MOUNTAIN BIKING at SUNDANCE MOUNTAIN RESORT!

[@LucasCatania17]

really wish I sent that drop, but I'm stoked to try them out in a safer environment and come back for that one later! LIVE STREAM right after the video premiere at 6pm MST!

[@treydbarker]

LETS GO YOU CAME BACK!!!

[@thehungrytaurus5010]

went there for the first time this past weekend, first time downhill and to utah. saw the drop and i wanted to hit it so bad especially when i hit things like that before. but just couldnt get myself to.. but i did eat shit a couple times from the loose rocks so that did hinder it a bit

[@edcunningham5562]

Love your videos so much, the production quality and the shots are fantastic, and the videos aren't click baty bs like most yt videos but are just super chill/relaxing to watch

[@LucasCatania17]

i appreciate that man. hopefully its just an authentic experience of a day in the mountains.

[@ActionXander]

Sundance looks like an incredibly beautiful mountain! You continue to excel and it's so inspiring to watch bro. Btw the thumbnail is peak ART 👌🏻

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you bro! sundance is pretty rad. i HATE thumbnails. yours are always so good!

[@ActionXander]

@@LucasCatania17 could've fooled me 🤣 I find yours exceptionally well made! And thank you bro 🫶🏻 I have maybe three drafts of every thumbnail before I get to uploading 😂😩

[@ervinslens]

Wow, this is insanely beautiful work my friend, bravo! Shots are stunning!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks so much dude!

[@ccpmarch1980]

Good to see Luna back.

[@LucasCatania17]

back in business!

[@scottaiken210]

nice switch up...trails looked a lot tighter as well.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks scott! trails were tighter and looser!

[@drifterdogs]

The progression just puts a smile on my face everytime!

[@LucasCatania17]

appreciate the support man!

[@dbsranchr]

Dude, you are killing it out there!! I’m going to hate to see mtb season end, but your ski seasons don’t disappoint either.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks dude! fun adventures year round!

[@ethanwise04]

Getting after it🤘

[@LucasCatania17]

trying to man!

[@vayandas]

lovely vlog as always! really enjoying the mountain biking content! keep at it lucas!!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks so much! more to come!

[@christophermiller6573]

Lucas, Deer is one of the "plushest" resorts for Skiing (sometimes double grooming overnight on dump days). Same can be said about their MTB trails. Deer's trails are pristine for the most part. What you experienced at Sundance was more in line with other Bike parks. Mammoth for example, has loose and chunky trails compared to Deer (except for the Town Trail where everyone rides). You just happened to start your Bike park riding journey at Deer, one of the most high end Bike parks out there ( (in terms of trail maintenance).

[@hoxleyholesoap]

When you compare summer lift ticket prices though, Deer Valley is hard to beat.

[@LucasCatania17]

I figured as much! I noticed the same when I rode at park city! I’m sure Whistler is deer valley x100 haha!

[@RawAndNomadic]

stoked for this one!

[@LucasCatania17]

enjoy!!

[@tt55k]

That is a beautiful area for sure!

[@LucasCatania17]

yeas dude seriously!

[@neverforgettr2276]

Man, that is a beautiful place.

[@hoxleyholesoap]

At this point of the season I would wait for an educated bike purchase next year. In fact check with the resort’s rentals to see if they would be willing to sell a rental bike. Sometimes they cycle through old bikes to get the latest models and might be willing to sell some stock for a discount. Also bike shops will discount last year’s models in the middle of winter. That might be the opportune time to find a deal. Good luck.

[@LucasCatania17]

Yes totally! Not pulling the trigger on anything yet but hopefully I can scoop something up at a good price.

[@MZ-bl6wg]

I’m blessed to live 5 minutes from here in Provo Canyon, what an epic environment! Did you hit Moab 2 hours south east after? Fezarri’s HQ is jsut 10 minutes from here in Orem, sure they’d love you to stop by , great company !

[@owen_som]

If the suspension is bottoming out that much I would imagine that its an air pressure issue. Probably just needs more air

[@LucasCatania17]

Good to know! Just weird bc we set it according to my weight

[@Ragincajun0816]

Really enjoying your mtb videos! A little more air in the fork would’ve definitely helped, but having a bike with a little more travel for the faster/chunkier downhill trails is ideal. A Fezzari Delano Peak or La Sal Peak would be a little more suited for the riding you did there. Fezzari makes a solid bike for the price.

