AVRAGE Mountain Bike Rider Attempts PRO's ONLY TRAIL

[@thebackyardsender]

you made it this far please subscribe,currently I’m going through a low point, recovering from a pretty severe biking injury, it really helps to know how much you care.

[@GTurbski]

What happened man?

[@thebackyardsender]

I was in a race, I really wish I knew what happened but I was unconscious when they found me and no one saw it happen. I’m feeling a bit better but I still got at least a week in the hospital.

[@GTurbski]

[@lmay4642]

Sorry to hear of your accident. Get better soon! Stay positive!

Hope you recover quickly

If you ride pro lines, then you are not an average mountain biker

[@VBMichael_D]

Not sure what type of bike but if you try to ride these types of trails with an XC frame bike, you are probably not a pro, because you don't know better. LOL

[@bermchasin]

@@VBMichael_D hey we cant all just be buying new bikes all the time. nothing wrong with sending pro lines on XC bikes.

@@bermchasin yep I raised the expert riders to from the top of an Enduro trail with dirt jumps to and beat them all. Guess what, they were in their teens and I'm age 50. They had expensive bikes to, they've been riding for year's. I'd been riding only for six months. They didn't like it and refused to talk to me at the bottom of the trail.

Dude-you are much better than you are giving yourself credit for. Great job. I was over here at my computer having a heart attack for you.

Glad you enjoyed it, I practically had a heart attack riding it too.

Really wasn’t that hard. I haven’t ridden in years and outside of maybe my arms and legs getting tired that course is EZ level.

The way you were breathing so hard, waiting for you to crash, has me on the edge of my seat! Awesome video and you're an above average rider if you can ride that trail.

Yea I probably am, glad you enjoyed the video though.

Dude you shredded that, taking on new challenges is how we progress. Don’t stop

Thank you 🙏 after this I hit many more prolines and I’m happy with my fast progression.

I've been riding 40yrs. You are NOT average. Go Shine!

Thank you so much, I’m really happy with my current progression,

[@jeromep4148]

This trail was mega rage. Nice job. I particularly liked how you did most of the wooden sections one-handed.

[@thebackyardsender]

Thanks a lot. I have my camera mounted right under my visor and it would fall down on some of the jumps, so I used the wood to fix it

[@elguero7185]

I don't beleive the average mountain biker does that 1 handed at all

[@Spadluv]

From an average rider to another, you are shredding hard. Repetition and progression are the key. We can ride anything while staying safe. Subscribed!

[@thebackyardsender]

Staying safe is key, I’m really happy with my progression tho.

Great job! Hell, my heart was racing just watching that!

@@thebackyardsender Your definitely not giving yourself credit dude. Well done.

[@Jemgirly]

There must be different classes of “average rider”😂

[@reverentalexanderchezeley-6367]

@@Jemgirly whether we ate beginner, intermediate or expert, we are all much better mountain bikers than we give ourselves credit for. We are way to hard on ourselves. We've inherited an art form passed down to us, that most people simply don't have the courage or confidence to do. We're hardcore adrenaline junkie extremists. It's the way we are built. Our brains ain't wired up properly, lol.

[@matterisstrings]

Nice! When I saw that line from the climbing trail, I knew I would not be riding it. All that stuff is much bigger and steeper than the GoPro makes it look!

[@thebackyardsender]

It really is. I had the same exact feeling climbing up the first time, but throughout the day improved so much. I also realized that the trail gap was the easiest feature there bc it was so smooth. Just really hard to commit to.

[@MelGle001]

You rocked it, brother. Here's hoping you're recovering and healing quickly ✌️

[@thebackyardsender]

Thank you so much, I am finally able to go for walks again but probably will only start riding again next spring. I did have some more videos scheduled before my crash in case you care

Like a chill blue in Squamish.

[@bappodocrappo]

thats what im saying

[@frozenbean]

Was just thinking the same thing!

