Hi,
I usually ride the casual westridge trail (Nike site and then down to the canyon with all the white bricks "carpets"). I went there last week, kept riding on dirt mulholland, past a yellow gate, and then I found a really cool singletrack. I didn't have time to explore it, and I'm guessing its well known. According to the map, it just ends at some point. Can someone tell me more about this trail?
In the pic you can see my starting point, that's exactly where this single track starts to head down.
Thanks!
i deleted almost all my video, was taking up too much space, could only salvage one crash where i was happy i was wearing FF (but there have been about 15 times so far)
shout out to kdiff who I saw arrive at the top of widowmaker exact time as me today
Widowmaker is a much more fun run in dry loose conditions, it was too easy in the wet traction stuff, I like it now, all loose and more rutted
Here is video from today as I started learning the trail and adding some juice.
Its broken into 2 sections, because I stopped to push back up as I was not happy with how I cleared the one part, wanted to do it better which I did 2nd time.
Hey jasonjm, it was good meeting you today. I did a second run down, but figured I would ride around back up rather than push back up. Thanks for the tips on the other trails. I checked out Upper & Lower Jedi after Widowmaker. (Passed Squirrel Cage so I had to do some backtracking to get back to my truck on Bayliss. Cost me a couple extra miles, but still a fun time.)
FYI - on lower Jedi someone rebuilt the jump that comes shortly after the right then left berms on the right side (pretty much the only 2 berms on the trail shortly before the final section of the trail). It's much bigger than before, so use caution if you haven't hit it lately.

If you scroll back in this thread there is a video I posted here called Santa Monica mountains. Last 5 seconds of that video is me hitting that new jump at moderate speed.
I'm hitting it full speed now. Probably landing 20 feet out and 10 vertical feet.
I built that jump years ago, it's definitely eroded over time and needed to be rebuilt. hopefully whoever did it actually did a good job, there's been a bunch of sh1t built on jedi over that past couple years.
Cool video Rob! Do those jumps have a lot of upward pop to them? When I was up there the other day I thought they looked a little intimidating. They don't look that bad in the video, but I know video can be deceiving.
They are not bad at all. You can see from the lady I was following you can kind of just ride off them if you want. It you want to go big that's an option too. They look worse in person than they are.
Hey all - just getting back into MTB after years off from being on the east coast.
For context, I used to be a pretty aggressive rider, did some NORBA races, and all that.
That said, I'm older now and out of practice (and probably not as good of a climber despite having kept in shape).
All these trails look amazing, but which one would you say is a good start for a re-noob? Rogers Road?
