don’t know where you found 12 miles of trails there the loop there is 7-8miles when we do it, riding around and riding rhino top to bottom and the going back around to the climb otterslide., i’d give it two and a half stars if blue mtn ny is four and a half stars, not so much on quality but quantity.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. The estimated mileage comes from the people who built the trail system. They’ve been pretty busy building so you might want to give it another go and see. Take a look at the map.
There is surely 12 miles in there. I do a 9 mile loop and I don’t touch the interior “walking park” section or the dumptruck side. I bet there is more than 12. AWESOME video!
Thanks Constantin, No, I used a diy camera slider on most of the moving shots except for one in which I used a diy zip-line. The one flying shot was handheld. I got inspired after watching you use the slider so well. Link
Great video!! It was interesting to watch trails that I ride regularly from another point of view.
Love this place one of my favorites! Technical rocky challenging..Good stuff!
Cool trails, cool video. Only thing i would warn people about is, check yourself for ticks after and during your ride. Every time we stopped i found a tick on me, 4 in all.

Amazing production, Manny! Do you have a glidecam as well? I thought I saw some “flying” footage.
