Awesome Berm Practice Trail!

[@timwright-p9l]

You are making a strong comeback. We appreciate the beginner videos. Fundamentals are the most important part of biking

[@agooser26]

Good to see you back on the bike, always enjoy your videos. My hands go numb too... it has been a long tome since I have been on the bike, you are inpiring me... maybe I will start riding again :) keep up the good work.

810mm??? Wow! You must give really good hugs! 🤗 😆 Love my local trail! Come back when Tornado is back in session.

Awesome rehab tour using the new GoPro. Trees lookin too close to your bars.

[@ethanflan4034]

Good to see the easier local trails highlighted, haven't been to this one yet, might have to check it out (once the weather becomes a bit more friendly).

[@PaulYacovone]

Great musical taste with those bands!

[@DescentAtBest]

That’s all me!

[@jeffmrowka9380]

This run reminds me of the mtb version of Wilmington trail at whiteface (i think). Just could do it forever and enjoy it

[@singlesniper6820]

Cant wait for the temps to drop some. I want to go out and ride more but dang that 100 degree NC humidity is no joke

[@lukas-a9234]

It's not that serious just bring a bunch of water

Carpal tunnel, brother. You've developed carpal tunnel syndrome. I shook it off for years and recently learned that's what it was/is. Right hand is fixed. I wasn't off the bike long. Left still needs surgery. There are combo thumb/wrist braces to wear at night that may alleviate your symptoms. Tell your doctor about it sooner rather than later. Keep up the videos! Personal redemption stories are inspirational

[@GrimTaquito1972]

Correct! Carpel tunnel.

@@GrimTaquito1972 I thought I was getting it for a while and I started doing wrist stretches - extending my arm and pulling my hand with the fingers facing down and the palm facing away from me. It took a while but I have no more pain in my hands/wrists. Possible he's too far gone and requires surgery, but doesn't hurt to try first, right?

[@GrimTaquito1972]

@@wematanye533 there is a good chance that it’s too far gone and surgery is needed. It sounds like I went down the same path as you did. I had the issue when riding motorcycles. I strengthened my core and took the weight off my wrists. Night/day difference once I did that! But it’s tough and takes a while.

[@GrimTaquito1972]

Also, we didn’t clear those trees. An F1 tornado came through and ripped them up. Trail didn’t have to move though thank goodness. But not intentional. 😆

[@DescentAtBest]

Whoa!!

[@wematanye533]

I had pretty bad finger pain from using SRAM brakes after just one ride. It's entirely possible I bled them wrong, or I need to be running HS2 rotors, but they just seem to take way more finger muscle to stop me than Shimanos. I switched back to Shimano and have no more finger pain even on long rides. Also: Are you running carbon bars? You might consider trying aluminum, as they seem to transfer less trail chatter into my hand than carbon bars.

[@DescentAtBest]

Yeah Sram brakes and carbon bars :(

[@knowledgeseeker2720]

Dude my Code RSC’s and Magura rotors work great. No hand problems.
