[@JakeSpeakman]

Thanks! Rough go is one of my favorites.

[@jzdyrko]

Nice work Jake! I need to make it out there one day. It’s on the list!

[@JakeSpeakman]

Thanks my man! Annadel is amazing! Whenever you head out there HMU I know the area very well!

[@thinkmtb1548]

At 1:42 you made that damn rock look easy.

[@JakeSpeakman]

It wasn’t always easy...Still isn’t 😆

[@angeloco5111]

Good video. I just recently discovered Smokin Aces definitely a fun short trail!

[@JakeSpeakman]

Thanks dude! One of my favorites!

[@alansarpy]

Best local MTN bike channel bro ! I just got a bike will and live in Sonoma county … Can’t wait to try’ these out

[@JakeSpeakman]

Thanks dude!! I love highlighting our amazing Bay Area trails, happy to be your virtual guide! You must be stoked on your new bike, have fun bro!

[@alansarpy]

Jake … what trail do you feel is best for a intermediate rider to practice their skills at anadel … I feel like a few trails, I was in over my head… I feel like south Burma was at my limit

[@alansarpy]

@@JakeSpeakman yeah I’ve been riding road for ever … Now on a mountain bike it definitely takes a bit confidence to actually see what they can handle … My mind is telling me NO .. But the bike just goes over rocks like nothing lol

[@JakeSpeakman]

@@alansarpy Try channel trail, then ride up Richardson to South Burma. That’s a good route to practice, as you get more confident add North Burma as well.

Thanks for sharing! I was hoping you'd share the Cobblestone climb (full video or at least show those really tech sections). I've climbed that trail once just few months ago and I tried to do a no dab/non-stop but I couldn't clear one section. This section I think was after the off-camber boulder that you had to climb up and over. I think it was after that section. Anyway, I want to try doing the full Rough-Go climb next time. I've only done portion of it (after Cobblestone). I usually only go down it. Also, on your video around 6-8 mins mark, it looks like its Rough-Go. I've descended that like 7x in the last 10 years, recent was few months ago and I don't remember it being that Rocky. Maybe because I'm looking down at it on your video? Usually I look up/ahead and staring at those rocks looks sketchy AH. lol Santa Teresa County Park in San Jose also have nice Tech climbs that I think you'd enjoy.

[@JakeSpeakman]

Thanks for watching dude! I really appreciate it! I’ve only cleaned Cobblestone maybe once or twice, it’s a beast. Rough Go is a rocky demon, go ride it now to jolt your memory haha!

[@bongoandmusta]
