Brian Head Bike Park: Every Trail from Double-Black to Green!

Brian Head bike park, pretty small but wild and rugged, has a wide range of trails from the gnarly Wildflower to the fast flowy Little Glitter to the easy Color Flow. I spent a day there hitting every trail in the park at least once.

Great video! Exactly the overview I was looking for since I haven't been here before. Keep the wheels rolling!

[@minerbiker]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

[@gerrygadget]

That's some brake meltin' hand crampin'' goodness right there. Woo!

[@minerbiker]

TRP brakes! The best IMO

[@ericthemidget9685]

Great video again. Watching other BH videos, I didn’t even know there was black trails.

[@minerbiker]

For being a small park, Brian Head has a good variety from green trails up to black and double-black

[@davidbahr8599]

Looks fun! Need to find an excuse to go to work at our plant in Cedar City for a couple days and bring my bike. 🤔

[@minerbiker]

Better get down there!

[@cellphonenut]

Minor biker excellent job on wildflower most of people I know that can clean all the jumps on Grissnder wildflower glitter what have you won’t even touch wildflower yet you seem to rock it with no problem interesting

[@minerbiker]

Thanks! Honestly I am better at riding rough tech than I am jumps. I have very limited opportunities to practice jumping, but I ride rough techy stuff all the time, and it shows when I go to bike parks

[@chameleonpogono]

This is a fun looking area! Wish I could go here. Great that you're able to travel around and ride the places you do. My wife would never let me do what you do. I've been in Utah for over 15 years and I've ridden in Moab once, Richfield once, and the St. George area twice. That is the extent of my riding in this state. Never even been to Zion.

[@minerbiker]

I am very fortunate to have the ability both with home and with work to get out and about as much as I do. Thankfully my wife likes to do it do (though not near as much as me) and I go too long without an adventure, she chases me out the door cause I'm starting to go crazy

[@mtb_alan]

Heading out there soon! Dang that looks some mad chunk! Scared and excited all the same time. Thanks for covering these trails. I'll be watching this vid as homework. 🤘🏾😆

[@minerbiker]

Sweet! Brian Head is awesome!

[@abstraddic0442]

!!! Geeperz !!! great trail and riding dude.

[@minerbiker]

Thanks!

[@andrewscasualmtb]

Your riding is awesome. Video is great showing all the trails. I could probably do the easy and intermediate lines, but I think both blacks are above my pay grade. Hahaha

[@minerbiker]

Thanks! Brian Head is rowdy for sure. Even the intermediate trails are rough and rocky!

[@MusicManMTB]

Oh man, so bummed I didn't get to check out wildflower when we went down there last week. Got rained out before we got a chance. Thanks for the look at all the trails. So much more I need to ride there!

[@minerbiker]

They've packed a lot into a small park!

[@Giftig--Daniel-P]

Dude you are amazing. Watching you fly down wildflower makes me wish I could keep control of the bike like that.

[@minerbiker]

There's a few spots on Wildflower where I'm definitely not completely in control ;-)

[@Giftig--Daniel-P]

@@minerbiker I believe it. I think I'd spend more time on my back than on the bike if I tried it

[@ridingdeep8530]

Damn, Little Gritty is much more gnarly now/in real life.

[@minerbiker]

Yeah I rode it earlier this summer and it was way more rutted out and rough than it was last year. Such a wild trails!

[@theendlesssea8520]

I love the way you did every trail in one video, makes it way easier to find out about the trails there, rather than having to look up multiple videos. I feel like you're the only one who did this, and your riding is pretty amazing. I have to ask, though, what's up with the name miner biker? Is there meaning to this, or is it just a cheesy spin off "Mountain biker" (No offense)

[@minerbiker]

Thanks! Glad you liked the video format. The "MinerBiker" comes from me being a mine engineer by profession. I work at an underground salt mine in central Utah. Then obviously I love biking too, hence Miner Biker

[@allenpiscitello]

For those looking for trails: Lil Gritty (BLK) 0:50 Wildflower (DBLK) 4:35 Timberline (BLK) 8:34 Grissender (BLU) 12:45 Tank's Track (BLK) 14:43 Z-Line Connector (BLK) 15:59 Little Glitter (BLU) 16:40 Malicious Woods (BLU) 21:39 Old Color Country (BLU) 22:20 Color Flow (GRN) 25:24 Did I miss any?

[@minerbiker]

I think you got them!

[@allenpiscitello]

@@minerbiker Appreciate this video! We'll be headed to BH soon and it's good to see what is within my ability range. The trail map shows a few others that weren't covered or maybe were included as part of your rides down.

[@minerbiker]

@@allenpiscitello There are a few other little short connectors and stuff that I didn't identify in the video. Also the new Timber Glitter trail that was not open yet when I was there last year. Super fun trail that's worth hitting! Have fun a BH!

[@allenpiscitello]

@@minerbiker I noticed Lil Gritty was marked as Single Black on the trail map, but you have it as Double Black, do you know why that might be? I saw someone else listed it as Double Black in a video too.

[@minerbiker]

@@allenpiscitello Trailforks shows it as a single black. But Brian Head has it signed as a double-black. I went with their official designation, not the Trailforks one

[@bakedvikings]

Good video boss. Thanks for showing me I don't wanna ride Brian head 😂. Tons of loose shale is not my cup of dew. Have you tried any of the north Utah resorts or even the free parks like the farm or fruitloops or draper

[@bakedvikings]

Or if I do go I'm getting the rental lift pass combo with a dh bike and Atleast 170mm travel

[@minerbiker]

I've hit most of the stuff up there, including Corner Canyon and Deer Valley. Defnitely a bit different than the rocky roughness of southern Utah. Thanks for watching!

[@coloradocamera]

Rough and raw DH

[@minerbiker]

That's Brian Head for you! Not a very big bike park but it is rocky and gnarly

[@jorgeguerrero6361]

Great videos...!i got my La Sal Peak this week and it is awsome, quick question how is the noise after all the cool rides you had put on her...?

[@minerbiker]

Congrats on getting a La Sal! Mine has over 2,000 miles of hard riding on this frame, and she's doing just fine so far.

[@liznicholson4757]

Would you bring a dual crown DH bike to Brian head? Or trail bike? Going for the first time at the end of the month and not sure which to bring.

[@minerbiker]

Personally think a trail bike is just fine at BH. The only trails that a DH bike would be nice to have on are Lil Gritty and Wildflower but even those a trail/enduro bike handles fine

[@307.William]

Those trails look quite harsh? Do you drop air pressure in your tires? Or how do you set things up to make the ride a little smoother?

[@minerbiker]

I usually up pressure for Brian Head to prevent flats from all the rock impacts. Suspension setup is key

[@307.William]

@@minerbiker how would recommend suspension set up? I ride a lot of back country that’s choppy because of horses and wild game.

[@minerbiker]

@@307.William I ride similar stuff like that as well. Usually I'll add a volume spacer or two front and rear to make it more progressive so I can run the pressure a bit lower, allowing for more initial small bump compliance while still ramping up for bigger hits. I don't run any high speed compression damping and very little low speed damping. And fairly fast rebound so it can keep up with lots of little chattery hits

[@307.William]

@@minerbiker thank you for the heads up. I only use a few clicks of HSC and no LSC to keep things active and control. I’ll back off a little and let er’ buck.

[@307.William]

@@minerbiker rode there today. You. Make it look easy. There is literally no dirt! It’s Soo washed out
