Kanuga for the win

[@SerhiyMTB]

So awesome I got to go there

[@punisher9oneone]

I’m jelly!!!

[@dukeofmtb]

Haha. You gotta go there one day. It's fun. Might as well do some jeeping somewhere there as well. Hit 2 birds with one trip. 😁👍

[@punisher9oneone]

@@dukeofmtb not a bad idea!!

[@stevemalbasa3045]

Great job MTB Crew!

[@mtbgirlcory]

Thank you Steve! Please say hello to Ben for us!

[@samsmusic2708]

Finally bike riding season

[@dukeofmtb]

Finally. 😄

[@rollwithmemtb]

Ahhh yes! That warm, fuzzy feeling inside when you see there is a new Duke Of MTB video to watch!😊❤👍

[@iggyboymtb6935]

Yiieeeebooiii! Always fun to watch you guys. Specially when ate Cory speaks ilocano .Ellek .

Lol ask and you shall receive! Amazing the day after here’s your post from Kanuga! Keep em’ coming! Love the content ❤️

[@dukeofmtb]

Haha. It was serendipity. I was already working on this vid when you made the comment about the places you wanted to go ride. Glad you enjoyed it. 😁👍

[@chasechristeson9433]

Just found your guys' channel a few days ago and have literally watched like 20 videos since then! Love the content and love seeing all of the different bike parks you guys try out. It will be a huge help for whenever I get the chance to go mountain biking out of state more often. Anyways great video as usual! New bike looks sick!

[@dukeofmtb]

Glad you found us. 😊 Nothing like a good mtb trip. 😁👍

[@chasechristeson9433]

@@dukeofmtb for sure! I see you guys haven't made a video on any bike park here in my home state of Indiana. If you guys ever get the chance definitely check out Brown County, Griffin bike park, or even Southwest Way park!

[@dukeofmtb]

@@chasechristeson9433 One day. We still work full time, so getting time off to do these trips isn't always easy to come by. When we do get a chance, we like to go big. Eventually as the channel grows, we'll be able to hit up everything. Fingers crossed. 😊🤞 Definitely gonna add those to our ever growing list.

[@chasechristeson9433]

@@dukeofmtb well if that's the case on going big then maybe you don't want to come here lol. Not many hills or mountains haha. Brown County is critically acclaimed though, so that counts for something 😂😂

[@dukeofmtb]

@@chasechristeson9433haha. Actually always wanted to check out Brown. I've heard only good things. 😁

[@kooray83]

Another great vid. Welcome back! I don’t have to worry about seasons on the west coast but I’m you guys are happy to be back!

[@dukeofmtb]

Lucky. Winters suck. Lol

[@timborcio2001delr]

ride and shine! tapang talaga ni Cory.

Kailangan pa pigilan minsan, otherwise she'll send it too hard(it's happened, lol).

Thank you😊 I call it "the watermelon"

[@patrickbustin693]

Awsome vid 👌

[@trailladymtb7700]

So happy to check this vid out.!!!! Cory is amazing! You shouldake a shirt like your Duke shirt but a of Cory and her hair flying in the back and her saying.... DIM SUN.... Which really means... ( DAMN SON!) 👍😎 that way I can wear it to work. Lol

[@dukeofmtb]

Not 'Dim Sum', but we got 'yeah boi' shirts: teespring.com/shop/yeah-boi-merch-v2 Thanks for the idea though. I'll see if I can work something out. Glad you enjoyed the vid. 😊

[@MissingLinkMTB]

I'm gonna have to break down and go there I guess.... Heck, it's no further than most trails here anyway

[@BudoDave76]

You’re right about jumping. As adults we probably over think it. Same for wheelies. After a couple years, both are finally coming together for me.

[@dukeofmtb]

lol. As a kid, you could just do it and not think. Now, I just think of all the financial consequences if things go sideways. 😅

[@YBMTB]

@@dukeofmtb oh yeah bc you guys are out in states, no free healthcare :(

[@dukeofmtb]

@@YBMTB Yup. That's a pretty major factor here when it comes to hitting features and progressing. Having insurance doesn't guarantee coverage either. We also have "in network" and "out of network" healthcare providers here too. So if you go to an out of network facility during an emergency, your bill will bigger. They also try to weasel out of paying for things with a plethora of excuses. I hate having to deal with insurance here. In the end, they make all your medical decisions for the sake of their cost savings. Doctors says you need A, insurance says get B instead because it's cheaper and "works the same." It's so stressful here anytime you need medical care. 😔

[@HoboDan]

Dang! 11:30 is insane! Looks like so much fun.

[@dukeofmtb]

🤘😁

[@johnsonjay60]

There they are :) 🤘❤

[@mediocre_mtbr7550]

Another cool video. I think my personal goal is run into you guys on the trails this summer. : )

[@dukeofmtb]

See ya on the trails. 😁👍

[@jonjustinlanier]

Is that tagalog? Love your videos keep up the great work. Going to pisgah in two weeks and I am super excited.

