Now I know why it's called Hurricane | Turning a relatively easy trail into an epic | Hurricane, UT

#mtb #intermediate #utah #imba #epic #ytizzo
This was my first day (afternoon) of riding on a 6 day trip on UT, AZ and NM. This was a last minute change of plans and so, of course, I ran into some technical issues with my cameras and I was not that prepared so my legs cramped up (the joys of getting older). Regardless, what I recorded gives a good overview of the starkness if the terrain, the beauty and the impact the wind can have on a seemingly easy ride.
I welcome your comments and aim to reply to all (unless you're rude). Tell me what you liked and what you didn't to help me improve.

RE Tire Set Up: Just wanted to pass on that I had the same set up except a 2.6 Dissector in the front and thought it was not quite enough for my riding terrain (loose over hard). I then went to an Agressor (2.4) in the rear until it fell apart in less than a season - however it was amazing until it wasn't. So I went to 2.4 Dissector in the rear, keeping the same in the front (2.6) and have to say for the loose over hard stuff it's a pretty good set up. Not the lightest but I think it may be my unicorn setup for me. At the elast I would suggest Agressor for the rear the Recon is really trail/all mtn light. Probably be good for mid west bnut until then .... cheers Glad to see back on the "tube"

Good info. I found when I was in Sedona that tire pressure was key. I think I ended up at like 16 front and 20 rear which felt great but ultimately I added a few psi to protect my carbon hoops.

nice video ... i'm curious what app you used to get the overlay of the metrics on the left and the map on the right ? thanks, John

We cast to our 65” tv so we can tell the difference between the two cameras... still good but definitely a difference.

[@Roaming50]

Interesting! So the Hero 4 on the gimbal was better?

[@TXBubba76063]

@@Roaming50 definitely less grainy.

[@TXBubba76063]

I should clarify... the chest mount was grainy but the chin mount was a lot better. Not much of a difference in the chin and old vids.
