Glad you found Hickory Mtn Loop in great shape. The Friends of Dupont Forest trail volunteers put a ton of effort into that trail this summer.

[@kfivemtb]

They do great work for sure!!😃

[@HUSHHUSH-]

Omg amazing to see you two back together on the trails . That Subaru is a dream 😴. Great ride guys 😁😁😁 loving the hype

[@kfivemtb]

Yeah juicy! Thanks so much for checking in! Hope all is well in whales!! Looks like you have been getting some nice rides in yourself 🤘🏻🤘🏻💯

[@borgshizzle9375]

Great video! You guys are riding nice uncrowded trails at the perfect time of year. Sooo jealous 😂 and Kate's new wheels get the Batman seal of approval - seriously decked out 👍 Looking forward to your next!

[@kfivemtb]

Thanks shizzle , if Batman wanted a 4x4 he’d probably get the same car! 🦇

[@BluecollarBackcountry]

Man, you two are stylin in Kate's new Subaru. Those trails look so fun. Nice ride Y'all

[@kfivemtb]

So nice to here from you. I’ve been liking your bike pics on Instagram!☮️

[@zxtenn]

I live 3 hours from there and try to hit it a few times a year. Just to let you both know there is a Red Roof Inn in Hendersonville which is only 15 miles from there, price is great and the best part is they're 'bike friendly' so you can bring in your 7 grand a piece bikes in the room with you so no need to worry about having attached to the back on your vehicle. I sold my 2019 Instinct BC maybe 8 months ago and thinking of either a 2021 Yeti SB-115 or a 2021 RM Instinct carbon 90, i can get serious prices on both, at age 66 probably the last trail/FS bike i will buy. I was at Dupont a few years ago and saw 2 cubs and then the 'Momma so i did a QUICK 180 and rode 20 mins then came back down. I have been up to Isaac, etc. a few times, very scenic, i have those signs posted to my FB page, Tarkiln branch, etc. too

Those papayas look fantastic!

[@mydestinationtraining7905]

Where do I park for this trail?

[@devinB1917]

I’ve rode here! Fun place

[@kfivemtb]

Thanks for checking out the video. Nice meeting you! 🤘🏻

[@uriahchessor9989]

Gosh I need to get out of FL so bad!

[@kfivemtb]

😀 florida trails are great! But nothing beats trees and elevation 🤘🏻

[@sams.mk8]

Same for me, I’m on my way to NC right now!

[@princepage632]

hey k five, awesome vid. i bike in north carolina all the time. i just got back from tasali. i like brayson city nc. been trying to get up to brevard. i have talked with you before on here. you said ya'll get up there only about 2 times a year. i mean ya'll post vids from there more than that. but that's what it's about. i am riding a trek rosco7, it's a fun ride . stricly trail bike. runn'in fat tires. its awesome. now a question, how does dupont compare to tasali? pisga is up there to. i like the trails ya'll ride. i am a good rider, i just don't like way over the edge tech'y stuff. i can do tech , but i like flow and mid tech kind of rides. how is the town of brevard? you are way lucky to be rid'in with a pretty chic as your rid'in partner. good luck and stay safe. keep on keep'in on!!!1

[@kfivemtb]

Hey prince! Pisgah is gnarly! But from what you are saying. You would love all of Dupont. Also check out bent creek! We really like Bryson city. Cool town also like fire mountain! Thanks for watching the video!💯. Yea I am lucky to be riding with a pretty chic🤘🏻

[@princepage632]

@@kfivemtb awesome dude. ahe can ride too. i really like ya'lls vids. i herd pisah was gnarly too. i want to ride some trail called cedar rocks in dupont. i rode a lot of slick rock when worked in utah a years back. i rode the famous slickrock trail. but thats way out there, and i really like north carolina. i live in mid ga, so i am not far from brevard or cherokee nc. i just got back from tasali a month ago. keep on keep;in on. and be safe.

[@tegucigalpa2]

Awesome downhill ride, seemed very long! Did you guys actually ride uphill to get up there?

[@kfivemtb]

We sure did! 😜.the climbs at DuPont are not to bad.

[@kellyriffle4750]

I always go down Hooker Creek to Ridgeline, up to Hickory, and then down a Ridgeline.

[@kfivemtb]

So much 🤩

[@mydestinationtraining7905]

What type of camera are you using? I am a roadie that is switched to MTB because of getting hit on the road from hillbilly drivers

[@kfivemtb]

Get off the road!!!

[@lesgoff]

I understand that Dupont has a no e-bike policy. Does this include top line mtb ebikes like the trek rail and/or Specialized Levo

[@kfivemtb]

Yes it does

[@lesgoff]

@@kfivemtb sad, but understand and will respect. Guess its' Kanuga for me... lol

[@kfivemtb]

@@lesgoff nothing wrong with that!!! Kanuga is fun!

[@garyharmon5386]

Great riding

[@kfivemtb]

❤️

[@King_Zer1]

Great content. May i suggest one thing... maybe blur out the license plate info so no one can be a deviant and get your personal information.

[@kfivemtb]

Hopefully you’re not a deviant 😜 thanks so much hopefully be making some new videos soon.

[@King_Zer1]

@@kfivemtb Only a deviant for the ladies 😅😜. Looking forward to the new content, it's great seeing someone getting FL mtb on the map!

[@mydestinationtraining7905]

IS THERE CELL PHONE RECEPTION ON THE TRAIL

[@thebeardedman-drenaline5546]

Wait....did I just see you yesterday at Dupont with a couple guys from WV? I was headed toward laurel about to cross slippy creek..... Just watched video🔥 do they make papaya shorts for guys??😂

[@kfivemtb]

Not yesterday but I was there for last week for 10 days 😃. I say no on the papaya shorts for dudes!!!!😜😜😜

[@mydestinationtraining7905]

I live stream races

[@kfivemtb]

Park at lake imaging parking lot, in DuPont state Forest, GoPro or DJI are good cameras ,

[@JBOM-qp8nq]

You follow way to closely bro…. If she were to crash you’d make it worse by hitting her, not to mention you seem shakier than she does. Seems like you might run into her, taking you both out.

[@kfivemtb]

We like to live on the edge!! 😜
