Sun Valley, Idaho's Best Mountain Bike Trails | First Impressions

[@rstrakovsky]

As an east coast rider, these kinds of smooth wide open super fast trails blow my mind. Who needs a dirt bike when you can braap at > 20 mph on your mountain bike. Looks like so much fun!!

[@offdaystv]

“Smooth” until you get out there and realize the brake bumps are ridiculous

[@shawnconrad9292]

I was Sun Valley/Ketchum in ‘02. We went based on an article in Bike Mag. The climbing was crushing,but man was it fun(except for the rattlesnake that I ran over while he was sunning hisself on the trail. Boy was he pissed off!). We did an amazing ride in Jackson Hole on our way back home. That was a great trip! Looks like a lot has changed there since then.

*I love this bike. Besides **Latest.Bike** being kind of heavy, I have no complaints. It was delivered a day early in great shape and it is a blast to ride*

[@ryanskinner8789]

Good to see Kyle back online, dude rips!!

[@brodymorgan6210]

I was there just lasted weekend, amazing trails, beautifulplace

[@Dilltron-vn1pi]

At 1:40 they both hit the same jump. One of them has a silent landing... one of them sounds a lot like how I land every time. Super cool to see how clean and smooth he rides.

[@CGF101]

I live in Idaho and sun valley is top 5 best mtb in the country for sure!!

[@unknownKnownunknowns]

Thx for the heads up. Rode all of these other than bike park. The trail to Alden - Osbergs Ridge- is all time! My buddy did em all w me on his Gravel road bike. Epic!

[@dgsams]

Pinkbike, This was awesome! Those Trails were awesome looking and the scenery was beautiful! Kyles in Boise now, so it gives you a good excuse to ride with him in another new place in Idaho!!

[@burpethead]

The three trails they did add up to like 7,000 ft climbing and they dont even look tired. just got back from Sun Valley / Ketchum and it was amazing. Every ride at least ~ 2,000 ft climbing so it can be limiting for normies. Sawtooth Lake even more amazing for backpacking.

[@Johnsmith-lh7mw]

It'd be pretty cool if Jason and that guy from Mahalo My Dude, did collabs together

[@shooter7a]

1:20 Actually the worlds first chairlift was built in Nebraska. Union Pacific Railroad built the world’s first chairlift at its new Sun Valley Resort in 1936 based on a design by their lead bridge engineer. The two original single chairs were fabricated in the rail yards of Omaha and installed on Dollar and Proctor Mountains in time for the 1936-37 ski season. But as far as being the worlds first working chairlift that carried people...yes. As for the name...yes...it is that Proctor, as in Proctor and Gamble. The Proctor family still owns lots of property in and around Sun Valley.

[@trailblazeratv6306]

So happy I live 2-3 hours from there

[@allenjanes5976]

Yeah me too. Was just there last weekend for a cross country race. Had a great time.

[@tylernicholls917]

I had no idea that Rossignol manufactured bicycles! they make great skis

[@Wizler71]

Me either!

[@TimMaddux]

How does Kyle see where he's going? His bike is always in the way.

[@trevorbelmont226]

Sweeeet! Excellent video. May be moving to the area. Need to try this trail .

[@accestos]

EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!

[@LiftedAdventures]

[@RunRideHikeThrive]

Sweet, good riding foshow, much appreciate it guys 👍🏻

[@budgreen6966]

Not enough awkward high fives

[@pinkbike]

If there's one thing I'm confident we can deliver more of in the future...

[@Liltman94]

Going up there this weekend

[@umpy5083]

Jason pls make more on Mahalo my Dude!!

[@loganbothman2583]

Check out Jug Mountain sometime.

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

Looks like some nice flow trails, but that black diamond is blue at most.

[@jessetrue2401]

I have officially decided I want silent hubs after hearing Kyle slam down those trails and hearing almost nothing but the wind and the tires.

[@jefferypowell1461]

This is awesome I’m looking to move there from China of all places. Can’t wait to get dirty.

[@switchflip9550]

who forgot Rossignol didn't just make skis?

[@petayV8]

Im moving to Boise from NorCal next year also. I rented a bike out there a few months ago i was blown away.

[@toketokepass]

that was sick

[@nikoshieh5225]

I rode forbidden fruit about a month ago, super fun flow trail 🤘

[@dipparoni]

JASONNNNNNNN IS BACCKKKKKK

[@suurkonn]

[@passthecash]

[@1.0fishing17]

[@brettneuberger6466]

How bout a few low tens thrown in for variety please.

[@themonkeydoo3]

dammit Jason! im going on Saturday, I would have loved to meet you!

[@donotrobme9295]

New biker here. Are u just showing the trail after u bikes it to the top. Or do I drive to the top and then shuttle up. Or Loop back around so half the trail is coasting and half is uphill or how does it work. Thx. Sorry about the ignorance

[@donotrobme9295]

Oh. The last trail I saw the ski lift. We’re all of em with lifts? Thx

[@xxjoshxx9493]

Who loves smooth trails

[@Rytmouse]

[@dgsams]

[@erikjpendleton]

BRAAAAP 🤘

[@grahamfox3548]

Jason come back!!!

[@masonrudolph7249]

13 minutes of mike levy | first impressions

[@joshkerr48]

Jason come baaaack....

[@Potz4pizza]

Mahalo

[@hadrienberthet2575]

What's his bike? It seems like it's written "rossignol", which makes mtb apart from ski equipment but not this model.. strange

[@AprilRideMTB]

The bike I am on is a prototype Rossignol. 140mm travel 29 inch wheels. Rossignol bought Felt Bicycles about two years ago and has been working with them to learn the bike business. This is the first all new Rossignol and I have been having a lot of fun on it. They will primarily be focusing on the ski resort rental and fleet bike market but they have some awesome new models coming down the line! Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@TimMaddux]

Yep, it's a Rossignol, which bought Felt last year. Check out Kyle's IG feed and you can find his photo of the bike he's riding, a 140mm 29er.

[@therealsteen]

@@AprilRideMTB Great info, dude! Look forward to seeing them grow

[@actionsonobj]

Really sad what happened to Kyle, such a nice guy

[@mikekonn3456]

I grew up in Ketchum, Idaho about 1.5 miles +/- from Sun Valley, Idaho. Graduated high school in Hailey (1982). The trails in this video are on Bald mountain in Ketchum. Ended video chatting at the bottom of River Run in Ketchum. Sun Valley only has Dollar Mountain (hill). The great sking and mountain bike trails are in Ketchum NOT Sun Valley. Proud to be a Ketchum native.

[@donotrobme9295]

Thx for the technicality. Local pride I guess. But yes u r correct. Sun valley is the ski resort. There are towns there, and sun valley is a resort, not the towns

[@mikekonn3456]

@@donotrobme9295 Technicality? No, just accurate and a fact.

[@donotrobme9295]

Mike Konn once again, thx for the correction. I could almost never stop learning from u and look forward to it. How fun. Thx so much. Please keep sending knowledge.

[@cooperotoole6131]

Thanks Mike! In Sun valley now trying to figure out WTH they were riding! Lol

[@hunterb1855]

"Good trail to ride with gloves and a full face helmet." Jason has neither on.... hahaha

[@danielalbarracin7148]

Is this were Jason is wow so he’s not with iffy anymore

[@Luca-ft1kv]

He is still involved with it, just not as much as his pre pinkbike days. Like matt said, hes moved on and works for pinkbike, but he will still appear in some of the vids

[@huntii]

Looking for people to ride 😁

[@mattjax1330]

Get him a red camera like he is use to lol

[@varghessmith2985]

[@chrisgoellner1547]

[@jinavl]
