Mtb Session Party at Boyne Highlands Bike Park • Boyne Highlands, Michigan • The Duke of MTB

[@grantharalson3047]

Glad you are ok Cory.

[@bermshark]

Is there a lift?

[@dukeofmtb]

Yes. They recently installed a much faster lift too. 👍

[@tnerbsg8134]

I just went to Boyne MTN this past weekend. Hitting up the Highlands soon!! Can't wait!

[@dukeofmtb]

You're gonna love it! 👍

[@everywherelocal]

yeah! 🙃

[@BigMikeSRT]

I really think both of you would benefit from a three day camp at a bike park. You both have the enthusiasm and the passion, but your landings and overall control make me as a viewer....pretty worried. Then seeing that crash, it really emphasized the point. It could make for a really awesome video series as well!! Thanks, ride safe and keep up the great work!!

[@dukeofmtb]

Yeah, I totally get it. We're fully aware of our lack of skill when it comes to jumps. It's not from a lack of trying though. We've already done tons of multiple day trips to the bike park and we spent almost every weekend this year just grinding jumps all day, sunrise to sunset. Imagine doing the same jump 100 times over the course of a day. That's how hard we've been working at it. So much so that I hardly have time to make more than 1 or 2 vids a month. Still, no dice. It's just not as easy to learn a new skill in your 30s. What might take a teen one summer to learn, might take us 2 or 3 years. I appreciate the concern though. 😊

[@BigMikeSRT]

@@dukeofmtb hey, I'm right there with you! Mid-thirties still trying to get better, it's nothing but love. All I'm saying is that you probably need someone to help de-construct your habits and build up new ones. Like, landing sketchy or rear wheel first is all about your launch. It might be as simple as learning how to bunny hop or compressing your weight downward off the lip that could solve alot of this. I'm just hoping we can all do this into our 50's-60's 😁💪👍

[@MrAddicted2net]

Ive been watching your video's for last couple weeks...Poor Cory she has wiped out a lot.....but damn she is tough and refuses to be stopped amazing!!!!

[@dukeofmtb]

Glad you're enjoying our adventures. 😊 And yeah, Cory is an unstoppable force. 😁

[@diamondtime7968]

I went to Boyne the day after you guys

[@dukeofmtb]

Nice! I hope you had fun. 😊

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Looks like I need to make a trip up there

[@dukeofmtb]

Yeah, dude! You need to go! 👍

[@markkoziol5742]

You two have really gotten good

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks, dude! Slow and steady. 😊

[@MTBMichigan]

Great video guys!

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks, Rob. 😊

[@mikerobertson9787]

That looked one hard hit , Corey!!

[@dukeofmtb]

It looked horrendous. I don't know how she keeps walking away from these. Inhuman. 😅

[@mikerobertson9787]

@@dukeofmtb I still got her beat tho. Did ya see me on Friday Fails?

[@dukeofmtb]

@@mikerobertson9787 haha. Yeah. Congrats for making it on there. I hope you're alright though. 😅

Wow that was an awesome edit. So glad she is ok.

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks! Me too. 😊

[@allenkvextreme]

damn corey got bodied 😮

[@dukeofmtb]

Yup. Thank goodness she's built like a miniature tank. Indestructible. 😅

[@dylanchristophel1918]

Landon and Dylan! Lol I’m just watching this and I’m like... that’s Dylan isn’t it.

[@dukeofmtb]

Might as well share this with anyone else that knows them. 😉👍

Oh man! Great content as usual👍 Got me hyped up more to go again! Woohoo! 👍🔥💥👍

[@dukeofmtb]

Yeah boi! 🤘 Glad you enjoyed it. I can't wait to go again too. 😁

[@thegt3clickcrash329]

It’s really cool to see how much Cory has progressed. Hitting jumps for fun not to conquer fear , it’s awesome seeing how far she’s come in a short time.

[@dukeofmtb]

It's always been about the fun. 😊👍

[@grantsnyder900]

So jelly I moved to Oregon and am missing out riding out. She sent that jump on bad Jackson.

[@dukeofmtb]

You gotta come visit Michigan some time. 😁👍

[@julianheinhuis8688]

Oregon has even better and amazing trails!

[@SerhiyMTB]

Yeah dude love the video!

