It is truly a pro level hard enduro trail the last few miles, you can see even max got stuck a few times. Theres a few spots if you fall you die, no joke! grab a motorized use map and go explore!

    In Utah we have riders running head-on into other riders, mountain bikers, and hikers because they are going too fast around blind corners to avoid oncoming traffic. Several fb posts just this year show accident carnage on SINGLE TRACK!! Sure going fast is fun, but if you have no lead rider checking the trail is clear, or you are not on a directional trail this is asking for trouble. How would you feel if you ran over some kid on a mountain bike that had earbuds in and could not hear you approach?

    • @MaxGerston
      @MaxGerston  Місяць тому

      Firstly, if you are mountain biking in the mountains with headphones in, you are asking for trouble. Lions, bears, other wildlife and dirt bikes are all expected hazards when on public land.
      Secondly, we did recon on the trail before hand so we knew it was kosher.
      Yes, there is a certain amount of risk involved with hammering singletrack.
      Have fun on the trails and take those earbuds out! Cheers.

    It's too bad that you guys have to show "how fast" you can go up a trail. I could do the same but I leave that for the track. Guys. really think about what you are communicating! You're pretty bad PR for riders out there if racing up a trail is what you do. How about enjoying the trail and looking around as you're riding. The way your're riding means you're basically "locked in" on the trail in front of you. One look off and you're off the trail! Again horrible PR for us other riders out there. If we all did this, there'd be no trails left for us to ride on... Just saying!
