[@TheSpokelore]

So great to spend time with you at Cuyuna, JT! I truly appreciate our new friendship and look forward to building a coaching video series with you! Keep ripping!

[@TheDustyDutchman]

Same to you! Stoked we got to connect! More to come 👍

[@rodbender690]

Nice video :) Rode with Matt a couple times in Wisconsin ... great guy and a solid coach!!

[@TheDustyDutchman]

Thank you! Yeah he’s awesome. He and I are making plans for more videos together. 👍

[@jenniferg2488]

Really cool that you had the opportunity to ride with a coach!! 😊

[@TheDustyDutchman]

Right? It was a great experience. More to come with Matt and I

[@grinnsessions]

Yeah!🤙 Shred the Red! You definitely hit the bangers! So many fun miles in the Iron Range! Evan, I'm sure was a great tour guide as well!

[@TheDustyDutchman]

You know it! 🤘 I love it up there ❤️ and yeah Evan was kind enough to give me some much needed direction lol

[@LevoSteve-O]

Super awesome place! The trails and views are hard to beat!

[@TheDustyDutchman]

Absolutely! The more I go the more I love that place. Even in the rain!

[@JJDynomite]

Your production level is amazing, Making the rest of us look like poo... LOL AWESOME!

[@TheDustyDutchman]

Haha no way 🫣 but seriously thank you 🙌

[@HOV4N]

Nice video! I was just there recently for the first time and I enjoyed it! How’s the Spectral holding up? I have one too and it’s a fun bike

[@TheDustyDutchman]

Thanks so much! Cuyuna is such a cool area with something for everyone 🙌. I’m still digging my spectral a lot. It’s a workhorse, absolutely no issues, and just works well. I can’t complain

[@bradcnolan]

Shred the red brah!

[@TheDustyDutchman]

ALL DAY ALL DAYYY! ❤

[@BIIIKES]

Dude, the Bobsled Trail... 👌. Also, max lens mod or 360 cam for the POV? I love the horizon lock showing how far the bike leans. This was a fun one, JT 🤘

[@BIIIKES]

Nevermind, I see the max lens mod at (8:40). 😋

[@TheDustyDutchman]

Thank you 🙏 it was fun to film too! I’ve been running the max lens for a few years now. I see the benefit to 360 but I just like the ease of use on the max lens. I totally agree on the horizon lock. I have the new max lens 2.0 now with the hero 12 that I’ll be testing out soon. 👍

[@BIIIKES]

Awesome. Still running the 9 and I just picked up the mod a few weeks back. Haven't mtb'd with it yet. (training for a huge gravel race), but will do soon enough. I used to run an Insta360 OneX. I wasn't thrilled with the video quality, but more so the workflow was a nightmare. Was a relief going back to a GoPro.

[@TheDustyDutchman]

@BIIIKES yeah that’s exactly it. The ease of use is huge. I ran a hero 9 with a max lens too, it worked great. Good luck with the race! 👍🤘

[@compgameboy779]

Awesome video! You rode with a great group of MN KZbinrs. Cuyuna is so much FUN!!

[@TheDustyDutchman]

Thanks for watching! Great trails with great people. Nothing better 🤙🤙

[@compgameboy779]

@@TheDustyDutchman You're welcome and I agree!! I also volunteer at Leb too! I'm Travis! Nice to meet you Dusty!

[@TheDustyDutchman]

@compgameboy779 nice to meet you as well! Leb is awesome too, I’ve ridden there a few times

[@mtbboy1993]

Lovely place. Pretty green nature. 3:38 That looked scary. That's lots of tech you rode there. 5:46 Elbow pads are a must IMO. I never ride without. Also I use ankle braces so the ankles are covered, also plates on the side. I use Space Brace 2. So no longer need to wear high top shoes, as the braces protect my ankles. But I need the braces to keep my feet stable. Or it could be painful as mine are sloppy, so misalignment when hiking, and riding can cause pain. I no longer have to pop them in all the time. Or risk a techy hike causing issues. I use Peal Izumi Elevate knee and elbow pads, but the elbow pads don't fit me that well, they are too big in the sleeve, despite me being within the size range for medium. But I will fold and sew it to make it narrower, but I suspect I might fit Small. They are breathable, and comfy and super light. D3O pads have plenty of vents, and it's very soft and flexy. But not crashed in them yet. But my left upper shin below the knee is problematic, so I get a rash there even with those pads, I will likely get it with any pads, as my left has more shape to it than my right. So more rubbing of the bad I guess.

[@TheDustyDutchman]

It’s definitely a cool place, like you said, lots of lush green nature.

[@Oscar_isgoated]

Bobsled and Roly poly are my favorite trails at cuyuna. I’m also a beginner

[@TheDustyDutchman]

Both are awesome trails 👍

[@MJKOLODZIK]

🥹 Wow that is spectacular stuff dude. 😮

[@TheDustyDutchman]

Thank you! And thanks for watching 👍
