I finally climbed Horsethief Drop and it was exhausting.

Horsethief Drop is a trail I wanted to climb for over 11 years. On my fourth visit I finally got it bottom to top without any dabs, I'm pretty stoked I made this climb but even more stoked I NEVER have to try it again!! lol
Check out the breakdown here:

[@rl9810]

This belongs in the youtube mountain biking hall of fame.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

lol thanks!

[@stevieboy4338]

2nd that!

[@travelthenarrowtrail8660]

Yeah, if you have never ridden this or "walked" it, you would really not understand just how sick this is.

[@mzimmerman123]

It doesn't count unless you ride across the wooden stakes at the barb wire....go back and do it again.

[@BCpov]

The one thing you don't mention if that you're doing all this at altitude! Makes it even harder! Congrats!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thanks, I spent the week leading up to it in Moab, I think that helped me acclimate a little.

[@netac7667]

"This Is How You Climb A Mountain On A Bike Without Turning The Pedals!" Truly amazing

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Netanel Charlap I turned them one or two times. Lol

[@corrupterd]

Going downhill will always be fun but it's easy to get tired of videos of people 'shredding' downhill these days. This video is a breath of fresh air. Way to go!

[@amadeosturla1863]

there is only one Trail Boss; the rest are merely managers.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

lolol . Thank you! Trail District Manager

[@fillfreakin2245]

Everyone else on that trail is like "doesn't that guy know this is a down trail?".

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

doh

[@vladimirp5260]

These are the sort of videos that should gather million plus views. What an achievement...one could really indulge into that sense of satisfaction you experienced once at the top. Its difficult to match your skills, yet you are such an inspiration. Kudos to you and do provide us with more such incredible videos.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Sujit Krishna thank you. Share my vids and maybe someday I’ll get there

[@radiocontrolled9181]

Unfortunately we are at the point where a 16-year old pea-brained Karen can get the number of views this masterpiece video has ..... in just a day or two, simply by wearing skimpy underwear and showing off her nice body to the world online. Not an ounce of talent is needed. Just a nice body shape and a pretty face given to them through no merit of their own.

[@rscimoch]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! It boggles my mind watching your bike skills. Something to be proud of. Well done Jeff!

[@parker6711]

If I was with that group going down I would have told them "I'll meet up with yall later" and then watch as a mtb legend does the most impressive climb ever!

[@hardtailparty]

What an incredible accomplishment Jeff!

[@kevinlooney8200]

You did it like a boss. Great job. Congratulations.

[@LiftedAdventures]

Dude Jeff, my heart was racing the whole time watching. I was also breathing heavy and holding my breath also.. so awesome man.

[@cellphonenut]

Wow Jeff this really puts things in perspective. Still can’t believe how you cleaned this you really separate the lines between the pros and the bro’s. Thanks so much for sharing had to watch this a couple times to really appreciate how hard it is

[@ervincornavaca9575]

This man is the REAL DEAL, your skills are out of this world.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thank you Ervin.

[@deslomator]

You're definitely the nicest rider I follow on KZbin; not to mention your skills. It made me soo happy watching you clean this; thanks.

[@armentekerian5545]

Congratulations and Thank You for this video - a gift I’ll never get tired of watching!

[@PedalingDave]

Very impressive Jeff! Congrats on a substantial achievement dude!

[@Joe2Jock]

I can't even ride down this as an intermediate, maybe advanced intermediate rider for several years lol. I went down to the first big step up that he came up today and cannot comprehend how someone could go up it!! This is beyond impressive!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thanks Joe, its really difficult in either direction!

[@jakebeaudrie]

You are literally the King of the Hill. Amazing! Well done, Sir.

[@bellacheng6612]

Really amazing climb unbelievable and hope you can produce more of these climbing videos to inspire us

[@matthewallen769]

Unbelievable! Nice job Jeff!

[@ederler3592]

Awesome. That looked totally exhausting! Great job!

[@kevinwooldridge8261]

Again...Awesome Jeff! Congrats and salutations!! I think maybe even Hans(Rey) would be impressed🤙. Ride On brother✌😻🚵

[@mtnjak]

I watched the other video yesterday. Now I'm watching this play by play version and in sitting here at my desk at work and I almost feel out of breath watching this! I was an avid mountain biker about 15-20 years ago now and just listening to Jeff breathe as he's ascending brings back memories of riding these very trails in Fruita, remembering that anaerobic stage during the ride(s) and remembering how much better shape I was in before a wife and 3 kids back at that stage of life!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

I have a wife and 3 kids as well, it's never too late to start! Especially if you focus on trials and tech riding you can do it with the kids!

