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!

    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!

    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.
