Crested Butte Singletrack 2024

Our for a rip with my Dad and the group of guys I grew up riding with. This is what riding background looks like. Exploring the mountains with a bunch of old school savages.
I took this as an opportunity to work on my speed on trails I haven't seen before. No, the video is not sped up.

Man, the way you trust that front tire is unbelievable. I would have washed out 50 times, tru pro!

[@sendit6011]

I want to know what front tire he’s running

[@ridesingles]

How lucky are we as dirtbike riders getting to ride trails like that with scenery that amazing. Absolutely hauling Max 👍

[@MaxGerston]

We are so lucky!

[@brendtoconnell6119]

Got to love the single track near Crested Butte and Taylor Park. It's been years since I've ridden those trails. Makes me wish I was younger too.

[@MaxGerston]

[@corbybergsma6860]

I have been on those trails two years in a row now. I cannot believe how MG is rippin that single on the pipe the whole time. Just have to remind myself that he is PRO level. Scenery cannot be beat.

[@MaxGerston]

Rock on brother thanks for watching.

[@armourbl]

Crested Butte is a must do trip if you love dirt bikes.

[@dont3761]

Cool riding, little log jump near the end was nice!

[@rgretchen]

[@MaxGerston]

It was soo good. Thanks for watching.

[@andygilliland]

Looks VERY similar to Pole Creek/West Lost Trail outside of Silverton

[@zachfarkash6430]

Awesome, I live in Colorado

[@zachfarkash6430]

Holy shit you were haling the mail buddy get some 🤘🤘

[@marshallgerston4809]

I didn't realize Max was filming this (besides the initial intro). I can't impress upon the viewers how rugged, steep, rocky and difficult this trail is. I'm glad I (and all my riding buddies) taught him these mad skills, LOL!

[@marshallgerston4809]

It is so easy to side out/high side in those trough/rutted little single tracks. I'm looking ahead but damn!

[@zachfarkash6430]

@@marshallgerston4809 All I can say is you guys taught Max extremely well. It's truly awesome to see him ripping in my backyard. Kind of my? Backyard. Born and raised in Colorado. It would be a dream come true if I give meat Max and you guys.

[@myalteregohamish]

So funny at 0:57 the guy was mid sentence and Max, half a second later is already ignition then immediate throttle at like 27mph. Those guys are never catching up. And again at 8:03, lolol. They’re still on their phones helmets off and Max is like “I’m just gonna go check this out down here”. 😂

[@marshallgerston4809]

Truth!

[@breeno59]

haha, I thought this was gonna be a calm sedate CO trail ride with some friends ... holy smokes, you were carrying the mail! Had to do a quick internet search and then it all made sense ;)

[@MaxGerston]

Haha calm and sedate 😂

[@zackdavis751]

Very similar trails to Washington state. Diggin it

[@MaxGerston]

I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for watching.

[@Jlow67WV]

I couldn't believe how tall the shrubbery was, and how many more wild flowers had bloomed out there this year. That was fast AF. I always worry about hitting someone head-on.....and I go half that speed, 😂😂.

[@MaxGerston]

Super tall! Thanks for watching.

[@jm6918]

OMG that drop at 42:32 👀

[@stevenbarber925]

Holy Frijoles Batman, you are hauling ass. Great video, love that area!

[@MaxGerston]

Thanks for watching brotha!

[@gary6449]

Towards the end: My girlfriend's white husky ran off, and I'm looking for it." My first thought: " So - why isn't *SHE* looking for it then ? "

[@swedishrick377]

Damn you were ripping that trail bro!!

[@MaxGerston]

Always! Yeeeew thanks for watching.

[@yurperfect]

Yeee haaaawww!!!

[@douglasbegnaud1]

Amazing riding. Is your endurocross suspension softer than stock? Looking at 350 race from Sherco 300

[@gerrygodden8051]

Max, I think your hair is on fire! What a great add for Beta, they should pay big$ for this vid.

[@MaxGerston]

I’d say it’s softer and stiffer than stock. Softer at the top and stiffer at the bottom.

[@andygilliland]

holy crap, the bars got ripped out of my hands just watching this! how are you so solid over all those loose, baseball-sized rocks? steering damper?

[@MaxGerston]

Haha no I don’t run a steering damper. Good suspensions and lots of throttle and practice.

[@andygilliland]

​@MaxGerston what do u have done to your suspension? (I'm assuming it's not stock)

[@Moto_Trails]

What tires you running?

[@MaxGerston]

Mitas. 140 size in the back

[@Jcarney87]

1-which camera 2 what settings 3 what did you use to edit it all together

[@MaxGerston]

Go pro 11. I’m not sure the settings. I used QuickTime haha as simple as it gets.

MF casually blasting down greasy waterfall at 40mph gapping logs.

[@MaxGerston]

Hahahahahahah

[@hanknowak1619]

Riding like that for the first 10 minuets like you were is why the trails get whooped out dude. You certainly are “tipping” some fun little trail. If you want to “rip” like that go to a motocross track daddyo.

[@marshallgerston4809]

I thought about your reply overnight. And while I see your point, I've done countless trail maintenance days with the forest service, and have been riding trails for longer than I'd like to remember. I have a slightly different take on it. While any activity certainly causes trail erosion and wear, once whoops start - due to normal wear, then, as we all know, they get worse over time. Here's why. It rains and water collects in the bottom. Then when slow guys (like me) come through - wha, wha, wha, we splash the mud, water and dirt out of the bottom. It gets spit out to the side and it collects on the top of the next whoop, therefore compounding the problem. When fast guys (like Max) hit the whoops, they dance across the tops rarely touching the mud/water in the low points. So, I guess I'd argue that slower guys cause more wear than guys who ride light, dance across the tops, ride the edges and pick better lines.

[@andygilliland]

Scared of whoops, dude
