Always enjoy watching skilled people ride hard trails. Your video quality is really good. Great mix of trail, bars, and riders. You commentary is fun too. That being said there are A LOT of trail riding channels on KZread nowadays. I think if you spice yours up with some “mini” reviews of either the trail (like here) or even products (not bikes per say), you’d have something unique. Thanks for the great content!

Thanks for highlighting this special part of the country. This ride in particular brings back some fond memories. Cheers for the virtual ride along!

Enjoyed the vid and really all of them. You do a great job and keep a positive outlook which is great. The Moab vid showed some of the technical aspects of climbing which is also good for bike evaluation. Most of ur bike reviews mostly focus on the downhill characteristics and this is a pleasant change. You do comment "It's a good climber" and you do a lot of elevation but sometimes filming some tech sections and commenting what about the bike makes it more efficient would make it better IMHO. You and ur crew are some great riders which showed in this one. Thanks

Hey I done this the other day all the way from 🇬🇧 I’ve uploaded footage from a 34 mile descent from 11000 ft not far from there!!! That Ahab is a great park and ride loop!!

*sick trails*

When your at the most furthest point of AHAB upper, stop, look around, hear... nothing. It was quite creepy out there, just nothing but you and your bike, I miss that so much man, I wish to be back soon! Some of the best riding out there! P.S.- I did that and portal in the same day! 3300 feet of climbing!

Nice dude! Yeah, we stopped at the top of upper ahab and looked out over the desert, it's incredible! Thanks for sharing!

One of my absolute favorite trails. We showed up for a ride there one morning and there were some people camped about 1/2 way up the cliff on a set of Port A Ledges. We stood there in awe for a few minutes. It looked like they were making breakfast before packing up to finish the climb. Oh man...I so love that trail system! Trivia Q for you: Do you know why it is called Captain Ahab?

This was a cool video but there are so many people doing this that the bike reviews are much appreciated. I'd like to ask you to review the Stumpjumper EVO. I don't think it's really your style bike but I haven't seen any actual reviews of this and I think it may be a sweet bike.

Great video man! The edges definitely had me a little nervous haha. Im hoping to hit my first ever trail maybe next year, and I am just trying to ride my bike wherever and whenever I can before that (also hoping to pick up manuals etc to hit trails better (ambitious :p))

Jason! Great video. You think EXO tires are okay for this trail? Or would you step up to exo+ or DD? I'm bout the same build as you...

Love what you do Jason. I feel I'm learning stuff but wonder if you could do a little tutorial on the various categories of suspension bikes. I've seen and heard it mentioned often, cross country bikes and downhill bikes but don't really know what the implications are. Are there other suspension bikes besides these?

Prob Ripmo, Insurgent & Capra woulda handled Ahab like a champ...but I have to say I think the mid travel Transition Scout was my favorite whip there...tied with Insurgent.

@mtbyumyum

5 жыл бұрын

video review coming out next week... I would have rather been on my Altitude to be honest...

I know I'm a broken record on this subject, and most people hit Ahab for the downhill, but if you skip the jeep road - Cliffhanger - and just go up Hymasa, you're missing out on an amazing climb. Amazing in the sense that there are technical and aerobic challenges on that section that are uniquely difficult and rewarding in Moab. It used to be, of course, that Cliffhanger was the only way up or down (though I almost never go down it, now that Ahab is there). Everyone should try it twice. Once, just to get your butt completely kicked, and once more to discover that some (and then, most) of those unclimbable sections are, indeed, climbable. I've never cleaned everything on it, and won't, but I'm getting closer.

I wasn't able to access either (I'm guessing it's operator error on my part), but if you bypassed Hymasa completely, and went up the jeep road until you could get onto the uphill portion of Ahab, you did it. The route intercepts Ahab, along the cliff edge, at about 10 seconds into this "Relive" segment: www.relive.cc/view/1859365300
