There's LOAM, and then there's BROWN POW.

This is the first video I've done without subtitles in a very long time. I felt like Wade's audio was crisp and clear due to my new mic setup, and so there wasn't a need for distracting text on screen. This also cuts down the amount of work I need to do, as I was animating in each line by hand without the aid of ai. Do me a favor, let me know what you think. Was the charm of the text worth the distraction on screen? Or do you prefer it clean like this?

The mic setup here is something all mountain bike youtubers should aspire to. I can hear the bike and partner perfectly. I say only subtitle if someone is garbled/too quiet, otherwise this is great. (But you might need a suspension service with how noisy your fork is lol)

[@DustyTrailsMTB]

​@ChristopherBloom thanks bud! I need to get a second mic for when I'm riding with more friends! My bike is always the noisyest one out there! And this is after bringing it into Adobe Audition and removing the brake chirping! Lol. I want a silent hub, but I fear I would just hear everything else more clearly.

[@ChristopherBloom]

@@DustyTrailsMTB , Corbin (@mtbcorbin) went with silent hubs and it's another huge improvement.

I'm gonna have to show my wife this comment. :D

I miss summer.

[@DustyTrailsMTB]

What about all-time fall time?

[@pixelc9560]

Hit some of that blown out loam yesterday. Slimy roots ftw.

[@O1D4]

If it's slimy you should probably not be riding loam... Ts ts ts...

[@DustyTrailsMTB]

@@O1D4 It sounds like the loam might be ok, but the roots are slimy. I've definitely ridden all time loam since this video with roots that are a bit sketchy for my taste!

[@pixelc9560]

Slimy roots, leave the loam alone for at least a day after the rain.

Special shout out to Anna for shutting our lazy asses ⬆️ up Seymour………Twice‼️

[@DustyTrailsMTB]

She needed to hear that! Thanks Wade!

[@scottyapkowitz6869]

Thanks for the shout out Wade ! Missed riding with ya this summer. Not going happen next year. Those tracks look sweet. Way to push Dusty out of his comfort zone as usual.

[@O1D4]

Not saying the names of the 'secret' trails makes no difference if you post videos of them. 🤷🏿
