    4 thousand miles of fertile land strech from the arctic south. These fertile lands end up turning into deserts closer to the sahara and Arabia. Jerusalem sits right at the end of the 4 thousand mile strech of fertile lands. Literally on one side of jerusalem are forests and on the other side is the drop to the dead sea and the judean desert. That is what's so cool about israel. You can find snow capped mountains, forests, rolling hills and green valleys, mediterranean coast and the red sea coast, sandy deserts, mountainous deserts... and all in a country the size of new jersey.

      I would love to go there. Just the amount of history packed in that area is mind boggling. I work with a guy from Saudia Arabia and he said it would be fun to go there with him. I don't fully understand how everything works there, but he mentioned it may be easier for him to get into certain areas of the city if I was with him, with my passport. Plus, it would be safer for me to be with him in other areas. Like I said, I don't know much about the logistics of it all, just that I would like to see all the sites with my own eyes.

    8:00 most people out there are on enduro ebikes here in Spain. I ride my S.Enduro all winter with ebikes and enduro racers. There is a huge trend and I think most enduro bikes would be mostly for people racing only in a few years. In USA,many rides are close loops and trails are longer,not just pieces of downhill between fire roads, maybe that´s why it is being a little slow the adoption of ebikes there and so much hate. I love my Enduro and doing hard laps,no motor no battery is the way to me. Go to the Alps to enjoy some bike park time,it is epic!

    Newbie question here!
    For the types of rides/trails like in this video, would you guys say that tubeless tires are a must-go? They seem to be significantly more expensive and require more maintenance than traditional tires with tubes, and I'm on a somewhat tight budget looking to purchase my first mountain bike, but everybody I've talked to at shops recommend them quite passionately.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 місяців тому +1

      Yeah, most of us ride with tubeless tire setups at tubes are a lot less rugged for hardcore riding. You can get away with running tubes for quite a while but you'll probably get more flats.

    Love the bike design ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.

      To my understanding, there has actually never been a nation/country called Palestine. After the Jews revolted against the Romans in this area (don't remember the year, but it was B.C. time), the Romans renamed the area Palestine as an insult to the Jews. It was just a territory of the Roman Empire, something like, 1K years before the Islamic religion existed. Jewish temple (Temple Mount), was destroyed.

      We Jews were here long before the supposed Palestinian Territory .
      They really just want to kick us out of here,
      They claim that they live under an apartheid rule. Which is blatantly false. Arabs here are the free-est they have even been, Muslim women can go outside without covering their hair like the rest of woman under Arab authority. Our economy is way stronger and more stable then our close Arab neighbors.
      One last thing that bothers me is that the Palestinian delegation to the UN (which doesn’t represent any country) gets to have their own special Holliday called the “nakba” (in simple Hebrew to english translation. ) which represents the worst “nightmare” day for the which is exactly the day our country declared its independence.
