  • John Deer is one of the most popular trails on Mt. Seymour, and for good reason. It's constantly being refined by the builders, Martin Newman and Penny Deck, and offers a mix of fast, flowy singletrack, small jumps and a few optional stunts. I planned on doing two quick laps as a study break, but my second lap didn't go as planned. I carved too tight on a corner, lost the front wheel and went sliding a rock. While that sucked, the riding that preceded it was pretty fun.

      This was pre-COVID too :p It's the most popular trail on the mountain and you just have to be prepared for lots of other riders out there enjoying themselves too.

      @ddangerousddave  3 роки тому +2

      I wish I could share the blame, but I was 100% at fault due to poor line choice and too much lean. It's a very popular trail that caters to a lot of riders so you just expect to see lots of people out for a ride too. That's why I usually stick to tech trails where you hardly see anyone :p

      As much as I enjoy laying down a clean top-to-bottom run, it's a trail, not a race track so I don't get too fussed.

    Did the same thing and spent 4 days in the hospital, 4 weeks for the ripped knee would to heal over, and torn ligaments and tendons and lots of rehab ahead - SO glad you were able to walk ok after a week! Can't wait to get back out there! Keep your videos coming as they keep me going! 😊👍

    • @ddangerousddave
      @ddangerousddave  3 роки тому +29

      I give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they're new to the sport or the trail. The ones in the middle of the trail may have crashed or walked that section and were just getting back on their bikes for all I know. The trails are for all levels and if the worst thing that happens to me is having to slow down for a few seconds then such is life. Plus you never know when you're gonna crash so might as well be polite to those that may come upon your body strewn across the trail.
      And no to Saints :p While I LOVE the ergonomics of Shimano brake levers, I prefer the overall feel and modulation of Codes.

      I respect these thoughts Dave. I’m new myself and stop lots on the - for me - more difficult trails. That said, I do my best to move to the side. But you are right, you never know the circumstances (but if I were you, I’d probably still curse under my breath).

    @danielgriffin8311 3 роки тому +1

    I know this is a fairly old video, but how do you deal with lost confidence when crashing? I find that, even if I'm minimally/non-injured by a crash, it takes me a good while to build up the confidence to actually push on the bike again. I know that I have the ability to ride harder, but lack the confidence to actually do so.
