WHAT IS NEW AT THUNDER MOUNTAIN BIKE PARK 2024

Today we did a small run through of some of the new trail features and amenities that have been added to the mountain. Join us for a lap down Sleeping Jakes, Gronk, and Trillium with small break downs in some of the newly updated areas. Come see all the new reasons to be even more stoked to choose Thunder as your DH destination.

[@frank-696]

Another season of great vid's.... I hope thunder is taking care of you guys! And , I'm not talking a free hat & t-shirt!!!

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

I'll take more sunny weekends like this one if they are handing out some of those!

[@ryanlynch2259]

Great video! Best one yet!! Keep up the good work

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

Thx my dude!

[@patrick.mccarthy19]

You deserve more subs. Very quality content

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

Thx, much appreciated. If I were a better rider maybe, but we are building slowly. Stoked you enjoy 😉

[@bcr4832]

Good to see you still at it.

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

Thx, it's a tough drug to kick 🤣🫠

[@chuckriley2764]

thanks for the video , it will help me navigate thunder,,, this is my first full season of MTB, not up to your skill level in anyway but i just like to ride and be out there

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

Glad it helps! Have a great season.

[@pan0rama546]

Glad to see the Barn Drop is back, looks like they mellowed out the entrance ramp, I think the old on-ramp was what made the feature interesting, certainly more difficult as there was no bailing out once you were on it.

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

My guess is the entrance ramp was the compromise that had to be made to bring it back. Do I miss the original yes...but it's better than nothing I guess 🤔

[@HW-MTB]

I agree, the old ramp was sketchy but fun! It would have been fantastic if they somehow kept the conveyor and just added rails to that. Either way, great to see it back!!! 👍

[@nostr8ghtlinzs596]

progression signs rock, i think those are great. even if you are an expert, want to get a feel for the hill, or warm up?? progression sign has the answer .

[@junkie7367]

Thunder should be giving you royalties for making informationals now 😆good stuff man >>> ayyy and I'm famous now :D

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

Definitely would not say no to that, would help fund the channel and allow for expansion on what I do. 😉 But I'm a realist and know that's not happening anytime soon, so I'll take my fun in the sun and the good vibes and be happy.

[@HW-MTB]

So excited to see your videos! They have done a lot of work for this season! I’ll be there this weekend! 🎉

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

@HW-MTB 🤘

[@topspot4834]

Yeah he's actually a huge advocate and great source of information for Thunder. Also, even though he "only" gets around 1k views, I bet a high percentage of them are actual riders who go to Thunder. They should at least give him a free season pass to the bike park.

[@kushstreams4260]

Awesome video man! Thank you so much for making this as it will definitely help on my first day back there this season.

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

Glad to hear it was worth the time!

[@codyguyott6896]

Honestly didn't even notice the bike wash station, definitely will be there more often at the end of the day

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

Same

[@AlbertodelaTorre1]

Is that a high speed lift I see??? I love that place since it opened but my gripe was the slow lift.

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

Yes it is! A high speed Quad chair. It's about 4-5 mins to the top now!

[@topspot4834]

I think they're overrating Mouse Trap's difficulty ... How's Sleeping Jakes looking? It was pretty beat up last year and definitely not a flow trail anymore. Love your vids!

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

They smoothed out a good deal, I'd definitely consider it a tech/flow trail

[@rascal1234]

Sunday they did not run the high-speed lift? I was there Friday and Sat. The first time I sent the Jake Drop, I rolled in on trail speed. Almost sent it to the bottom. It is good, but steep for the speed.

[@rascal1234]

Yea, I did not hit the shack drop. I kind of liked the old conveyor climb. Janky, but cool.

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

They eventually did get the High Speed up and running Sun. It was just after we had put the cams away yo ride for the rest of the day.

[@OldAZMountainBikerInMA]

I always thought Billy Badger was the easiest of the Black Diamond Trails.

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

It's kinda cool to see the Mountains POV on what ranks where. Also serves as a kinda cool punch list to check off the trails as your progress on the mtn.

[@OldAZMountainBikerInMA]

I think my next trip up, I’ll do the tech progression until I max out my confidence.

[@beenrudy]

Can the green and blue trails be run on an aggressive hardtail? Never been downhill mountain biking and want to very badly. I'm 55 and won't be doing anything seriously aggressive, just want to blast down a mountain and relearn how to jump the jumps on gronk.

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

I 100% think you will be A OK. I see quite a good amount of HT riders there.

[@beenrudy]

@@pedalingdownhill7640 Excellent! I'm definitely going there next week! Thanks for the info!

[@Icehso140]

Is Cat n Mouse fully open?

[@pedalingdownhill7640]

It not open as of opening weekend. Follow their IG to hear it first, but I'll also be posting when it's back.
