So. Much. AIR! Riding SMA with Portland, OR, trail builders

[@drappennen5704]

Good work these guys are doing. Working so well with big business. Props to the logging company too for sharing their land. It would be so easy to say no.

[@blameitonben]

You need to come to Eugene to ride the new jump line (The Gift) Team Scraper is building at Carpenters Bypass. Done this summer.

[@jordancundari4868]

This trail SLAPS. An absolute party. Well done NWTA. Its my new favorite trail.

[@Phonophobia]

Nice seeing a Starling Murmur being ridden hard out in the wild :) Sweet trails aswell!

[@VoiceOverTrailReviews]

I need to head back over to Rocky Point sometime soon. Super stoked NWTA was able to make that happen!

[@samuelh31992]

Would love to see you review this place as well. I'm in the Portland area and your videos have been really helpful.

[@VoiceOverTrailReviews]

@@samuelh31992 It’s on my list of places to get to.

[@smeegain3657]

can't say no to fun jumps and high fives! thanks to all the trail builders in the whole world :)

[@mocean365]

So rad and great to see Kerstin in this as well, she rocks!!

[@petedog9581]

It is so hard to gain access to land to build trails, especially near bigger cities. Oregon is doing things right. Great vid JKW.

[@HalJikaKick]

That looks like so much fun and it’s right up the road from me but all I hear are ambulance sirens in my head😂

[@Bohvey]

I was here last weekend. Happy to support NWTA. I will say it was a bit wet and muddy, Julie's Line was really really really really harsh.

[@SemiSendy]

So Much Air looks like SO MUCH FUN!

[@Hondeer]

Looks like a fun stop by from Corvy on the way to Hood!

[@energ8t]

Portland has a surprising lack of trails.

[@dash0173]

love rocky point. very bummed I wasn't up there when you were. would've loved to run into you!

[@gabeasher187]

Bob's Yer Uncle - is the name of that secret trail

[@chrisbrecht3167]

Wish some of our trails looked more like that around the black hills.

[@goexplore318]

Nice riding as always👍🙂

[@Blumpity]

I don't see how you can say that SMA is rideable by beginners. I took me wife down that trail and she had to walk more than half of it. Still a few features I don't feel comfortable riding. Great trail, yes! Beginner friendly, not even close IMO

[@jdwells7233]

Excellent... Hammerheads

[@themtbguy9496]

Very cool!

[@Guillermoshredz]

I hugely recommend riding yacolt burn next time your near Portland

[@dingusflingus]

Siiiiick

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Sends!!

[@aaronortiz9786]

How do you get to the trial?

[@kirkhobson4417]

Should have posted this before I bought my xt der on jenson yesterday😭

[@jazzechos1372]

Here a real Zen type question that I had never considered before; Can anything that is man planned, designed and then built be actually called a trail or is the more accurately called a "run". Good video.

[@casestudymtb]

Hey Jeff, I know short travel bikes aren't exactly your style but I'd love your help with my new-bike-decision-paralysis if that's cool? I 'm torn between the optic C3 and the ripley af. I've had a chance to parking lot test an optic, which I absolutely loved, but not an af. My hesitstion with the optic is that my daily access trails are xco style so I want something I can take to the mountains but mostly pedal around my locals. Having tried both I was really hoping you might have some insights for me on the pedaling and weight factor between the two? Thanks Jeff!

[@jefferywassom6472]

Looked for SMA at the NWTA Rocky Point trailforks and didn't see it there. Did it shut down due to logging/spraying, or re-named? Thank for any input you guys can give me. Looks sweet!

[@JeffKendallWeed]

All of rocky point is hidden on trail forks. Once you are a member you get access, and you’ll find sma then.

[@jefferywassom6472]

@@JeffKendallWeed Thanks for the reply! I'm a NWTA member and have access to the hidden Trailforks map. Looks like the trail was re-named 'Twisted Knickers.' Cheers, and thanks again for the sweet content!

[@Rolling2Quarters]

@@jefferywassom6472 Jeez Jeff. Always having problems with Trail Forks. 🤣😂🤣😂

[@zachsylvester383]

Just started going a couple weeks ago, this place gets steep on the bottom.

[@JackBauerDev]

Yo Jeff, question unrelated to this video: what do you think about the lower spec Rocky Mountain Altitude C50 with a 36 and DPX2? Is it worth it still? Thanks!!

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Kirsten and Thomas are the best.

[@mtbkc8975]

Probably a better outlet for this info but considering Bellingham for a MTB trip. With COVID, is travel between Vancouver Canada and Bellingham US an issue? Is there a quarantine, test or proof of vaccination requirement?

[@jacobkaltz1958]

First? p.s. love the video

[@ericthemidget9685]

Very cool trail. That is what I would like to ride daily. Get BKXC over there to work on his jump skills. He is lacking big time.

[@innerted6693]

Difficulty: not in Portland NWTA finally give up on forest park, or is that still “in the works” lol Portland sucks for mountain biking and this is a weak attempt to link this trail system to the city

[@josephperazzo9431]

Wow cry us a river, its a 20 min drive.