You guys out there are literally so lucky with your trails. If I had the chance I would move to Squamish in a second

[@nativeazboy]

Your way above average! That was impressive

[@thebackyardsender]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@charlielynes]

Bro... that is really sick. Once you overcome the first run on a pro-line your whole outlook on your riding changes. YOU are capable, YOU can connect & clear multiple bigger features, YOU recognised the need to now change your suspension setting. I know how the camera flattens things out and I could hear your commitment to each feature. Well done, Bro. ☮️💜🚵‍♀️ L&Sub'

[@level-III]

Dude you shredded that trail and made it look easy! Great job. Somebody already said it but you're way better than you give yourself credit for.

I’m glad you enjoyed it, I keep down talking myself but I won’t anymore

Bro you crushed it! And you just earned a new sub!

[@thebackyardsender]

Appreciate it!

[@FelixYim]

Solid line choice over the steep tech and good control on the drops. Can defs see you hitting this track with higher speeds over time with practice. You're definitely better than the average rider!

and even a bit of steez at the end too!

[@reverentalexanderchezeley-6367]

Great shredding dude. Your bound to go a bit slower first time down it (unless your thick like I am lol). Nervous and heavy breathing, most of us get that no matter how good we are. Next time you hit the trail choose your line's and ride it faster, next time after that faster again, and so on and so forth. Keep rocking, I'm still shredding free-ride and dirt jumping at age 50, so is my wife at age 53. Then again we both have adhd and we ain't right in the head, lol. God bless you. Be encouraged.

Yea 27.5 was pretty hard on some of the stuff, did bottom out a couple times too.

What's the camera setup for this? Type of cam and if there is a chest rig or whatever . It's very stable. I have a stinking phone in landscape mode with active stabilization enabled and it is still terrible.

The double black chunky stuff at the top doesn’t look that bad, but it could also be the GoPro effect making things look flatter and easier than what they really are.

Most of the top was pretty chill but the GoPro affect was pretty serious on some parts.

If you're average, I might as well forget it....what is a lower level than absolute beginner!😂

[@thebackyardsender]

Maybe I’m just not giving myself enough credit,😂

[@ScottB-k7v]

You are not average (I am not either - but I am below the line). In Washington/BC, that would be considered a a single to double-black-diamond (well marked - drops ins & doubles). Some of the "don't attempt" lines here are so stupid, even the pros don't do them (off-camber, thread-lines, all with fall-offs that you won't walk away from). Regardless - that's a tough-ass trail and you nailed it. Once you do it slow, it's easier faster (not that I should give you advice).

[@SenderKingZ]

The gopro effect makes it look so much smaller than real life

[@ralphcrosby4051]

Good job stayed focused 🎉

[@thebackyardsender]

Thank you 🙏

[@matto4539]

You did a great job on that but that seems far from a proline at least for New England standards. If you were at thunder mtn or highland that would be a black at best. Come to New England!!! You’ll have a great time and be a pro in no time the way you’re going! Keep ripping

[@rgrass2]

I tried to ride one of Whistler's black diamond trails. Fell down 3 times in 10 minutes. Realized it was beyond my skill set.

[@Zargon2854]

I kep watching you approach the drops and jumps like omg he is just a little to slow, but you made them all! I would not have made it halfway down before breaking something.

[@thebackyardsender]

It’s kinda crazy how slow you need to hit most drops, however, it was mainly a confidence thing because the trail was so well built

[@HorizonVertigo]

GoPro did you dirty there. If it looks like a blue run on the cam you know for sure it's ☠️☠️☠️ When I'm watching something like Rampage and thinking "I could probably do that..." is when I remind myself that there is some executive at Red Bull praying a rider doesn't die live on video.

[@sublime929]

I only fell three times watching this.

[@thebackyardsender]

Happy to hear you’re OK my friend

[@0001754]

Good job buddy, only thing I can hear is you need a bit more brake modulation, weather it is the brakes or the braking I can't tell

[@thebackyardsender]

I did bleed my breaks right after this so it could have been that, but it’s more likely that the 27.5 wheels on my bike make me slow in the tech. That being said I’m still very guilty of skidding a lot.

Sick what video settings?

You are not an average man biker. You would need a downhill bike and above average skills to maintain enough speed. Great ride though, I couldn’t do it with out crashing a dozen times.
