Hello everybody, my name is Zack Pipkin and this is my Youtube channel. I am 26 years old living in Mt. Dora, Florida about 1 hour north of Orlando. I work at a bike shop called Adrenaline Bike Works and this will be my 4th year riding bikes. My current bike is a 2023 Norco Sight Carbon Enduro bike and it is INCREDIBLE!! Follow me and all of my friends on our adventures as we travel the world exploring and sending the coolest, funnest, and gnarliest trails we can find! Hopefully we can make it out in one piece. If not, it'll sure be a hell of a way to go. Enjoy your time here and I hope these videos inspire you to go ride your own bike, or to look into getting one. Mountain Biking has changed my life and many others' lives and it can change yours too. Don't let anybody tell you that you can't do it. You are capable. Get out there and ride. #neverstopshredding
These clips were taken from my 2nd and 3rd days in Winter Park, Colorado while riding most of these trails blind or for the first time. On the first lap down any trail, no matter how easy, you want to ride at a slower pace so you can take in all the trail features and characteristics before letting go of the brakes and riding full speed. Every trail is completely different and conditions are always changing, so it's always a good idea to pre-ride, even on trails you have ridden before.
The day started out with some Double Jeopardy, a fast rocky blue trail featuring one of the signature Trestle Bike Park rock gardens with multiple line choices. Dub Jep eventually merges with Shy Ann for a super fast berm section which can be skipped by taking inside lines through the trees. After a brutal but short climb, we descend Long Trail which is a fast connector taking us to Free Speech. After a nice fast and flowy Free Speech, we end up on Dyno Bones which is a lesser ridden trail at Trestle.
After getting on the lift and making it back to the summit, we go down Diane trail where we are audibly assaulted by two Military type aircraft flying overhead. *God Bless America!* Diane takes us over to Happy Camper followed by Happier Camper, which are two blue/blue-black jump trails that are super fast and super fun, but had to be rolled on the first go due to the pre-ride rule. (Don't want to get hurt). After a short break down Easy Street (not shown in video), we end up on Free Speech for a short time, before hitting Long Trail, connecting us to one of my favorite trails on the mountain.
Up next is No Quarter, one of the best trails at Trestle, featuring super fast berms, wooden drops, and doubles (jumps). The trail has some optional gaps that get rolled on the first go (Stay tuned for the sending in later videos). Here's where I met of the many riders over the week, Greg. Then Greg tows me down lower No Quarter which is also Long Trail, super fast and flowy, freshly raked huge berms with a few drops, jumps, and wooden features mixed in. After cruising past the lift since it was closed, we ride Long Trail down towards the base of the mountain.
Before the bottom is one more trail Boot Camp, which I decided to include in the video twice. One was wet conditions by myself featuring the whole trail, and the second was following Greg while conditions were much dryer and dusty. Overall an amazing day, good section of trails, happy to get pre-ride over with in one piece and be able to ride more advanced trails and open up the speed!
