Been kinda bummed out all day so I just kicked back, brought this up on the 70" along with a music mix I made from a year ago on u-toob with old Zep, Eagles, Joni. Sabbath - ya' know, mostly mellow, and after about 3 minutes of the music and riding my TV knobbies along with you guys, I was there and it was a great ride. lol

      That's the spirit! I hope you do. Bikes are hard to get, so be prepared. If you find a good option that fits you, BUY IT!
      Totally agree with the replies above. If I HAD to choose between all of my cycling options and activities and pick only one, it would, without a doubt be mountain biking. It's so varied, challenging and fun. The places you can go and see; the terrain you can challenge yourself on. From flat, fast trails, to insane rock gardens from hell! It's all out there to challenge every rider. Heck, even playing on stairs and urban obstacles (benches, ledges, etc.) is a blast.
      Just be forewarned that mountain biking throws a lot of steep hills at you. It's climbing, climbing, climbing when you're riding stuff like this. But totally worth it. Today's bikes make the sport really accessible. But be prepared to huff & puff on the climbs!
      (I say this remembering an introductory bike ride our college team took new riders on. We headed out and up the hilly streets and the new riders couldn't believe how steep the streets were. We were taken aback and thought to ourselves, "But this is the EASY part! We haven't even gotten to the trails yet!" Let's just say a few new riders that day were somewhat disillusioned by the idea of mountain biking!)
      So be patient and approach terrain that will give you smiles and not dread! After you put in the miles and develop endurance and strength, you'll be ready for more and more challenging terrain.

    I've heard there's lots of really good stuff in Mendocino. Add this to the list! Man, that's some really sweet stuff through the redwoods. Kudos to the lumber company opening it up to the Redwood Coast Mountain Bike Association. The Redwood is a California gem; it would behoove us to make the north coast an epic mountain bike destination. This is another great step in that direction!
    I enjoyed a similar POV today: My blue Ripley ripping through Bay Area redwood single track. So much fun.
    PS "Hip packs," LOL! In the early 90's we called 'em FANNY PACKS and we used them out of necessity, not because we wanted to. This was before the Camel Back was invented. Can't believe they're making a come back. Hated the weight being levered off my hips, especially with two full large bottles.

I recommend parking at the Mad River Brewery. That will give you a mile to warm up the legs before the climbing starts and then you get to have a nice beer after. Win win

      @@angelmoo7502 let me tell you why memberships are required. The trails are on private land and therefore we need insurance to cover the access Green Diamond has provided to us. A membership helps cover that cost in addition to other trail maintenance and development related costs. I am on the RCMBA board and we worked hard to get that access and work hard to keep that access and to expand that access. It is people like YOU that will ruin it for all. If you continue to access the trails without a membership, you are trespassing. My personal opinion of you couldn't be lower.

    • @trkempton
      @trkempton 3 роки тому +3

      Yeah, he went to that class but it does not seem like he is trying to follow through with what he learned. I honestly think he is just so scared of crashing.. he has it too hyped up. I agree, trying is the only way for him to get better.

    • @dudeonbike800
      @dudeonbike800 3 роки тому +2

      I'm gonna give him a pass. He's so often riding totally new trails. He doesn't know how big these jumps are, how much of a gap to expect, etc. The guy he rode with has been on these a million times, so he knows what to expect, proper entry speed, the unseen landing, etc. Can't fault Brian for simply being smart to "ride another day."

    • @trkempton
      @trkempton 3 роки тому +1

      @@dudeonbike800 Yeah, to some point that makes sense, and in many instances that is probably good practice. But I still think he is letting fear get the better of him for a lot of them. Even in this video there are several jumps that are fully visible and straight forward. He also has someone to pace his entry so that helps when hitting a line first time. In the end I really think he would have a blast if he keeps trying to practice this skill...but to each his own. Maybe he does not get the same satisfaction.
