MY FIRST BIKE PARK | Keystone Bike Park, CO

At my first ever visit at a bike park I sought to answer the question "are bike parks fun?" and it was convincingly answered with a "of course bike parks are fun!" in my first 2 minutes on the trails.
Keystone Bike Park is one of the absolute best places I have ever ridden my mountain bike! It had everything from fast and flowy jumps all the way to my favorite really steep and technical trails. There were awesome wood bridges and skinnies, corkscrews, and drops. The built up features were incredible. I cant wait to ride my next bike park! I can imagine this is one of the best bike parks in Colorado if not one of the best in the US.
We started on the some black diamond trails with Cowboy Up into Paid-in-full, Holy Diver, and finishing with Wild Thing. For our next run we checked out some of the double black trails with Milky Way, into High Speed Dirt, Jam Rock, and Helter & Skelter. We repeated those a few times and then headed to the main trail we had been looking for...Sanitarium. Sanitarium boasted some awesome wood bridges with some steep technical riding as well. We finished the day with Even Flow which was another technical and really awesome trail.
Thanks for watching! Dont forget to subscribe for more videos each week. Catch you guys in the next one!

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

Biking With Bobo thanks dude I really appreciate it! It was most definitely sick!

[@tlhughes3652]

Biking out at Keystone is what made me fall in love with mountain biking. Keystone is a great place to ride with super friendly locals and is home to my favorite trail, Money, which I hope you were able to ride. War Eagle!

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

I can see why it made you fall in love with biking! It was a load of fun! We really wanted to ride money but unfortunately werent able to, it was closed, they seem to be adding some new wood features to it. War Eagle!

[@vihrenkostadino]

you have a full-blown thunder crew! Just shreddin!

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

haha thanks! we were just enjoying hitting some rad trails with a good crew

[@fortyfourfitness5330]

I gotta get into this sport.

[@larrysupersport]

Awesome Video! Your go pro set up is super nice. Question: How do you know if you have never been, how fast to approach obstacles? Seems like you did a really good job not casing a lot of jumps or over shooting them.

[@Cooptech]

That looks so fun!

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

It was seriously so cool!

[@leightondaniels217]

Congrats on 1k my dude

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

Trail Flying thanks so much!

[@JamesStoup]

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

James Stoup yeah it was a blast! Would definitely want to get back out there this summer. For sure would be down to meet up and ride

[@JamesStoup]

Sweet, keep me posted!

[@coles4294]

I wish there was bike parks like this near me

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

I feel the same way!

[@ljfran2383]

Still liking the coil? thoughts on bottoming? what spring rate, your weight?

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

Yep im still loving it! I bottom out pretty infrequently so no issues there. I have 76nm/mm - 434lbs/in coil and weigh about 165 lbs

[@ljfran2383]

Trail Chaser MTB thanks for the reply. Good to hear. I'm 190, about to put a 600lb spring DHX2 on mah sworks stumpy

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

Awesome! Im sure you'll love it!

[@austinjew3092]

130$ lift tickets isn’t no joke

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

Austin Jew it was $30 when we went!

[@katietee9374]

maybe their winter lift tickets cost $130. Summer is $30-$40 with season passes being like $290 I think which covers keystone breck and vail locally, with some additional parks in utah and california i believe. its very fair.

[@alexdavis2198]

Does anyone know how good the bike rentals are here? I ride a yeti asr 5 would it be worth it to rent?

[@peterkiss9075]

Would you be able to do shit like this on a 140mm travel stumpie from 09?

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

Two of my buddies were on bikes with 140mm travel forks in the front and 130mm and 115mm in the back respectively. My last bike was a 130mm trail bike which I used for all my riding including downhill so its definitely doable!

[@thehayman7352]

I do this shit on a 120

[@donovanrileymedia]

Go to trestle in winter park it's way more fun dude.

[@austinjew3092]

Are your bars carbon?

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

nope! just aluminum raceface respond bars

[@austinjew3092]

Thomas the Trail Engine won’t the carbon help with vibration dampening ? That’s the only reason I run them.

[@Friskee62]

Why is this video only 360P?

[@thomashardin6604]

THOMAS FISKE KZbin can take a minute to offer the higher definition options with the video processing. It should be available in 1440p once it's all done

[@Friskee62]

I'll wait...

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

Thanks! Sorry about that. It seems to have processed some of the higher definition options now

[@buster2725]

needs music

[@5ubZ3r0o]

no it does not
