Christina Chappetta and Friends Ride the Snowmass Bike Park | First Impressions

[@pinkbike]

Many thanks to Snowmass Bike Park for hosting me last summer! Miss those gorgeous views. And a huge thank you to Braydon for getting those shots for us and filling me in on the trails. Whit and Steve...stay classy! -Christina

tha heck is this quality?

[@suddenumbra117]

Snowmass is my favorite bikepark in Colorado! I'm actually going to be working there this summer. Super stoked!

[@GradeVisuals]

about 10 years ago little me and my parents travelled through the united states, stopping at snowmass. That was the first time I rented a downhill bike and fell in love with mountainbiking. Seeing this video brought back so many memories. Thank you!

[@paulb5390]

Man Steves a total shredder. Didn't notice his prosthetic until the end of the vid.

[@pinkbike]

The dude rips!! One of the more fun riders to follow for sure -Christina

[@johnsanchez2589]

I was there the same day and saw all 3 of them at the base. They walked right by my crew and when I mentioned Christina’s name I think she heard me. It was also our first time there and rode most of the same trails, albeit a tad slower then her crew. Awesome day of riding!!!!

[@pinkbike]

Small, little world our bike bubble! It was indeed a great day -Christina

[@micheandmikey]

Awesome looking place!!! Thanks Chappetta!

[@aspensnowmass]

Loooking Goooooooodddddd!!!!! Hope to see you again this year!

[@joppek77]

Not gonna lie: I was clenching pretty much the whole time just watching you guys fly down that mountain. :-D

[@pinkbike]

Uncomfortably fast at most times following Whit and Steve -Christina

[@sapinva]

Had to check to see if I was playing it at 1.5x.

[@seanroberts381]

That bit at 5:00 was out of control.

[@323johnnybravo]

I Just moved out to grand junction and I didn’t even know snowmass had a bike park. Looks awesome!!!

[@RoninHaz]

Okay, THAT looks fun

[@rickkoehler3796]

Christina rocks.

[@wil3dexpert007]

i dont know why but the quality of the footage is pretty bad somehow. the trail looks awesome tho

[@Laquoquious]

Let’s gooo I love snowmass park

[@152killa]

More of this!!!

[@snat6299]

Excellent riding!

[@williamsweet7511]

looks super fun

[@mbshick]

Need to get up there and try this out. Some of it looks manageable for my old bones and my downcountry bike.

[@redoctober1947]

I've ridden everything there on a 120mm 429, get after it!

[@mbshick]

@@redoctober1947 I just got a Specialized Epic Evo Pro a little over a week ago (replacing a 6 y.o. Breezer Supercell.) Need a while longer to get comfortable on it, but would love to hit some nice single track this summer.

[@pedallinwithparedes]

@9:55.... What wooden structure is that?

[@bradholmes4]

Like i tried to say a few years ago on one of Christina's videos Colorado is changing a lot and has changed a lot since she left!

[@pinkbike]

Always keen to get back and check out the latest, along with the big classics -Christina

[@bradholmes4]

@@pinkbike absolutely and we appreciate that! i think you were trying to make a point in so many words. Colorado has so many regulations when it comes to trail building and in the recent past a lot of these regulations have catered to xc trails. However the USFS have been slightly more lenient on what is acceptable ans safe for public use and i think if we get some more exposure to what is possible with mtb, we can help Colorado and America as a whole to become more accepting towards more modern dh riding and put us back on the map for racing and recreational use trails that cater more toward what the modern mtb rider wants to see. I work for a pretty major company in the resort business and Ive seen first hand how they destroy the mtb scene and i don't think that is right. If given the opportunity i would like to change that because i think that mtb is a huge part of the future for resort operations here in America and i would love to be a part of that change! Thanks again Christina for making a great video! maybe sometime in the future we can talk more about what is like living in these communities because i feel like Colorado and BC have a lot in common when it comes to cost of living and a lot of other struggles for the average person has to deal with moving to these areas. Maybe we can be part of a change, but as i said, I appreciate the exposure because all though we see a lot of traffic in the winter we could use some more traffic in the summer. Not only the resorts, but our local business owners also see a huge decline in revue when the summers comes around so we all really appreciate it!

[@Laquoquious]

I’m surprised that Gonzo trail wasn’t on here!

[@Twowheeledchaos]

Best jump run in the state

[@pinkbike]

It was hard to fit every single lap in but we got some sweet snaps of Braydon on Gonzo -Christina

[@Twowheeledchaos]

@@pinkbike it goes Banzai is th crowd pleaser tho

[@ctsingletrack]

Gaddam that was fast!

[@jacobpidcock8906]

Is it enough park for a proper Dh bike?

[@123rickdicky]

Nope

[@taylorklein2378]

Shhhh, don't tell everyone! This place sucks!!!

[@suddenumbra117]

Yes Trestle bike park in winter park is better 😉

[@mrvwbug4423]

@@suddenumbra117 Well Trestle is way closer to Denver

[@suddenumbra117]

@@mrvwbug4423 yep therefore all the Denver jerries and Joey's will go to winter park and not Snowmass. Trestle on Saturdays and Sundays is not fun.

[@Laquoquious]

@@suddenumbra117 I agree. It’s the same for skiing too. The farther you get from Denver, the less tourists there are 😂

[@Rustystrombolli]

Haulin 🏀⚽️’s

[@joshtp1234]

Gotta love snowmass dust lol

[@majomajky]

quality is no good. you have slow sd card (pixelization and jpg compression) or very old version camera ;-)

[@ricardolongo5947]

Da hora

[@nikolaitownsend1239]

What bikes are you guys riding? Great video! Glad to see you have fun!

[@pinkbike]

I was on my Trek Slash, pretty spot on for travel I'd say -Christina

[@hobmarg]

wtf the resort allows hikers on DH trails in a commercial bike park? That's a huge safety hazard, why not build dedicated hiking trails like Whistler?

[@natepittenger7084]

No I don’t think she was correct on that from what I’ve seen there. Maybe she just saw where some of the multi-use trails cross the DH trails.

[@Twowheeledchaos]

Didn’t even ride the best trails LOL

[@ls66]

The only thing bad about this video is that we only get to see you're face for a few seconds. Otherwise those trails look great.

[@pinkbike]

The fun in these POV videos hahah lots of yelling and no face chat -Christina