[@mtnjak]

@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss the two oldest are 8 and 11. I actually got them their first mountain bikes this past year and they've gotten the bug a little. It helps keep me motivated to keep riding as well even though my single days of bike trips out west are a past memory. At least it's a healthy way to keep them outdoors away from screens.

[@RGCastro7]

Mad skills, Jeff! You rock, man.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

RGCastro7 thank you

[@malv173]

That was incredible! It looks sooooo hard. You absolute beast!

[@travisjohnson8210]

Gnarliest climb ever! I’ve looked at this descent/climb for years and I swear, all I see is places to bounce my head off of rocks when I fall. Epic work Sir!

[@Stobler72]

Epic! What an accomplishment. Great job.

[@2Philthy]

Wow!! Jeff, this and Brandon's 8600Ft film are prolly the best things I've seen and I watch a ton of KZbin MTB stuff. I watched some of your tips videos to work on skills little by little. I've been track standing and trying wheelies in my backyard amd mellow flat trails so they can hopefully translate to the mountain trails. The other day I went with a couple friends and we were climbing a rocky section and I got stuck trying to go around a rock/corner , but balanced in place, tossed my front tire in place to straight out and got through it without putting my foot down. It felt better than hitting a jump or a drop! Thanks so much for all the content and stories you share to help other people. Cheers sir!

[@haleyhansen6636]

Good job, Jeff! Interesting dry mountainous terrain. In wet Moscow last month, I ride on bushes in the mud and try to overcome wet fallen trees in the forest :-)

[@ShaneHarderPhoto]

You are absolutely amazing. This is the craziest thing I've ever ridden...er...walked my bike through. I'm so impressed.

[@3dSick]

@ 00:03:45 the lady sitting down wearing a helmet which is wearing a Mexican sombrero.. lol

[@nickberdebes8874]

Absolutely amazing! Best regards from Montreal!

[@trouthunter4250]

I watched your first attempt video earlier today and then came back to watch this one. Nothing you haven’t been told before, but this is unbelievable talent. Congratulations.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thanks Trout! Hope you check out some other vids as well!

[@nickstone7834]

Crazy good job!! I rode this trail when I rode Kokopelli trail but that was 6 years ago and I didn't dare climb up..so I have total respect for anyone making it up. Down is even hard as hell.!!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thanks Mark

[@kasparondrej2938]

I am out of breath just watching it! Amazing work! :D

[@TheMediocreMountainBiker]

Great work, Jeff. Congrats! There are probably only a handful of riders in the world who could probably do what you did. Awesome!

[@hael8680]

Any moon landing denier would scream "CGI" watching this. You are not the boss, you are the executive director, president and everything else in between! Amazing feat!!!

[@rekamniar]

This is insane. Watching people descend this feature looks hard enough... now Jeff Kendall Weed, its time to remake this

[@skoofer]

Whew, that was close. I almost wrote you off after that last video when you kept talking about the uncut, unedited run and then never showed it!!! Mad props, that was unreal!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

lol, I had to string it out a little!

[@cmhartle]

I watched this video a long time ago and today I was at horsethief for the first time. I have a whole new appreciation for this effort. Great job!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thanks Chad!

[@trails2ales254]

Really enjoyed the commentary - it adds to the experience to hear your thoughts. But that sombrero on the helmet... :-)

[@caseylevin2966]

Way to go Jeff! As a local rider in GJ, it is awesome to see your approaches to these awesome trails. Thanks!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thanks for Checking it out Casey

[@GoodTrails]

So sick! I really enjoyed the commentary too! Was expecting a bar spin out tho lol

Damn! With the exception of what those lunatics do at Red Bull Rampage, that is seriously the most impressive thing I've ever seen someone do on a bike! Congrats to you TB!

[@mikecartier6490]

Yesss Jeff! Such an epic feat.

I wanna see this become the ultimate challenge for all those who think they have the minerals!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

That would be rad!

[@mensuddevic8983]

I just rode there 2 days ago and had to check out that climb for myself. You are insane Jeff! I can't believe you didn't roll your tire off close to the end. Nice work.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thanks Scott, it was CLOSE!

[@jimseiler4651]

Sick!!! You're a master at your craft Sir! This really should go into the KZbin hall of fame.

Truly Epic and inspires me to push myself more on tech climbs, this was incredible to watch. I bet it's the best feeling in the world to do something of that magnitude 🔥🤙 After watching the "impossible climb"...and then seeing this, it makes the "impossible climb" look like child's play😅
