Emma Long City Park - Austin, Texas Mountain Bike

[@CooperSellers]

Emma is rough when it is humid... Video doesn't come close to doing those ledges justice. I still haven't been able to sack up and do the drop at 0:30 since I took a nasty spill there a couple years ago...

[@Gotdurt]

+Cooper Sellers Yea, it was brutal, think I'll wait until winter before I return, lol. As for the ledges, that's one reason I've started using a rear camera; the videos are longer, but it helps shape the terrain in your mind a little better. The drop at :30 will mess with your head... it isn't bad by itself, but the rough terrain leading to it makes it tough to line up right and carry much speed, otherwise it's mind over matter.

[@CooperSellers]

Yeah, it's that rooty tree gate right before it that is in my head (and was what instigated my fall a couple years ago)

[@TranslateToEnglish]

Ive never figured out why people shoot from behind. Its just not the same as not knowing what is ahead.

[@Gotdurt]

It's to give more dimension to the terrain since the front flattens things out so much; you get to see things from both directions to get a better feel for what to expect.

great video , your bike looks super cool , what is it?

[@Gotdurt]

It was a Yeti ASR5, this was one of my last rides on it.

[@jtaraiza2480]

I'm gonna be heading out here this weekend, and watched this video to decide whether to bring flats or clips b/c I'm kindof new to clips so I dont wanna kill myself. This video convinced me to ride flats lmao!!! This looks sick af😂

[@Gotdurt]

Either way, really; this was my first time riding flats on this trail. Clipless makes climbing the ledges a little easier, especially for that last bit of 'umph' over the top ledge in a series of ledges ;)

Easton Havoc, 50mm

[@Gotdurt]

Nope, wife is away for the weekend and I have the kiddos. Will probably be later next week before I get out again.

[@hugopuente7439]

that trail looks just to fun. I will most definitely make that trip to Austin.

[@foolishevil]

Do you need to adjust your bikes geometry to accommodate the weight of all the water that gets caught in your beard?

[@keithrad7082]

"Raindrops keep fallin' from my head"...would have been an appropriate tune while squeegeeing the sweat from your brow hehe. Solid riding and edit as usual. I still need to learn how to use the GoPro edit software. Got discouraged and quit trying a while back.

[@jf6706]

What bars are you running? Those look like exactly what I'm looking for

[@Gotdurt]

They are Funns, I forget which model. These are 785mm width and 20-25mm rise, I believe.

[@jf6706]

Nice! im going to try and find them

[@Bas3dG0dK1ng]

What's your bike build

[@Gotdurt]

+Brody Fredrick This one was a 2013 Yeti ASR-5 with a AM-biased build, Fox Factory 34 160 fork internally set at 150.

[@disbanded1]

I've dry-heaved there a few times...

[@pwdt4r313]

I do the same thing to squeeze the sweat out of my helmet lol.
