Top 5 expert level MTB skinnies at Mt Penn in Reading, PA

Here are my top five expert level mountain bike skinnies at Mt Penn: Teeter Totter Skinny, Network Skinny, Rock Skinny, DUI and No Joke. A lot of folks think big jumps, drops, slabs and technical lines when you mention MTB at Mt Penn, but there are several great skinnies there too. And while there are plenty of beginner/intermediate level skinnies, this video will focus on 5 of the most difficult ones. 1) Teeter Totter Skinny Located just 5 mins from Skyline, this skinny is famous for having a see saw built into it. The highest point is only 2 ft. off the ground, but it is well over 50 ft. long. There are also few rocks and speed humps at the end to up the difficulty level. https://www.trailforks.com/poi/13451/ 2) Network Skinny You can find it along the trail labeled “Network Bottom” on Trailforks. It is about 25 ft. in length with a 3 ft. drop and an 8” pad to ride on. To get on you navigate a narrow branch that’s curvy with a few humps. The exit ramp is short, but at 45 degrees, you may need to do a small endo turn. 3) Rock Skinny AKA “Old School” Located above the “Network” this skinny is 35 ft. in length with a 5 foot drop. At the start you will be greeted with a short but slim skinny to a rockover, followed by a slight turn to enter the main stretch. The 45 degree exit is 4 ft. off the ground and will require a slight endo turn. https://www.trailforks.com/poi/18178/ 4) DUI Located at the end of Stonehenge Rock Connector on Trailforks, we call this one DUI due to its proximity to the Wine Cellar. It is 30 ft. long with a 3 ft. drop and includes a bail out point 20 ft. down on the left. It starts with a rock up and tight turn on to the log which is not flat. The log gets skinnier and higher off the ground before dipping down at the exit. 5) No Joke This is actually a combination of several skinnies in a line we call No Joke. The start is located off Chunk Chutes and Ladders on Trailforks. There a total of 6 skinnies of varying lengths, widths and heights along this tough route so make sure you bring your “A” game if you attempt it.
