WORLD CUP // DH Mountain Biking World Cup and Pan-Coaster, TELLURIDE, CO

TELLURIDE/MOUNTAIN VILLAGE, CO – Mountain Biking Mountain Village Bike Park / "Telluride" Bike Park // Mountain Biking World Cup and Pan-coaster. Unfortunately my brakes were so loud, I had to incorporate music overlay, something I never like to roll with that’s outside of the intro and outro. I attempted to reshoot these trails, however, the lower portions were closed due to a “pipeline” replacement.

Riders: Devin Kenney and Fabian Avitia

** On 9/16/2018 the final half of World Cup at the Yurt Drop was closed. You can ride to the final portion of Pancoaster from “USB”. This includes Gold Rush as well.

** 2018 The Bike Park remains Free until the new downhill trails open supposedly in June of 2019

World Cup, perhaps is one of the greatest downhill trails on the West Slope of Colorado, at least in my opinion. We’ll put it in the Top 5 just to leave a little wiggle room. This gem of a ride features technical variety: two road gaps, a multi line drop, a bike breaking rock garden, steep terrain, and finally a steep chute. If expanding your progression on technical trails is your thing, World Cup is a good one. The nature of the trail according to Daniel Goss, was meant to be incredibly challenging, but “easier” alternative lines with a black diamond flavor options are availible. This meaning you can bypass the road gaps, roll the “Yurt Drop”, and finally bypass “Catalina” at Gold Rush. Outside of the guts it takes to hit the Road Gaps or the “big line” on the Yurt drop, Catalina is going to be the most difficult slow speed technical feature. Brake into the top and then let it go and ride it out! Honestly, “Let it go and ride it out” is the best tip for hitting all the features.

I ride World Cup as a “Black Diamond” rider, and bypass the double black options to put some film out there before refueling the stoke at the Double Black Diamond Coffee Co. in Mountain Village.

Pancoaster: Mountain biking Pancoaster is a workout. Per Capita, Pancoaster rides chunkier than Gold Rush and World Cup. The crux lines on Pancoaster are not as difficult as Gold Rush and not even close to WC, so its kind of difficult to “Power scale” the difficulty between the two. After splitting from WC at the first Road Gap, Pancoaster remain off camber, tight, and janky to the finish. There are two medium natural drops, but the crux is a chunky snake of turns at the end. Long story short, what you see at the beginning of Pancoaster is what you get!


MTB Project: not availible

** The TF map for World Cup is actually Pancoaster and Gold Rush is actually World Cup. This means Gold Rush is not on the map.

I usually don’t do music overlay, but my brakes were so loud, I had no choice. My apologies! Anyway, what are your favorite downhill trails? Let me know!

[Tonytango]

[kjj]

I’m not the biggest fan of bike parks but this one looks like it’s worth checking out.

[azdirtlife]

Nice! Looks like you hit the drop portion of the road gap. Next time I am there I am going to nut up and hit that thing. If I live I'll post a vid.

[RideWithGravity]

Huge drop to sudden gnar...yep, Telluride hasn't changed much. I love that zone. Seriously steep stuff. Nice riding! 🤘

[stevethesmazsmathers]

Good stuff! Those brakes were screaming for mercy, just I would’ve been if I was riding that trail!

[thim]

Fricken awesome man hopefully next year I can make it there, good job!

[RideLabs]

Dang! That's some great terrain. You were charging it RC. p.s. thanks for not torturing us with your brake sounds.

[alexhouston]

Would you say no brainer has a lot more speed than the other trails. I took that trail last year and its scared me pretty hard because I felt like I was always going over the handle bars, which kept me from doing the blacks. The blacks you were on didn't seem as steep or as fast. Rock gardens dont bother me, but it didnt seem like you were on the brakes as much on the blacks.

[JamesStoup]

That looks like rad. Speaking of hardest runs at a bike park, holy crap is Windrock nasty. I've never ridden anything so steep. Every rating should be another rating higher.

[TrailBikeBebop]

SO dont use the brakes then! Awesome ride.

[MTBFlowRider]

You burning brakes bro? Sweet video dude.

[kfivemtb]

Just don't use you brakes next time! :) you killed it, great video!

[davemanago]

🚨🚨MTB POLICE 🚨🚨 cased the shit out of that drop!

[jbonexc]

Once again a wicked vid. I'm so jealous of the trails you have! Are they mostly winter resorts that open in the summer for MTB?
Oh!, I've made my own vid dude! Well, attempted one Hahah!!! It's on my channel so check it out!
