Love Antietam, Mt. Penn, Neversink and the Bird! The people @ BTW, BAMBA and those Berks Co. Lone MTB Trail Wolves (the trail blazers) out there make Berks an awesome collection of sick MTB rips. Thanks for all you do Sage and inspiring us GenX’rs to get back on the bike 👍👊🇺🇸 🚲

Such great tips for the "dying art" of skinnies! This looks amazing! I love seeing builds like this in modern trails!

Thanks Brian, that means a lot coming from you. This episode on the RNL Podcast is my favorite so far. If you get a chance watch, or listen to it and let me know your thoughts. LMK when you want a tour of all this new stuff.

Thank you so much Steven. We truly enjoy each others company and share the same passion for the sport. Now if we can just get the rest of the world on board we will be all set, lol. We appreciate you tuning in. I have big hopes for the Ride and Laugh podcast.

This was insightful! I hate skinnies for the most part, but when I commit to them, I find that I'm actually pretty capable and able to do most higher difficulty ones. I just feel the risk to reward doesn't quite add up for me, failing means anything from bent rotors, broken derailleur or worse LOL 😂. Sage I had no idea you're scared of heights... as a mountain biker?!

I totally understand that Zane. The risk/reward is a huge factor for sure. I find the high of accomplishing the difficult ones too great to pass up, lol. And yes, I'm deathly afraid of heights. I constantly force myself into situations I'm uncomfortable with because I hate being governed by my fears.

I never ride skinnies. There are no skinnies in Portugal, so I might build one in my backyard so you guys can see how bad am I at it. Nice video Sage, thanks for sharing it.

Now that would be an awesome video Luis. Show yourself building and riding it. I think your fans in Portugal (and around the world) would like that. Thanks for watching brotha!

Nice one lads... And you're right Sage... These kinds of "random" features (like skinnies) aren't as common as they should be. Mind you... A SOLID tech trail isn't as common as it should be either. So when people watch tech vids, they often times "miss" the difficulty of them (The "GoPro effect" doesn't do much to help this situation either)... But it is what it is I suppose... :D

Yes on both counts, good points Phil. Most new trails that are being constructed are machine built flow these days (which is awesome), but I wish builders would also consider old school tech as well.

I think my biggest problem with skinnies is that I stay seated thinking I'll be more stable, but your case for standing is good and I should give that a go... I don't sit for a track stand so makes sense.

Love it Tom. If you try it let me know how it goes. If you feel too loose try feathering the back brake a little to apply a little tension.

Another little tip is to "drag your brakes" while on a skinny... Helps "stand the bike up" if that makes sense?

OMG right?!?! It's a feature I've ridden before on the full sus, but that day I was on the fat bike and those big tires bounced me off line. So glad I got away with that one without injury, lol.

That’s another skill, ability to save or fall, I know you’ve discussed it, but I think it’s related to skinnies too, basically creating a precise steering vector outta nothing
