This video is special, at least to me it is. I love doing video of just about anything. I love to ride my mountain bike so I do a lot of video with the Go PRO. So I am starting to love this Redding CA trail “Bottle Cap” for MTB and the like.
“Bottle Cap” is full of fun stuff for MTB, some of the best in Redding CA.2 log rides, fast single track, switchbacks, a couple doubles, bridges and some steep drops where you have to leave the ground and your heart pumping when you roll out in victory.
I recently got back into MTB. In the past, prior to 2007, I use to go riding so much. I love this shit. Great exercise, the scenery and it’s right in my backyard. Lately , I have been doing “BottleCap” which I found on Trailforks. Looking for a more challenging trail, since I have done pretty much all that I know of. Since my lay off from MTB riding some non-profit has been pretty busy making some AWESOME MTB trails. Trailforks site has all of the local trails in Redding CA, from beginner to expert(blue to black diamond trails). I wanted to do a black diamond, a new one to me and that brought me to “Bottle Cap”.

Getting back into MTB was a slow start to get my balance and rhythm back. “Bottle Cap” is a black diamond trail so it is full of obstacles. At first I didn’t attempt the log rides. I was scared to hurt myself.(because I can’t afford to miss work). Did “bottle Cap” about 4 times and a week ago I did the 2nd log ride for the first time. Then I rode “Bottle Cap” again and conquered the 1st log ride. The small successes in life.
There is still things that need to be done like some doubles and drop that is making my heart pounding when I look at it.
