@@burrellbikes4969 I didn't miss the point, I explained why videos like this haven't happened lately. It's great single-track is back on the trail with his friends, I love it too. It's the implying that he took a break by choice that I take issue with. He had an injury he couldn't "JUST RIDE!" as you previously stated. Dunno if you've ever had an injury that has stopped you from doing what you enjoy before but taking a break to prevent harm to your body so you can do what you love for longer shows admiral levels of dedication and encouraging someone to ride hard before they have recovered from an accident is not anything I'd push my own friends to do. I'm a fan of single-track because he appears very aware of his skill-level and capabilities as a rider.
