Wissahickon Mountain Biking - CHUTES AT THE WISS!?!? - Just a little fun EP5

The Wissahickon (the wiss) has amazing mountain biking trails for a trail system only 20 minutes away from downtown Philadelphia! It has lots of flow, tech, and more recently, even some jumps! The wiss is my local riding spot and I have ridden nearly all the trails there. As I kept riding the same trails over and over again, I started to find some really fun drainage ditches and random chutes. They are a nice change in pace to the regular Wissahickon type trail that have relatively mellow grades. Some of these trails are a bit off the beaten path but are still a lot of fun! These "off-chutes" are a good way to spice up a Wissahickon ride as a lot of them are steep*, super gnarly, and way too much fun! Enjoy the video!

*In this video, I refer to the "GoPro effect" a lot. The "GoPro effect" is when something looks really small/easy on camera but is actually a lot crazier once you see it in person. GoPros have a hard time capturing the steepness of steep trails due to the wide angle lens and since I rode a lot of steep trails, there is a lot of "gopro effect" in this video. I am not exaggerating when I say that some of the steep trails that I rode in this video were closing in on 40 or 50 percent grade! Just something to keep in mind while watching the video.

Huge thanks to Christopher Li and my dad for helping film the edit! Couldn't have done it without them!
