If you’re looking for some airtime and big MTB sends, check out Ceres Park in New Jersey. With gaps jumps and drops this place is an advanced mountain bike progression playground!
What an amazing ride! We were lucky enough to have two amazing tour guides in Brian from @brian_on_a_bike, and Steve from @BentSpokesMTB, to show us around. These jumps were mostly ramp-style and the landings are buttery smooth. Knowing the speed makes a huge difference, so being able to rely on Brian and Steve to tow us in was absolutely paramount. It’s also a spaghetti maze of trails so have your Trailforks ready to go or see if you can hook up with a local.
Some highlights include the infamous Creek Gap on the Downhill Line, and the Log over to Trail Gap. We also got to try out the newly created, Ride and Laugh MTB Podcast inspired “Any Style” trail, so much fun! Dan got to test his skills on the terrifying Road Gap, which I totally passed on. However, I did try my first ever 20 foot gap jump at the bottom of the Drop to Cannon trail.
Dan and I covered this whole ride in great detail on Episode 30 of the Ride and Laugh MTB Podcast “Do less! How to send ramp-style gap jumps on your mountain bike!” so check it out here:

Huge thank you to Steve and Brian for all the coaching and encouragement!
I also created a custom Mountain Bike New Jersey T Shirt, so rep the state you ride, and help a channel grow.
