He Built This Trail By Hand, Can I Keep Up?

[@lynnstone8958]

A trail that makes all Mom's shake their head

This is the comment I wait for. 😄

[@mr.peters6483]

You should start your own company on teaching people to ride mtb. You have crazy skill and great personality. I would take lessons from you on certain things that i struggle with lol.

[@DaleStone]

Haha thanks! That might be a thing one day, you never know... 🙂

[@koen37]

3:47 me when Dale uploads a new video

[@DRSpalding]

Nice! I was just thinking yesterday that I hadn't seen a video from Dale in quite a while, and there it is!

[@nicks2716]

Obviously you are an amazing rider, but I think one under appreciated part of your skill set is the precision with which you ride. I’ve seen enough of your videos to have seen countless examples of clean line choices and steering turns/adjustments, but for whatever reason the left turn onto the rock at 2:46 really caught my attention this time. So very precise and intentional with perfect balance and speed control to make the move look smooth as butter. Such moves are subtle and may come natural to you, but I know from my own herky-jerky efforts on far less challenging trails that the talent is borne from unimaginable hours of practice.

[@DaleStone]

Haha thanks Nick! I don't know of anyone else that takes my line through that section, it is indeed extremely precise. But I can't not go through the tight original trees, which set me up nicely... 🙂

[@mtbdadcebu2268]

that's awesome, big fan from the Philippines.

[@MAEBikr]

The builder riding a hard tail - priceless.......

[@DaleStone]

You're the first to notice haha, even I forgot! 😂

[@Yoda-em5mt]

Good to see a real rider making real trails you guys have such nice bush to play in totally enjoyed this vid i for one would like to see the climbs too .

[@rickiroadrash]

but wait , there's more ...Steve also has a single speed he rides , he is a special kind of different LOL 😜

[@MAEBikr]

You say it in the video @@DaleStone

[@jeremyprovonsil7886]

@@DaleStonewhat HT is he riding? I tried to pause and get a look but no luck.

[@greenmindmtb7653]

My grandma would definitely not full send any of that😉 700mm bars highly recommended 😬

[@scottsland99]

Wow, looks like spring arrived there already!

[@DaleStone]

September does have that spring light... 🙈

[@gweflj]

I remember Steve when I used to live on the Shore. Good to see he’s still riding this sort of nonsense.

[@SkysTheLimit745]

Great content as always! Another one you’ve shown me that I want to go ride at the next opportunity.

[@bctrailbagger]

Miss that trail!

[@DaleStone]

Another 5 months...

[@garyharmon5386]

Great video and riding by both of you

[@horaciomillan4181]

I have no doubt: the builder is an evil sadist.😂😂

[@shirk15]

Can confirm. True.

[@biggles6o4]

I'm not that bad! 😄

[@ianbluemtb]

Was watching from top to bottom, wanted really to ride that trail but definitely not going alone cause it looks like scary trail but fun at the same time? Maybe?! 😂.....

[@DaleStone]

I definitely can't recommend riding this one solo! 🙂

This is the trail our grandparents took when going to school.

[@downhillupside]

I LOVE the Full Pull. It's such a great adventure loop. I'm curious: are there plans to do any big maintenance pushs on it (I'd volunteer!)? There are some obvious spots - even from this video - where it could use some love.

[@DaleStone]

I don't think there are any "big" plans due to how little traffic it sees and how far from... everything it is, but I'm sure Steve would appreciate a helping hand here and there. Hit him up @biggles604!

[@biggles6o4]

There are plans to fix a couple of spots. Because access is hard, I want to make sure I have a decent crew to maximise the amount of work for the length of the hike in.

[@daveharris39]

Paused to comment. @ 2:30 "...scary move number 1" Um...the last 2.5 minutes of sketch had no scary moves?!?!

[@drMomirPantelic]

I was thinking the EXACT same thing 😂

[@stephangauthier911]

I dont care what people think; old shool hand crafted trails is where it's at. I absolutely hate every kubota groomed trails.

[@DaleStone]

Most trails are fun, but only some are special! 🙂

[@ben63197]

Totally agree with you. Too many flowy trails these days...

[@Yoda-em5mt]

Your lucky you dont live in australia everything here is kato crap berm berm flat roller berm berm flat its pretty sad what imba has done to real mountian biking only the secret stuff that most say is unrideable is any good .

[@edenshred]

sick video as always. also, what camera do you use?

[@DaleStone]

I think this was with a DJI, many months ago haha.

[@edenshred]

are you using a different one now? @@DaleStone

[@lemonadejars]

🛎️ for the missing bell

[@built2jzlexus496]

What are your cam settings? Looks great

[@DaleStone]

I don't remember! 🙈

[@built2jzlexus496]

@@DaleStone do you atleast remember the camera lol

[@carlmason5166]

A t shirt change aswell there' no end to the skills here.

[@tyskigolf]

Seems the Trailforks rating of a single black is a bit off. Certainly looks double to me.

[@DaleStone]

The exposure is definitely double black in spots, but it rides like a remote black. 🙂

[@w8stral]

Can easily see change in forest via elevation change....

[@DaleStone]

Right?! I love trails that are long enough to be able to watch the forest change.

[@biggles6o4]

550m elevation drop from top to bottom!

We could have stopped... But PRs!

I’m curious how do you make now with all the subscriptions

[@DaleStone]

How do I make... what?

[@darkness789]

Oh whoop’s grammar error. So now that you have over 300,000 subscribers you make enough money to ride full time without worrying about money?

Is this on eagle mountain I want to ride it

[@DaleStone]

It is!
