Rockward Files: Suicidal Tendencies, St. George, Utah

Just before things got all crazy with the Coronavirus and social distancing, I got out for one last massive group ride with a great crew led by skills coach Lynda Wallenfels in St. George, Utah.

Awesome scenery, nothing like the good old Utah. Keep it up!

[@50mtb44]

You showed so much climbing - like a real ride. Glad I'm not the only one who breaths hard while riding. : ) Thanks for brining us along.

[@gregwebster8784]

Great technical riding on those switchbacks

[@LyndaWallenfels]

You make our trails look super fun! Oh wait they are :-) Great riding with you before we all stopped riding together. That was the last pre-covid group ride!

[@OutOfThisVan]

That climb on the sketch drop off is a menace. Threw me off guard when I rode it can’t wait to give it another shot.

[@roostcaboose]

Incredible trail. Utah is definitely top three on my bucket list of places to ride. 🤙🏻

[@eriklenzing3288]

Love your channel. Never miss it.

[@WildMeff]

You’re a beast!! From the east

@15:05 "I took so many bad lines in a row" = me on every descent.

[@michaelhylton3752]

Minute 5:26 of this video shows the exact spot I had a pretty funny OTB crash coming down Sidewinder in November 2019. Good times. These are some of my favorite all time favorite trails.

Okay love the accent even though the Bruins are my all time arch rivals in the NHL me being originally from Montreal. When this whole COVID thing is all over I have an invite for you to come stay here at my place in Whistler, so you can come here and shred the MTB Mecca if you haven’t been here already. I have a house here with my family that is set up for guests and if you are at all interested respond to this and we can start a dialog. Love the the content you’re doing and I believe it’s the Rockford Files that first caught my attention. Keep up all the good stuff. Wade

Fun trail! Rode it a few months before the lockdown. Didn’t get all the switch backs but did make the climb with the rock that’s standing up next to the cliff.

[@gregwebster8784]

That's a nervy looking section. Props on that!

[@aaronrichardson218]

Duude! You need ta shoot a ride at Ames Nowell state paak in Abington, Its made for Rockwood...

[@susanweld9961]

Great riding in our southern state. What camera are you using? Your footage is so clean.

[@DirtWireTV]

Thanks! GoPro Hero 8.

[@gabrielmarias972]

Hi, amazing trail, didnt heard before, on my list! What tires/width you use for this trails? Also for enduro stuff use the sames or another combo? Looking great traccion front and traccion+speed rear for a 150mm bike Thx

[@nenadonatella3036]

I'm no skills coach, but I think the best way to manage those switchbacks is to grab a bunch of front and do a nose manual pivot round the damn thing.

[@DirtWireTV]

Nena Donatella that works on some of them. It’s how I navigate a few in the video. Doesn’t work on all of them (for me). Also a more advanced technique for most people.

[@chrisdavis2474]

Nice ride. How was The Offering on this ride? Any strengths and weaknesses during this type of ride?

[@DirtWireTV]

Thanks, dyude! Offering was altogether strong. Felt maneuverable on the tight switchbacks, up and down, and ripped on the downhills. Haven't found a drawback about the bike other than mud clearance but that isn't usually an issue-I'm a stickler about not riding wet trails.

[@chrisdavis2474]

I’m a local Bostonian and if I buy from JRA, you should get the comish, lol

[@DirtWireTV]

@@chrisdavis2474 Haha, awesome! Totally name-drop me when you go by. 👊

[@woodpecker6452]

[@LexZolnir]

[@DirtWireTV]

OverTheHillMTB I love him enough for both of us.
