Yeah boi!!! That is awesome

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks, Mike! 😊

[@musicalmotors]

Wow, Cory is so much more confident on her bike. Awesome.

[@dukeofmtb]

On drops especially. 😁👍

[@steve_exclamationpoint]

Really cool too see how you guys have progressed 👌👌👌

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks, Steve! Just gotta get those jumping skills dialed now. Kinda hard to do with everything that's going on. 😅

[@steve_exclamationpoint]

The Duke of MTB I hear ya. My wife and I are planning an East Coast MTB road trip from the Chicagoland area this summer. Hopefully, we won’t have to move it out or cancel.

[@dukeofmtb]

@@steve_exclamationpoint Yup. We also bought season passes for Blue Mountain in Ontario. I hope we won't need to get them refunded. 😔

[@SonaAvedian]

I can't believe how fast you both are progressing! Keep up the great work!

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks! Will do!

[@mikerobertson9787]

You make it look smoooooth. Good job! Gives me inspiration!!

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks! 😊

[@bluecreekbiking948]

I love drops also

[@Jimmytheexplorer]

That spot you were mentioning the wind is horrible in thw winter whe skiing beacus it is blasting you with snow

[@dukeofmtb]

Good to know. 😊

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

Nice job! That was fun to watch.

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks! 😄

[@hankjr734]

Watching this channel inspired me to buy a mtn bike and hit some trails around SE Michigan

[@dukeofmtb]

That's awesome, dude! How's the mtb life treating you so far?

[@hankjr734]

@@dukeofmtb literally ordered a bike last week, waiting for it to ship 😁😁

[@MTBMichigan]

Great progression!

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks, Rob!

[@allenballard377]

That's so inspiring I'm a new rider I wanna get to that point

[@dukeofmtb]

You can do it! It helps to find someone to tow you in. You'll progress so much faster than we did if you get someone to tow you. Stay tuned for the upcoming vid. We meet a couple of slightly newer riders that end up hitting some relatively big features over the course of one afternoon. 😄👍

[@allenballard377]

@@dukeofmtb oh that's gonna be a sweet vid.I yeah boy 😆

[@finnisgay5056]

Yet another amazing video

[@1111-t5n]

Me Nards its cleaner, love watching you all progress it's fun to see you all go from crawling to needing more cow bell and finding it on the inside to bring it.

[@CaptainYodelstein]

I'm so glad you put in the bonus video at the end. The first person view does not do the features justice. Had no idea they were that big. You should use more footage like that. Great video!

[@dukeofmtb]

I try to. Just hard to convince everybody to stop and just session and record stuff. Folks just want to send it.😅

[@BigVanLittleAdventures]

You guys tore it up! I sure hope all this crap goea back to normal and we can hit the parks this summer.

[@dukeofmtb]

I know. Already have season passes for Blue too.

[@nicolegarnett5902]

You guys are great. Ever been to Brown County, Indiana?

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks! Nope, not yet. One day. 😁

[@WarrenLeeds]

Once again another excellent video, this was a wild ride and I appreciate the time and effort that you have taken to create this. Thank you Edward and Corey.

[@dukeofmtb]

Awww. You're making me blush, dude. 😊 Glad you like it. 😁👍

[@WarrenLeeds]

The Duke of MTB I’ve been quite busy in my personal life and unfortunately haven’t had the chance to comment on one of your videos for quite some time

[@dukeofmtb]

@@WarrenLeeds I can imagine. Times are weird. 😅

[@brianreemmer9619]

if you guys live near beverly hills mi check out this mtb trail

[@craigazucena]

My wife never would consider riding with me, after y’all’s video she’s coming out for her first trail ride. Y’all are so awesome.

[@dukeofmtb]

Glad we were able to help you convince her. 😁👍

[@ToogyHowser]

Nicely done! That skinny log ride jump is crazy in person! I'm hoping to make it back there this year still, some other cool looking drops at the end, not sure what trails those are on, but Boyne is certainly a fun place to ride!

