The Most EPIC Kitsuma Biking Adventure And Wreck!

Kitsuma? More like KitZooma! Join me today as I explore the adrenaline-pumping trails of Pisgah National Forest first with the iconic Kitsuma trail and newly minted Bernard Mountain trail near Old Fort, NC. Kitsuma, renowned for its high-speed thrills and challenging sections, offers an exhilarating blend of flow and technical prowess. Meanwhile, Bernard Mountain, a well built machine-built trail, delivers silky-smooth rides and seamless flow that are a joy to experience.
Nestled in the heart of Pisgah, this region isn't just about the trails; it's a haven for breathtaking scenery that unfolds with every climb. Despite a heart-pounding close call during a high-speed section, I emerged unscathed, thanks to the capable Revel Rail 29 Enduro bike from Gravello Workshop in Asheville, NC. Equipped with top-tier Cane Creek Helm Fork and Kitsuma Shock, this setup proved its mettle on the rugged terrain.
Join me as I navigate these trails, capturing the essence of mountain biking in one of North Carolina's most scenic locales. Whether you're a seasoned rider seeking new challenges or a beginner eager to explore, Pisgah promises an unforgettable adventure at every turn.

Sick ride!

[@WanderingWheeliesMTB]

It's one of my Top 3 favorite trails for sure!

[@bubbastank3108]

You're flyin dude! Good to see there is a place to rent Revel near Pisgah

[@WanderingWheeliesMTB]

Thank you! The bike absolutely rips! It has all the cane creek suspension on it so and was super plush! Go check it out before I end up buying it from them haha!

[@travelthenarrowtrail8660]

Sweet Bike man! I never rode there and wanted to. I used to live in Knox and all my buddies just wanted to do Brevard. Not that Brevard is a bad spot but wanted to ride Kitsuma. Great video man.

[@WanderingWheeliesMTB]

Thank you so much! Brevard is great but there are so many other spots to ride that are amazing. I honestly don’t go to Brevard that much just because I prefer less crowds. Old Fort is kindling of turning into a “mini” Brevard with all the new trails and breweries/restaurants popping up in town!

That tree at @14:10 always comes out of nowhere.

[@WanderingWheeliesMTB]

Right!? I raced on that trail once and it was raining on race weekend and that whole section turns into wet, slippery clay! I slid right into that tree haha!

[@coryartrip8142]

Just stumbled across this. Good to see you're still out shredding. I remember hiking around there with you about a decade ago. Maybe I'll see you out there sometime.

[@WanderingWheeliesMTB]

No way that’s awesome! Your name definitely rings a bell! Glad you found the channel! Are you riding these days?

@@WanderingWheeliesMTB I'm back in the area after traveling for a while. I rode a few laps at Unaka this morning. Moonsault has some big lines.
