Bike Park Day | Horseshoe Valley Bike Park

Headed up to Barrie, On to Horseshoe Valley Resort for some lift access biking action. Beauty day for some laps!!

I hope they continue to make more jump oriented trails at horseshoe and really go after it since they get all the downhill mtb traffic in Ontario. or maybe a skills park section with a foam pit/air bag. They could really have something there in the summer time.

nice vid, but you gotta do something about that squeak lol have you been to blue mountain? i think thats the best in ON and its a bit bigger

[@user-vn9js9yn1j]

How much are your bike? What is the usual price for a beginner's bicycle who just started mountain biking? Would u recommend me one?

[@Chewwsky]

Hey! Recommending a specific bike is something I really can’t do. Everyone has their own preference, budget, and experience level. If you’re just looking to get into the sport a hard tail is your best bang for your buck. If you can swing it a full-suspension bike is even better. In my opinion the more money you can invest into a good starting bike the better your initial experience will be. Bikes arnt cheap but buying a proper one is worth it. Beyond that, if you’re just planning to do trail riding like the hydrocut keep the suspension travel to 160mm and lower. 130-140 is still overkill but a good sweet spot

@@Chewwsky thank u can I know how much is your bike? How much would it roughly cost to get a proper double suspension bike for an entry level ?

[@Chewwsky]

@@user-vn9js9yn1j my bike was around $5000. Depends on new or used and the fact that the bike market is so hot right now: Used: minimum $2000 New: minimum $3500 Again, I’m no expert. This is just my opinion based on what I’ve seen

[@patrickbarrett5790]

That is a decent looking trail system! DAAAMN. I might have to make the drive to Barrie this summer...

Omg lol I was in this video at 7:07 I appeared in a blue shirt shocked the hell out of me

[@Chewwsky]

Sending it!!

[@RogueAnimal-ib2oc]

Sick video dude, I just got a quick question. Do you think Horse shoe valley is hard enough to were a neck brace? or would you be fine with just a full face and knee pads and that kind of stuff?

[@Chewwsky]

Thank you. And to answer your question I think that totally comes down to personal preference. There is a risk of serious injury on even the most mellow trails. As we all know the easiest trails are usually the ones that take us down LOL. I personally do not use a neck brace but you definitely would not be out of place with one there. People even ride with open face helmets there which I definitely don’t recommend.

@@Chewwsky thanks for the advice👍

[@callummorrow1776]

Hey bud, do you have any footage of Blue Mt?

[@Chewwsky]

I don’t because they were closed last season!

[@Chewwsky]

Also, blue will no longer be running a bike park so don’t watch any videos unless you want to torture yourself.

@@Chewwsky i noticed the sticker on your windshield, are you part of a local service?

@@callummorrow1776 I am yes!

[@matthewdafoe3272]

Do you think the terrain is fine for a hardtail? This is my nearest park and idk if I want to invest in a full suspension if it’s not needed.

[@Chewwsky]

Oh absolutely! LOTS of people are riding hardtails here! You’ll have a blast 💥
