Going Sideways at Bryce Downhill Bike Park (Dark & Stormy Trail Guide)

Dark & Stormy is one of the two new trails at Bryce Bike Park in Virginia (the other is Old Fashioned). This is a ride-through of the trail after a few runs on it, showing some of the off-camber natural areas and high berms. The trail starts with Brew-Thru and the tabletop line (blue flow), then transitions into Dark & Stormy (black technical).

OK, even though I've never done this, THAT was fun just to watch. Can't imagine anyone giving that a thumbs-down.

[@lirastolons4951]

You should try it! At a bike park like this you don’t even have to pedal to the top! I got here because I’m a mountain biker not computer person 🙂

[@RedSoxFan8523]

I just ordered my first real mountain bike and remembered your video. Could you do more of these please. If not I understand because all of the in depth things you are doing with the main channel

[@titan557]

Dang it Steve, you had me holding my breath for almost the whole video. I was afraid you was going to wipe out several times during your run. It looks like lots of fun, but my old heart wouldn't make it. Please be safe! I look forward to your post everyday and would hate to see you sidelined!!!

[@gnsteve8846]

I'll be safe! It's great to hear that you look forward to them - thank you for that!

[@SirCrimson]

@@gnsteve8846 No kidding, didn't think I was gonna watch a PC nerd ride a bike today and actually enjoy myself

[@simoSLJ89]

The best vr experience ever! :D And good audio. Considering the speed, you have improved audio quality a lot from the first videos.

Cinderella Man? Nice

[@hardbodybrain]

Thanks for the ID, I kept listening to it to identify!

[@twistedsaints]

@@hardbodybrain lol np. Was obssessed with that song when that album dropped so the second I heard the word lighting I knew what it was haha

[@hardbodybrain]

@@twistedsaints ahaha, yeah. I liked Recovery myself lol

[@Julex29]

Steve, I ride in Asheville and Charlotte, mostly trail riding, but this looks like a really fun Down Hill Park. I'll have to check it out.

[@masterhand03]

This looks super dangerous but also awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@steelfalconx2000]

Sweet, that off camber can really get you, most riders have a tendency to tilt their bikes. Nice fast berms too!

[@racerex340]

Dark & Stormy looks like some of the newer trail sections they've added to Attitash up here in NH. Seems to be more common these days rather than opening completely new trails, they're adding more inter-trail segments for variety, which I suppose explains why many of the new sections have more off-camber sections.

[@SonGoku-97]

I see you reppin that GN blue coloration. nice.

[@kitsune2858]

Steve, I love watching you race down hill :) Could I ask a favor of you? Please do some long sleeve shirts for your bros on the Beast Coast, Love you man :)

[@Panhead49EL]

Given any thought to making a few videos for bike tech, bike maintenance, etc.

[@shaneeslick]

G'day Steve, I love these Downhill videos 🚲🏞

[@trippy325]

Definitely love this stuff since I ride the trails myself. Thanks!

More Bike Content! Bikes are the best.

[@jean-paulpitman2172]

Nice run

[@MIkegrimm2]

Looks like a lot of fun, I just wonder how do you find the time to have this much fun, while still producing content on your regular channel

[@freetechdk]

Nice to see you on the bike again... / bike videos again... Nothing better then going for a day of riding away from work and tech. But what is the "rattling" noise from your bike ??

[@gnsteve8846]

Probably the cables

[@kayburcky7146]

@@gnsteve8846 well well, seems like somebody has to do some cable management xD

[@leviathanpriim3951]

thankd Steve

[@UltimateMTB]

Nice video! Have you ever been to Windrock? It would be really cool to see you make a video riding there

[@seanb12491]

the fact that bryce is an hour from me makes me wonder if ill run into steve at some time

[@BilalKhan-zl4vr]

Definitely a weird trail. Really wanna try biking on a track like this. Now to just learn how to ride a bike

[@registeredblindgamer4350]

That was awesome to watch, I wouldn't have the balls to do this, knowing my luck i would crash into a tree or something.

[@agenericaccount3935]

Wheeee. The off camber stuff always throws me a little.

[@thatspsychotic]

These are pretty fun to go through after having watched you on Gamers Nexus for quite some time. Relatively speaking, are you more comfortable downhilling or overclocking PCs? For me it's downhilling/MTB in general, though I've overclocked every CPU I've owned...

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

It looks like you can hit a tree at any point and at that speed I am not sure you would survive. I hope you don't crash. I would be scared enough if there were no trees but the trees really scare me especially since they are so close. When skiing you typically don't go so close to trees.

[@kieranb7747]

but how many gigahertz did you reach on that bike? how are the DB levels.

[@DanielNavas1]

What are the yellow tags on your handlebars? Do not resuscitate tags?

[@iamnotagoat66]

remove before flight

[@gnsteve8846]

Lol, they're just old lift tickets

[@SheriffMayorTV]

Steve you animal!

[@jamesbilger]

Seems weird, not bad, just weird. Looks like it needs some more berms or something on two of the turns so you can carry some speed through them, but maybe I'm missing something that didn't come through on the video that would require you to actually want to slow down through the turns, other than the lack of berm to ride along at least.

[@stevesadness8560]

I know you probably don't have the time to do much of these, but try squeezing in more vids of these when you can. Very enjoyable and relaxing is you're not the one flying down that trail.

[@mimireich]

That a lake... a pond... *LAKE ?!!!*

[@Hobbiekip]

Barely scratching the surface of the root problem with those tree stumps 👍👍 Compliments to your bike control! As Elon once said: 'I would like to be a magnet'. Throwing in my two cents: 'Well,,, I wish I could drive a bike like that.' Who needs his nickel back if you can spin your wheels like that? Meanwhile there are 182 stray cats outside that look like grandma. Patches needs a band-aid, he's been at the wrong side of heaven I guess. Have a good day!

[@disrxt]

Bike needs more RGB.

[@kashashk]

Steve, make a parody review of this in GN's style. :)

[@schmudge]

Swap the cat for a DOG. then ya can ride together.

[@MTBScotland]

you seem pretty over-biked for those trails

[@gnsteve8846]

Well, I mean, there's an entire park. This is one trail.

[@MTBScotland]

GNSteve you took that the wrong way. Bloody words
