Scouting New MTB Features for 2025: Future Send Goals!

[@singletrackbandit]

Have you ridden any of these features before? I'd love to hear about your experience in the comments! Also, if you have any trick suggestions, drop them below!

That's how you do it, line them up and then tick them off your list. I will often take photos of features I want to come back to. I think your brain visualizes clearing these jumps in your subconscious, and then it is way easier when you come back to it next time.

[@singletrackbandit]

That's awesome! I usually take photos too, but this time I decided to make a video to hold myself accountable. Plus, I think it helps show people the direction I want to take things. What features are on your list?

[@evanmolina04]

Thanks for respecting the trail work. Might look bigger but it’s just a hole that was filled. If you’re sending tree line, you got it.

[@singletrackbandit]

No problems. I appreciate all the work the builders do. They keep them running awesome. Once it’s fully running again I will get back up there

[@Magnum177]

Nice vid, Good Luck on these features, def above my comfort level! I like the new vid format and the PIP is well very done!

[@singletrackbandit]

Cheers mate!! It gives me something to aim towards this year. Thanks for the feedback. Changing it up a little for 2025!!

[@slowerwithdonuts]

Good goals for 2025! You made incredible progress in 2024. I’m confident that you’ll accomplish many of these goals, if not all of them, by the end of the year.

[@singletrackbandit]

Thanks, I hope so!! You need to make your list when you’re back on your bike. What’s the number one goal for this year?

[@slowerwithdonuts]

@@singletrackbandit Right now it's to pick up where I left off in 2024. I was very happy hitting that gap jump, it felt great. Just progressing from there.

[@singletrackbandit]

@ awesome. We need to send more gaps!!!

[@orangeglovesmtb]

Great goals! Mine are a bit simpler but wanna ride more of the UCSC trails

[@singletrackbandit]

UCSC is a great training ground. So many awesome trails. We still need to come down and ride together.

[@orangeglovesmtb]

@ I’m ready anytime you guys are!

[@singletrackbandit]

@ we can arrange something when @slowerwithdonuts is back riding. Hopefully it will be soon.

[@orangeglovesmtb]

@@singletrackbandit I didn’t know he was hurt. Hopefully he is back on the bike soon

[@WonTONgaming218]

hell yeah dude! ill roll with you!

[@singletrackbandit]

Thanks! What are your local trials. Have you ridden any of these features?

[@WonTONgaming218]

@@singletrackbandit I go to waterdog a lot. Ive been to cattlehill in pacifica, tamarancho and china camp. i crashed in mile and never went back...

[@singletrackbandit]

@@WonTONgaming218 Waterdog is cool. It had quite a lot of hikers when I went. Yeah the mile is a tough trial.

[@asewamu]

Pacifica is proper knar. I’ve hit the step up many times but never the treeline jumps.

[@singletrackbandit]

The last few times I’ve tried that step up I’ve come a little bit short. Haven’t tried it in a while though. The first few jumps on Treeline weren’t as bad as I thought they would be.

[@asewamu]

@ I cased it a few times on my e-bike. But was able to clean it on my status 160. It took almost 1000 watts in 12th gear on the run up since I wasn’t properly using the jumps for speed. It shoots you so high tho 😆

[@singletrackbandit]

@ that sounds awesome 😂. I’ve only ever tried it on my Bronson. Looking back I think my bike may not have been set up right for them. I tweaked my suspension since but never went back to try it. Once everything is running properly I will give it a go.
