MTB is one of those skills that if I take any sort of break, I feel like a complete newb. I find I have to ride 3 times a week min to stay confident and keep my fitness up. Congrats on working again!

Hey Cat Delighted you are working again after losing your job during covid. I totally get how the falls have knocked your confidence - took me months to feel loose again after a bad fall up in Rostrevor. Keep going your confidence will come back! 😊

I find it hard to go from an e to a normal bike, just the extra weight of the e helps in the corners , normal e bikes are just too skitty and you end up running too soft sus to compensate

That’s interesting, I actually find going back to my analogue bike much easier as it’s so much lighter and nippy and also not as sore when it lands on top of you! 🤣

E-Bike vs analog... Have you tried flats vs clips to get the confidence back?
@CatMTBPilot
@CatMTBPilot Жыл бұрын
I have clips on the analogue and flats on the e so it helps me not to get too many bad habits I hope. Funny enough I don’t actually mind the clips at all now but would not like them on the heavy e bike as I think I’d be asking for trouble!

The worst crashes I’ve had have all been on ROOTS because there’s no warning they can be literally like ice ! Bpw has a black run called “ Enter the dragon “ with HUGE jumps but I tell you something it’s easier than the other trails because it’s got no roots to deal with, it has some big drops but I find that easier because you still have grip on the landing 😊keep it going and well done 👏 👏👏👏

@@CatMTBPilot Yeah definitely 👍🏾, if it’s wet even on a climb a slippery root can end up in a nasty way , my advice is to approach them straight or just go around so you can still carry on the ride , you’re going great though 😀

I’ve got a question about flying to ask you 😊( sorry I’m a geek I absolutely LOVE flying 😂) but when we’re on a flight and the engines slow down and we lose altitude why don’t the pilots just say “ we’re now beginning our descent “ because I crap myself thinking “the engines have stalled …why are we going so slow 😂!!!!!!
@CatMTBPilot
@CatMTBPilot Жыл бұрын
Some airlines have a procedure where they “ding” the seatbelt sign to alert the cabin crew that they are starting descent. But yes there is no procedure to alert the passengers, it’s probably because some days it may only be a stepped descent which means you’d only descend a small bit at a time. But it’s an interesting point!! 🤣🙌
