ending 2020 with a BANG // it's time to hit it

[@MikeKraemer87]

My 2020 has involved me getting into MTB, losing 70+lbs and shooting for around 100 more. Your channel is always inspirational man!

[@corymcmanues7905]

My season ended a little early with an accident, but before that was awesome. Hit the biggest drop i've done to date, jumping improved. Even with the injury so looking forward to 2021 and where I'll be at.

[@ossieljuarez1936]

Progression was amazing for me this year. I finally cleared the hardest section of trail at my local spot. At the beginning of the year it looked nearly impossible to me.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Nice work!

[@martinoinn4260]

Nicely done, thanks for the great content in 2020 from all of you, looking forward to more next year. Cheers!

[@armorall21]

Huge thanks to you and your family for all the tips, entertainment, and inspiration this year. My progression this year feels unreal! Started riding on May 7th on a budget hard tail thinking I just want to ride a bike outside and get some fresh air and fitness. FS came in July. Now I'm clearing 12ft drops, 10ft table tops, local Double Black trails, and climbing and descending 3000ft in a neighboring state. All at 48 years old. MTB is a life changing sport for me!! And 2020, while being a crazy ride, one of the best years I've ever had!! 🤔 I guess I need to start on my list for 2021. 😁

[@JoshGlessner]

I appreciate all the great content this year - especially the stuff riding with your family. It's inspirational to my wife and 5yo son who are both just getting into biking.

[@blainharris3259]

Nicely done Ryan..and Beth....... this has been a big year for my son and I, it was our first full year of biking, it’s been 3 new bikes and many new trails.. oh and a sweet new adjustable ramp, and a new manual/ bike stand (thanks for plans by the way). I subscribed basically right at beginning of year and your channel is always my go to and most anticipated every week for sure. All the best to the family over the holidays and look forward to a great next year!

[@Brett0206]

Progression from “too old and broken to ride” with no bike to two bikes (Norco Torrent S1 and Range A1) and building my skills again...riding Expresso on Mt Fromme and John Deere on Seymour were highlights for me. The videos you have made were real inspirations for me as I have tried to reclaim my life from a back injury. Thanks to you and other mtb you tubers for all the amazing stuff out there.

[@Gigglewatts]

Great video & congrats on hitting all of your challenges for 2020!! I love that “we are all on our own journey”! I started riding with my hubby in June of this year and am totally hooked! I’ve progressed lots in a short time and have even requested our Anniversary trip in April be to Bentonville!! (We live in Houston) 😀 I’m excited to see what 2021 has in store for us, for your channel and your family!! Keep up the great work!! We enjoy watching ya’ll ride!! Hopefully we’ll make it up to BC one day!! 😍

[@schwartzee9334]

Like the checklist idea... You and Beth put out some great content. I started this season with a completely severed ACL, got surgery in June and rode easy with no progression while on the mend. Worked perfectly slowing down as I brought my 7 year old and wife both into the sport and never had more fun. Can't wait to be rid of the snow...

[@lezee2545]

Thanks to you both for a year of great videos, count double for this crappy 2020. Wish you a great time for the holidays and already looking forward to spending 2021 onboard with you! Much love!

[@DMMTB]

Nice one Ryan, In 2019 my motto was progression but looking back it was actually progression at all costs. It cost me alright with two big crashes the 1st was a separated left shoulder & the 2nd 3 fractures in my wrist which cost me 6 weeks of the bike each time. 2020 I modified my motto to progress sensibly. I'm in my last year of my forties & while there was a lot crap happening around the world I managed to progress 2 or 3 times more than in 2019 ... see you in 2021 and happy new year to you, Beth & the boys 🤘

[@rmack611]

Nice work this year! Your whole family progressed so much this year its so fun to watch! Happy holidays to the loam family!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Awesome vid mate. We have just gone into more restrictions over here in the UK. I need cheered up and this is doing it. Have a great Christmas bro 👍

[@Vorstadtaffe]

First year on a fully, so a lot of progression for me this year :) But mostly i'm just very happy to even be able to ride in these times.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Absolutely. Enjoy the new ride!

[@patdrumm3770]

I slayed it with progression this year. A few bigger drops, a few bigger rollers. Once I slackened my head tube angle a bit and upgraded my suspension it gave me a bit more trust in my bike which allowed me to 'just send it' haha. Its always good to have something to work up to.

[@elidenning6276]

I've got one pair of gloves. They're 25 year old 661s. Last month, they started getting holes. Only pair I've had, but man they're amazing. Perfect fit and durability and everything. You're lucky to be sponsored by them.

[@TomKennedyUSA]

Started mountain biking in 2020: got 1st bike in May, got 2nd bike in August, got 3rd bike in December. :) Life is good.

[@merickrickman4092]

Mine took me 4 years. I broke my pelvis on Corral Trail in Tahoe, it took me till this summer to finally get faster than I was before the crash. Still get a little nervous on strange trails, and I'm 51 in a few days so I don't heal quite as fast as I used to, but I'm getting more confident. Good job on getting yours done.

[@da5idg00dman]

2020 was a prep year, but now I have a brand new Ripmo2 (Bug Zapper Blue), and am moving to northern California soon, so am ready to shred in 2021! Also, got decent at the GoPro and Davinci Resolve, thanks to this channel, so thanks for that. Can't wait to see what you guys do in 2021.

[@MrTom5]

My progression this year was from never mountain biking before to now making my own videos! Thanks for all the help, i learned a lot from you!

[@osianberg]

I hope your hand is ok! And nice work hitting the step-up!!

