  • Guys and gals, I'm back! I've been off the map a little bit for the last few months because I've been on tour and have been really focused on my riding clinics. I did recently have some time off to ride and visit with friends in Colorado though, and I took the time to make an edit of one of the best trails I've found out here. I hope you guys enjoy the video!

    I just discovered your UA-cam channel via Instagram, and I am enjoying your content. The running commentary is very useful and entertaining. I have two questions/comments. It seems you never wear any protection for your forearms or elbows. Why is that? I bang mine against trees, etc. on pretty much every ride, whether it's trail riding or competing in Observed Trials. Are you using an autoclutch, such as a Rekluse? i had one on my Husaberg, and I'm considering one for my KTM. Having electric start now. makes it less critical for me. Your thoughts on autoclutches? Ride safely, Bob

    I was in Taylor park at the beginning of July and on the 5th day of riding I lost my breath, started getting dizzy and had to stop for a bit then I had to head back to camp while the rest went on, I thought I was going to get sick, breathing so hard I felt I was going to pass out, not fun

    Use your feet and legs a tad more not so much upper body wont get as tired as quick. I always pay attention to how tight in squeezing my grips to measure my energy balance on bike. If i got death grip I relax hands and reposition more weight over my legs and tank.

    • @megs_braap
      @megs_braap  Рік тому

      I have run into a few bears out on the trail in the past but they’ve never been a problem. They always just run away. I don’t carry bear spray while I’m riding or anything.

      I've seen a few here in Idaho too in forty years of riding, they always ran away, I've come across cubs too, I get the hell out of there as fast as I can, no spray here either, sometimes have a pistol but never had to use it.

    • @dalepellerin
      @dalepellerin 9 місяців тому +1

      Bears can be a big problem in Colorado depending on the time of year. Fall and Spring is the worst cause they’re storing up prior to hibernation and hungry coming out of it. I don’t carry spray with me on my dirt bike but always do while hiking. The reason bears attack is being startled and dirt bikes are noisy enough you can hear it from a mile or two away so you’re usually safe on one.
