  • My sponsor Fox Racing flew me out to Snow Summit in Big Bear California for the 2019 US Open of Downhill Mountain biking. Even though I didn't have a Downhill hill bike put together, we made the best of it.

      I had a similar sound coming from my bike and it turned out to be loose gears on my cassette. In my case it was the top two gears that were loose and rattling around as I rode.

    I started bouldering a few years ago, but I fell out of it due to the pandemic. Discovered an interest in bikes recently and it's interesting how similar the mindsets and philosphies are. Reading routes, testing lines, optimizing technique, overcoming mental barriers. I haven't gotten my first MTB yet, but I'm super looking forward to it, thanks in large part to your channel and others like it!

    I’ve watching a lot of your vids lately. I raced motocross for 15 years…broke my leg pretty bad when I was 22 and decided it was time to get serious with life. Still rode for fun until I was 40 and sold my bikes. 55 now, but miss it every day. I know this is very advanced riding but it looks like a LOT of fun! Might have to look into this sport.

    Man I remember riding my GT RTS back in the 90's at Big Bear. They used to have this deal that if you owned a GT mountain bike that was worth more than $600.00 you'd get a free season pass for the lift. Granted I broke my RTS frame in 3 places behind the welds at the same time at Big Bear so it was kind of a blessing and a curse. We were heading to ride the back trails on the mountain and I stood up to pedal and the frame just collapsed. The breaks were so bad that as I was riding the lift back down the mountain with my bike, other people going up on the lift were offering me condolences in the form of, "man that sucks" and such.

As always, SICK video and I cannot WAIT to see the rest of the series!