[@parkerdavis9238]

At the beginning of 2020 I wasn't really even feeling the passion... then came the pandemic. All I could do was be outdoors, and now that's the only place I want to be... on my bike. I started hitting the raw Santa Cruz trails and increased my confidence on technical enduro. I also wanted to start getting air. I began hitting small drops and little gappers. Then I went to Bellingham... I was totally stoked on all the amazing trails out there and it got me fully invested in MTB. It also made me realize I needed a bike to keep up with my fast-growing skills. I upgraded from a 2018 Santa Cruz Tallboy to a 2020 Santa Cruz Megatower and it injected a whole new level of confidence and stoke level for me. Now at the end of the year, I'm taking on some of the gnarliest, steepest stuff out in Henry Cowell and also hitting 20ft gappers and some pretty big step-ups! KZbinrs like The Loam Ranger and BKXC kept me so excited throughout the week as I worked my WFH desk job and anticipated the weekend riding to come. THANK YOU!

[@markRUshredding]

Wishing you and your family a happy holidays. Looking forward to a more normal 2021. Cheers.

[@robbundy1107]

Love how the channel is evolving, keep the videos coming! Merry Christmas!

[@RonnRider]

Well done Legend! You've definitely inspired me to progress this year. I finally did this road gap I've been eyeing for some time now and have more to tackle before the end of the year. Have a great Christmas and we'll see you in the New Year!!!

[@luketocknell8942]

Even on a GoPro that looks sketchy as heck. Nice job man 🤘

[@vivianfaithfull4748]

Just saw the distance in the very last fast pic when you bent down in front of the ramp gap. Gotta get those angles right to do yourself (and trail) justice. Happy Xmas and a gnarly new year🕺🚵

[@SlowpokeShred]

You’re stuff is just so high quality. Love your vids. Thanks for sharing your fam’s journey!

[@blefty3514]

I'm bout to go into my 2nd year mtb and i next year will be my first some at a real bike park

[@oldmantricksmtb758]

Great video and congratulations. I've been working on confidence, riding as much as I can. We went to Kanuga this year and it was eye opening compared to flat Florida. But I'm feeling good enough to start a channel as well. Still a work in progress, but I'll get there.

[@therealridedmc]

Loamranger must have got some sun ☀️ in the back of that shuttle truck. Inverse raccoon look at the end of the video! Congrats on completing your to do list!

[@xenocx1092]

Its been a year since i went biking, time to start hiting when it becomes warmer

[@fillfreakin2245]

Whhaaat, I was expecting Rossland trails next!?! Anyway, my progression kind of took a hit in July in the Whistler bike skills park when I tore my ACL. I was biking again about 10 days later, right into mid November, but I wasn't able to really push it. I'm hoping I can get surgery sometime in 2021 to get my knee back to 100%.

[@wheelersbicyclerepair6505]

Heck yeah that gets a guy stoked!!! Awesome work Ryan!! Incredible vid! Nice save on South Park! Cole and Jasen just looking majestic haha

[@ikeelu024]

What is that on your bars? Left hand side between the stem and dropper lever. Is it a mount for something. looks like its heavily padded.

[@TheLoamRanger]

That's my watch mount. I usually use my watch to track my rides, but it was out of battery that day.

So Awesome!!!! Glad you were able to conquer that!!! Dude that looked far on camera so you know it was huge!! Love what you said on progression as an individual basis.

What’s different? Every video is a bang!

[@TheRotundRider]

Broken bone and bike ruined what I had planned this year. :( However there were some big wins. Built my first ramp. Got my three oldest kids on their own bikes and riding some trails with me. Improved my riding and cornering a bit. Next year I want to get back to the Bike Ranch. Clear the three practice drops. Start taking to the air.

[@nofrontbrakes]

That impulse to “just send it” almost never happens for me. Great job!

You think the braking bumps are bad on Hoola girl but you have no idea. I live in California where it never rains in the summer. By the fall Pretty much all the trails have braking bumps and some trails have just huge holes in the trail.

Progression.. sometimes you just have to force it, but in the end it’s worth it. It’s like - when you finally hit that huge drop you’ve dreaded, then everything else feels like a breeze. ...For a while, Then you remember to get scared again and have to send something else. 🙄😁

This place looks awesome great riding as usual man! For me this year was my 1st year doing some downhill riding i made 4 trips total between two parks and man what a blast and i can totally relate on progression and how some people just send it! After my 1st few runs on my first trip i was like hell no im not doing that but as the day went on and w the help from some better riders me and my buddy started checking off features! By our last trip we added even more and that trip also the last time i was renting a bike my new enduro bike actually came in a couple days ago so i am already excited for 2021! A season pass is also another item all set for 2021! Racing atv’s I’m very comfortable jumping but i have to say bikes is so much different and i am loving every minute of it!

I literally was dead and now that I've gotten passed that I feel like it's time to live again. I live in lower Alabama. This is a picture of my bike I just got. Can you give me some advice on what else I should do or purchase to get going. My phone will not let me send a picture of my bike. It's a EUROBIKE.

[@armorall21]

I'm sure your local trail systems have Facebook pages. Join there and meet locals. See if there's a coach locally to get your basics and necessary riding skills dialed in (budget permitting of course). Maybe check it a few of your Local Bike Shops (LBS) and form a good relationship with them. Then just get out and ride. Changes/upgrades to you and your bike will come as you progress. Have fun!!

This was my first year riding, so my progression was pretty crazy. I love (and am totally stealing) your idea of having a specific to-do list of features for 2021, though. I have a few specific local ones in mind already. But I guess the big goal is to learn to actually jump -- I hit quite a few jumps in 2020 but I really have no idea what I'm doing. In 2021 I'm going to fix that.
