There's a new gap step-down at my local trails I've done two run-ups to so far but chickened out and haven't sent yet. Ironically, and I think this is the case with most average MTB'ers that I regularly boost much farther distance on other jumps but somehow can't get past the mental block of it being a gap, of which you can't see the landing till it's already too late since it's a step down. I feel like I need to feel more confident and aggressive to do it with lower risk, so it remains unchecked. If you're not feeling something, don't go, build up the confidence and right energy for it first.

Hey random advice from a 15+ year bmx guy. Drops is a huge part of my street bmx fun and naturally transitioned to my mtb. Just like any skill repetition is key. Learning to drop off curbs or anything small is highly beneficial. Dialing in lifting the front wheel properly to allow the back wheel to ride off the end, without fear of nose diving. I often encourage people to learn bike TRIALS basics to get more confidence on the trail. If you're feeling scared on drops that are big for you, remember it's the motion is the same like a small drop, and if your confident but nervous, find a happy thought to focus or clear your mind completely then let it roll 🤙

Ran into you guys at the bottom by the cattle gate that day. Next time you are out that way, there is an entire section above where you started riding. It's more natural with a beauty steep section. Unfortunately the road up to the tower is pretty beat up, we had to hike it. Totally worth it though.

Seems like you're specifically leaving out where this is, and I'm not a fan of that. For anyone wondering, this area is called Steamboat. It's just outside of Radium, and the trail is called Attitude Adjustment.
@TheLoamRanger
@TheLoamRanger Жыл бұрын
Well Hayden, that’s because we asked around and checked the local shops to see what the situation is regarding sharing Steamboat trails on the channel. We have to be extremely careful with where we ride, film and share. We had the go-ahead to ride and film in that zone by the cycling association and from the local shops (the one we talked to anyways), but the guys at the shop cautioned against sharing the exact names/locations, so we were respecting their wishes. I’ll be deleting your comment in a little bit for this same reason. Understandable, I hope.

@The Loam Ranger I understand where you're coming from, but I'm not a big fan of the gate keeping that goes on in the bike community. I also understand not sharing pirate trails. However, as far as I'm aware, Steamboat is fully sanctioned. Which is why I question why it needs to be kept secret. Oh well, just my 2 cents

@@haydenpaige3552 With all due respect some gate keeping is definitely healthy within the community, for one it keeps people safe and it also prevents a massive amount of people from riding a spot which could have unintended consequences. Here in the states if a trail blows up it usually becomes blown out and is subsequently paved by that bench cut garbage that seems to be taking over. Happened to a favorite trail system of mine recently due to a few yt videos blowing up. Moral of the story is if people want to find something bad enough they will, there’s no reason to “snitch” or give all the details out to potentially thousands of people, it’s just not cool.
