Looks worthy of replacing blue! It’s nice to see good mountain biking popping up close to southern Ontario. That area west of Buffalo is a hidden gem! I went skiing in December at Holiday Valley which is 2 minutes down the road from Holimont and it was great. I am hoping to make it a yearly trip each Christmas break. Great video

[@ToogyHowser]

yeah man, this place is only going to get better, and looks like there is some other sick biking close by like Jake's Rocks, need to check that place out next time

[@jeffinburlington]

@@ToogyHowser trails at jakes rocks (TAJR) is a must ride IMO. only another hour or so from ellicotville. but, unless youre shuttling with friends, be prepared to pedal back up (about 700 vertical feet), or get an eMTB. Lots of place to stay around jake rocks in Warren PA, which a nice little place with a friendly downtown area with places to eat/drink post ride, that is actively building out their outdoor recreational appeal/infrastructure too. the area including and around TAJR really proves what can be done with the will and commitment from local and municipal governments. many areas in Ontario could learn from them, if they only wanted to.

Glad to see you made it there and that the two new trails were open. Now I have to go back to try them. This place is a hidden gem right now and it will be a regular visit from here on out. Hope to run into you there!

[@ToogyHowser]

For sure! Sounds like they have a few more trails in the works too! Thanks for putting this on my radar!

[@xalexx777]

Don’t miss adjacent singletrack in McCarty Hill SF! Recommend trails: Eagle, Porcupine, & Yukon’s Lunch.

[@ToogyHowser]

Thanks! I'll have to remember that next time I'm in the area!

[@owen_som]

We were there about a month ago! Rad little park hoping to see it grow in the future.

[@ToogyHowser]

yep! I know there is at least one more trail they are working on, so hopefully that opens soon! Only going to get better and better

[@ThePalmiterfamily1]

Thanks for sharing...will take a trip there for sure.... and with the winters getting colder and shorter that makes sense to build a larger mountain bike trail Network

[@ToogyHowser]

yeah, you need to check this place out, it's worth it! and only getting better!

[@johnfinelli6882]

Hey Toogy, Thanks for the video I’m gonna put this place on my list . I really like your Bike and can’t believe How QUIET your Bike is ! Keep the vids coming great sound and pic quality @4K. C U ON THE TRAIL!

[@ToogyHowser]

it's a great place to ride and they are adding more trails! Glad you liked the video!

[@JohnWilson-cy1ge]

Rad place, lots of fun, good crew

[@ToogyHowser]

Totally! and the best group of dudes to ride with

[@jf8534]

Toogy, nice to see you back. I left the channel when you were going through tough times and took a break. Sorry it took me so long to find you again.

[@kfactor818]

I was looking for info on Holimont and couldn't find much except for your video which inspired my son and I to give it a try. Well we went there today - - our first time at an actual bike park - and who did we see but Toogy Howser himself in the lift line a couple of times just 2 people ahead of us!! Hope your races went well today and thanks for the great videos!!

[@ToogyHowser]

That's awesome! I love reading comments like this! it's one reason I continue to make videos, I know this sport can be intimidating and I try and show people that if I can do it, you can do it! Glad you had a great time at Holimont! It's a great bike park! Next time say Hi!

[@MacBikesMTB]

Great video, amazing quality and looks like an awesome time! Keep it up!

[@ToogyHowser]

Thanks!

[@AitchYXE]

Looks like a fun little park.

[@ToogyHowser]

it is! and only going to get better!

[@JRMTB]

Nice dude! Stoked to see you back in your groove. I agree you can absolutely fly down that trail.

[@JRMTB]

That drop on newts always intimidate me until I finally tried it. It’s much easier than it looks. Same with that larger wooden double at the bottom.

[@ToogyHowser]

Good to know! I really wanted to try that but figured we were having a good day and didn’t want to hurt myself! Will try it next time for sure!!

[@davidrickards4931]

Great video...that "One" trail was built years ago, before the bike park was a thing. I hope that the trail crew gets to go over there and re-work some of it, because there are good parts to the trail. Hope you found Sasquatch back in the woods, it is a really fun trail too.

[@ToogyHowser]

We didn't find that trail! where abouts is it? Is it part of the bike park?

[@mensuddevic8983]

You are killing it man....👏👏👏

[@ToogyHowser]

Thanks! I'm stoked I hit some of the features, wish I would have maybe tried the other ones, but there is always next time!

[@nostr8ghtlinzs596]

The trail is call one as it was the fiest downhill trail built. Sometimes they have a young lady give out tours, she explained the history. It was just xc riding for years. Then some members built the 'one' trail. This is why it also looks more like a down country trail, and why there are those two steep climbs in the middle. Since then they added more trails and as of last year I think allowed public lift access. Hopefully they will keep building/opening new trails. There is a lot potential and good dirt!

[@ToogyHowser]

good to know! thanks!

[@MattPayne1]

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a 5.5hr drive from philly area. might add this one to the list for this year.

[@jmvknows01]

I’d save you’re time and go to mountain creek instead

[@ech0chr0megaming66]

Don’t get me wrong, great vid but honestly I’m never going to go out of my way to go here. Mountain creek is amazing, Killington, Blue mountain, Highlands, Thunder mountain, Powder Ridge. They are all closer to where I live and simply better.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Looks like a nice place to ride. Can you ride in E bikes in that park? Just subbed so will check out some more of your videos.

[@ridingwithroach6385]

Had Such a blast at this park. This place will only get better 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ToogyHowser]

yeah man! it was so much fun!

[@garretteverson8172]

i went to hilmont for the first time yesterday and tbh my favorite part was not the riding i have a bad stutter so i have social anxiety and i went there alone and was just able to talk and tag along with people i felt confortable out of my confort zone

[@blakbanshee]

Need a place in south eastern ny. Hunter doesn’t have biking and windham just stopped.

[@ToogyHowser]

yeah it sucks that Windham closed! I was looking forward to checking it out some day

[@1withnatur3studio50]

Hey Dude, It's a closer drive for me to that bike park. Should I just skip Quebec and go there? Far easier drive for me.

[@ToogyHowser]

Well Quebec has some amazing riding so not sure this better, but it is really good and much closer!

[@jerryspeedbumps512]

looked grippy! Love it! What were the lift line ups like?

[@ToogyHowser]

it was! awesome dirt! The lift lines were a little long, but apparently they have more bike trays on order for next season, so that should speed it up!

[@SerhiyMTB]

Is it worth it for for 2 days of riding? Great video

[@Starnerdz]

I want to go here but when i look at their website they only offer season passes and all i want is a day pass, so i don't know how much it costs.

[@ToogyHowser]

I’m pretty sure once the season starts they will have day passes, I think last year it was around $40 for a day pass

[@lewisparker3234]

Is it better than Horseshoe in Ontario?

[@ToogyHowser]

YES! longer descents and better terrain and just a great chill atmosphere there

[@JumpflowLine]

Toogy, I see you use tinted goggles. I’m looking into getting a pair, do they make the it dark and hard to see the trails in the woods?

[@ToogyHowser]

they are a little dark, I'm actually thinking of swapping out to a clear lens or maybe a transition lens if they make them for googles?

[@JumpflowLine]

Yes I think they do, not sure which brand makes them but I know they’re out there. And thanks for feedback