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks, Toogy! I think the other drops were on Holy Diver and Skidmark. Can't wait to see if we can still do them. 😅

[@shartsgamehouse7425]

My stepson and I have been watching your videos and have started mtb. We to are from Michigan and want to check this place out

[@dukeofmtb]

That's great! Mountain Biking is a great hobby. It can completely change your life. Glad you guys found our channel too. Boyne is pretty cool. Don't forget to add Blue Mountain in Ontario to your list. 😁👍

[@rollwithmemtb]

Sweet! Really great riding! The rewind to another angle is very cool👍 Another great edit👍👍👍 Definitely going to Boyne this year.

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks, Scott. 😊

[@benhammonds4964]

do you know when they open?

[@dukeofmtb]

I think they plan to open in late June this year. Not 100% sure though.

[@musicalmotors]

They opened the 19th. They ask you to sanitize hands before and after using lift, unless you wear gloves. Which is probably most of us anyways

[@benhammonds4964]

@@musicalmotors yeah i went opening weekend

[@TProStudioCreate]

This park looks legendary! Great riding and great editing dude, this was sweet!

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks, dude! Glad you enjoyed it. 😁👍

[@brycevanwort1877]

Hey just wondering if there is a bypass to the lift. If we could bike to the top. Just Not Wanting to spend the money

[@dukeofmtb]

Yeah, there are multiple access roads for emergency, service, and maintenance vehicles to get up there. You can definitely climb up to get to the trails you want to. BUT....the savings to time & effort ratio makes it not worth it. With the amount of time and effort you'll lose, it'll actually be many times easier to just work an hour or two overtime and pay the $25(give or take) day pass. Just my 2 cents. 😁👍

[@brycevanwort1877]

Thank you

[@brycevanwort1877]

As a 14 yrs old that's about 5 weeks of blueberry picking 😂 but thank you anyway

[@dukeofmtb]

@@brycevanwort1877 haha. My bad. In that case, you probably have all the stamina in the world. Definitely go for the climb. If you're with buddies, it'll be fun. Stay safe out there though. Don't ride solo, just in case. Good luck. 👍

[@mikeprosauce]

Check out addison oaks

[@dukeofmtb]

Yup. I've ridden there a few times. Haven't gotten around to making a video there yet though. I'll see about doing that sometime this year hopefully. 😅

[@mikeprosauce]

@@dukeofmtb another great one is lapeer oakdale trail or demille bowl there is a ton of features not much elevation or climbing but lots of flow

[@dukeofmtb]

@@mikeprosauce Thanks!

[@crystalbake2234]

I have met them in person

[@johnisevil]

yeah boi yeah boi!

[@dukeofmtb]

YEAH BOI!!!

[@carvershirey8013]

Would you recommend going

[@dukeofmtb]

Definitely, especially if you love drops. 👍 Best place to progress on them.

[@notantosh626]

Damn boi

[@carvershirey8013]

Yay boyne

[@lukemonroe8303]

Nice! I dont have anywhere to practice, so the biggest drop i have ever done has been a 2 foot huck to flat. When was this taken?

[@dukeofmtb]

This was in October. Boyne's bike park usually opens some time in May. 👍

[@ryrummler8143]

The last drop is so deceiving when scoping it out. Looks like a drop to flat. I’d love to ride there with you two this season! The new flow trail there is gonna be fun as fuuuck!

[@dukeofmtb]

Yeah, the first time we tried it, we kept under sending it. It's better to send it slightly further in the landing. Feels less like a huck to flat that way. Can't wait to go back. 😁

[@gvdz3395]

The Duke of MTB let’s goooo!!!

[@dukeofmtb]

@@gvdz3395 yeah boi! 🤘

[@shawnmartin3535]

Was this open during the covid shut down!?

[@dukeofmtb]

I don't know for sure, but probably not. This footage is from October.

[@tizben]

I wish I could get my lady to ride with me 😭

[@dukeofmtb]

Take her on a green trail. Cory was hooked on day one, but we both started as newbies together. I imagine it'll be harder with a large skill gap. You're gonna have to be super patient and ride greens and blues with her for a while. Good luck. 👍

[@punisher9oneone]

I’m going through my phone... I don’t see an invite for this... 😜

[@dukeofmtb]

😂 I think you had work or something on that day. Even Anthony's wife, Jashen didn't come.
