Just for fun, I traveled to Austin Texas to attend the grand opening of Spider Mountain, a 350 foot lift served downhill mountain bike park. I’ve never seen, much less ridden a park that small with a lift, and Spider Mountain is actually kind of revolutionary. First of all, Spider Mountain is the first year round lift park in the United States. Second of all it contains the only chair lift in the state of Texas.

Nearby Spider Mountain is Reveille Peak Ranch, which contains some of the best riding Texas Hill Country has to offer.

Also during this visit I got to see my friend Scott, who I rode BMX with as a kid. We got to ride with Eric from the YouTube Channel “No Front Brakes” as well, during the grand opening.

    “If you want to bond with fellow riders, you need to run a train with each other.... on the trail” This had me dead lol.

    “Run a train together” “On a trail” Thanks for clearing that up I was thinking the other option

    Exciting, I love it when people take the chance on things like this.

    So much work went into all the trails around Austin! A lot of great people donated 1,000s of hours to make the dream a reality. As a recent transplant from ATX to CO, I have to say that while CO has epic trails I think Austin has a major fun factor that's hard to beat!

    HAHA right before you said "I'm looking at you Atlanta" I was like YES we need that stuff here. We have so many mountains of possibilities here in North GA. It would be SICK !!

    Being a hill country rider myself (from Fredericksburg, about an hour west of Austin), it is refreshing to see people like yourself come and enjoy the trails and community that we have to offer! Glad you had a good time!

    Thanks Seth for featuring our little corner of the world. I'm 51 and have ridden mountain bikes in California since I was in my early 20's. Moved here to the Austin area 9 years ago and found the mountain biking a lot of fun but very different from what I was used to. Having Spider Mountain open excites me big time and I can't wait to get out there.
