I waited way to long to ride this trail - Stinger Trail - Lake Tahoe, Ca

[@TahoeUsedSkiAndSnowboard]

Kingsbury Stinger is my favorite downhill trail in Tahoe. Some sections are where old log flumes ran, Very few riders on it most days. Great video.

[@B1KER]

Thanks man!

[@ckcbmrice]

Hey Robert, FYI for you. Top of Spooner is a little over 7100'. Lake elevation is about 6200. And that first part of climbing that TRT isn't punchy, its vertical. :)

[@B1KER]

Hahahaha not nearly as bad as climbing up that fire road next to Cold Creek.

[@davidstepro7486]

@@B1KER Agree, that fire road is a bitch which is why you hardly ever see people climbing it.

[@SubmarinersDive]

Dude that was sooo good! Great to see some place different! Great scenery as well.

[@B1KER]

Thanks bud

[@TrailSage]

Beautifully shot and narrated Robert. Love those big rock sections, it's like a tech playground. The mix of flow is really cool too. I have yet to get to the west coast, but I will put this place on the list.

[@B1KER]

Tons of great trails in Tahoe!

[@jmoutdoors2801]

You’re looking good these days

[@B1KER]

Thanks buddy

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

I used to come out to Tahoe to snowboard. Always loved it out there. Never thought about riding MTB there but I definitely need to add it to the bucket list.

[@B1KER]

There is a lot of great riding up there.

[@Downhillbothways]

Awesome ride, bro! Definitely gonna head out there are some time!

[@PapiOso55]

Sweet!!!…I’m heading to Tahoe but I can’t ride momz birthday, gonna check out the trails tho’

[@B1KER]

It’s a fun one!

[@heywood165]

Great to see you out on the bike enjoying your riding. Keep it up, it’s been too long!

[@B1KER]

More to come!

[@merickrickman4092]

Coming over from Spooner is a sneaky beast of a climb. Lots of areas with embedded rocks that just sap the power out of your legs, plus it actually starts at a little over 7k and goes to about 8500'. Early season, like you hit it, is really good, later in the year you ride a few beaches down low :). Have you thought about doing Rose to Toads? Great ride, great people, great scenery and funds go to building and maintaining our trails up here. Keep it up!

[@B1KER]

I’ve thought about it, but damn it’s a big day!

[@merickrickman4092]

@@B1KER It'd be a good personal challenge :). It's not horrible. Leave early in the morning is the best way, it gets pretty warm. There's also lots of drop out trails too. I had to drop early twice. Once right after I broke my pelvis on Corral, and then the next year crashing a hundred yards past the Bench on Spooner, more mental on that one than pain. It's worth it, you can do it :)

[@vin374]

Just my favorite KZbinr...Well done Robert

[@B1KER]

Right on, thanks

[@kenwalker6233]

Great video! Can't wait to check out Tahoe!

[@B1KER]

Lots of good stuff up there

[@bigjohnsmountainbiking4749]

Awesome video!!!!!

[@B1KER]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dannyh3335]

Sick ride! I did that trail last summer on my Banshee Paradox hardtail 🤙🏼

[@B1KER]

Sounds like you like pain! :)

[@THESEGMENTPR]

Wow!! Looked so fun!! Great Flow brother

[@B1KER]

It was a good time.

[@edrader]

i rode the flume trail from spooner several times many moons ago

[@B1KER]

I did that once. Flume was pretty but not very challenging/fun.

[@edrader]

@@B1KER bike snob lmao

[@edrader]

@@B1KER the climb up is challenging especially for a big boi

[@outlawburgerontheloose]

Overcast days in Tahoe = the best riding weather

[@B1KER]

It was perfect

[@mikeo3589]

Just did this trail, had my wife shuttled us a few times… we stayed about 1/2 mile from Stinger trail in Kingsbury… really fun trail, every time we rode; we found new features… so explore… I had a lot of Fuck yeah! Fuck yeah!!!! Moments and a lot of oh shit i better slow down… cant wait to do it again…

[@B1KER]

Definitely was super fun!

[@mrrims]

Nice man! Looked like a blast

[@B1KER]

It was!

[@mtb4l484]

Great to see a new ride video! I was just looking at that trail in Trailforks. You can really tell your fitness and riding skill have reached a new high, Gratz! I wonder if you can RainX a GoPro lens and if it would help with water droplets. 🤔

[@B1KER]

The new one has a coating that is supposed to repel water like you are mentioning.

[@JakeSpeakman]

Good work! This trail looks really interesting, adding it to the list!

[@B1KER]

Was a fun ride.

[@TherealRickyLegend]

I got to get out there! Great vid!

[@B1KER]

Lots of good stuff there.

[@mushieslushie]

Looks like a nice ride. I wish over the edge was still there. Not sure if they ran a shuttle for this or not but we are lacking shuttles in that area now.

[@B1KER]

Yeah totally. You could probably leave a rider at the end watching the bikes and have the driver take an Uber back to the car.

[@mushieslushie]

@@B1KER I'm usually solo. Earlier in July though I rode the Flume shuttle out of Incline, I've done that the past few years now. I also was able to ride the Van Sickle trail as a shuttle. I parked at stagecoach and rode to the hotel, I was then able to get a ride back to my car without the bike.

[@adamcvanwinkle]

Damn that looked fun!!

[@B1KER]

It was a good one.

[@1pho3nixmatt]

Dang that was a good one!

[@B1KER]

Thanks 🤘

[@theslowrider]

sick video man! loved it!

[@B1KER]

Right on 🤘

[@bustedknux]

"More climby climby......weird!" Should be a sticker or shirt!

[@B1KER]

Hahaha!

[@determinedskeptic]

Rad! Defo a place to ride and enjoy by the looks of it 🤘 Gotta ask though, the flow at the end looks like the Tallboy would've been the one to ride there, but would it have made the chunk higher-up less fun, or even almost not rideable?

[@B1KER]

The Tallboy probably would have been fine. Overall that bike is capable. It just beats your body up a little more having less suspension.

[@chfphoto]

How are the Versus Tires working out? I just ordered a pair, thanks for the promo code!

[@B1KER]

They were great. I rode them until I wore them out and wanted to try something else.

[@NOOBASAURUS_MTB]

How long was that initial climb?

[@markvergara5344]

Ebike’s allowed in this trail?

[@B1KER]

Everything is as long as you don’t get caught! Joking aside, I’m not sure. I’m sure you could send Tamba a DM on insta or FB.

[@carpenter751]

What helmet you wearing if you don't mind me asking. It looks comfortable.

[@B1KER]

That’s the Kali Maya. Super comfortable. Been my favorite helmet for years.

[@bikerdoot]

Ride bikes get dirty! Love the shirt

[@B1KER]

Hahaha! 🤘

[@bikerdoot]

@@B1KER where can I get one?

[@bboss8048]

B1, do u still ride regularly, but just do not record all your rides?

[@B1KER]

I ride like 6-7 days a week. 3 days road and 4 on MTB.

[@bboss8048]

@@B1KER good for you Robert!! Keep at it. Its always a good day when u release a new video.

[@brianf1500]

Is this a easy shuttle?

[@B1KER]

I know people shuttle it, we rode it as part of a bigger ride.

[@will3167]

You can shuttle just stinger,with a gnarly little climb to get to the trail head.

[@XCRiders]

Credit where credits do my friend, at least you pedal majority, these mtb videos are just dropping in coasting down sending it

[@B1KER]

The climb is part of the adventure 👍

[@topjmmi]

Tallboy all day long...

[@B1KER]

I think you are right. I’ll have to go back and give it a shot.
