Watching you go from riding at the opening of chestnut mtn , being in horrible shape, to watching you climb crazy stuff in Sedona. You definably get into riding shape fast.

You seem hungry again and that rules. The drop with no tow in CO was crazy and pedaling these tough climbs and going back for seconds. Love it. We rode Hiline in Oct and no camera can to the climbs justice! 👏 👏 👏

I’m the opposite with small injuries. I prefer not knowing. I just assume I cracked a bone and take it easy until I don’t feel it anymore. I’m pretty sure I cracked something in my foot last summer. lol Maybe if it gets worse instead of better like usual I’d go get it checked out. Always seems to get better thankfully.

lots of challenging climbs on that one. Quite the feeling when you clean a teckie climb, only to see it just keeps going up :) By the way you fell you might have dislocated the tip of the finger. At least that would be better than a break.

You need some over night oxygen in that van get your healing up to 110%. If you do don't use the big bottles just get the small canister as I'm imagining there is quite a lot of flammables in there.

I am totally with you on people going off the trail. I live in phoenix, and all trails have signs telling people to stay on the trail.. and so many mountain bikers go several feet off the trail when you pass them, even though there's room to pass on the trail.. they need to learn about the the biology of desert soil and the damage they're doing.

Can I ask a question to the community in here? Are you guys and gals in here ever too much in your head about damaging your beautiful and expensive bike, where you worry about the trail ahead of you? I bailed really bad this past summer because I thought I was going to scratch my bike that I panicked and fell like 9 feet. Didn’t scratch the bike (because it landed on me) but I know I could have done the feature if I wasn’t thinking about what I was riding… am I alone on this?

Yo Adam, I totally know this feeling and I talk about it with my friends all the time about how unhealthy of a mindset it is! Often times I get myself hurt because of this exact way of thinking when otherwise if I had just focused on the riding not only would I have been fine, but so would the bike! Moral of the story: the bike was made to be ridden hard, so don't worry so much a out it!

I made a commitment to myself and the new uber expensive bike I purchased in 2021 well before I embarked on the first ride. That commitment was: This bike will DEFINITELY be beaten and abused and it's going to suffer many gouges and scratches sooner rather than later! The sooner you can come to terms with that, the better all the future rides will be. Yeah, a new scratcher-gouger in the frame will sting, but you have to quickly put it behind you, realize that more will be coming, and move on.
