Can my trail bike handle all this GNAR?!! Windrock Bike Park

My buddy Bill and I are at the one and only Windrock Bike Park in Oliver Springs, TN! This is a place I've been wanting to ride for a long time and it did not disappoint. We lucked out on a sunny day in early February of 2023. So this actually a year ago before Aaron Gwin bought the place.
I'm ridin' my Salsa Rustler which has 130mm of travel in the rear 150mm up front with 27.5 wheels. Not exactly the bike you'd want here but it handled it like a champ. I'd really like to go back now that I have a 160mm travel mullet now. Hoping to make that happen soon and to see what's new at the park.
Although this place is steep and fast there's trail for most skill levels. The steepness and speed takes a little getting used to but if you've never been there and are nervous that you can't handle it because you've heard it's super gnarly it's not that crazy, just take things slow. With that being said if you're a true beginner don't go here haha.

I rode there on my Schwinn Axum back in '22. Hit Talladega, Drop Out, Reach Around & Cave Boy/Cave Man.

Awesome riding! I knocked Windrock of my list this year, but Marquette is my summer spot. I noticed you cleaned bertha too nice job! that trail is a beast. Shred the gnarr

[@ridindirt]

Thanks! I had a bunch of fun at Marquette. Really want to get back there. And yeah Bertha is a beast. Those drops are no joke!

[@Dialed1]

Way to shred that beautiful Rustler. That bike has stood up to some serious gnar! Gotta get my ass out to Windrock. Looks pretty damn unhinged out there!🎉

[@ridindirt]

Windrock is a wild place!! I Definitely needed a couple trips to not feel like such a sketch. lol

[@ridindirt]

Wild for sure! Loved everything about it! 🤙🏻

[@ryanjamesupham]

Holler at me next time you plan on going, pathfinder field trip!?!? lol

[@BlazingTonic2009]

Surprised you didn't bring the Status.

[@ridindirt]

This was before I had the status. Definitely would’ve been a bit better though haha

[@miamidademtb1357]

How beat up was your bike after the trip? Ive been thinking about going with my Propain Hugene

[@ridindirt]

I’ve put that bike through hell for years so no more beat up than usual lol. You’ll be fine on that. Pretty much the same travel as mine but with bigger wheels. Just be careful in the rocky stuff 🤙🏻

[@Bradley.Sides09]

What gopro settings do you use?

[@ridindirt]

4K 30fps. Color flat with sharpness low and I color grade in editing. I forgot on the other ones exactly but I’ll tweak the iso and ev comp depending on light. 5500k white balance usually though. Does it look good or think it could improve?