[@dukeofmtb]

It's even more niche than that. It's Ilocano. Mostly spoken in the northern parts of the Philippines. Have fun out there. 😁👍

[@mtbman2288]

Yo I was there, glad to see you guys got lower hemlock epoch pretty dialed

[@dukeofmtb]

I don't know about dialed, but we try. 😅

[@Jacob99174]

Wondering where you guys have been. Thought you guys had a Duke Jr and would start a family channel now....

[@dukeofmtb]

Lol. Just busy working. Went on this trip 3 weeks ago, then had a ton of work the past two weeks. Hard to find time to edit vids. Just basically been coming home and passing out right away. 😅

[@Jacob99174]

@@dukeofmtb ah cool, makes complete sense Went to Costco the other day, saw they completely restocked on their Case-aroni. Just in time for MTB season ;)

[@dukeofmtb]

@@Jacob99174 😂🤣

[@mattperiard1541]

You guys ever think about coming out to BC? Some videos out there would be cool!

[@dukeofmtb]

We'd love to. One day. Right now we're sticking to places we can drive to in a day. We still work full time, so we can only take a week off at a time. If the channel grows, then maybe we'll finally be able to go further out. 😅

[@mattperiard1541]

@@dukeofmtb Fair enough, If you do then know you got fans out here that can show you around! :)

[@dukeofmtb]

@@mattperiard1541 Thanks. Kinda surprised actually. You guys are so hardcore out there, I didn't think anyone from BC would watch a goofy mtb couple from the Michigan. 😅

[@dukeofmtb]

She's pretty stoked with her bike.

[@s14tat]

You guys are such good story tellers. Love the dynamic between you two, and kanuga looks so rad.

[@dukeofmtb]

Thanks! We try. 😊 You should go. It would would a pretty sweet place to go ride after work if we lived nearby. Short runs, but feature packed. 😁👍

[@s14tat]

@@dukeofmtb it would be a bucket list for me. No one mtbs but me in the family so it would be either a solo trip or with the boys. What I also find interesting is that cory is so fearless at sending it but a berm is like her kryptonite haha. Once she gets those down, she will be such a ripper.

[@dukeofmtb]

@@s14tat Yup. Those darn berms. She just needs to stop staring straight at the edge of the berm and she'll be leaving me in the dust on the descents. 😅

[@MrCheckers37]

Let's Go! Love that color.

[@dukeofmtb]

A kid saw it and said he liked the watermelon theme. lol. I think we're gonna call it "The Watermelon" now.

[@jamaicapearlngayaan1233]

High speed low drag🏍️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

[@Warmachine-tu5zo]

Wait a new bike?!? Where the heck do you get one of those nowadays? I've been waiting months for my trek ex7.

[@dukeofmtb]

Lol. Someone doesn't follow our Instagram.. Are you referring to my Meta TR or Cory's Strega? I ordered my bike last August and got it late September or early October. We then found Cory's Strega(Nomad v4) online in the winter.

[@Warmachine-tu5zo]

@@dukeofmtb Nice yeah i have had a hard time finding anything out there. I preordered in feb and wont see the bike until June. Really sucks.

[@dukeofmtb]

Yup. Takes a while. I actually want to get a 2021 alu Nukeproof Mega frame, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. 😅

[@zxtenn]

Sold the Canyon? Plenty of Blue trails are a serious challenge so dont let the color fool you, i work about 20 minutes from Hobby Park and although not much flow plenty of climbing and tech with a pretty good skills area especially for someone like me, my jumping needs LOTS of work but not looking to get hurt either

[@dukeofmtb]

Yup. Bought the Strega and built it up in the winter. Sold the Canyon shortly after. It's all on our FB page and Instagram. 😊 And yeah, your blues are plenty challenging in North Carolina. Some of them would be blacks or double blacks up here in Michigan. 😅

[@asher2473]

What’s a good camera for a KZbinr trying to start a channel?

[@dukeofmtb]

Haha. I wouldn't know. Since I mainly do POV stuff, I've always just used a GoPro and my phone. All the non POV stuff in this vid was recorded on my phone. Ofcourse I set the white balance and stuff manually, but then I do a little magic in post to reduce the oversharpening and halo around the edges. Then I color grade it. I try to carry as little as possible when riding. You can do a lot with just a phone these days. Good luck. 😁👍

[@asher2473]

@@dukeofmtb thanks we’re gonna start soon

[@edenubo]

hmmm, the last guy didnt send it...i was laughing so hard cant get it out of my head, haha

Lol. Yup. That's my favorite part too. That's why I added subs. Didn't want anyone to miss that little gem. 😁

[@dukeofmtb]

Haha. Yup. So 'soft and plushy.' 😁

[@mtbtrails6665]

question.. how many batteries do you carry for your go pro?

[@dukeofmtb]

At the bike park, I always keep a spare in my pocket and the rest charging in the car. On long days, 3 spares. It's usually more than enough. I just didn't feel like swapping out the battery towards the end there. We were all ridden out for the day any way. 😅

[@mtbtrails6665]

@@dukeofmtb thanks I ask because I want to start making videos and 1 have 4 in total. but your vids are best! they keep me laughing,smiling and excited to see how you guys have progressed over time.
