Escaping the summer heat! | Mountain biking Jackson Demonstration Forest in Mendocino, Ca

[@blkriqan]

Watching this video a few weeks back brought me here this weekend from San Jose, CA. Thanks for the share.

[@JakeSpeakman]

Nice! Long drive, hope you enjoyed it!

Once you mtb in the redwoods you’ll always come back. Cool summer weather is just a perk.

100%

Omg! We were there a weekend ago, parked down by the boiler. Climbed up 720. And did Endo/ohno/Boiler for 2 days in a row. GO PRO does no justice the downhill curves comeing down from endo killed us, it was so steep, that back home we ordered full face helmets :) You played it off like it was cool :) we were screaming while watching the video 😂 but honestly, Boiler is one of the best trails.. we are booking camp ground in Caspar Beach this weekend, as i’m leaving this comment :) we are going back this weekend :)

[@JakeSpeakman]

I absolutely love Boiler! And yes, way steeper in person but fun as hell! I’m jealous, hope you have fun! Jackson Demo is a blast 😎

Great vid, I took the day off tomorrow to ride and may go ride this. Kind of far for me, I live near Waterdog park just to give an idea but Jackson has been on my list.

[@JakeSpeakman]

Thanks man! You gotta go, the drive up is beautiful and you won’t hit much traffic (hopefully) the trails are super fun and won’t be busy at all.

Can leave short snips of the technical climbs; if nothing else, gives a consistent sense of the trail/route

[@JakeSpeakman]

I appreciate the feedback!

Beautiful trail! Nice video to watch on this cool summer morning. I just moved to P-town last year myself. How do you like it so far? I'm fat and out of shape, not riding much at the moment, but maybe I'll run into you on the trails or around town in the near future!

[@JakeSpeakman]

Thanks Dave! I love Petaluma, i live downtown with my fiancé. I recommend Helen Putnam if you’re just getting back into riding and looking for something mellow. Take it easy 🤙

[@fabiozambrotti]

Awesome!!! Never been there . Wonderful views and flows. How many elev gain you accumulated on this ride and eBike are allowed there ? Good job and amazing video ✌️🚵‍♂️😍

[@JakeSpeakman]

Thanks Fabio! I did about 12.5 miles and got around 2,200 feet of elevation gain. My ride log is linked if you wanna see my exact route. As far as ebikes go i’m not a 100% sure, good question though.

My wife rode an ebike out there last year. It’s not like Marin- you hardly see people. Nobody said anything. No Karens or rangers spotted.

That big hole through the tree is a portal

[@JakeSpeakman]

Interesting. Where does it go?

[@bradgreen1349]

4:58 clearly the work of Ewoks

[@JakeSpeakman]

Good point, didn’t even consider that!

[@serrano396]

perfect circle it must be Bigfoot.

[@JakeSpeakman]

I knew it!
