So good! The gnarly rocky switchback chutes on Boneshaker had hikers coming up it when I hit it. Luckily they weren't on the trail when I was coming down it though, they had stepped aside. It definitely would not have ended well for any of us if they were on the trail when I was coming down it. Such fun downhill tech! Way to hit the drop!

This is awesome! You can thank Candlelight Homes / Firefly for their vision and commitment to implementing all of these great ammenities into the community (including the pump track and skate park at the heart of Firefly). And of course to the trailbuilders, Avid Trails, for bringing the ideas to dirt (and asphault)! Let's hope for more to come 🎉

@jeffreyanderson5610 What an awesome way to create a fun outdoor community! My friends and I have had a lot of fun riding the trails. I would love to live in a place like that. I'll have to check out the pump track as well. I hope they not only maintain these trails but also build more. My local trails are a lot of fun as well, but unfortunately, the city didn't account for proper maitenance. Luckily, a local has recently stepped up and has got the ball rolling. The city doesn't want to pay a lot but is willing to let dig days happen.

What's with the vertical video? They suck.
@smileysadventures193520 күн бұрын
I agree. They get more views, and with these short Jumplines I've been riding, they're not as time-consuming to edit. We're heading out to a couple of Jumplines soon, and I'm hoping to make a longer video. The computer I'm using is outdated and slow. When I use Rory's footage, it bogs it down. Hopefully Santa gets me a computer🤣🤞
@MusicManMTB19 күн бұрын
Lol. Unfortunately most people watch videos on a phone that they hold vertically these days. James' footage in vertical mode might be getting skewed a little funny from cropping? I dunno. I personally prefer the vertically videos. To me, they show the trail better than usual KZbin wide videos on a chest mount that seem too close to the bike and don't give enough vertical perspective.

I custom built up my own e-bike with a LBM that installed the motor kit onto the new bike frame. Results? I love it! I am thinking about electrifying my other one too in the future. I often encourage anyone that may have a little interest in cycling to also try e-biking.
