Video: Bent Creek in Asheville, NC – Green’s Lick and Ingles Field Gap DH

September 22, 2009 9:55 am

This HD mountain bike video footage is from Bent Creek in Asheville, NC. Green’s Lick is known for being an extremely fast, groomed bob sled run that heads down the north boundary of the hill. A simple YouTube search for Green’s Lick will show you plenty of eager mountain bikers getting their speed way over their head in an attempt to show off for the camera. The result is an OTB moment that is great for YouTube viewing. Luckily for me, I had a clean run down the entire trail and caught some great footage with my VholdR ContourHD.

From Green’s Lick, I took Side Hill back up to 5 Points to capture the Ingles Field Gap DH that you climb to get to Green’s Lick. It is a great singletrack DH that seems to go for forever.

Every time I visit Bent Creek, I get irritated with the locals because this is their “local trail”. When they want to get together for a regular Tuesday night ride after work, Bent Creek is where they head to fulfill their singletrack obsession and Pisgah National Forest serves as their weekend playground. Lucky bastards.

Anyways…I finally got around to editing this footage that I shot a couple of months ago…so enjoy.

Video was shot with a VholdR ContourHD mounted on the top of my helmet. Sled of choice was the Turner 5.Spot with a Lyrik coil doing the duties up front.
