Sharing my favorite trail with an Olympian

Last year I had a BLAST riding with Sam Schultz (and Jordan Carr!) for a quick rip on Galbraith, and when Sam told me he’d again be in Bellingham, I was stoked to ride with him. I’d had a TON of long rides on my legs before this, and was feeling pretty under the weather. However, with how much fun we had last time, I figured no excuses, let’s ride again!!!

We rode one of my favorite sections of trail on the planet, Ridge Trail up on Chuckanut here in Bellingham, WA: https://www.trailforks.com/trails/ridge-trail-18760/

Check out the Kali Maya over at Jenson USA here: http://bit.ly/MayaJKW

I started riding with the Maya helmet in late 2014 and immediately realized it was a huge improvement over prior Kali models. That’s 5 years ago now, and luckily, Kali recently released a revised version of the Maya. After reading the Pinkbike review (https://www.pinkbike.com/news/review-kali-maya-20-helmet.html) I realized that no one has really explained (in a video) how the helmet improved, so I put this together.

They had trails. Then the hurricane brought the next step

If you are interested in supporting or visiting the scene in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, be sure to join the Cabo Rojo Bike and Hike Trail Association! https://www.facebook.com/groups/300695229948418/

Puerto Rico has a massive mountain bike scene, but the majority of this scene lies in the cross country realm. That’s cool, but if you know me, you know I live to send it! A few groups have been more adrenalin fueled, and I was lucky enough to have the pleasure of meeting and riding with these folks.

The Cabo Rojo Bike and Hike association held their first enduro race about six months ago, and they used this race as an opportunity to announce a really cool development: they won a $10,000 USD grant from People for Bikes in order to improve and sign their local trails! This is huge, as it’s the first time the locals can think of that mainland funds have landed on the island to help with the trails.

A couple hours north east of Cabo Rojo lies the Salinas Gravity Park. This park has hosted downhill trails and races for nearly two decades now. Recently, Victor Figueroa and Eduardo Carbia have made a big push to develop and grow the park into something more substantial. This park is RAD! Complete with a flatbed truck for shuttles, the trails down have multiple options from beginner to double black, 30’ + jump lines.

This video is beyond the scope of the normal Local Loam budget, so thankfully Jansen and Martín were able to personally fund our travel expenses. Thanks Jansen and Martín!

#keeppedaling #kendallweedclassic #wildernesstrailbikes

Check out the new WTB Judge 2.4 enduro and downhill tire at Jenson USA here: http://bit.ly/WTBjudgeJKW (any purchases from Jenson USA will help support my videos!).

I’ve ridden many of the current Maxxis and Schwalbe tires, and they work great, but there is a very competitive option from a small USA tire supplier- WTB. Short for Wilderness Trail Bikes, I worked at WTB for three years and have continued with the brand as a sponsored rider. I’m quite passionate about their tires (and saddles), and in this video, I go over why I like that new Judge 2.4 tire so much.

Big thanks to Colby Mesick (https://www.instagram.com/colbias_funke/) for filming. I edited this one myself.

I RODE WITH PHIL KMETZ!!!

#philkmetz #kendallweedclassic #skillswithphil

Phil Kmetz has earned himself quite a following with his channel, Skills with Phil, and I’d say he sets the benchmark for what is considered to be good YouTube mountain bike content.

Phil combines his exceptional storytelling and marketing skills with his pro level riding ability to create his unique content. When Phil was heading to Whistler last week, I sent him a message, and was able to convince him to make a stop happen here in Bellingham, WA.

We almost left the cameras off for our ride, but at the last minute, Phil was curious to see how my workflow goes when I bring Colby along to film. So, despite a lot of on-camera time for us both recently, we made a collaboration happen! And it was AWESOME!!! We got to enjoy a prime Bellingham spring day, with tacky dirt, moist air, and amazing light. Hope you enjoy this ride as much as we did!

Check out the Industry Nine Matchstix multi tool & spare axle at Jenson USA here: http://bit.ly/MatchstixJKW

This tool is pretty sweet! I’m able to totally forget that it’s on my bike, and it’s got most everything I need for some quick trail side repairs. It’s also really pretty, and made in the USA at Industry Nine’s Asheville, NC, location. I’m STOKED to be sponsored by Industry Nine this year, and this tool is such a nice addition to their awesome wheels!