[@LucasCatania17]

Good to know! I asked if they had anything bigger and that was all they had. Definitely needed a bigger enduro style bike

[@adventurercarlo115]

perfect sunny weather! Looked like u had a pretty ganrly crash tho haha

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha yeah it was all good tho bro!

[@shawneggers4484]

Not sure what your travel was on the front fork but you probably just needed more air :). If that happens again, take it back to the shop, they’ll adjust it for you. Don’t worry, you’ll soon have your own bike, a shock pump along with other stuff to keep you dialed in lol!

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah I think so too! In retrospect, I shoulda went back to the shop..

[@jamesmartinez458]

Loving the bike stuff! Surfing is next??

[@LucasCatania17]

I would love to learn how to surf!

[@jamesmartinez458]

@@LucasCatania17 jump into Luna and head West. We'll find an instructor for you ✌️

[@cliang001]

Prime time baby

[@LucasCatania17]

Literally just for u

[@Bryan-rl2ik]

Did they say anything about the front shocks? Like that is how that model is or there was more adjustment that could have made it better?

[@LucasCatania17]

You know, I didn’t really get into it that much. I just told him I was bottoming out the shock a lot

[@ADHski]

43k let's go!!! Out here ripping now, that's what its all about!

[@LucasCatania17]

Let’s goo appreciate that bro! Still growing the stoke even in the off season!

[@brianwilliams1840]

4:56 I think you are getting to the point that you are feeling the ride and understanding what’s going on under you. What do you carry in your pack? Shock pump, multi-tool, tire kit?

[@LucasCatania17]

my big camera, lens, tripod and gopro accessories!

[@brianwilliams1840]

Love the videos. The speed on that down hill through the trees got my blood pumping.

[@aaallllen]

Was the rental shop far from the lift? Or why not get the front shock looked at by the tech?

[@LucasCatania17]

it wasnt far haha. i probably should have..

[@Mr._Keeps]

Since you're obviously hooked it might be time to get a shock pump to dial in suspension while you continue to demo bikes

[@aaallllen]

@@Mr._KeepsGreat idea.... my old one has a somewhat pointy end and can be annoying to use for my rear shock. It looks like modern designs have flatter push ends and can even go to 400psi.

[@steveharris6916]

Lucas did you ask them if it was just set up too soft for you?

[@LucasCatania17]

i didnt ask them, but i feel like the shock pressure was just too low even though we set it according to my weight..

[@littlepony6762]

No hurry take your time get experience knowledge 👍🏾👍🏾

[@LucasCatania17]

yup totally!

[@tt55k]

You had that jump , it was an easy one , looked difficult but it was easy

[@LucasCatania17]

i know! I shoulda just sent it..

[@Tripppaniwozik]

Loving the mtb vids! Do you think you are ever gonna check out the northeast? The trails are gnarly out there!

[@LucasCatania17]

maybe someday! theres so much in the west right now that its hard to justify driving out there at the moment!

[@lightzebra4634]

Your mind is gonna be blown when you go ride at a place like whistler bike park. The trail are so much different there.

[@LucasCatania17]

i know man. not sure if im ready for that haha

[@Staysendy_extremesports]

[@ChasstheBass]

Can I get a free pass? I’m coming within a week

[@mmodtomic7119]

LOL, the joke goes: there are 2 types of mountain bikers; those who love flow trails....and liars. That fork was not set up for you. You should never bottom out your fork unless you have made a grave error in judgement on the trail. It either needed more air pressure or more volume spacers or both. As for drops, you are opening up a real can of worms there. Perhaps the most controversial subject in mountain biking! The ONLY video you'll ever need concerning drop is this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ6QY4WIjduYebM

[@LucasCatania17]

ha thanks man! i figured something wasnt right in the shock! i did my first drops yesterday and it was awesome!

[@darinsmith2458]

you did not look comfortable on that bike and on those trails..

[@LucasCatania17]

a little different for sure!

[@luigimassello4357]

Needs more & better travel. Don’t do ramps yet you haven’t learned enough basics yet be patient consider an athletic intermediate skier trying double blacks
