Two trails one day! | Battle Creek & Cottage Grove Bike Park

Fall can be one short season here in the upper Midwest and snow can fly at any moment. When the season nears it's end the willingness to go out diminishes from all the riding done in the summer months. Not today. I know that the fall season is unpredictable and when the weather gives you almost an 80 degree day you better take it. We take a quick spin around Battle Creek one last time and head down south to Cottage Grove. The Cottage Grove Bike Park is a great place for any level of rider to work on their skill whether it's on a mountain bike or a BMX bike. Super fun day and I hope everyone has gotten out to ride as much as possible because it's officially the end of dirt season here in Minnesota...

Gotta love GOAT.

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

Seriously how can you not love GOAT!?

[@ravenssportsvideos1538]

sweet

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

Very Sweet indeed!

[@knut8154]

Thanks for the cool video and turning me on to Cottage Grove! C'mon you gotta get a fat bike...

[@knut8154]

A fat bike will keep you fit for the spring.

[@ravenssportsvideos1538]

battle creek and cottage grove are fun

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

this type of ride works out great since they are not too far from eachother!

[@nathangoodson3877]

At 3:38 you can pop off that root to the right you steered around and it’s a smooth transition on the landing. (FYI)

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

Yeah on that section i typically will pop off on the right but wasn't feeling it this day for whatever reason! Thanks for watching!

[@AlexvonderHoff]

I have that same crack on my Forester. It spread all the way across in that snow storm this week.

[@AlexvonderHoff]

I think skijoring behind a fat bike is the ticket. The kids wanna see it.

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

haha what a small world lol I have a appointment to get it replaced next week finally!

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

@@AlexvonderHoff Yeah fat biking might be the golden ticket to stay active this winter!

[@THEOLSONS_OUTDOORADVENTURES]

about to go rideing in the snow im making a video about that on my channel

[@BrianVaughn]

We sure can get snow in late October.

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

You betcha we sure can...lol

[@crooked_kyaks]

Love your content keep it up

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

Thank you!!

[@johnclough7272]

You got to make videos on snowboarding progression.

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

That was one idea that I had thought about doing! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@bltbiking7448]

Nice work! Hope the weather is holding up for you and you are getting some more rides in!

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

Thanks for watching! Yeah...not quite we have had 2 days now of snow. Where I live we got around 4inches this week...

[@gregkosinski2303]

Your windshield is cracked, yo’. :p

[@ridindirt]

Oh how things have changed on just a month haha. This was a fun watch. I like the more just session nature of this one. Haven’t hit Battle Creek in a few months and was hoping to get another rip there but probably not anymore 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

haha yeah it's funny how Minnesota weather works...I'm pretty bummed the dirt season is looking more and more to be done with...Lame lol

[@bltbiking7448]

You can make a trip down to NWA this winter. Great MTB riding year round!

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

I was just thinking of doing that for a long weekend trip! I have to get permission from fiancé first... might be tough lol

[@bltbiking7448]

@@MinnesotaMTB_ Take the finance with you! It is an awesome place even if for non riders! We just release a video last night riding a little pocket park that was just built on the Little Sugar system. Check it out :)

[@dbo1111]

Goat is my favorite piece of trail in the cities. I'm so sad riding is over, now time to dust the snowboard off

[@AlexvonderHoff]

It's not over!!

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

I would agree. We need more of these kinds of trails around the immediate twin cities!

[@MTBActionCam1]

Just a bit loose at 5:01. BTW, your windshield is cracked :)

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

Just a bit...lol WHAT NO WAY...Someone had to say it (:

[@driftlessareasingletrack2933]

The pump track made me a little dizzy.

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

Sorry about that! A gimbal would've fixed that or a full face mounted set up...looking to do something like this next year to avoid a dizzying watching experience!

[@driftlessareasingletrack2933]

Not how i meant it, was not a critique. More of a roller coaster comment.

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

@@driftlessareasingletrack2933 haha no worries!

[@MattRau]

Dude sick channel! I just moved to Minnesota and have been riding a bit out here 🤘 Also would love to know your GoPro settings, coloring is great! Trying to get my videos to look that good.

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

Thanks! Welcome to the great state of Minnesota! More to come on this I will be in the near future making a video going over how I film on my gopro hero 8!

[@MattRau]

@@MinnesotaMTB_ thanks maybe I’ll see you out there sometime 👍

[@noeleddy5676]

U could maybe try and do some videos with some machine so you could bike indoor like a trainer or something

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

That would be an interesting idea and do progression updates. Thanks for the suggestion!
