I'm not sure the Pb guys even watch the larock videos before they make it vod every time.

I'm just so happy to see the sport of mountain biking growing more and more, every year.

those trails look so pristine! sure, we can ride year round, here in southern california. but after hundreds of riders hit our trails over and over, day after day, they're chopped up and beat to death. it would be pure nectar riding those smooth, bermed trails with nice, trannied jumps. and thanks trek, for sponsoring a sweet vid without burying us in marketing hype. i, for one, really appreciate that.

Worth the trip. Hit Cuyuna in Minnesota, the Epic Ride in Rock Lake, WI, Michigan Tech in Houghton, and save the best for last, Copper. As good as any Western trip...

The Keewenaw Adventure Company runs shuttles to the top of these trails every weekend from 12 to 5, in the summer they do select Tuesday/Thursday nights. Three trails accessed from the top of the Brockway are Whoopity Woo, Flying Squirrel(the jump trail you saw in the video) and The Flow(the trail IMBA was there opening). There are also a number of good trails from the Mountain Lodge. You just tell the KAC driver where you want to go and they drive you to the top.

I'd watch an advertisement every day if it marked the beginning of a new trail system. Stop bitching.

Just curious, but does Copper harbour have something more DH oriented? because pedaling a DH bike too much takes a chunk of fun out of the ride.

hubupnorth (Jul 9, 2012 at 17:40)

They have a DH trail and some other good trails you can hit such as Flow,The Edge and the Red Trail. They do run shuttle runs at the Keewenaw Bike Shop right downtown. It's only certain days of the week and times of the day so you would want to check with them. Off hand I can't remember. Most of the trails are two ways not one way so you can run into people riding up. Overall though a All-Mountain or Light Freeride rig is all you need. You need to also check out Marquette's Benson Grade.

vixie (Jul 11, 2012 at 1:40)

Yeah right now i would like a lighter setup but my Demo 8 is to precious to get rid of and I am not rich enough to afford another nice bike. I really want to visit Copper Harbor, but it wouldn't be to fun if people weren't DH friendly.
