Mountain Biking Therapy
Переглядів 991Рік тому
Going for a mountain biking ride can be it's own form of therapy for some people. Lately, I haven't been making enough time for bike rides and it has been starting to affect my mental health. So I went for a ride on the Peppermint Loop at Potato Creek state park to reset myself while being surrounded by nature.

The Only “How To Fix A Flat Mountain Bike Tire” Video You Need To See
when I take the shock pump off the forks and shock just lose the air!
The most straight forward explanation I found - thank you
Genius idea.
This showed nothing on how to actually repair a puncture 😂
This version looks awesome! Thanks a lot for sharing this video!!
I live there
Why can't regular pump be used? Why would air lead out fork?
I'm 41 and have used mountian biking as my exercise. Along with eating better I'm down 54lbs. And when I'm not hitting trails i can pull my 18 month old twins in their bike trailer. That helped me get my cardio up. Combined they are over 50lbs plus the trailer weight. So when I'm riding without the trailer it feels super simple. Plus i have fun both on trails and pulling my babies..
Hauffman nature area is in tippecanoe near me. It's pretty cool.
Thank you for your video. Greetings from Siberia 🤝
Just learn from "CU Outside" of the new section not on the map off Garner RD. ua-cam.com/video/CgmQ8_Nd3wY/v-deo.html&lc=UgxvQ7WnQ_uO9Abs9bN4AaABAg.AAz-6zDaQmMAAzcXmf_UNU
Super solution..super..the best
Damn literally can't hear you. Sounds like your underwater...
Time to get back on your bike and hit this trail again! More features have been added, a step down into wall ride, a tabletop, another wall ride, all good things! You’ll love it. Get back into the woods Madman.
I’ll be out there on Saturday!
how old was your daughter when she started on the 24? my daughter is 7 years old and 48 inches. shes outgrown her riprock 16 and done serious mountain biking with our local club. im thinking of moving her direct up to the 24
will IT work for a Manitou circus expert?
Does it have a schrader valve?
Thank you!
I have a Specialized Rockhopper 27.5. Very similar bikes but i ove the sage color of yours! I have upgraded firstly tires. I went with Continental Trail King and they have been amazing for me! Then i replaced my cassette and i plan for another dropper post soon as well. Thanks for your videos!
Looks like a nice trail to take my sons, thanks for the video!
Thanks so much for making this!
Good grief. Just as hard to clean as camelbak. Imma using a bottle next time
I am going there with a friend in a couple days
About how tall was your daughter when you got her this bike? Didn't seem like she was affected by it having no suspension
Just realized she has the one with front shocks. I'm looking at a cpl for my daughter they don't have any shocks.
She was around 50 inches tall back then.
Yeah, this was the last year when they had suspension forks.
@@MichianaMadmano thanks yea your daughter was tearing it up on the trail. That trail looks sick. My daughter only 42 inches was hoping to skip over 20 inch bike from 16 but might b too much of a leap.
boring ass trail with too many folks on it not paying attention. flat
It is rather flat
Have the same water bladder, the way to remove the hose is to rinse the end of the hose in the hot watter, then the hose is more pliable.
Thanks for the tip
just to double check, this soap does take out tough stains?
Yes, in my experience
The retailer on the 20 is almost on the ground. You have any issues on the trail with it getting hit
We haven’t had any issues over the years.
Thanks
No problem
Just did the 1st half of the trail yesterday. This trail seemed technical to me because I am new to mountain biking and it seemed if you got off the path you could slide far down the hill in some parts. I also got lost. Kept finding myself going out on Garner ST. I do have a bad sense of direction. Had the GoPro on so I may upload it to UA-cam. There were some cool parts that I did but do not see in your video. Not sure if they were new or you cut them out so your video was not to long.
I know they have added on to the trail since this video was made.
@@MichianaMadman I tried to add my video from 11-03-2024. ua-cam.com/video/AZnZ8JTNho0/v-deo.html
Honestly think I like this trail more then the fort Custer red loop lol but idk red loop gives me some crazy adrenaline rushes lol.
Adding this park to my list of places to go. I loved the trail it’s like they had pure speed in mind when building it.
Just picked up a pair of these for 35 bucks!
I did that with mine and it fixed it until i tested my forks the next mlrning and the sound was back
Does it still make the squish noise?
@@MichianaMadman yes
Once you’ve had an Osprey bag with the airspeed ventilated back there is no going back…
🤣 UA-cam solved my problem once again! My pump is a little different designed, but same concept. Kept losing air disconnecting the pump
I’m from berrian springs
Great video! You need to come back as they have opened a full new section to the west which takes you by the lake and has many more features. If there are novice riders reading this, come ride this trail as it is super friendly to new riders with minimal climbs, all features have ride-arounds, and it's just a fun, fast flowy loop.
That’s right next to me
I loved this trail- Just hit it up while on a trip - I'm a slower rider and it was fast and fun-
What if you don't have a heat gun to remove it?
I use the Lizard Skins chainstay protector. For this, though, you can use a hair dryer. Heat guns & hair dryers are what are used for taking off protective frame tape.
Just rode here for the first time the week of the 4th of July 2024 & holey crap what an AWESOME park. The trails are absolutely fantastic. Even the green & blue trails. Hobbs Hallow is an absolute blast...will DEF be back
I saw them at REI, and knew I needed a pair. I got the Freerider in Chacoa / oat / carbon. I can hardly wait to take them for a ride.
Could one bmx this?
Possibly. Some of the climbs might be tough
Go on Sunday Monday Wednesday or Friday. ride your bike up to the top of the first climb you’ll be greeted with a very quick downhill section that ends at an access road you can take right back to the start. That’d be your best bet because there is a lot of climbing.
Thanks! So hard to find specific info on my old fork, I couldn't even tell where the schrader valve was located. Judging by this video it's probably underneath the cover on top of the fork, not the hex screw on the bottom which looks too small to hide a valve anyway. I'm just gonna gestimate the air pressure tho, 65 psi seems to be for my weight.
Sometimes there is a chart on one of the legs of the fork. Or on the manufacturer’s website. What brand fork do you have?
Local here, tiger trail goes behind the tiger exhibit in the zoo. If you get there in the afternoon around 7pm or so sometimes you can hear the tigers howling. Hence the name. Not sure about the other names tho!
Thanks!
You ever ride trails at night? That would be kool for late night Halloween ride. Potatoe Creepy Ride 2024. Lol
It has been awhile since I’ve done some night riding.
I have an Osprey hydraulics lt with the slider like yours. How can I safely remover the bite mouthpiece to cut the tubing to size? (And to clean) It looks like it just kinda screws into tube but I can't get it off, feel like I'm going to break it,, HELP!!! 😊 Thank you in advance :)))
Someone commented before about running it under hot water to make it more pliable.
Great video. Just did the trail yesterday. You go faster than I like. Maybe I try to post a video of me doing the trail.
Sometimes the planets align and you live right up the road... this happens to be my absolute favorite MTB Trail!!! 🚵♂♥👍
