Snowshoe Bike Park's LEGENDARY letter trails.
#mountainbiking #trailpreview
My friends.... I've wanted to put a video on these trails together for a long time. I'm pretty pysched it's finally come to fruition, and I get to share them with you all.
The letter trails of Snowshoe offer some of the most unique riding in the Eastern U.S.
Rocks, Roots, Loam and old school wood jank. It's all here, and it's what my dreams are made of.
I hope this episode sparks your stoke like it does mine.

This might be one of, ( if not the best ) informative mountain bike videos I’ve seen. Excellent editing , great diverse soundtrack. Perfect voiceover great riding! And it’s in the southeast!!! Hell yeah! Thank you for creating this!

Thank you, Tony! That means a lot to hear. ✨
My youngest son (27) is on a week-long work trip to WV. They were supposed to go fishing today on their day off, but instead I got a photo of his boss and him all geared up ready to ride Snowshoe! With all of us being from CO, I wanted to get an idea what the park was like and found this video. I agree with others - you did an outstanding job putting this video together. These trails look legit! Janky, chunky, and with fun features sprinkled in. Now I'm totally jealous!
This was hands down one of the best videos I've seen showcasing the old school letter trails at Snowshoe. Fantastic filming, narrating, and edit!

Great narration & camera angles. I know we're ALL sitting on massive amounts of POV footage, but it's really the 3rd-person reel that makes a video enjoyable. Great work!

That teeter incident would've scared the ish out of me 😂

Great video, the letter trails are above my level, but my sons are starting to explore them. We were there closing weekend and ran into you at the lift, I was the old guy with my son from FL. It was a fun wet cold weekend.

Excellent video, what bike are you riding ? which bike or components would you recommend for this type of riding ?
Thanks for the preview, guys. Curious, were the full-sus your choice for the letters, or just what you bought with you? Looks like a big travel trail bike could be a more tactile experience. Opinion?

I've ridden, and by that I mean crashed my way down most of rhe letters. Recovering from shoulder surgery so Tomorrow I probably won't stray to far from M N O on the letters
Looks like a dual crown. Did you rent a bike from the park or is that yours?

Incredible work! super impressed with you and Alison's riding! What would you say is the minimum travel that would get me out alive? I'm on a Tallboy 4 and it seems I may need a bit more for here. I see you had your HT...

Thank you, Matt! You could certainly ride your Tallboy there. It would be a total blast on the green and blue trails. You could ride the harder trails on the Tallboy, but it's definitely pushing the bike to it's limits and will offer a lot less forgiveness if you get in a sticky spot. The Hightower feels very comfortable all around out there though.
