there more often, it's only about 30 minutes through the canyon

[@B1KER]

Right on!

[@burkebair]

Never tried the no brake challenge. I'll have to give it a go.

[@B1KER]

The three little uphills are really difficult. I haven’t got all three in the same run yet.

[@MtbEnduroLeonel]

I like this video greetings from Ecuador 💯🇪🇨🇪🇨

[@B1KER]

Thanks man!

[@JMVC]

Loved it, bud! 🤙🏽

[@B1KER]

Right on 🤘

[@ToddNZMTB]

Oh! I recognise this from a BKXC video 👍🏻

[@B1KER]

It’s a good one. I think Alexander or him fell off that rock I rolled over.

[@ToddNZMTB]

@@B1KER yep that's the one, it was Brian who fell off 😶

[@SubmarinersDive]

Dang Bears are a menace! 😅

[@B1KER]

LOL, I know right!

[@mikeo3589]

Where are you riding this weekend

[@B1KER]

I’m sure Tahoe somewhere. I’m pretty much a last minute decision every day.

[@Mrmojoman19]

I wonder why no one has a bell on their bike. I’ve had other bikers and hikers thank me for having a bell letting them know to GTF outtta the way since bikers can’t stop that fast.

[@B1KER]

I see where you are coming from

[@eddiemoney4482]

Yo bro .. do you know the exact address ?

[@B1KER]

Unfortunately Confluence is closed because of some erosion from last winter. However there is still a lot of good riding in Auburn. Here’s where you can park: maps.app.goo.gl/dtUreCFMZX4rYWz96?g_st=ic
