Sickest Ride In Pisgah? Mountain Biking Black Mountain | Brevard, NC

[@raivkka4313]

Haven't been on the new version of Black Mountain but the old washed out gnarly version was EPIC. Hands down the best I ever rode and easily worth the 10 hour drive to get there.

[@Projectnortheast]

The old version was definitely sick. But that's why I named the video what I did cuz its still the sickest run IMO. Yes it's laid out different and isn't straight down the gut but what it lacks now in fall line blasting it makes up with really good flow and is insanely fun. The only thing that would make it even better is some more prominent features to double sections etc.

If you liked Old Black, don't waste your time on new Butter Gap.

Everyone who remembers the old version being good is delusional. The new work made the trail waaay better and more fun. The old one was basically a drainage ditch

[@raivkka4313]

@@bchearne Flying down that drainage ditch at mach chicken was a thrill and fear inducing. That's why it's remember 6 years later.

That hike a bike is worth the pay off 🤙🏼 Check out Buckwheat next time you’re down.

[@michaelsmith6744]

it was definitely one of the best rides in the area when I last rode it.... 20 years ago!

[@Projectnortheast]

Haha yep... that's why I said still!

[@jpauldion]

These trails remind me some of what we have in VT but so much longer and better. What even compares here in NE? Nice!!

[@Projectnortheast]

The only thing that comes close in New England to comparing to this is probably fatbiking in the white mountains lol... there are some big mountain rides in NH but they aren't smooth like this or purpose built for mtb at all. All hiking trails... maybe north conway

[@jctrails]

I’m ready to go back!

[@Projectnortheast]

Same... might go late fall with the fam. Other than that I feel another spring trip 2025...

[@erichansen18]

James crushing it!

[@Projectnortheast]

As usual

[@atraildog]

One of my favorite trails on the east coast!

[@Projectnortheast]

Same... but quebec is slowly creating into my top trails

[@romand123]

Any know how it held up after the flooding in October?

[@livefreeandshred9818]

Any time you want to go do that again….. I mean I wouldn’t be mad

[@Projectnortheast]

I am in! Fall or spring... or maybe both haha

[@drifterdogs]

Absolutely Ripping

[@Projectnortheast]

I try! 😉

[@bchearne]

Wouldn’t it be nice if the Black Mountain trail wasn’t dozens of miles away from the town of Black Mountain? Confusing name
