Official mountain biking thread

Has anyone ridden at Woodward PC? Just started working there and I'd like to get feedback from yall. I got to ride a lil bit earlier today and thought it was fun but would like to know if there's anything they could improve on.

Woodies doesn’t really feel like mtn biking imo more like a dirt skatepark, barely a rock or root on the hill, not my cup of tea but they’ve done a nice job with the limited terrain they have.

Seems like a solid place to work too

Right on. Totally get that. My boss was explaining in his own opinion that they need to bring in maybe a crew of diggers that know how to build DH/Freeride specific trails but theyve done decently with the crew so far. Ive had some fun laps but I do get what you mean. It seems like a fun place for BMX/Dirt jumps though. I really want to buy a setup again haha.

I haven't been there myself, but I know it's a favorite riding destination for the Teton Valley groms. According to them they just want to ride good jumps, and Woodward has good jumps haha.

Thats cool to hear. They've actually re-built and re-designed them over the last few seasons since their opening but they've had some cool people come in apparently to give them ideas. The DJ/BMX section is insane. I see how the groms love it. Its got good levels of progression and yeah, the big boi jumps do look rad. I can't wait for the whip-off and dual slalom event in Oct.

Dual slalom is so much fun. It's hard to find a good course

The course at work looks so gnarly, dude. And the Whip-Off/Best trick features. Nice builds. I hope we catch a break of nice weather after this rain because things were absolutely ripping after work today. Took a lap myself and shit was sooo nice and grippy.

Woodies has fun ass jumps but just needs more variety. They should build actual tech trails and just more trails in general. Also do y'all actually scan passes cuz I swear it looks like y'all just wave the scanner at me and tell me im good

Yeah I actually built that trail and named it after my NS handle. The trestle trail crew was pretty shocked when it popped up overnight but corporate seems to be okay with it. Glad they fixed the signage, at first I had just scratched "No Quarter" into one of those first few trees with my fingernails. I've got a few marmots trained to provide bacon strip tubeless plugs chained up at a few points down the trail if ya ever get a flat.

I got 2 flats yesterday on my slope bike because i ran my tires with waaaaay too much PSI. First time, popped the back. Probably shoulda know to adjust the PSI prior. Second time, popped the front. I didnt adjust it after the back popped so that was on me lol. Whata fuckin gaper. Zero marmots came to my rescue as I was not on No Quarter.

As long as you have your wristband, you'll be fine. Just don't poach us from Arcylon side or I will be mad and have to power-flex.

More tech trails and actual single-track could benefit them but its not like we don't have Basin Rec trails and hundreds of miles of single-track thats free in the area. I think their approach to bike parks is fine imo but im still new to this. Utah has plenty of trail systems, we need more jumps and berms.

Had me in the first half.
 
Almost got an $800 trespassing sign tonight since I went do a trail that popped out at some dam construction. Manager to talk my way out of it. No signage indicating that the trail would lead to trespassing just a few signs along the main trail saying the dam was closed and I didn't think anything of it.
 
Adaptive Sport MTB setups are some of the most sick shit on earth, boys. Three-wheel setups with electric motors similar to those on E-Dirt bikes and they were ripping so hard, like bottoming-out jumps and shit like that, almost flipping over. Those folks get after it. It was rad seeing that and the people doing it yo.
 
Yo missed connection who did I run into at angelfire at the beginning of august with an ns sticker on their bike, completely forgot about it until now lol

I just have too many bikes right now haha. I have an overstroked Evil Offering v2 for my everything bike, my turbo levo, and a dirt jumper. no need for this one.
 
Looking at a bike but have been out of the "new mountain bike" game for a few years.

Looking at the canyon Neuron, Canyon Spectral, and YT Jeffsy. Other ones around the price range/spec of these that I should take a look at?

Ibis ripmo af or giant reign or something of the sort will have similar part spec and great customer service with brick and mortar support if that's important to you. It's nice when a shop can go to bat for you when/if warranty shit happens. Haven't heard good things about canyon's cs.

The new giant trance x is actually super sick tbh if you want a rowdy 27.5 trail bike that can do it all.

I hate to sound like an ass but after owning a trance and a stance I am going to need to hear some incredibly convincing arguments for buying a markup bike that's dated in design. Unironically the Kona honzos were more fun to ride then the trance IMO

Edit: Worked in a shop but not super knowledgeable but most normal issues I feel comfortable fixing.

Look at the geo for the trance x it is very modern. The regular trance x, not the trance x 29. 145mm travel 63.x-64.x hta. But even the trance x 29 is pretty similar geo to the yt jeffsy. Not too sure what you mean by markup bike that's dated, they're def the soul 7 of the mtb world but they spec great.

Fair enough. Most enjoyment I ever had was on my buddies Intense Spider so I'm sort of chasing that. Midwest duluth area so some funky rocky downhill stuff but still lots of pedaling.
 
I'm still not sold on having more than 140 travel and less than 165 hta unless you are riding bike park shit consistently but I am willing to be convinced otherwise
