That bypass was challenging enough for me 😅

No problem, there's no such a thing as a bad comment! It does look easier from the couch, though ;)

Thanks @rmbtd!

Thanks! It really is, and finding the right lines is very rewarding (the opposite is also true - the wrong line will stop me dead in my tracks)

Thanks Jay!

Oh wow, hope you get back to full riding soon! Yeah, sounds like you got the other end of the unlucky spectrum, I admit I was very lucky (although I'm still feeling my injuries in my arm and back, but no surgeries needed). Mainly due to the spot I landed in was very soft dirt, and also because the trail was pretty sketch I was keeping my speed down a bit. Hope you full recover and back on your bike!!

@@amir_mtb My Garmin data said I was going 21mph when I crashed. Still not 100% sure if it was front wheel washout or a jackknife. It happened so fast, like one sec I'm riding and the next I'm hitting the ground. It knocked the wind out of me and I had that weird wheezing breathing thing going on. Helmet cracked and I got a contusion on my temple, but somehow avoided a concussion thankfully! 🙏

Frisco CO Aftermath trail

Awwww Dor I'm moved!

@Phantom1000 good call I also got some lightweight shin guards so I don't have to think about it anymore

She's only counting to leave room between riders. Racers can leave once the count is down to 5 seconds (or even wait a while after the count is done) and there's a timing pole a few feet ahead that captures the accurate time

@dorlaor No. They used a proper timing system, where the reader is placed a few feet away from the starting position and reads the actual time that I pass by it. The person counting down is only making sure there's enough spacing - in theory I could ride immediately after the guy in front of me and the timing system would get it correctly.

Thanks @Pussywagonriders!!

@K1ngJame5-mtb I wish I could bring myself to ride clips! But I've only started riding them 1.5 years ago when I took up road riding for the first time. I don't feel safe with them on simple gravel routes, let alone bring myself to ride these trails clipped in.

@@amir_mtb riding clips has made me a better rider. You get use to unclipping on a moments notice when need

Yes, you can make it all the way to the road

Haha yes I was surprised as well! But I took the ebike for some detox today at Aptos ;)

Thanks @peet013, loved it! Next run I'll hit everything, it's all very well built

Thanks Leo!

Thanks Jason!

I second that! Donner trails shut down until 2025 tho

I don't make the rules Richard - that's what the trail is called, and has been for years :)

He said Burnside so that’s in Pacifica. I love that olace

@@emteebee1872 Thank you

@@FlowerWoman I did Burnside once but it was pretty unrideable so we had to get off our bikes a few times. What we enjoyed that’s similar to Burnside but rideable is Twin Pines… or Two Pines. I’ve gone down that ride several times now and still can’t confirm the name of that trail. Pacifica is in my top 3 places to ride.

No I didn't (yet) this was just a loaner. I'm testing several bikes (and will upload video impressions). The 1.2 motor feels MUCH more powerful - I don't think I need more than 25% assist level except for the steepest of climbs like climbing back up from end of K2. But there's no magic formula - the battery did drain faster when I went to those levels.

@@amir_mtb Thanks for the reply. I’m in the market for another SL ebike and my top 3 are Kenevo SL2, Mondraker Dune XR and Heckler SL

@@K1ngJame5-mtb wow those are hard decisions! BTW I just pulled the trigger on an SL bike... Soon to be advertised on the channel ;) The Mondraker looks amazingly capable and I can't believe it's under 44lbs with coil suspension! But it's very new no in-depth reviews or info so you probably should wait a bit for some unbiased inputs. The Heckler SL and KSL2 are both amazing; Heckler SL more battery but I don't trust Fazua wrt range extender - I'll believe it when I see them actually come out with one. If we bump into each other at UC we should compare notes :)

There actually is something worse - an unskilled troll firing from his couch potato sofa!

That wasn't really a crash, considering... But the reason I had to stop is I got off my original line coming down, and couldn't correct at the end to stay in the middle groove

@jaynasty7 IDK his time (I compared to his video and don't follow him on Strava) but my PR there is 1:09, he's 11 seconds faster and probably has another second if we compare from the very top. So I'm guessing he's at 0:57 seconds. BUT this was only his 2nd time ever on that trail...