[@dukeofmtb]

Yeah boi! 🤙 It was a fun day. 😁

[@trailmaster]

Kudos to Serhiy! He conquered his fear. I think him seeing Cory doing it with ease built his confidence.

[@dukeofmtb]

Yup. She has that effect. I've seen it happen so many times. She can convince anyone to try anything. 😄

[@trailmaster]

The Duke of MTB buti ok lang si Cory after ng crash. Napatakbo ka ng di oras para tulungan sya. Ride safe kayo dyan.

[@SerhiyMTB]

Trail Master I think that there is some true in it!

[@LL-sk3do]

This place looks sicccckkkk!!! and It's super close to London (relatively)

[@dukeofmtb]

It's pretty fun. There's a lot more stuff there that didn't make it onto this vid.

[@a1marbs813]

nice vid bro!!! yeeww!!

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks, broski! 😀

[@johnmurphy8115]

Loved this video you guys! I actually just went to Highlands last weekend for the first time. I totally used your guys first POV video as a guide on which trails i should ride 😊

[@dukeofmtb]

That's awesome, dude! I hope you had fun. 👍

[@BigVanLittleAdventures]

Ahhhgm cant wait to try out my new rig out there.

[@dukeofmtb]

Yeah, dude! You gotta take that burly beast of a bike out there and send it! 😁🤘

[@meghanshipley4540]

Cory is a straight up BADASS! ❤️❤️

[@dukeofmtb]

Agreed. 😁👍

[@brycevanwort1877]

This channels amazing, I appreciate how much time you put into this channel. I love the your editing style, music, and opinion

[@dukeofmtb]

I appreciate that!

[@jjsflyinhigh]

Love your vids dude! I just started making videos but im a complete noobie. I'm trying to get the settings on the gopro and export setting dialed in.. I just got my first bike last year and I watched your video of DTE energy trails! Now i ride there a couple times a week! Keep up the quality content!

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks, dude! Wishing you the best of luck on your channel. Have fun on your mtb adventures. 😁👍

[@debbiegrooman5800]

Heading there today! (Just moved to East Jordan from Colorado.) Would love to ride with you guys some time!

[@dukeofmtb]

You should hit up Marquette and Copper Harbor when you get a chance. 😁👍

[@debbiegrooman5800]

@@dukeofmtb love the Harbor! Aunt and uncle live on the Keweenaw.

[@dukeofmtb]

@@debbiegrooman5800 Nice! That place is a slice of heaven. 😊

[@BoshJeach]

Girlfriend & I finally made it to Boyne yesterday with our hardtails. GoPro & you both being humble doesn't give your skills & these features enough credit! When I rode up on the skinny jump to wall-ride I couldn't believe how casual you both hit that & some of the drops. All the greens except fun-run were closed, which sucked for my gf as the rest was a bit too difficult for her to enjoy. Anyway - we watched this on the way up the chairlift for motivation & were so impressed. Hope to meet you guys someday & happy bikin!

[@dukeofmtb]

That's awesome! I hope you guys had fun at Boyne. And yeah, that GoPro effect is no joke. If something already looks terrifying on video, it usually means it's practically unrideable in real life. 😅 Anyway, take care out there on the trails. If you ever spot us on a trail, don't be a stranger. 😁👍

[@steve_exclamationpoint]

Wow, Cory is tough! Looks like you guys had a blast 🤟

[@dukeofmtb]

She's a tank, dude. It was an epic day for sure. 😁

[@dustintheis8163]

Another great video & I'm glad Cory was okay after that scary spill!!

[@dukeofmtb]

You and me both, dude. That front flip looked intense. So glad she came out of it with nothing but a little cut on her lip. 😨

[@flipsworld870]

#HardTailCrew awesome video my dude keep shredding!!!

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks, broski! 🤘

[@fillyal85]

That was a scary crash- what caused her to flip forward like that?

[@dukeofmtb]

She has a tendency to slam her front brake at the worst time. 😅

[@fillyal85]

@@dukeofmtb thanks for the tip man- I'm just starting out and I've been watching alot of your videos. At first I thought the full face helmet was too much but after seeing that crash, I'm going to invest in one too.

[@LL-sk3do]

Hey Corey and Duke, can you two edit a comparison video of Highlands vs Blue? It's a 7 hour drive from London with a 4 hour stop in Frankenmuth, so is it worth the trip?

