One of the Most Scenic Rides I've Done - Hobbs State Park

[@BigVanLittleAdventures]

My love of MTB came from just exploring the woods while camping as a kid. I've come to enjoy a lot of different aspects of riding but i still find exploring new areas the most satisfying.

[@CobraKyle]

It's one of my favorite aspects too. Going somewhere new and just venturing off to see where all the trails lead.

[@ts1677]

Thanks for the video. I love all your work.

[@CobraKyle]

Thanks so much! That's very kind of you to say!

[@harrygrimley4352]

I agree. Most peoples idea of mnt biking is generally just trail riding. Those trails you shared with us looked very fun. You have the same habit as me. I laugh when a feature surprises me. Very pretty area.

[@CobraKyle]

Such a beautiful place to ride! Laughter is the best medicine! I laugh when I almost get wrecked too lol

[@vicd5004]

Wow, impressive scenery and biking too! I can see why you enjoy it so much. Autumn there will be beautiful!! Enjoy!

[@MTBActionCam1]

I agree! I enjoy riding these types of trails too. Nice cruise through the woods!! Great video

[@CobraKyle]

Thanks so much!

[@thim8009]

Need to get down to your new back yard. It's about 9 hours south for me.

[@CobraKyle]

Well worth the drive! It's a great place to check out.

[@huntstyle]

Glad to see you are enjoying the new home! And I would agree, this is the essence of mountain biking. Most of my rides look similar to this up here, but more elevation and fast DH! 😁

[@CobraKyle]

Dude I'm loving it here! Hope you can visit soon. We have some unfinished business on Thunderdome! I do wanna check out Idaho riding someday. Looks really fun.

[@huntstyle]

@@CobraKyle Haha, yeah now that they covered up that ditch better, perhaps I won't crash this time! Since you work remote, you could travel whenever! But for now, there's still snow on the big mountain trails up here.

[@oklahotb3217]

Those are an enjoyable ride. I'm doing something similar on Sunday. Going by myself, taking a lunch, and riding on general MTB trail through the woods.

[@CobraKyle]

The solo rides are great sometimes! Enjoy yourself!

[@RunBikeMike]

I am planning on coming to Bville on the 9th. Hope to ride hand cut hollow.

[@CobraKyle]

Sweet! I rode Handcut Hollow for the first time last weekend. It's a cool spot. Give me a shout when you're in town!

[@RunBikeMike]

@@CobraKyle will do 👍🏻

[@johnnydoe66]

Like you, I don't think there's anything wrong with machine built flow, dh, and jump lines, but I myself prefer natural terrain, techy sections, and just being out in the woods away from civilization. I have went on trails that were literally unridleable and I had to either push or carry my bike , but I still had fun. I did a ride once that took me three and a half hours to go 13.5 miles, and almost 3 of it was hike-a-bike.....loved it.

[@CobraKyle]

I love it all! I've always strived to be a well rounded rider. I guess that's why I haven't mastered any one riding skill lol. Me going off on that little tangent in the video was prompted when I asked some locals what the best mountain bike trails were in the region, and all they talked about were jump lines. That's cool and all, but I didn't ask where the best jumps were lol.

[@johnnydoe66]

@@CobraKyle I think the newest crop of riders seem to be all about dh and jump lines. I am more old (just a bit old at 55) school and just enjoy the challenge of riding and earning the ups and the downs. I was never really into jumping or doing big drops.

[@ChrisCXK]

It was nice to see another riding video! I want to see more since you live in such a great place for it. I’d love that trail. Maybe I can actually devote a decent amount of time to stay there and ride a few different areas.

[@CobraKyle]

Yeah it's been a while for a POV ride video! Felt like the old days. This was a really chill and fun trail to cruise around on. You absolutely need a couple weeks here to see a bit of everything. Weather has been questionable since I moved here, but looking forward to exploring more as we get deeper into spring/summer.

[@eatnosenuggets]

This is exactly my ideal mountain biking. I'm not droppy, jumpy, parky at all.

[@CobraKyle]

Right on! I like it all!

[@eugene44569]

you have to take the wheels off when u transport ur bike in a brz lol. get a rack

[@CobraKyle]

haha yeah. It's kind of a pain, but works for now. I have a hitch rack, but they don't make a hitch receiver for this car yet.

[@chirpee11]

Nice! What app do you use for trail info? Thanks

[@CobraKyle]

Thank you! I use Trailforks

[@eugene44569]

funny that the trail is named timberjack like the bike you sold

[@CobraKyle]

haha I even said that when riding, but I cut that part out.

[@praetorian5499]

SICK! - grady

[@CobraKyle]

Thank you Grady!

[@Themagoo]

I noticed no transit connect? Did you sell it?

[@CobraKyle]

Yeah I did back in November. Due to the car shortage I made an $8,000 profit from selling my van. Loved the thing, but seemed like a once in a lifetime opportunity to make that much money on a used van haha.

[@Themagoo]

@@CobraKyle I hear ya dude! I sold my truck for the same reason. Save van life for another time. I bought myself a hybrid with plans to hit as many trails as I can this year. Love the videos dude!

[@eugene44569]

do you think the top fuel is enough travel? or do u needs something bigger

[@CobraKyle]

I think the Top Fuel is pretty perfect for me. Haven't run into any scenario yet where I wished for more travel. When riding longer travel bikes, I've said I wish I had less travel haha

[@dandemore8057]

I could do those doubles

[@CobraKyle]

You know I'd like to see that!

[@ryanrayburn1894]

Many different disciples of MTB, but I think MTB at its purest and most traditional is definitely what you were doing on Karst Loop. However... whether you want to admit it or not, you were clearly having 10 times more fun on the downhill tracks... just sayin.

[@CobraKyle]

haha I mean I'll admit I was having a more thrilling time whilst on Timberjack and Sawtooth. Karst loop was exciting in a "connecting with nature" kind of way lol

[@ryanrayburn1894]

@@CobraKyle i'll take that as a half admission... either way both disciplines are fun and worth doing
