This repetition narrative is exactly what I needed to hear. I feel like so many people at the bike park are lucking their way through jumps that are outside their abilities, rather than building the muscle memory that leads to confidence.

Really great how you jump into the nuisances of setting up yr bike and the importance of making small adjustments and test/try!

There approach of choosing your lines/path has a lot in common with motor racing on a circuit, in terms of what you wanna achieve (go fast, smooth, fun, etc.). Track-knowledge is a BIG advantage, but looking forward far enough is just as important!

I love old-school downhill bikes. 👌👌 We don't have bike parks here. Only natural trails so an old school DH bike is enough.

Love the bike design kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.

I wear glasses with a full face Enduro helmet (Troy Lee Stage). Can’t wear goggles while climbing, too hot and taking goggles off no sun protection on my eyes and face. Glasses much cooler to climb and DH air flow for enduro.

Yup - I'm a long torso short leg guy, and I ride a medium (should be on a large), but I run 1" of spacers and a 25mm rise bar....gets it right in the pocket for me. It's a bit of a princess and the pea situatoin for getting your handlebar in a position that puts you in the neutral position on the bike. Great observation and something everyone should ponder.

I used to duo ride, my friends lack of time means it's mostly solo now and it's a big mental difference. Self rescue in paramount. 1. Not getting hurt so now I wear full armour it's subtle enough. Slow ride new trails or any where it's been a while. Be nice to other users (horsesriders/dogwalkers/hikers) chances are solo it'll be one of them that helps you. 2. Hand packed First aid kit for mtb'ing and a rescue whistle. Winter I pack air activated hand warmers. Tools+small parts for my bike. 3. I leave a few energy gels in my pack ever since I forgot snacks. 4. I try to make rides in a figure 8 around the van or start on the trails furthest and ride back to the van 5. Back up gear in the van big first aid kit, tools/spares, clothes of different weather, suncream, electrolytes and lots of water. I would say phone but its flaky, you can't rely on it (no buddy to ride to the top of the hill for signal), still worth getting the number of whoever manages the land, along with sharing a live gps location with a friend.
