Intense euc trail riding and rider mentality tips and tricks

[@chobofo]

this was a dope ass video w/ great commentary throughout!

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Thank you I appreciate that! I’m just now really trying to make serious videos for the past few months vs my first vids I used to do. 🙏

[@zacdarnell6724]

Awesome video 👌

[@4815163642]

Agreed! 💪😄

[@hankVa13ncia]

I bet the Master of even the T4 would probably eat this trail much better. Great video!

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Oh yeah they would! I’d probably pick the t4 for this particular one as it’s a fairly low speed (sub 35mph) trail

[@jtm94]

Very nice. Enjoying watching through these while it's still off season for me

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Thnxs man! Really appreciate that your enjoying them. I’m trying to start making tips and tricks about trail riding vids more often, trying to inspire others to get out and shred the dirt!

[@roghaj]

I would love to make the drive up there to hang with you for a day. there is one other guy down here in SoCal that can keep up also. might be fun to get together a couple times before we all head to Arkansas in September.

[@wattssingletrack8874]

I’m always game, I’m usually free on weekends so that’s my best riding times to coordinate 🤘👊

[@1young-geezer]

That was great. Thanks for the format: Thoughtful dialogue, fantastic riding. Also a lot of nice editing, and nice angle of camera.

[@nanoshock_fpv5264]

Thank you for this video !

[@fda182]

Another great video Chance. It's great hearing your breakdown of the trail and the riders thought workflow. I couldn't agree more when saying that "gassing it" over a challenging spot is almost always better than slowing down. I like to think of it like we have limited bandwidth for our riding thoughts, and overthinking it (or little chasing dogs) can take away too much and we end up crashing as a result. Thanks again for sharing this.

[@RayArmstrong-fl2lf]

You need an EXN HT for your arsenal! Has all the range but less weight than the commander pro!!

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Absolutely not lol why would I want a plastic shelled 100v wheel with no suspension 😅 I’d never buy a solid axle again

[@RayArmstrong-fl2lf]

You sure did love that RS. So I thought solid axel had a place in your heart

[@RayArmstrong-fl2lf]

@wattssingletrack8874 it's 100V that goes farther than all the other wheels, weighs less, and is faster 😆 js

[@Riceman-o1p]

Dude! I'm exhausted just from watching! 😂 i'm 57 and on my eighth day of learning. I am hell-bent on getting good at this. All my friends think I'm an idiot. Screw them!

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Never to old to ride eucs Iv got a few friends in their 50’s who ride trails faster than most young people !!

[@privileguan9127]

1st rule: You are going to fall. Embrace it, but don't try to tank with your face. 2nd rule: Use coca*ne or meth, it inhibits pain. 3rd: Don't follow rule #2 or you will die as a sad junkie.

[@wattssingletrack8874]

LOL 😂

[@olcamo1]

If you have not crashed you are doing it wrong :D Good to hear thoughts on trails. Lots of people posting vids of them riding around with nothing else, I mean, you can just carry a mirror while riding lol. Would be nice to see a video with full breakdown on the gear, why the specific pieces and good alternatives, also on viable euc for proper trails.

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Ok ya I can try to make something like that no problem.

[@Riceman-o1p]

When me and my buddies are doing hard electrical work we always say if you're not bleeding you're not working.

[@eucridez2062]

Love the teather for consideration of other people and the wheel safety

[@kingpaul7593]

Is that a trail in Briones? I love the trails in walnut creek.

[@wattssingletrack8874]

I think so I’m not familiar enough with the area

[@Musto_Master]

what is the name of the bicycle and rider connection belt??

[@wattssingletrack8874]

It’s a bike tow rope. And the wheel is an begode rs19 high torque

[@Jaebird82]

Subscribed. I really want to get into this sport. Was between an ebike or this. Have unicycle (non-electric lol) and xc mountain bike experience. Any recommendations for a bigger rider? 6'2" 260lbs. My riding weight will be more like 200lbs after I lost a few. There are so many options out there. I think suspension is the way to go as i'm 40 and have some nerve pain. Any recommendations?

[@Jaebird82]

I should add, I'm looking to do fire road riding and smooth single track (not like this lol)

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Well only 2 suspension wheels that are really worth a damn are KingSong s22 which I have a review video on and the begode Master which Iv got 2 review videos on my channel. Recommend watching them and hopfully they can help you in your decision. Personally I’d go master vs s22 but they each have their quirks and flaws vs each other

[@drumbri]

How do you find all these cool trails? Any trail map web sites you can recommend?

[@wattssingletrack8874]

I use all the trail apps, all trails, trail forks, mtb project, Strava ect. All of those, the. Go look for black diamond trails only and that’s what I do

[@slidersgliders5516]

Hey where do you buy the teather strap at that you use ?

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Look up “cibi bike tow rope” on Amazon. They go out of stock fast so gotta recheck semi frequently

[@EdLrandom]

wait, will the tether hold your lift sensor or what? or do you have it off and just let it spin?

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Lift sensor can NOT be engaged if moving over 1mph so it isn’t an issue but no lift switch still works like normal

[@nowEUCme]

Awesome video man! Love the tips! What PSI do you normally run your tyre? Is that an MSP HT?

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Rs ht. And I run about 40 psi on trails

[@GeO82]

Nice riding and keeping control over the rough downhill terrain! during the crash did you hit your helmet on the ground? I am still debating with myself to get a full face, because most of the time we bail pretty safely but its kinda for that one day! The tether saved your riding day.

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Oh yeah i smacked the front chin bar and visor of my helmet pretty hard, I 100% recommend a fullface. I use the iXS trigger super light helmet. And yea tether saved more than just that day a wreck like that can total a wheel

[@privileguan9127]

The only question worth asking here is: How much do you value having a jaw? Just get a full face helmet, silly.

[@wattssingletrack8874]

@@privileguan9127 haha I hope your kidding bro this is a fullface helmet with a built in rebar style cage in the jaw structure. The ixs trigger is a very well known helmet.

[@RocABye]

What’s the average amount of miles you do on a trail? I’m contemplating on getting an RS Resolute vs the RS HT. Also, why not use a Suspension wheel? Is it due to the lack of torque or weight the current suspension wheels have?

[@wattssingletrack8874]

I do about 25-35 miles on ride really depends what I ride. And the reason no suspension wheel is so far they’ve all been too problematic for a trail wheel and have issues. The rst is a simple reliable and effective wheel for me.

[@teabagNBG]

i would brake my neck lmao

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Lol 😂
