Great, now I need to move to Prescott. Let's see, so that's 1 house in BC for summer, and a house in AZ for winter, yup, that about covers it.

AZ get's tons of people from BC in the winter. We call them snowbirds.

Or live it Salt Lake, ride in the mountains in the summer and in the winter ride Moab

^ You got it

brandaneisma (Sep 2, 2015 at 12:04)

Yeah too bad I don't live there

Lots of Canadians here in AZ during the cooler months. And lots of riders from AZ in BC during the summer. Pretty routine actually at this point.

Disclosure - I live in the Prescott area

Prescott is an hour north of Phoenix and cooler than Phx temperatures in the summer due to its elevation (the town is 5500 feet aka 1670 meters) and lack of concrete compared to Phoenix (no 100 degree action in Prescott when you go to bed like Phoenix gets in the summer).

In the winter it is an hour and change to Phoenix trails and trails like the Black Canyon Trail system are 35-45 minutes away.

An hour or so north of Prescott is Flagstaff and Sedona is about 40-45 minutes away.

If you want to drive to Moab from Prescott you are looking at about 6-7 hours depending on how heavy your foot is and what path you take to get there.

Arizona has its share of wackiness but if you dig outdoor stuff it is pretty nifty.

Can someone please make heaps more of this kind of stuff!

I live in Flag and have almost smoked that tree on multiple occasions. Great showcase of some of the trails we have up here, good footage boys!

Just moved to town, any idea which trail they are on with all the jumps?

azriding (Sep 3, 2015 at 23:46)

I believe it is North and South Wasabi... could be mistaken though.

rustrunner (Sep 5, 2015 at 9:55)

Lower and upper wassabi via sunset catwalk is what they rode in flagstaff. Jumps are on lower Wassabi.

Great little vid showcasing the Northern AZ scene. The only place in N. AZ that usually comes to most people's minds when it comes to riding is Sedona. Good to see our little slice of heaven getting more recognition. AZ is one of the best kept secrets in MTN biking. But the word is definitely gettin out.

I grew up in P-Town. Moved back after living in Huntington Beach for 12 years, and I must admit Its not a boring little town any more. Seems like every other car has a bike rack ! Lots of trails that are very well thought out and its rumored that some people are starting a shuttle business soon. Hell ya !

Lucas tarzan'd the hell out of that tree

That familiar cringe milliseconds before crash impact. That video captured it.

SeaHag (Sep 2, 2015 at 23:11)

First time watching the video I flinched hard at that moment....a remnant of smoking a tree myself three weeks ago. Still healing up.

jakeguthrie (Sep 3, 2015 at 7:02)

Over the hill gang. That looks like a good way to retire, building trails and still riding

whosflungdung (Sep 3, 2015 at 17:35)

how come each one of these edits for Curtis is an apology for doing shitty?

That think the old guys were building at the beginning of the video is hardly a trail. It is a road. There is a huge difference between the two. I'm sure it would be fun to ride down, but it is not a trail. Anything built with an excavator is not a trail, it is a road. Just saying.

wanleggedwinston (Sep 2, 2015 at 12:38)

loads of trails are built with excavators, and over time it will green up, with eventually only the lines most ridden/used showing in the dirt. I do see your point though

esteban36 (Sep 2, 2015 at 18:07)

That's a mini excavator, the tracks can narrow down to three feet wide. That's hardly a road width. Plus they can move lots of dirt in a short period of time, much better than shoveling.

If a car cant drive on it, it is not a road.
