Is CT's First Bike Park Worth It? A Rundown of Powder Ridge Bike Park Trails in 4k

[@JamesRobertMTB]

These tracks are so sweet !!! Happy shredding dude !

[@wheeliesforyourfeelies2860]

Thanks man, right back at ya!

[@RobJMTB]

I just found out my parents place is 15 minutes from them. I'll be shredding there next Wednesday.

[@Sumrandodude]

Went today, I’d recommend it. You can rent full suspension bikes and full face helmets. (You can also take lesson if you are new to the sport.)

[@rnnyhoff]

Great video of familiar trails though taken at a far slower rate on my hardtail. Have not tried the skills section. Excellent riding gentlemen. Something to strive for in my advanced middle age.

[@justinehulbert9617]

Sick video, bro! #lit #epic #🔥

[@sams2017]

Sick video man, if you wanna spice it up a bit at powder ridge, idk if you have one, but i usually ride my hardtail there, makes for some suuuuuper fun days there. Nice riding! Havent been yet this season but it looks like they added some cool stuff and made it a lot better. Hoping to go soon.

[@wheeliesforyourfeelies2860]

Thanks man! Honestly dude a hardtail would be perfect at these trails. Unfortunately I don't have one right now. Hope you have a great ride there!

[@JohnDoe-mc7op]

@@wheeliesforyourfeelies2860 Do you think a trail bike would be more suited to this park than an enduro? I live near the park and I’m purchasing my first full suspension specifically for this park

[@SkateOrDie666]

DUDE I'm stoked to hear this. I have a Honzo and a Process - maybe I'll bring both! I'm going for the first time tomorrow Dope vid

[@ChrisGranata]

this place is constantly improving to! only getting better and better.

[@TheTomasie]

From WH, living in Ca. Going home in the fall. Can't believe "WE," have a bike park w a lift!! Sweet!!

[@sudharoy1639]

Great stuff. Enjoy the adrenaline rush! Sudipto.

[@wheeliesforyourfeelies2860]

[@FloridaTrailrider]

Nice riding guys!

[@wheeliesforyourfeelies2860]

Thanks!

[@chuckriley2764]

you cat's were flying i have never been there going to check it out soon...see you out there

[@connorpoirier2912]

You should come check out my local forest theirs some crazy stuff up here, nepaug

[@rajkandhari2745]

thanks for the suggestion, nepaug is sick af I've gone there a couple times. The freeride jumpline is a little over my skill level for now tho!

[@robredman8537]

Nepaug has some fun stuff if you look for it.

[@horse7556]

omg i have been trying to find a good place with jumps and now i am so happy

[@MTBZenMaster]

Yo, Nice rip Dude, I need to go record some of these trails soon! Thunder mt lift pass get sold out. Looks like Powder is stepping up their game. -Sam

[@KingSolrac]

This is sick!

[@VentureMTB]

Nice video and great riding! I’m on Long Island and am definitely thinking of making the trip up to Powder Ridge. Do you know if they rent out full face helmets there? And have you heard good or bad things about there rental bikes?

[@wheeliesforyourfeelies2860]

They do rent out full face helmets, although I'm not sure about how their rental bikes are. They look pretty decent (off -brand company) and if there is a problem the mechanics are happy to fix it. Have a great time!

[@newbiect]

I tried this for first time dmb yesturday. I was terrified lol

[@GMK28]

my first video here came out so bad the angle was at the ground the whole time lmao I definitely will use a chesty from here on out

[@marchochheim8299]

Nice man👌🏼🔥

[@wheeliesforyourfeelies2860]

Thanks dude!

[@GMK28]

aye epic!! lets ride sometime

[@plussizeriderlifeshardbike9318]

What tires are you running up front? And rear

[@Arcticfawksie]

You live in ct too? I’m ready for a shreddy

[@Sk8Riffer]

Yooo, were you up last Saturday? I'm pretty sure I saw that bike there. I was there on a red glory and my buddy had a white v10. Place is sick. I filmed a vlog from that day if you're interested. I'll link it. Sick riding my dude 🤘

[@wheeliesforyourfeelies2860]

Thanks dude! and nah I haven't been back for a couple months (at college) but respect for the sweet bikes haha. I'll make sure to check out your video. We should def collab some time next season tho, your riding videos are great and I'm sure we can get some sick footage together at a park🤘

[@Sk8Riffer]

@@wheeliesforyourfeelies2860 hell yeah man, I'm so down! Quick question, is that a deity locust stem?

[@wheeliesforyourfeelies2860]

TheWoodsman Im pretty sure it is, tho it’s been a long time since I got the bike so I’m not 100% sure if that’s the exact model. Def looks like it tho

[@Sk8Riffer]

@@wheeliesforyourfeelies2860 yeah I think it is. I actually just ordered one. Had it a while ago and miss it

[@joshuadonahue1756]

Is it a good place to go for first timers?

[@hpiproceed97pcp20]

Where is this exactly?

[@thatonemonkey.]

What’s the location of it?

[@smokeyrodrigues8758]

What name of trail

[@bikeguycody]

Where in CT is that?

[@charliesrandomthings5457]

Middlefield

[@bikeguycody]

@@charliesrandomthings5457 thanks 🙏 🤙🏻

[@JohnDoe-mc7op]

How much suspension do you think is ideal for this park?

[@SkateOrDie666]

134 and above prob

[@Savage-on1pc]

Last time I went the condition was way better compared to your video

[@wazega3610]

bike needs a good tuning

[@jonahcourtemanche1312]

God ( Jesus Christ. ) Will Always Be With You Forever And Forever And Forever And Forever For All Eternity..

[@I53-624]

Do you have to wear a full face here

[@wheeliesforyourfeelies2860]

I don't think so, although I would recommend it

[@jonahcourtemanche1312]

Thank- You God, Thank - You God, Thank - You God, Thank - You God..

[@owenf1142]

Powder is so poorly built and small. Thunder is ten times as better

[@gniewkomalecki596]

There's only so much you can do with only 550 feet of elevation from the base :/

[@rajkandhari2745]

Yes but you need to take all the barriers the park faces into consideration: CT's topography, how new the park is, etc.. For the amount of barriers this park has, they are doing a pretty solid job for now and the park definitely shows potential. Also, this is an oasis when considering the closest dh park is over 3 hours away from many people in CT.

[@owenf1142]

Raj Kandhari Idc bout run lengths and where it is rly. The “flow” trails r just covers in loose rock that almost kill u every ten seconds and there jumps r just not built well. The medium jump line is so poorly built. One just is hard to clear and then the next u way overshoot and the last is way to hard to clear for most riders. The large line when I rode it was very hard to get speed for. The step up on it was also very hard to clear and I saw only a couple rides myself included b Able to clear it. They just need to do maitnence on their trails and they’d b fine but they don’t seem to care enough to fix what isn’t right. Sure it’s cheap and close but I’d rather drive and extra hour for some proper trails

[@rajkandhari2745]

owen f ngl kinda agree with u on those points, they are really hard to clear, although I don’t mind the flow trails that much. Again I just think it’s a fun spot for locals but I can’t afford to drive over an hour more to ride thunder every week

[@owenf1142]

Raj Kandhari yea. It serves its purpose once or twice a year for a chill day. The dh race there will b interesting.
