Northshore Trail Loops 1-4 | Flower Mound, Texas

[@StevenHitt]

Great video. I’m 55 and rode loops 1 & 2 today for the first time. Overall I enjoyed it very much. Many nice people who were more than willing to help a newbie. 👍

[@Over60MTB]

Glad you tried out NS East 1&2. A beautiful day and brought out the crowds. Parking lot at MADD was about as crowded as I've ever seen it.

56 yrs old, Appreciate the trail views. I just started riding the trail last week.

[@Over60MTB]

Thanks. It’s a great all-around trail.

[@MTBBoomer]

Enjoyed the video - good camera work. Best part though - another 60+ trail rider - like me. You also gave me ideas for my next video at Arbor Hills (my home base trail). Once I build up my endurance- I’m hitting NS 1-4, looks fun.

[@Over60MTB]

Great to hear!

[@DPinehurst]

One of the best NS videos I’ve seen. Thanks for filming all the tech features. Great riding for an old guy ;).

[@Over60MTB]

My home trail. Thanks for the feedback.

[@halfglassfull]

66 and "climbing". love some NS. Just hope she dries out before the summer is over.

[@Over60MTB]

No kidding.

Ive seen deer, coyotes, and linxes it seems every time I go riding.

Thanks for creating this channel!

[@Over60MTB]

You’re welcome. It’s a labor of love!

[@Ebbz2323]

Awesome! Loving the added commentary as you are riding! Really shows that you can get into mountain biking at any age, just gotta buy in and commit. Keep the uploads comin.

[@Over60MTB]

Going to have to check out the Northshore next time i'm in town!

[@Over60MTB]

It’s a fun trail!

[@PointatThings]

The drop in the beginning is a lot more intimidating in person.

[@Over60MTB]

I know. GoPro never quite does those hills justice.

[@ellohomes2]

absolutely is, but our guy makes it look EASY

[@OutdoorseyAdventures]

I’m 63 and just started riding a MTB…I love it. I ride the Wallke X3 Pro e-bike. What are your thoughts about mt-e-bikes? Great channel!

[@Over60MTB]

I didn't start mtb riding til age 52, but same as you - I love it. Personally I prefer a non-ebike because I max out my exercise time, but another POV is: whatever gets you outside and on the trail is the right answer for you!

[@Dozzyios]

Need to go for a ride just need a bike but don’t know which one bc don’t want to spend a lot of money. Knows these trails for 6 years

[@JayJuBo]

The shape id wanna be in after retirement lol

[@samuraioodon]

im a beginner to mountain bikes. i do gravel and road. i have a 2.1 wheelset for gravel bike, is that enough to do this? do you need dropper post? your vid shows pretty smooth pack and looks lots of fun...i'm looking to try this but wondering if you recommend for beginners. the hill climbing looks fun as well.

[@Over60MTB]

Yes you can ride your gravel bike on this trail, but you’ll quickly find most are riding full suspension mtn bikes. Safer and more comfy ride. As for beginner friendly - from a skill level perspective yes. But I personally would recommend Horseshoe, mostly green/blue and the dirt trail cuts across an asphalt rd (no cars) multiple times that allows jumping on/off the trail as you learn. I posted a vid on Horseshoe also. Good luck!

[@Bushwhacker909]

I started a month ago at age 63; I need all the encouragement I can get 😂. I never knew a 🦌 = 💩 😂

[@Over60MTB]

Welcome to the over 60 MTB club! If you haven't checked out Horseshoe Trail yet, give that one a try too. Great place to build skills.

[@albertobattaglino641]

I used to run on this trail. Or is there more than a northshore trail?

[@Over60MTB]

Just one in North Texas. Been here for decades.

when you get to rockledge park how do you get back to madd parcking lot

[@Over60MTB]

@@edge2991 Leaving Rockledge, the first 1/2 mile (ish) is 2 way, then you’ll hit the westbound side of Loops 4, 3, 2 & 1 (in that order). Loop 1 westbound ends at MADD.
