This Week I Learned Downhill Mountain Biking

[@SethsBikeHacks]

The "GoPro effect" makes everything look easy on your 4" phone screen, but it's a different story when you're behind the handlebars. Those were some slippery and leafy trail conditions. Hats off to you, Mike!

[@Biskwyy]

This is more than learning. He's a average joe, he isn't some Super genius or anything. But that is his speciality. He represents the normal population. He represents that anyone out there with the interest to learn could do so much more, could acquire such useful strong skill sets. And so this guy represent the potential of humanity. The unique trait of adaptability. And that is what makes him fucking awesome. His resilience and attitude is also a positive trait to learn from. Thank you for continuing to inspire your viewers 👍🏻.

NoNameGiven no you got 3 for your reply

[@boungsaga6015]

The Mighty Seaman Yup, that in itself is his biggest strength, the one that actually makes him different for the real average Joes that we are. The fact that he can actually focus on a goal and try to achieve it is the hardest part. Also, it's kind of his job, having a liking for it is a bonus. Most people won't find a motivation to learn to split apples with bare hands, open champagne bottles with a saber and shit like that.

Not only is animation very hard and takes a long time, you also can't really set a goal for learning. "Animate (blank)" is too general and you can't really objectively rate the result.

[@isaks3243]

as a mountainbike coach is this making me happy! you set out with a fairly sloppy run, you got the coaching and learned how to tackle this type of terrain and you smashed your time by over 23 seconds, which over the corse of a first 2.20 minute run is this a huge improvement!

It would be awesome to see you combine this challenge with your unicycle challenge. Mountain Unicycling is a ton of fun! It's the same thing as the mountain bike just minus the brakes, suspension, gears, and a wheel (some "Muni's" as they're called, come with brakes and/ or gears; you can get handlebars too, but a pure unicycle is cheaper and more challenging). A good milestone might be to complete this trail without falling off. I hope to see you give it a shot sometime!
