Surly Krampus Shredding Gravel On The Switchback Gravity Rail Trail | Jim Thorpe PA

[@joeljones4080]

I’m kind of late to the Switchback Trail party, but it’s now added to my list. And Jim Thorpe. I never even knew he was a town.

[@TravelingThru222]

Definitely a cool trail, and a fun ride. Lots of history in Jim Thorpe, really cool town in The Lehigh Gorge.

[@dog-so1vj]

Cool tires. I've never heard of them. You got me hooked on the Schwalbe Marathon's. As far camera's I'm just lucky to be able to use my cellphone...lol. I'm so impressed and thankful to all of you KZbinr's. Your videos are so informative and entertaining. You put so much effort and time into the whole production. Just letting you know I really appreciate it. Looking forward to the next episode. Say hi to the "TT mascot" and watch out for them squirrels...lol.

[@TravelingThru222]

Right on! Thanks. Its good to know people enjoy what im doing here. I will keep the videos coming. cat said "what's up?"

[@paulsuchecki3985]

Cool video! I have a Surly Troll and I love it. Not much different from the Krampus. Great off road bike. Sounds like you're getting ready for the Divide. I've never done it. Pretty hard core. Been off my bike since November, but spring is popping around here and it's time to start getting ready for some summer touring. I respect your views on stealth camping. In a pinch, I would camp in that spot as well. Looked like shelter to me. Since you asked about the 360 camera... I like it. That might be because I just bought one. It definitely has it's place. I like the overhead, follow and front shots. Adds more angles and perspectives, always helps. I really like the "drive by" shots. Mount the camera in one spot, and in post add motion to the shot as you ride past the camera. Makes it look like you have another person there operating the camera. Nice effect. Take care, Bro. Looking forward to the next one. Hope to see you down the road. Ride on!

[@TravelingThru222]

Awesome, Thanks for watching. Your videos are great. I guess I will be using the 360 as filler shots, for now. The drive by shots are really one of the coolest features. The Divide is something I have wanted to do for a long time, it is going to be really hardcore. Starting in Jasper, just wait for those drone shots. Spring is just about here, time to bust out The 87'. Catch you on the trail, Brother.

[@ReimaginedAdventures]

We definalty need to head over that way this summer. great video !!

[@TravelingThru222]

You should! Lots to ride here. PA has 158 Rail Trails, insane.

[@yokkaichi1]

Thanks for a pictuesque journey through PA. The Switchback trail looks like a sweet ride.

[@TravelingThru222]

It is really a nice stretch of trail.

[@timcruze11]

The view at the summit is my favorite. Love riding this trail.

[@TravelingThru222]

Actually rode up there today. You're right, killer view.

[@TheRickurb]

Sweet! New places to go and such! I rode through town there once and those hills were no joke. On my list now, thanks man!

[@TravelingThru222]

Glad I could help. I actually went back out there and found the true trailhead, as well as climbed Mt. Pisgah. It would be a good trail for My ECR,.... I mean Your ECR.

[@TheLankyCyclist]

Love the bike and the bars!

[@TravelingThru222]

Me too, brotha.

[@TroyHiscock]

Right up my alley

[@TravelingThru222]

Sweet, hope you hit the trail soon.

[@highdesertnation1285]

You definitely need a fly rod on this trail.. Awesome ride! 🤙

[@TravelingThru222]

For sure. Super cool trail.

[@desert.mantis]

That 360* camera worked good. The trail looks like fun time.

[@TravelingThru222]

Great, glad you liked it.

[@waynoinsaneo]

I wasn't sure about the tri bars but it looks pretty comfortable when your heading down the trail. I like the 360 cam but I could see not adding the extra weight on the Divide.

[@TravelingThru222]

The Aero bars are awesome, can't believe I Roda across the Midwest without them. Super comfortable, and they just add to the speed. Not sure what Im doing with The 360.

[@georgemyers9008]

Hey, love your videos! Could you tell me what kind of drone you use? In the market for one. Thanks! George M

[@TravelingThru222]

Hey, thanks for watching. That would be The Mavic Mini.

[@TheRickurb]

Agreed on the 360 camera.. good for filler.

[@TravelingThru222]

Filler is a nice way of saying "expensive and stupid"

[@mentholmoose6705]

That looks awesome YES it looks totally stealth without needing to be stealth I'm talking camp fire sure for sure. If I were on that trail I would definitely stop brew a coffee and eat a hot lunch than have a cigarette and take it all in oh hell yea. You had a good day on the trail make sure you hook up Henry with something tasty.

[@TravelingThru222]

Totally agree

[@scottsears6440]

I have to I’m not a fan of the 360 camera. It creates a distorted image, and makes me dizzy. But keep posting your adventures. They’re great.

[@TravelingThru222]

Cool. See what I can do.

[@Philobiblion]

Good vid. I have had the Surly LHT for over ten years and it's great. I put the Surly city bar on it and a Brooks B67: just right for my 73-year old ass. I think the town name is pronounced MAUSH (MOW, like in OW)-CHUNK. I'm from Eastern PA and that's how they say it.

[@TravelingThru222]

Gotcha. Catch you on the trail.

[@gravelcasualbikepacking5475]

Love surly I have 2 a disk trucker and a pugsley

[@TravelingThru222]

The Krampus is aggressively fast downhill, and so much fun to ride. See you on the trail.

[@MBT32]

Nice trail. And I would camp there too. Honestly, not a fan of 360 cameras. They distorte reality and I can't see the purpose of it. But that's your call to make, of course.

[@TravelingThru222]

Cool, I’m trying to find the balance with the 360. Thanks for watching.

Yep, kinda weird.
