NICE! Great to see you back at it. Thanks for continuing to share your experiences with us. Being that I'm still fairly new (started late '22, with zero transferable experience) and share the same age as you (just turned 49) your channel is definitely motivating. Have you ever heard of Minii adventures? They do ride-outs at a variety of select trails each season. It's a great way to check out new areas with people of the same skill level and who are familiar with the respective trails. Hydrocut is coming up next month, you should check it out. 🤝👊✌
Hey Toogy...glat to see you are still kicking ass and pedaling...so happy that you are supported by Marin...congratulations on 7th anniversary... we are all trying to get better ...
Great advice on bike upgrades. I always say, ride until it becomes a problem or annoys you. Then you’ll know why you want to upgrade and what to look for. Good luck on the manuals and wheelies! For wheelies I had some progress dropping my seat an inch or so from top height where I ride… but I’m still no wheelie master 😂
Im ready to ride this year as well! Today I cracked open my tubeless tires, cleaned and refilled them with sealent. Then I converted my Siskiu T tires to tubeless. Time to get out there and have some fun.
Lol love the Iverson clip. Glad to see you back at it for another season. I think some bikepack/camping content would be a cool addition to the channel. Look forward to seeing it. Ride on!
TH, sorry I missed out on the group ride with JP and the gang. Was looking forward to finally getting a chance to ride with you as well. More importantly, awesome to see a 7th season milestone! Been loving the channel, especially for a soon to be 50 OG! Keep doing your thing!
Well that didn’t happen anyways lol, I think we went at different times and didn’t end up meeting up! I’ll be at the Turkey Point spring kicker on May 5th if you’re planning on attending that?
@ToogyHowser Oh, lol, maybe next time. Not sure I will make May 5, although I would like to make it to Turkey Point eventually. Softball season kicks off the same day. Maybe we can set something up with everyone at GORBA or Hydrocut. Lots of work being done at both places.
Hey Toogy! Good to see your back out. Happy Birthday too if I happen to miss it when it comes lol. I really want to ride this year but unfortunately my foot has been giving me trouble. I broke my foot really bad back in august of 2022 and had 2 surgeries to fix and it hasn’t been the same since. I’m a little nervous to ride the bike the way it feels even after this much time. I tried riding last year and I couldn’t do it 😔. Foot was too sore and swollen. I hope it feels better this year though but I will soon see! I even put my bike up for sale because I don’t know if I can ride ever again.
@@ToogyHowser we need old man on hill days..... must be 45+, must thinking about mortgage payments at start of reach jump, must why they do at trail head. bonus if they Know who Regan was.

Yeah!
I fuckin hate when people talk about their old videos in a bad way... It's not cringe bro... It's how you got to where you are.

Yep! Good advice! Looking back I never even gave my bike a chance before upgrading so much stuff lol
Sweet! Was wondering if I'd see you popping up soon this year!

yeah man! hope you have a great season!
Good to see you back for season 7. Thanks for the update.
It's going to be a great season again this year . 💯
Yes it is man!

Thanks! yeah I'm hoping to make some bikepacking/camping video!

@@ToogyHowser haha we just yelled hey at each other through the forest on opposing trails. Maybe another time 🤘

Hope your foot feels better soon and you can start riding! Have you tried an ebike? I wonder if that would make it easier?
@@ToogyHowser I wish lol. E bikes are just over my price range. I wish they weren’t so bloody expensive.
6 months older here, manual is also on my list. along with jumps. need much more practice
yeah practice is what it takes!! I've been really bad at not sticking to it, I really need to try!

Cya at TPMBC Spring Kicker ?
Yeah I’ll be at the Marin tent! See you there!
With Blue Mountain now closed there's no reason to own a DH bike anymore. One bike is all you need.
That’s true!
