Rockward Files - Vietnam: Classic NEMTB Spot

I met up with my buddy Chris for a tour of Vietnam in Milford, Mass; a classic New England MTB riding spot.

Where do you think would be a good spot for a Rockward Files episode?

[@BeataDrumm]

Ames Nowell in Abington has come cool rock sections and of course power lines.

[@eddieokeefe5826]

Batchelor Street(rocky tech), Granby mass, you can add in Earls Trails (not rocky but super fun)while you're there for an all day adventure, check them out on trail forks, both trail systems are right next door to each other but offer totally different terrain, located about 15 minutes from Zoomass Ahhmerst dood!!

[@nicksahl391]

wompatuck, several different parts.

[@BigMikeSRT]

Goat Hill!

[@MTBZenMaster]

Oh Yeah! comedy, New England tech, and a howling, laughing wideo guy. Great riding Thom! :-)

[@briankennedy9040]

One of the best videos of 'Nam I've seen. Nice skills btw!

[@owencurtin1172]

This may be your best video. Thanks you. Saving route now.

[@francissola5591]

Great vid. I loved the sound of the tires on the rocks up close. I miss Nam and NE!

[@zxtenn]

WOW, you guys have excellent skills, strong riders and are in SERIOUS shape! I do 10 miles on a BLUE trail and I am pretty well baked but I am 64.. I will be out this weekend trying to maintain or improve, got some new STAMP 11 pedals for my 2019 RM Instinct BC edition, pedals are nice and light at 300 grams

[@SeelanManickam]

just discovered your channel!!! Love it as another Masshole

[@JustSnowglow]

Those rocks are SICK dude. Can't wait for the rocks to thaw and dry here in VT

[@Adoogin]

After talking line b at 8:09 you're confronted with 'only A' at 8:10, that was sweet

[@srich8251]

Great video! Been wanting to go there for some time hopefully this will be the year.

[@bugeye72]

Wow! That is some fantastic stuff there! Going to have to drive down there someday

[@ThomasAckerson33]

Great tour!

[@robertengelter5684]

Looks like an awesome spot Dude!

[@kingrat738]

Duh-ooh'd!! Those trails are wicked 🤘

[@wheatthinbecker]

exactly the kinds of videos I want!! good tours of good trail systems, i want to ride more places this season, not just the local trails 👊🏻👍🏻

[@troycarpenter3675]

Awesome retro soundbite!

[@bugeye72]

Miss your videos, buddy!

[@scottnormand5858]

Great rockumentary as always. Feel so much better about myself knowing other dyudes chicken out on some of that gnar. My wife and I absolutely love that place. Top five for us but that will probably change after the trips to Moab, Sedona and Whistler but ya nevah know🙏

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

Looked like a good long ride.

[@soarstar]

I love some of these shots, you kin imagine the line you might attempt :)

[@JustRideZipp2001]

Killa video !

[@brianforestal6929]

Awesome video! Thanks Tom, Chris and JRA...

[@zxtenn]

Were you guys using 32 or 30 front sprocket? MAD climbing power

[@nenadonatella3036]

I've 'rediscovered' Vietnam with two visits over the past year. Still feel like I can't find the good stuff. About 40% of that looks familiar, the other 60% I don't recognize at all. 15 miles of grunge is about twice my limit.

[@nenadonatella3036]

Crap, just checked out your Strava. 2-1/2 hours, 14 miles, and 1200 ft of climbing over crazy tech and you only burned 860 calories!!?? I weigh 215-220, that'd be a 2500 calorie effort every time. #neverridingwiththisguy ;-)

[@chrisberry2142]

great video are u guys clipped or flats just curios

[@DirtWireTV]

Chris Berry I only dabble with flat pedals. Clipless the majority of the time. Chris is clipped in as well.

[@patrickmurphy7458]

Which street is that parking lot on? I was there today and parked next to Garrett’s market on Cedar and rode up the pipeline. I’d like to start where you guys did.

[@ASDproductions6]

They parked here: goo.gl/maps/v2yRwY2AfqyMMYtS8 My advice is to park at the Adams Street lot in Holliston

[@NateScan]

Do you use trailforks as well, or just strava?

[@DirtWireTV]

I use Trailforks a little. Mostly when I'm out west.

[@PeepMeRide]

So many rocks dude!

[@BigMikeSRT]

Wait....no C4 or Mind the Gap drop!!!! Violation!! :D :D

[@boardbruising5543]

Did y’all hit the drop on the Giggidy trail. The is the gnarliest drop I’ve seen. Still haven’t hit it.

[@ASDproductions6]

Which one are you talking about? There are at least 15 gnarlier drops throughout Nam

[@boardbruising5543]

Andrew Dague I’m not sure if it’s even a drop but it’s at the end of the trail named Giggidy. I took a nasty spill trying to ride it.

[@ASDproductions6]

@@boardbruising5543 There's a sizable roller at the end of that trail, could be that. I ride there all the time and only know of one drop on that trail, kind of at the end I guess

[@boardbruising5543]

Andrew Dague it is probably a roller. I just never know how to approach it.

[@TimCalvin]

GOAT Bike reference FTW.

[@DirtWireTV]

Related: I am the proud owner of a Bomber. Riding it always makes me happy.

[@TimCalvin]

@@DirtWireTV I've still got an Imperial frame hanging in the garage. Weird to see transitions in Vietnam- I suppose it's been... awhile... since I've ridden there. Time to take a trip, methinks.

[@lizpagels4980]

guns n roses

[@RockyPondProductions]

Used to think that stuff was so big back in the day. Vietnam looking like it's in rough shape
