SESSIONFEST 🚵 Walnut Creek mountain biking Powerline Hill & Endo Valley in Austin TX

[@frankkruemmel-me]

My friend Mark Henneke built / put Walnut on the map in the late 1990' - Only a few people then knew about the trails. Went down the rocky powerline (to the right) at full speed and looped to the left where we came up. Charlie Riou is still maintaining the trail today. The BMX section on the other side was a "must under 5 minutes" Thanks for the video.- Good footage. Wrote the trail for over 10 years

[@nofrontbrakes]

Yeah I do miss old power line hill

[@PriestsandParamedics]

Powerline Hill is so much fun!

[@nofrontbrakes]

Kevin Hitchcock yeah I love Powerline Hill

[@jasonmays2135]

Damn that root roll to water was SKETCH!! Nicely done

[@nofrontbrakes]

jason mays thanks! I used to be terrified of it but now it seems like no big deal

[@josemeza72]

Great video love WC and your videos

[@nofrontbrakes]

Thanks so much! This was so long ago and this video is cringey to me now!

[@jimbest2448]

Thanks for the nice lunch ride.

[@nofrontbrakes]

Jim Best you’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@themtnbikegeek]

Awesome dude! I can't wait to come back to Walnut Creek

[@klimberfive9747]

I rode the new powerline yesterday

[@aldenwilkins]

Better than my coffee break yesterday. ;)

[@shaneduncan1226]

Endo Valley is to the right at the top of the climb that you went up and rode down. I think if you look at an older map it was a short loop. The trial has larger drops headed towards the creek and then follows the creek line around to the climb back up. Good job on the video!

[@nofrontbrakes]

Shane Duncan I remember the gnarly root drops! I thought both lines were Endo but they’re both fun!

[@yosmith1]

There's just something about "The Nut"...what's not to love? On Endo valley, I haven't checked it out, but instead of going straight down that ladder section, you used to wind of to the right and do a fun little drop. Now that they changed all of powerline hill, I hadn't checked to see if that's still there. I guess I'll check! Thanks for sharing

[@nofrontbrakes]

Neil Smith yeah I used to ride that part too, but I always thought the ladder was supposed to be really tough, but now that I’ve broadened my horizons it’s pretty easy.

[@omarhenry3725]

Great filming man! I know this took a lot of time. I enjoyed watching it, as I am a roadie and staring riding here!

[@nofrontbrakes]

Glad you enjoyed it! This one is soooo old.

[@trailpeddler1442]

Dang dude nice lunch ride.. I see you get air.. keep up the work..

[@nofrontbrakes]

Trail Peddler ha I try. Working on getting more air!

[@TrailFeatures]

I'm kinda jelly you live so close to Walnut that you can get a quick lap in on your lunch. 😋 Great vid, man!

[@nofrontbrakes]

Trail Features it’s pretty nice, especially when I can get wrangle Co-workers to come with

[@KonasKorner]

Rode Walnut for first time today. Only live 15mins away and had no idea. Great time. Def my go to locally now.

[@nofrontbrakes]

Kona X sweet, there’s miles and miles of trail in there

[@KonasKorner]

We only scratched like 6 miles and had to head home. Funny, some kids noticed my Seth's bike sticker on my truck and started talking to me about my Mission 2. Good times.

[@trailpeddler1442]

Me too.. heck I'm just trying to get on the bike

[@MTBThrumyeyez]

Great vid. I'm gonna have to take a day off to get out there.

[@Gotdurt]

Haven't been to Walnut in years. Maybe it's time I jump on the Metro rail with the SS and check out the new stuff...

[@nofrontbrakes]

Gotdurt lots of stuff in there, mostly on the easy side, you could for sure rock a SS back there

[@rickyricardo272]

Dude thanks to you i was able to go today and find Powerline Hill quickly and session it for a bit, im still getting to know Austin trails. Great vids! Hope to catch you on the trails one day

[@nofrontbrakes]

Ricky Ricardo awesome! That’s one of my main goals for the channel: get people out there and shredding!

[@JoinMyRide]

Nice camera work! =)

[@nofrontbrakes]

JoinMyRide thanks!

[@ChrisCXK]

I think I missed the part at 4:17 when I rode. I'm going to have to get back up there in the next week or so.

[@nofrontbrakes]

Chris CXK it’s pretty fun, good for practicing berm technique

[@garthhuett8678]

When did they block off power line hill?

[@nofrontbrakes]

Garth Huett Probably six months to a year ago. Then they built the new trail off to the left at some point but I don’t know how long ago that was

[@garthhuett8678]

Damn, I remember bombing down the hill. Well now I need to go up there and check it out.

[@themtnbikegeek]

Power Line Hill (old) was there when I hit Walnut Creek back in June. Check my WC vids for some fun times!

[@nofrontbrakes]

Mtn_Bike_Geek will do
