Our day started off early in the Ville as we loaded up the fleet of ‪@YTIndustriesTV‬ rigs on the ‪@velocirax9406‬ and headed out on the 40 min drive to Eureka. We decided to hit Passion Play first so we could save the shuttles for later in the day. Stop one was the Basecamp, a super cool new spot just outside of the Passion Play grounds.

Basecamp was legit! The coffee was on point and the pastrami sandwich I had was delicious. They've only recently opened and are working on expanding both the menu and the facility. I'm looking forward to our next visit and a new patio and pizza menu. In the meantime, the Onyx coffee is choice and Mason is a big fan of the Ozark Chili Mocha

We unloaded the rigs and got prepped to go rip it! I was on the new Jeffsy Uncaged 6 and Mason was ripping the Izzo. We had to get a bit strategic since we didn't have time to hit every trail in the system. The decision was made to head out onto Passover and cut off onto Vengeance.
Passover was a blast and I wish we would've ripped it all the way down. Taking nothing away from Vengeance, it's just in rough shape since it rarely gets ridden. This one has a couple spicy spots that could jump up a bit you. Be mindful if you decide to hit it.

From there, we headed up Ascension to make our way down Deliverance. This is a MUST when you head to Passion Play! Ripping fast at the start, a couple of nice booters, and some legit chunky rock sections capped off with one of the most iconic features ever, the "arch tunnel!" We climbed out and decided to end the Passion Play session over at Marble Flats. Marble Flats is just across Magnetic Drive and has a few miles of super cool trail, arguably the best is Prussian Blue. Trust me, it's as rad as it looks!!

It was time for food and Sauced barbeque served up the good!! Between the entire crew, we ordered a pretty solid cross section of the menu and everyone was stoked! Do yourself a favor, get one of their MASSIVE cookies and thank me after!

Stay tuned for part two of this series where we head over to the Leatherwood DH trails to see if Mason prefers that over Passion Play. Please let us know if you have any questions about our trip.



Peace out dumpers!
