Dang, great editing in this one! Your videos have come a long way this year. Having just ridden Mammoth for the first time myself a few weeks ago, this vid really captured the good vibes.

[@mtb_alan]

Thanks! The additional cameras (Preston's and the vlog cam) have helped me step it up some. Yeah! Mammoth is good times!

[@billydeewilliams8909]

Incredible. Three days of park is beyond my endurance, at least so far. I spent three days at Northstar opening weekend this year, and I was incredibly beat that last day, such that I ended up landing on my face wearing my half-shell. No harm done in the end, but a suboptimal end to a very rad weekend.

[@mtb_alan]

Glad you were OK. Regular HIIT and weight training helps with MTB fitness.

Wow that is the 1st time I’ve seen any one at this bike park and seems like there are heaps of trails. Very dry and loose and love the wooden features 🤙🏼 great riding Alan 👊🏻

[@mtb_alan]

Thanks! Yeah, Mammoth is a big mountain and there's plenty of room to have a good time! With the shuttles and the village nearby, t's pretty easy to get around especially on the weekends when Chair 2 and 16 are running. Good stuff in Mammoth's village and good, hometown stuff in town.

[@RD1R]

Ayyy bruh glad you enjoyed our park! Some potential highlights if you come back next season- Shock Treatment, Velociraptor, and a full 3000+ft decent via all of Skid Marks and Juniper. Techno Rock is also sick and has drops like Velocity.

[@mtb_alan]

Sweet! Thanks. We did Skid Marks. Preferred it over Off the Top. Good times!

[@willienillie6337]

wow, nice trials

[@rfailing1]

nice! Can only dream of trails like this from an Eastern bound guy.

[@mtb_alan]

Just dream...or travel!

[@SesameBuns]

Great video, I went there mid-July and also had a blast. I missed out on a few trails though, so guess I’ll have to remember them (e.g. shotgun) for the next time. Thanks for showing the different trails.

[@mtb_alan]

Thanks! Heck yeah! Place is rad. I definitely have a bunch of more trails to hit next time.

[@elsendero3345]

There's 2 great trails out that way, lower rock creek 7miles long and an old skool wagon wheel trail w the best views and tech in that area.... great video!

[@mtb_alan]

Awesome! Thanks for the tips. Glad you dug the vid. 👊🏾

[@devonsmead]

Cool video, the eliminator is actually a bike trail and those berm jumps on twilight are quite easy if you just take them high at the start cut them low at the end.

[@mtb_alan]

Thanks for the tips!

[@HeatherMunive]

So fun!!!! I’m coming on the next mammoth trip 🥳

[@mtb_alan]

Yes! Missed ya out there.

[@willienillie6337]

Definitely some rad trails at Mammoth. On my list.

[@mtb_alan]

🤘🏾

[@nixonow]

Great video Alan. I ride there about 6 days a season and you do a great job of highlighting some of the main trails. I agree following a local that knows the lines on runs like Velocity and Follow Me will make for a great day. Also getting a feel for how to link the different trails efficiently without climbing will make for a fun day. If you ride on the weekends and chair 2 and 16 are spinning you should be able to get up and down the hill with no climbing at all, here is my go to main runs in each zone. Gondola to the top: -Off the top -Kamikaze (Eliminator) -Shock Treatment -White Bark -Richter Mid Runs (McCoy): -Velocity -Twilight Zone (Ride Chair 2 up and repeat) (Ride upper Brake Through and get over to Flow area) Chair 16 runs (Loop and link any of these runs): -Flow -Pipeline -Follow Me -Shotgun -Smooth Operator

[@mtb_alan]

Great tips! Our first day was Thursday, so we stayed near McCoy and at one point took Twilight Down to the bottom of chair 2 and grabbed a shuttle back to Main Lodge. But wow were we stoked on chair 2 and 16. At one point, the gondola had a line out the door, so we just rolled down the road to chair 2 and kept on rippin'. Thanks for the trail sequences. We did most of those. And I didn't realize Eliminator was Kamikaze. That's good to know. We missed Shock Treatment. I also wanna check out Chain Smoke, Techno Rock, Bullet DH, and DC-10. Though, those might still be above my pay grade. 😆

Very nice trails.

[@mtb_alan]

💯

[@owengray485]

Hey here's a quick tip that you may not know! If you want to get some quick runs in without paying, head out to the trails around 5:30 after the ticket checkers leave and you can just ride on in and shred the trails for free with no worries of getting caught! however you can only ride the lowers of all the trails because obv the gondola is shut down by that time. My favorite run had to be velocity (to) twilight zone (to) downtown (to) pipeline (to) shotgun. Hope you have/had a rad time out there!

[@mtb_alan]

Thanks for the tip. Sounds like the same kind of thing happens at a lot of bike parks. FWIW, I don't mind spending money and contributing to the rad trails I'm getting to enjoy. 🤘🏾

How’s mammoth compared to snow summit

[@gabeah]

Snow summit is 240 acres vs Mammoth is 3500 acres, and Mammoth has a summit 3000 feet higher in elevation. Mammoth is right around 14x larger, so really no comparison.

[@mtb_alan]

Mammoth is great for more gnarly trails and epic views. Summit has those sweet, perfect jump lines. Mammoth is more like killer lift access to more natural trails with some features and jumps thrown in. Snow Summit is more bike-park-y with manicured trails and jumps with some raw stuff thrown in. Both are a rad day!

[@MyCrazywhiteguy]

Alan, noticed you were wearing the Smith Mainline today but you also frequently wear a Fox. I’m looking to order a full-face this weekend so if you had to choose one, which would you suggest?

[@mtb_alan]

If you want a trail full-face, I'd suggest the TLD Stage. For a bike park full-face, get one that's DH rated and find the one that's comfortable and fits you well. Ideally, your local bike shop will have some you can try on. I always sacrifice some comfort for safety at the bike park since we're going so much faster and bigger there. The Smith Mainline is meant for both trail and the park as it's DH rated. I tried one on at The Path (my local bike shop) and dug how it fit and felt. I find it to be a bit too heavy for trail days, so it's my park lid. Hope that helps.

[@beintesaiz08]

Thats epic. Sub'd!

[@mtbboy1993]

1:09 No distortion lenses exist. I have one, so I don't have that issue. But I don't know if they fit the newer cameras. I have a GoPro Hero 7 with PeauPro87 3.37mm(19mm), it captures 87 degrees. I just chatted with them, the Hero 10 lens is glued on, they tried to remove it, but they can't without destroying the camera. So no hero10 for me then.
