What an EPIC DAY of MTB riding!!!! Without a doubt!
So for the last 2 and half months I have been riding up and down this trail”Enticer”aka”Wintu Flow Trail” located in Redding CA. This trail is great for progression and that is what I did. If you are a MTB enthusiast like me and like to progress in this sport you’ll love this trail.
I will admit the 1st time I attempted to do this trail, I was a preschooler but now I am a college graduate. Haven’t done all of the features, there is still 2 others I am going to do as soon as my ribs heal up. Unfortunately I crashed off a drop at another location. Ride or die. I will upload that video soon.
Anyways, I have done several runs down this trail to learn how to jump all these jumps. The trail is 1 mile long and I am totally exhausted when I get to the bottom. I see other riders from time to time. This day I ran in to an old friend and got a chance to ride down this trail with him. Jeff Owens @jammminjo is a mechanic at the local bike shop “The Chain Gang” and has been a mechanic at a bike shop since I’ve known him. Ex BMX er, the guy can ride. I remember riding down the dual salom with Jeff years ago. Good times. Here is a video of us enjoying the trail.
Since I’ve been riding the trail for the last 2 months, I thought it was fair that I do a little work to the trail to repay the guys(trail builders) for their hard work. I brought my square shovel and a rake to fill in the berms. The “Enticer” has received a lot of attention since inception so it needs to be maintained. Also, I believe in Karma so it’s in my mind that if I give the trail some love, IT will give me some love back.
So, while I was doing some work on the upper berms, some riders walked up on me from behind, a bmx, Bodhi @bodacious130 and a dirt jumper, Ryan @smurfmurf116. Good kids. They helped me finish the berm up so that we could do an assault down the mountain and that we did. We all did a few runs together and here is some of the footage. Watch the video to the end and see us SEND IT on the big gap at the bottom. This trail is so fun and I am so grateful to the trail builders @reddingtrailalliance. Enjoy the video. I also got a video of the DJ crashing pretty good. Enjoy that too.
The day didn’t end there though. In the video with the BMX and DJ, just before we hit the BIG gap we past another rider. Well I had a chance to ride with him as well. Cool guy, Chase @8eightysixx, check out the video below. I can do this all day long.
