Totally different terrain than what we have here in North Georgia.  Enjoyed watching the video, thanks for posting.

Couple more videos from a short ride this weekend.

Here's a couple videos from a ride on Saturday.

Very different ride out your way.  Here we have nothing but trees, roots, and rocks.  The nice thing about the trees is your ride is always in the shade which make the temps like 10 deg cooler, however, humidity is bad here.

Very different from here as well... I'd like to give these trails a try. Same as CD, over here in the Alps we have nothing but roots, rocks, mud and trees. The minimum climb over a very short ride is 400 m / 1300 ft. A nice lunch ride can be 800 m / 2600 ft climb.
It is normal over here to have to push/carry the bike on some climb. Only an e-bike could climb those. And even though we have some fast rolling downhill, there is DH sections that are as slow as the climb.
I'd really like to try some pure rock/dust trails in North America.

Nice here in Utah to have both types of riding all in the same state. Northern Utah you won't find a ride that doesn't at least have 1,000 feet of climbing. Southern Utah, you have desert riding. When you combine the relative flat terrain with the lower altitude it feels like you can ride 3 times farther in the desert.
