Switching things up for the channel this week! I haven't posted a mountain bike related video since I started this channel. Cycling is a huge part of my life, in addition to motorcycles, and so I thought I'd start sharing some of my mountain bike rides.
Berm Park (Chestnut Mountain Park) is a public mountain bike park in Canton, NC. The trails are steep, flowy, and fast.
On this particular day, Brian, Dave, Lennie, and myself met up in the mid afternoon to stretch the legs and take a fun run down Champion. Both Dave and Brian had ridden it before, but I was going in blind. Lennie too.
The climb up Papertown Express was relatively painless despite the hot temperatures outside. We stopped a few times on the way up to drink water and chat a bit. I work with all three of these guys and it was so awesome to get out and do something outside of work with them.
When we got to the top where the Champion trailhead was, each of us took a few minutes to pick a line and review the best way to roll into the rock garden at the very start of the trail.
Champion starts fast and roars down the mountain. There's jumps, a gnarly rock drop (optional) and some sweeping switchbacks. At the bottom you roll back onto Papertown Express before heading back up the trail towards Wildcat and Ladybird.
I had ridden Ladybird previously with Brian, but realized I had never been on Wildcat. Lucky for me, Brian wanted to rip this back down to Berm Park trails. I followed Dave for about half of the way until a technical section broke Brian and Dave's flow. I jumped in and rode the rest of the way down between the two of them in order to get some cool footage.
Anyway, here it is. Berm Park & Chestnut Mountain Park. This video is long and I wanted to let people see what the complete trail looks like.
