Ride to ryden ryder what’s up guys today we are back at little swiss bike park in slinger wisconsin and we are going to start off on a super nice lap down jammer blue flow trail with some awesome jumps and last time we were here i was on a
Hardtail and i wasn’t hitting everything today today is going to be different today we’re gonna be hitting every feature in the park even the huge doubles that i’m super nervous about but i think it’s gonna be good and i’ve got my genius with me today full suspension
So i think i’ve got a good shot at it just gotta put those nerves aside and go for it riding with a huge crew we are stacked up like six chairs back there uh so super awesome i got some knowledgeable guys that i’m gonna be able to follow into these lines and some
Of the jumps it’s gonna be a good time so let’s have a great day ride these trails and have some fun all right now that we finished up on jammer last time that i was here i saw a guy double up these s berms on a trail called cliffhanger and it was super
Sweet i think that i want to give it a shot to see if i can also clear it so we’re going to give that a chance see what we got and then after this it’s going to be time for the big ones we’ve got gauntlet massive double as well as a
Couple others so let’s hit this can you make a lane yeah i’m going that way but thank you i appreciate it [Applause] i think i said it in my last video and i have to say it again what’s incredible about little switz it is packed full of
Features every single trail from top to bottom it’s only like 150 feet of elevation but it’s non-stop jumps berms wood features skinnies drops you name it they’ve got it here oh that’s new it’s such a blast to ride here and they really make the best use of the space
That they have available if you can check this place out be sure to make a trip it is more than worth it anywhere that you might live in the midwest come up to little switz ride this chair lift and have some fun i was just gonna say they just reshaped everything and it’s
All amazing all right it is officially time for some of the real big stuff that they’ve got here in little switch i’m not kidding when i say it some of the biggest jumps i’ve ever hit before and pretty much all of them are gap jumps doubles they make me super nervous
But fortunately i got jeremy right up there who’s going to be towing me into them so i think we can get this done let’s go send it we’re starting out with a warm-up down mainline making our way over to badlands badlands has two primary line options and we’re starting with the jump line
Now these jumps on their own are probably the biggest gaps i’ve ever hit but surprisingly this is just a starting point for what’s available here as always there’s a gopro effect but just know that we have some serious speed for these badlands left line is a large step
Down into a large step up followed by what was a surprisingly large drop [Applause] that is definitely a big drop think i bottomed out my fork i’ve been messing with my pressures so okay yeah i definitely did now that we’ve got those out of the way time for the mega feature
Hiding away within badlands dude that is huge quite possibly the biggest drop i’ve ever seen in my life and it’s amazing to say that it’s in southern wisconsin even though i’ve ridden throughout the us and europe definitely nervous about this one i thought we were hitting the biggest
One on the right but jeremy went left i can’t lie i appreciate the warm-up but we’re here for every feature so it’s time to get back up there and go big oh wow that’s a brutal landing jeez now if you think that’s it for the big features we’re just getting started
However i do want to point out that little switz has a lot of great smaller jump lines for beginners and intermediates that are also looking to increase their air time then once you’re ready there’s the expert features which leads us into our next jump quite possibly the most famous in little switz
Even in the midwest the gauntlet oh that thing is huge it feels so good and it’s so big it’s set up so nice it is after the gauntlet it’s a fun series of whale tails and hip jumps i just want to take a moment here to say thanks to all the trail builders
At little switz i’ve ridden around the world but i don’t think i’ve ever had this much fun in a such a small square area the smiles per mile are maxed and every feature is perfectly crafted to give you the best experience and the best chance it’s safely progressing and increasing your air time
See that huge double on my left we aren’t done yet i’ve still got nerfs to beat and there’s even a road gap before that jump but first let’s go conquer black and blue it’s now time for black and blue a little bit ago we hit this
Trail jeremy was towing me into it i’m not gonna lie i got to the road gap portion and i chickened out a bit [Applause] [Laughter] so we’re gonna take another stab at it see if we can get it done let’s go see what happens [Applause] oh too fast
You get a lot of speed after that little trail gap [Applause] with black and blue out of the way it’s time for the last set in the park it’s by far the one we are the most nervous about even jeremy is feeling the nerves on this one let’s knock out this road
Gap line success we nailed it nice dude that jump had a bit more of a kick than i was expecting every feature in the park every feature i’ve been wanting to hit for a couple of years now but i never had the guts i finally checked them off it’s been a
Long time in the making and i spent a lot of time jumping this summer and it gave me the confidence i needed in order to get this done today huge shout out to jeremy two for toning me into all these lines allowing me to just turn off my
Brain and go for it i’m so stoked on this and riding with the such a rad crew has been incredible all the positive vibes have certainly helped me so much what a day good work gents awesome day nice dude so we’ve got most of the features
Checked off here at little switz but i forgot about these ones right behind me over here and then right over there we’ve got a couple drops so let’s go hit the biggest ones even got the little tyke sending the big drops some people that can shred it little switz
Now this one’s a bit tougher with the setup and it’s windy I hit every feature but i almost forgot they put in this new skills park that wasn’t here when i last visited a year ago so let’s get a lap in around this and that’s gonna be it for today hope that you guys enjoyed this video i’m

Rider … Rider…Rider!! Lol hell ya.. Awesome drop and great commentary! Miss you here in Europe.
Awesome video! you're doing great keep it up!!!🔥🔥
Sick video man! Great meeting you there! It was awesome seeing The Badlands. It was my goal to hit those the same day, oh well. maybe next! That would awesome to have someone to follow. I’ve had to hit most of the features on my own.
Enjoyed it! Keep it up – having fun exploring Costabissara thanks to your previous videos.
Amazing job… wish I had someone to hit these with that would help me turn my brain off…
Cia dove si trova questo bike park?
Great video, just got done riding there. Props to you for hitting all of those lines, I could only go as far as the badlands jump line…
I gotta go here next year! I think I've progressed to the point where I could probably do it. Would need a bike made for it though. The ol XC rig would probably snap on these
I found your channel today I must say you deserve more subscribers for the content you produce. Now it's shitty moisty gray winter here in Czech Republic and I really look forward to send some jumps again. Thanks!
Great video pretty sure I seen myself in the lift line 😂
nice job on the video. Looking forward to riding this sometime this summer. Just moved to SW michigan from Tennessee and I'm going through withdrawals because the trails here are nothing like Tennessee, North Carolina or Georgia that im used to riding. Seeing this video makes me feel a little better – downside is that it's still 3.5 hours away from me haha
Nice job. Gonna get the season pass to practice my skill
Hey man great video and commentary… And riding! Check out our switz build crew night ride!

Nice video, I live in Appleton WI and I love going to Little Switzerland it is so fun. Last time I was on a really bad bike but now I am getting better and I am really excited to hit a bunch of jumps.
For the majority of those doubles and gap, are you letting your momentum send you off or are you pulling up to jump them?
Awesome lines and work
i gotta convince my dad to take me here
Fucking sucks that this place is closed. I'm from Illinois and they don't have shit to ride unless it's street. I find this place today since I live in Wisconsin now and I ride BMX 20" and 24" sometimes MTB and I'm like he'll yeah finally somewhere worth riding and they're closed because of insurance reasons. smfh
Man, it sucks Little Switz closed 🙁
this just popped up in my algorithm after watching some of your other vids and now I'm even more angry Little Switz closed its bike park this year.
At least farside is was built then there will be no downhill in the Midwest
