[@LucasCatania17]

definitely my best day on the bike so far! big thanks to jay for guiding me around and showing me how its done! trying out powder mountain today!

[@jayskis]

It was such a fun day and thanks for the laps!!! It's amazing seeing your progression picking up a new sport. Enjoy the learning experience, and let's get some more laps in soon!!

[@BreauxSegreto]

Enjoy brother! Great progression 👍 Peace

[@skipatrollife-southernutah7805]

Hell yeah man! I'm stoked that you are doing MTB videos now, I am a Ski/Bike Patroller down at Brian Head Resort. We have some new trails you might like.

[@LucasCatania17]

i might make a trip down there to check out the trails!

[@cliang001]

Way to commit to doing that drop man, Hell yeah

[@LucasCatania17]

haha looks so mellow on camera

[@ronwilson5210]

Dude! Just catching up. You & Jay crushing it. Fearless! No fall zones, and you are ripping it! And, nice "Sunnies". I Left a nice review @ Zipline. ... But, I have got to get you a new hat! 😅

[@LucasCatania17]

hey ron thanks so much dude! jay helped me a ton. and so glad you like the sunnies haha!

[@ericgulseth74]

Hat's OP, but I do have something in the works for Lucas too. Just need to pull the trigger.

[@ericgulseth74]

Hahaha. The mount on the bike going up the lift. Great stuff! Love the "drone" shot off the front if the bike. Looked like flying through the woods. Also love bringing in the music right before you conquered that drop off the trail.

[@ronwilson5210]

I am just catching up, and watching this on Friday night. Dudes are crushing on it! And i's nice to see jayski from a perspective other than POV! LOL😊

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks eric! i appreciate the fact that you recognize more of the art and production in these episodes. really liked that droneish shot through the trees and really liked that moment of triumph with conquering the drop!

[@marklambert8111]

Keep up the good progression man! Love the new mtb videos!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you bro!

[@thedemonhamster]

Your point about riding with people that are better than you is spot on! Best way to progress without just sending it.

[@LucasCatania17]

yes definitely! the safest way to get better imo!

[@Couponz89]

Next trail you should check out is Devo to Old School on lower mountain. It's another single black tech trail but more challenging than Twist. Also you could definitely hit Undertow, it's a single black flow trail but it's really a blue besides 2 steeper berms that give it it's black rating.

[@LucasCatania17]

ive been doing undertow! so much fun! thats the trail at 17:32. gonna check out devo next!

[@jayskis]

That's my favorite to link up! Aspen Slalom/Freestyle then up Homestake to Devo/Old School

[@skiman4617]

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks dude!

[@austinblades3602]

Glad to see you're enjoying MTB! Started watching your channel during my first season skiing, and now you've picked up biking just after me too! Shame we don't have any bike parks like this near me, I have to earn every run down with a climb up haha

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man! definitely having tons of fun with it! the bike parks are definitely nice haha makes it easier to produce videos as i heard mtbers dont watch climbing

Legend has it that Jay came out of his mother's womb with those calves

[@LucasCatania17]

legend has it jay wasnt even conceived from a womb

[@ActionXander]

@@LucasCatania17 immaculate stoke conception

[@ronwilson5210]

Man he picked it up quick. Slaying. But what did I suspect. I described Lucas to my co-workers, today, as top 5 dudes...of all time!

[@darinsmith2458]

i noticed his bike looked small but clearly he was able to make the bike do as he wanted.. also i noticed when you bike with others it brings out the best in you.. i mention that because on my last day of skiing i am pretty sure that i skied with the best skier on the mountain and it definitely brought out the best in me..

[@darinsmith2458]

before i forget.. when you had the lesson and she was talking about when you turn your head that it turns your whole body.. that is different than skiing.. skiing you always want your head and shoulders pointed down hill.. you don't want the upper body to move too much..

[@LucasCatania17]

definitely right man! just gets the juices flowing haha. i think he was on a size large bike

[@LucasCatania17]

have fun man - start small!

[@mmodtomic7119]

Doing great. Hard to tell from the footage but it looks like you might want to move your brake levers in more towards the stem so it's easier to do One finger braking. You might want to position the lever so that your index finger grabs the lever easily at the outermost point for greatest leverage, leaving your other Three to firmly grip the bars.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks so much dude. you're likely definitely right about the brake placement haha. its not my bike so i've been hesitant to move or adjust anything. maybe thats why ive been getting such a mega arm pump after a few laps haha

[@oc__captures]

nice...nice..nice!!!! Love the videos man

So fun watching you progress so fast!!! I still can’t wait to watch you drop 5-10 grand on a bike lol! Wouldn’t be surprised if your channel gets a vendor to give you one :) You deserve it.

thanks shawn! definitely having fun out there - and yah!! think im still leaning towards the santa cruz nomad but dont know if i should just wait till next year