[@dukeofmtb]

Blue is way more refined than Boyne. They have a fast lift that takes 6 bikes and people at a time. The trails are well kept. Boyne is fun for sessioning, and it has bigger drops, but the lift is slow and the runs are short. Looks like the drive is about the same for Boyne and Blue from London, MI. Given the choice, I'd usually pick Blue. They're closed this year though, so you might as well just hit up Boyne and see how you like it. Hope this helps. 😁

[@LL-sk3do]

@@dukeofmtb Ah I should have clarified, London Ontario. So Boyne is about twice as far.

[@dirtdigglermtb8243]

Holy crap how’s Cory feeling now? I zoomed in and slo-mo the video looks like she pull a Scorpion! Ouch! Great progression everyone!!

[@dukeofmtb]

We actually went to the U.P. three days later. She's a machine. Tougher than most guys I know. It's like it never happened. 😅

[@dirtdigglermtb8243]

The Duke of MTB fantastic glad to hear that! If they ever open the the border in Detroit hope to meet up with you guys sometime! My sister lives in Howell they love to ride Stony Creek, I love DTE! I miss crossing over to Michigan. Be safe!

[@NBHAgirl]

What fox knee pads are those you have on? Better than G-form pro rugged for breathe ability and protection?

[@dukeofmtb]

They're the Launch Pro pads. I just feel that they're better for DH days. They're a little warm for long days of pedaling though. I'm using the POC Joint VPD knee pads for regular trails now. The GForms don't fit my legs well. 😅

[@allenkvextreme]

and holy smokes serhiy became a superhero in one day

[@dukeofmtb]

I know right? Serhiy and Alex killed it. Hitting all that stuff for the first time is insane. Their local trails will never feel the same. 😄

[@SerhiyMTB]

The Duke of MTB that’s freaking right They don’t anymore lol

[@SerhiyMTB]

Urban Dropper thanks bro!

[@zacharyclements7422]

What is your bike set up

[@dukeofmtb]

Like what components does it have?...or my suspension setup?

[@zacharyclements7422]

Components

[@syntrax-og]

Can't wait for the videos when you guys make it to Whistler

[@dukeofmtb]

Haha. One day. I hope. 😅

[@siTTinLo]

Hard Tails = Mo Funn!!

[@dukeofmtb]

Yup. Can't wait to get one too. The local trails are gonna feel super exciting again. 😁

[@donnythompson237]

I did not think you where going to do the gap. Then that camera switch hahaha

[@dukeofmtb]

Haha. 😅

[@Upforthejourney]

Corey is wrapped in invisible bubble wrap. She bounces back from a major crash like a 10yr old does. Front Brake!!!!!!!

[@dukeofmtb]

Haha. I guess being super petite has one advantage for an mtb'r. Its difficult to find a bike that fits, but at least it doesn't hurt as bad when you crash. 😅

[@m3cs4]

Crazy Cory!!! my wife never learned how to ride a bike and she's from Baguio City Lol...Would be nice if she can join me too in the trail with my boys...

[@dukeofmtb]

Show here Cory's stuff, maybe she'll be inspired. 😉👍

[@BudoDave76]

Man, she’s killin’ it.

[@dukeofmtb]

She's a badass as usual. Hehe

[@kevinchristensen5149]

This place is definitely on my list! Michigan seems to have some awesome trails. I travel from Illinois on the weekends to hit some of them up. I've been to Meyer Broadway and DTE. Keep up the great work! You guys are awesome!

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks! Will do. 😊

[@stin3000]

Damn dude this is awesome. I just started this year with a hardtail (Diamondback Syncr aluminum). I didn't think you could do these types of drops on hardtails . Fun video btw!

[@dukeofmtb]

Haha. Hardtails are pretty capable dude. 😁👍

[@punisher9oneone]

“Hopefully we don’t die.” Aww, I wasn’t there to die on camera for you. Lol. I remember the hard tail crew. The hard tail crew were hardcore

[@dukeofmtb]

Hardcore indeed. They're sending some big drops on those hardtails. You missed out Craig. That could have been you clearing that gap(or crashing 🤣). 😁

[@punisher9oneone]

The Duke of MTB possibly both. Lol
