Hi, enjoy your videos Was at Mogo recently without my MTB 🤦🏻♂️ Visited the excellent FoxDog Distillery & noticed lot cars with MTBs heading into the bush about 200mtrs from Distillery but on eastern side. Is that the climbing trail that brings you up to Dog Trap Rd & trail head?
@malmtb 4 күн бұрын
What you are probably seeing is a trail leading upto the new section XC/Natural trails seperate to existing XC and Gravity network). It maybe a pirate entry into finished but not 'launched' trails??? A bit of guess here on my part but if East of the Hwy, they wont link well with the West.

Interesting film. I’m 50 and crashed on a slow speed turn, trying to take it easy …and chipped my humerus, with a small tear of one of the muscles. 8 weeks off work as an airline pilot, couldn’t even lift my arm above my head. I rehabbed like mad and it still took 6 months before I could do gym work like before (eg push ups, bar hangs etc). I’m lucky in that MTB isn’t my sole focus, much as I love it but my work wouldn’t thank me if it happened again. I’m back on the bike but definitely more measured. You only have one life and you can’t wrap yourself in cotton wool so props to you guys. If you sit on your arse and give up you’ll be more of a burden in later life !

My first crash was broken ribs and a punctured lung doing a stupid jump, I now do jumps that are 10 times bigger but I have never reattempted that jump! Fortunately I didn’t require surgery. It was a long and painful recovery but I made it harder for myself by not resting and not following medical advice. Three years later I haven’t had a bike for two weeks (getting repaired) and I’m literally loosing my mind. If it’s not fixed by tomorrow I’m going to by another bike. I had no idea the impact that riding has on my mental health until now. Thank you to all the people who’ve shared their stories on this video. Glad I’m not the only one who is literally addicted to riding…

I’m late 50’s and messed up since last May. Failed physical therapy and finally had surgery early this month. I’m just now back on a stationary bike and feeling pretty good so far. I should be able to get onto mellow trails this April when the snow melts. I think I’ll eventually be in as good or better shape as before my injury, but they say that could take up to a year. As I’ve said in prior comments, only time will tell how willing I’ll be to send the gnar once I recover. But I guarantee I’ll be with my bike, on top of a desert mesa, wishing the world a Merry Christmas in December 2025. & 2026. & 2027…and so on. The summer before my injury I remember seeing a senior couple, late 60’s at least, riding up one of my favorite single track networks and keeping a steady pace. My wife and I will be like them someday. Cheers and happy trails from USA.

G'day Jim, thankyou. Finding a way to ride well into my 60's and 70's is my goal. Getting back on the bike now and building stability and confidence is my first step to that From the top of a Mesa, I imagine the world is your audience. Shout loud, shout true 🤟🏻

An absolute master class weaving everyone's stories together Carl. Thanks for letting me be apart of the project and sharing my story.. Injury and all the baggage that inherently comes with it is so personal. Everyone deals with injury differently and in their own unique way. For some, it's glass half full. And others, it's I don't even have a glass. Hopefully this vid will provide inspiration and hope for anyone going through a similar MTB setback, or at least stand as a warning that this sport has no mercy if progression is your focus, and its not if you'll get injured, but when! Looking forward to seeing you back on 2. Here's to an injury free 2025 🎉

i'm 59, currently injured, been almost unmovable for 4 months, just told today that it is 3-6 more months and up to a year more for full recovery. Great video, we all feel it at times, but riding is just too good to even think about stopping. Matter of fact, it's the inspiration for a good recovery.
@malmtb Күн бұрын
True that Jason. As we get older the idea of getting back to the fitness of the day before injury feels less likely. But riding again in a way that brings the feels and vibe is a minimum bench mark. Good luck Jeff 🤟🏻. Reach out any time 👍
