I like the narration, makes it educational so I learn something.

If only I could bunny hop over the whole log.

[@301ws]

Keep it up!

That motor rattle would drive me nuts

[@slowerwithdonuts]

It did drive me nuts. We figured out that the headset was loose, so the sound you are hearing is not the motor.

[@singletrackbandit]

Ha ha ha. I am a mess!

[@slowerwithdonuts]

We both are

[@superaveragedan30]

Nicely done!

Posting a video on KZbin of illegal trails in some one else’s town is the lowest of low

[@slowerwithdonuts]

Thanks for your comment; it helps boost this video and spread the word about the trails.

E-bikes are hazardous trash; hiker killers.

[@slowerwithdonuts]

Thanks for your comment, positive or negative; it helps push the video out on KZbin. In response to your comment, I would probably group regular bikes in with the e-bikes. Happy hiking.

@@slowerwithdonuts There’s no boundaries anymore, E-bikes are riding trails that were previously unrideable. There’s no safe place to hike. Mountain Bikes = 30 lbs, E-bikes = 100+ lbs on average

[@slowerwithdonuts]

Thanks for the comment! My analog bike is about 38 pounds, and my e-bike is 49 pounds-definitely far from 100+ pounds. Plus, people weigh much more than the bikes! It’s all about sharing the trails responsibly. Happy hiking and biking!

E-bikes are actually prohibited here on these trails in demo, but riders don’t really seem to care. I doubt it will cause any access issues here, but still something to consider. Nice video though.

You were a day too early. My battery died on the downed tree.
