This is was to be a full trail video, but the video gets cut off. The part that got got cut off though was lots of tires slipping on wet rocks and walking that would've been edited out. I'll just have to go back sometime when the trail is dry.

Rock Soft Video Thumbnail
This is a full trail video, but it's been sped up (aka I had the Gopro on the wrong mode). I wish I could bike that fast. I decided to make a video of it anyway and mix it with some short funny video music.
Rock Soft is a tech trail that starts at the hub in the Coler Mountain Bike Preserve. Along with Rock Salad and Rock Hard it's a fun rocky trail on the west side of the northern part of the preserve that you can lap using the Pedal Assist climbing trail.

Rock Salad is a tech trail that starts on the climbing trail (Pedal Assist) up to the hub in the Coler Mountain Bike Preserve. This is a full trail video, but I did cut out a couple spots where my tires slipped on wet rocks and I stopped.

Naturita Ridge
Desert riding going up to a ridge between two valleys in Colorado. This is actually a route of several doubletrack trails and roads, even though it shows as a single trail on Trailforks, that are also open to atvs and dirt bikes. There wasn't any real hard technical sections, but a fun scenic exercise loop with some rockiness.

Spin Cycle Trail
Spin Cycle is fun twisty downhill trail near Park City, Utah. Its grand finale is in a gully with big banked turns and creek crossings. In the gully section, there are a few spots where work was being finished up and a couple of downed trees. I left the climbing section in, but sped it up 5x. Spin Cycle has a new climbing trail, Rinse Cycle, next to it.

Winding Snake, Ucluelet, BC
citxaa iyii (Jit-hwah Hy-eee) transalted as Winding Snake is another downhill flow trail at the base of Mt. Ozzard. It is on Vancouver Island near the town of Ucluelet, BC and Pacific Rim National Park. Like citkaaatas (Rolling Downhill) next to it, short trail at 2,0500 ft long with 200 ft of descent, but it's a lot of fun packed in there. There's table tops, hip jumps, berms and a few wood bridges, but nothing hard. The area has two other downhill flow trails along with a climb trail that ...

Bamm Bamm Trail
Bamm Bamm is a black diamond downhill trail in the Mount Emily Recreation Area north of La Grande, OR. It's a short trail, only 2600 ft long, near the bottom parking area, so it's good for a quick lap. It has a bunch of jumps, small drops and wood features. This was my first time going down the trail.

Flume Trail
Most of this ride was on the Flume Trail with the upper section on Wild Iris loop. There was a mix a stuff on the ride, smooth trail, rock gardens, steep downhills and lots of views of the river. The GoPro on top of my helmet hit a overhanging tree I didn't see it and the camera saw it a few frames before getting hit.
This is was recorded with a Hero6 (which took the hit on the branch) so no hypersmooth making the video a bit rougher.

The Benjamin Trail
The Benjamin Trail is a trail I worked on last fall; one day of trail building and one day of old trail removal. It is an addition to another trail at Betasso Open Space near Boulder. It opened in May and I was able to get a chance to ride it. It was very popular and there was many other people besides the five that went with me.
The Benjamin trail is access from the Canyon Loop. A short trail took us to the 3 mile loop. We did two loops around the Benjamin trail and once around the...
