Great videos! Cannot wait to be up there riding/running the trails!

[@porschephiliac4356]

Awesome! We're going to ride this tomorrow morning!

[@garyharmon5386]

Awesome video and riding. Sure look like fun trails. Pedal safe

[@drewsky1967]

going to be coming up soon to rid these ! i watch all your FLG trail vids, there the best on youtube

[@LVL60Beltran]

You should do a video of the new Lunar Tide trail. A lot of it has been rerouted from when it was Jedi

[@DonaldRidesBikes]

I just saw that the other day, I didn't even realize Jedi was being rerouted, just happened to be looking at that area on Trailforks and noticed it was gone / renamed. I'll definitely be checking it out soon though. Do you know if they kept the drops and switchbacks from Jedi, or is that all gone?

[@LVL60Beltran]

@@DonaldRidesBikes the two drops and tight switchbacks are not on the new trail. There is a new drop that you could really send if you wanted to and some new rock features. The trail is much less janky than Jedi was and less technical. It was in great shape when I rode it Saturday, no snow or mud

[@DonaldRidesBikes]

@@LVL60Beltran Awesome, I might check that out this weekend!

[@jessebarrett7017]

is the road open to get to the top?

[@DonaldRidesBikes]

It's still closed to motorized traffic, but you can bike it!

[@Mister3Pac]

This is in Arizona?

[@DonaldRidesBikes]

Yep! Arizona has wildly different climates depending which part of the state you are in and what elevation you are at.

[@Mister3Pac]

@@DonaldRidesBikes that is amazing! What a gorgeous state, cheers from Michigan!

Hey boss I live in flag and am about to buy my first MTB bike what’s the best beginner trail in flag?

[@DonaldRidesBikes]

If you have never mountain biked at all, I would start with something very easy and not a ton of elevation, like the Campbell Mesa loops, or Soldiers Trail at Fort Tuthill. After that, most of what's in this video are great beginner options. In order of increasing difficulty, I would say Chimney, Lower Moto, then Schultz Creek. If you're on the east side of town, AZT Sandy Seep is another good one, similar in difficulty to Lower Moto.

@@DonaldRidesBikes yeah never been on a MTB before but before Covid I raced bmx for a bit dont know if that experience helps much though lmao anyways thanks for the list 🤙

[@DonaldRidesBikes]

@@cdcd4264 In that case, with your BMX background, I'd say skip Campell Mesa and Soldiers Trail, just go to Fort Tuthill Bike Park and ride the flow/jump lines and pump track to get a feel for your MTB, then hit some trails after that!

[@cdcd4264]

@@DonaldRidesBikesradical appreciate the feedback 🙏

[@benjaminhrabina4194]

Yup, Soldiers Trail. Fort Tuthill bike park is awesome.
