Ultradynamico ATB training camp Ep. 1

[@jososhea4602]

I broke my jaw descending Sulfur mountain last year while on vacation from the east coast and even though I broke my jaw and was in the hospital for the second half of my vacation I would go back and ride it again anytime. It's a delightful climb and an even funner descent(until you get cocky and break your jaw) and so so beautiful. Thanks for filming some of those views!

[@ultraromance]

oooof! if only it were a soft landing into the tar pits! such a good lump to climb up and down --- glad you remember it fondly, considering!

[@jasondunlap9823]

Nice, Los Padres was my childhood stomping grounds. The land of coyote tobacco, white sage, Yerba Santa. Miss those hills. There are a lot of small tar pits. The Chumash used the tar to seal baskets that they made. Good memories. Enjoyed the video.

My request for RBTV and bike videos of this nature in general is to go into the route planning more in depth to learn the nuts and bolts of putting a good route together.

[@ultraromance]

thats a nice idea!

100% agree.

[@herbsandspokes]

Big Thanks for putting in the hard work/computer work to give all of us the motivation to get out there with our friends!

[@55whiplash]

Folding saws and entrenching tools. This seems what 26 inch mtn. bike tire bikes were made for. And we had those shoulder straps inside the frame, they gave us with our bikes.

[@criddler_9738]

Thank you for making a very fun and entertaining video.. hitting the nostalgia notes for me hearing Silversun Pickups and DJ while playing in the dirt💗✨✨✨

Since this is my neighborhood its fun to see it so lovingly enjoyed bicycle style. Can't wait for ep. 2

[@andrewsnyder1187]

I like you and that's what this is all about. But really, the riding looks so fun. "We stop and hang out a lot. Do you?" Love it.

Thanks Ron for reminding me of what is biking all about.

[@postridebeers]

Ron, thanks for being you and making cool videos. Enjoying this while it’s cold as fudge here in Mass. Hoping to venture down to CT and ride some of your local stuff this summer. Maybe I’ll see you on the trail and give you a high five. 🙏

[@ericmarth]

Thanks for bringing us along. Curious to know a few things: Mileage and elevation for each day, snacks you packed, and Jordan's Rash Cure. Tire pressure and quick rig coverage would be cool, too. What's everyone's lighting setup? Definitely know what you mean about cutting the video. Editing this sort of thing into something coherent is a brutal chore.

[@drewlyall6845]

Thanks Ron! So nice to watch while socked in with cold and lots of snow here in Montreal. Helps the mind wander to summer cycle schemes and bridge the gap between now and then…

[@nickmckissick2881]

When your bike turns into a fatbike after it rained a lot than you know how it felt to be a farmers horse plowing the soil back in the old days. That was amazing and reminds of so many muddy days here in Norddeutschland but that does not take the fun out of cycling. Liebe Grüße 💖🙋‍♀ Ein Killervideo +1a Musik

[@kaffeemitcola6506]

@@ultraromance Fango for free 😂. The fango outdoors also replaces the peeling and when such a day is over you can feel and see that you became younger and not another day older. Only the bike aged 10times as much in the mud compated to a dry and sunny day. 🙋🏼‍♀️Liebe Grüße ❤️🚲

Entire missions were built out of that mud. Re: tar pits; there are places were clear gas comes up to the surface and settlers used it for fueling lamps.

[@jakeszy]

Would love to see a video on the guy in the blue t-shirt. How did he get so jacked!? What kind of ATB workouts does he do to achieve such rippling muscles?

Nice video! How do you crazy kids run handlebar bags without fouling the front canti brake cable?

[@ultraromance]

I used to take precautions like running a length of housing between the cable hanger and straddle cable, but found it makes little difference. now I just clamp right around the cable and you don't even notice.

[@aceprater5397]

Wait! I thought Patrick said those tires DO shed mud! (from when he got the first prototypes delivered and it was raining)...

[@biketickler65]

Ron, I'm embarrassed. I don't think I would have the strength to take the $300 full grain leather Stomplox's I own across a water route... I'd just give up and turn back probably. Are they okay being soaked like that?

I've been absolutely loving your vids, keep it up! just some unsolicited advice, your voice is pretty hard to hear with the music. Keep the hardcore but it might work better when your not narrating, or just crank your voice volume.

[@cosinus_square]

I love your content, but, please use an additional microphone at least when filming indoors.

[@SetszawA]

Hi Ron, nice video as always. Just one minor question, How do you decide when to use a helmet and when not? Honestly interested in your thought process. Cheers.

[@ultraromance]

didn't do me much good with all the walking we did on this trip --- but the higher speeds I reach in the western part of the US when riding down hill is usually the factor. here in the east we are never really going much faster than a hiking / jogging pace with the low rolling hills and technical terrain.

[@miatomi]

Yep. That's pavement.

[@bicyclecult]

its all about popularity !!!!!! lol

[@pawel8365]

One question, why no mudguards on these bikes?

[@ultraromance]

hello! its a good question as mud is in the name--- but fenders in this kind of mud stop you dead in your tracks as they tighten up tire clearances. in other instances they ad too much fragility to the bike and end up getting caught on things and broken to pieces by the end of a ride/hike as they jam and contort. love fenders for a rainy day on the road, but that is about it --- they are in the way for me any other time, and the other times are the conditions we ride/hike in most. hope that answers the question! cheers.
