    yeah most videos are misleading, but based off my videos/experience and that one particular one...he doesn't seem too far off. I'm sure I will go slower in a lot of parts, but it looks doable.

    Looks fun! I would recommend the lesser known trails at Monte Sano, also. Like Bluff Line, Wagon Wheel (?). Some of them aren't on any maps but they are A1 hard as hell, would definitely be good to build confidence

    Trail looks fun. Gotta speed thru those rock gardens. Going slow over rocks hurts. Gotta launch
    that wooden drop. Full speed with just a little pulling up on the bars and you'll be flying like an eagle.

    Trailforks is the best way to find out about public trails

    https://www.trailforks.com/trails/cold-springs-trail/

    There is a full directory and in most places trail conditions are updated regularly. I would also recommend the app and you can save the trails offline.

    Looks like they're in the land trust. I've ridden out there a few times. Can be extremely rocky in spots, but its a lot of fun. There's also another trail out there called water line that runs straight down the mountain and spits you out over looking 3 caves. Its neat.
