YOU NEED THIS for MTB Racing!-

[@TheCrashingDad]

Want to insure your adventures with Buddy, AND support the TCD Channel? Show them some love! ---> bit.ly/crashing-dad *They're working on a nation-wide launch - and have filed with each state - but they're waiting on each state government...which is a waiting game with butt loads of RED TAPE! lol If you click the "get covered" button, select your state, and it's not available... then input your email address and they'll only notify you WHEN your state's govt has finally gotten off their butts to do some work to let it happen! lol They promised me that they won't spam your emails ;)

I’m 53 and a little u tube illiterate, so not sure how to contact you. My bro in law from phx is meeting me (Mike King from kc) in grand junction. We will be riding in the area Oct. 3-6. Yourself and RC are the reason I started riding a couple of years ago on the cc trails in and around kc. Both of your progression has been astounding to me, very inspirational to say the least. I know you probably receive requests all the time to ride, but if yourself or Rc are riding, anywhere is fine with us, my bro in law is a much better rider, phx and Sedona mostly. Thank you and Rc ffor continuing the channels, I know it’s a lot of work, in addition to full time jobs.

[@TheCrashingDad]

@@mikeking3826 no worries! It's crazy to me that my dumb little hobby can inspire 🤘🏼 It shouldn't be so hot in October! Hit me up via email when it gets closer to time, and if I'm in town and can ride, I'll def get out 🤘🏼 [e-mail]

Great vid, looks like it was nothing but fun and I'm glad they put the race on. This buddy thing is really cool and not too expensive, someone told me they will insure the bike too? Hmmm. Your getting good at the edits man, so well done. Oh yeah, maybe I should try liquid pancake batter on my next bike outing. 😂

[@TheCrashingDad]

Lol .. I DON'T recommend the liquid pancake batter! 😂 As far as Buddy coverage goes, it's just cash that covers injuries... So you could technically use that cash for whatever you like 🤷🏼‍♂️ I'd use it to fill my deductible first, before repairing the bike though 😂

[@BikeSleepRepeat]

You need to teach me how to edit out the heavy breathing like you did. I would have been breathing so hard and scaring all my viewers!! 😂😂 looks like such a good race!

I just went to Buddy's web site. Great concept, but they're not in Florida. Yet. Hopefully soon. I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Your narration was great and now you got me excited about racing again. Thanks, Crashing*! *I'm assuming we're on a first-name basis in our relationship. If not, then please accept my apologies as I call you Mr. Dad.

Hey I just recently found your channel and I'm hooked! It's refreshing to see someone with a great sense of humor who's so open and honest and not trying to be some "character" on camera! Great stuff, the amount of cuts and narration in this video alone shows how much work you're putting into these! Subscribed!

Ah, thanks Adam! Welcome! I really appreciate that! Yeah... I suppose all of us sometimes put on a "character" 😬 I know I'm guilty of it soemtime....but like you said...it's mainly to because i think Humor should take priority...even when the camera's not rolling! 🐘💨 And because I'm a real dad...with a crazy life.... I don't get to put out vids as often as I'd like 😬 so, apologies for the future lack of weekly vids...lol 🤘🏼

Great timing! I just found out today I'm coming through CO in a couple of weeks. I want to do some riding and will definitely use your Buddy link for the trip. Quick question: If you had a day or two, would you ride Evolution? Is it open this year? Maybe other trails in Crested Butte? We're heading back from Denver to Flagstaff, probably via Durango, so any tips on where to check out would be awesome. Did Purg in Durango last year, so maybe Crested Butte? Monarch? Salida? What would be the top of your list? (sorry for the long comment) 🤘

[@TheCrashingDad]

Buddy DOES work in Colorado 🤘🏼 waiting on stupid state governments for a nationwide launch.... I LOVE CB bike park! I haven't ridden the regular trails in CB though.... I haven't ridden in Durango much....

Tried signing up for Buddy with your link, but unfortunately they don't offer services in Idaho yet. I probably need it since I broke my pelvis last Autumn, and broke my leg / needed ankle surgery this spring. Here's to hopefully having less injuries in the upcoming year.

[@TheCrashingDad]

Oh no! That's crazy...sorry to hear about that! Hopefully you're able to fully recover soon 😬 And yeah, I think Buddy is close to a nation-wide launch... they've filed with all the states, but because it's insurance, they've got to work with each State and all the government RED TAPE 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@buddy5071]

Ouch...it sounds like last year was a doozy! Sorry hear about your injuries. We're hoping to be available in Idaho very soon, but do not have an official launch date quite yet. If you head over to our site and drop your email, we'll be sure to give you a heads up as soon as we're live in Idaho. Hope you have a smooth, injury free, season this year!

Did you say $10 smackers a day for this Buddy thing?

Indeed!

[@stevecabrera6718]

Haha that buddy insurance ain't gonna do much haha my last er visit was 2700. The stays at the hospital were 1200 each and the tib fib fracture surgery was 90k. Thank God I have a career with benefits lol.

[@TheCrashingDad]

ah that's tough! sorry to hear about that tib-fib! Buddy's benefits are meant to supplement your regular health insurance and help you cover the HIGH deductibles that most of us have...And the benefits are STACKABLE - So you'd get coverage for the er visit, the hospital stays, AND the surgery. so YES, I'm glad I have health insurance benefits through my work as well..... BUT I still have to cover my $4k deductible... and I'd sure take the cash from Buddy to help cover that deductible. Plus, if there's cash leftover after the deductible is filled, Buddy doesn't dictate on how you spend that cash - could be used to pay a babysitter while you're in the hospital, replace broken gear/clothes....etc Cheers!
