Mountain Biking Durango, Colorado, with Jeff Kendall-Weed
Durango, Colorado has some incredible mountain biking, and the town has been a centerpiece in the bike world for decades now. From John Tomac ripping …
Which bike in the vid is your favorite? Of course, I'm partial to the Ibis rides: the Mojo Ti and the Mojo 3. But Brendan's Fat Chance has a cool story behind it, Mike's 3D is crazy light, and his Yeti Ultimate is way rad!
Shafer is my math teacher
Tioga disc wheel was a little worse for wear was it? Anyone else notice the wheel swap? I also noticed you ran modern handlebars on your Ibis which are probably a lot nicer than the narrow old ones. This video was rad. Mad skills on a bike too.
Much respect for believing in a company like Ibis! You've got great taste in bikes Jeff:). This next two years Ibis will take the cake in many ways. Great product guys; have a Ripley coming in 2 weeks if I'm lucky enough for it to get finished up (waiting on some S35's with I9 Hydras). Thanks for the next 2-4 years of uncompromising, industry leading awesomeness!
Is this a series? It's should be. I would love to see some more vintage bikes ridden in some other places.
Love Durango! Used to ride there all the time when I lived in Albuquerque! Hermosa and Colorado trails are some of the best I've ever been on!
Great stories here man. Damn refreshing piece JKW! I'm 52yrd old hardtail junkie and still Dropping the Hammer in Bentonville to Horsethief Bench drop-in near Fruita,.. all on the best, aggressive hardtails(Ragley, NukeProof). I've yet to own a full-squish. Love this stuff! We're addicted to what we call 'hardtail shuffle'…the back tire dancing around constantly is what makes one feel alive! Lol
Nice to be shining some light back on the Durango area for cycling. I've lived there the last few years and it's nice to see people enjoy what we've got.
I've got to say you are now my favorite Mountaintuber. Despite not launched not long ago, you surpassed other known youtubers easily with the rad skills and video editing style. Even my wife has a nickname for you "Grasshoper" , because of all your crazy high jumps. Cheers from far away Portugal.
Wow this really touches on the good ole days. Even back then I never seen anyone ride an old school rig like Jeff does 💪💪🦵🦵
Your video production is coming along so nicely, big thumbs up!!!
You inspire me man! Moved from the boring midwest last June, and only really got into peddling maybe 5 years ago. Im a motorcycle freak and grew up skateboarding. Living in Co has changed my life, im 42 now & i feel i have soo much catching up to do! Me & my wife live in Pueblo, def going to make a Durango trip!! 🙂
Love the vintage bikes. But vintage cantilever brakes suck compared to today’s braking technology. I have been there once on the way to Moab. This video brings back good memories of riding there. That was about the era of bikes we were riding. I had a trek 8900 with the very first generation rock shox on it.
Loved that video. Brought back some amazing memories of just going out loafing around on my first full rigid mtb in the Peak District in the early 90s. Looking forward to more videos in 2019. Have a great new year
That was rad, no doubt. Kind of a lot of skidding from such a talented group of riders though. I know Mike Wilk’s dad well and have heard many stories of Mike’s adventures.
As a FLC Alumni (class of '86) I 've ridden or attempted to ride many of the places in your video. Only we were girls with borrowed Schwinns .Who could afford a mountain bike? Who needs suspension or disc brakes? Ned would pass us in a cloud of dust . Be kind to the old women you pass on the gravel roads. We pioneered MTBing in Durango. Wish I still had my good old RockHopper. It was stolen many years ago. And where are the ladies in your video?
How do you like the 2.6s riding this kind of terrain?
Awesome filming!
So F-in RAD……too many good old bikes to comprehend
Love watching you ride and super crazy on the old ibis but still able to maintain control (mostly)
Awesome riding and 90s bike are so cool
Watching you shred on that old ibis was awesome Jeff!!
Riding a Yeti Ultimate or Klein Attitude in Durango was the aspirational goal of 16 year old me in '90 or so.
Damn that video was awesome! Most talented MTB YouTuber I’ve seen. Can’t believe you don’t have more subs. I hope your channel gets the attention it deserves soon. Keep these coming!
That was great! Thank you and the crew for putting that together.
Answer Accu-Trax! I had a pair of those! Man… that takes me back to the rad old days of my circa 1987 Cannondale M-800 with scary brakes, flimsy wheels, bad tires and sketchy handling. I wouldn't trade a second of those days! Great video Jeff, absolutely sharing the STOKE in the best way!
Lived there a few times in the early 90's, that town is MTB.
Durango looks so rad! Now I have to go to Arkansas and Durango!
That was great to watch, not a lot of you tubers videos touch on the the true spirit of mountain biking ,reminds me of the whole reason I started mountain biking in the late eighties.
So Epic!
Jeeezus that ridge is steep.
So, looked like the old cantilever brakes were a little sketchy on those steep downhill sections. I was there before suspension was accepted. Old timers swore it would never catch on, lol. Rockin' it old school was pretty cool. Classic bikes on classic trails, very enjoyable entertainment!!! Epic skills and technique!
Excellent video, totally professional. And totally FUN! Well done…you've put Durango on my list for next summer!
Awesome video Jeff, your content is always 🔥 bro!!!!
Great riding and loved those classic bikes! Awesome storyline and video, thanks
Those poor old bikes! LOL
That's our home town! I love this area! Thanks for coming out here, Jeff!! Hopefully we get some more modern trails soon and you can come back again!
Descending down Hogsback with cantilever brakes. Dude. Edge of my seat.
Great job putting this video together, Jeff! I really liked that intro! And hogsback ridge looks insane, nice job getting those epic shots.
Sofa king good dude
Props to all us who remember full rigid riding with cantilevers. Great video Jeff!!!!
One of the best yet! It still blows my mind watching guys ride the gnar on rigid bikes. Man, this was a great edit! The fun of the entire thing (vintage ride and modern bike rides) just came through so well! It definitely got me stoked to go ride tomorrow 🙂
Wow- I ride a 2016 carbon full squishy bike and I cant do a fraction of what you did on those vintage bikes! Great video!
