attaboy Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Note to self: When taking jumps, make sure rear tire hits first. Seems to be a recurring theme here, right? These videos make me very nervous. You just know there are videos out there that show some really bad stuff happening to people. Not necessarily.

ATXZJ Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 At that speed, and with those rocks, gapping features can get nasty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closely around the 40 second mark you'll see where he came close to losing the front wheel. Jumping stuff is one thing... But wheels still have to hit the ground at some time, and as was said above, at that speed, along with the jumps, even small stuff can cause a nasty fall really quickly.

So, I haven't ridden SM yet (wife not real keen on the idea) and was curious how many runs in a day do you actually get? It's hard to judge from these kinds of videos on how much riding you can actually get in a day? Seems like a lot of interrupted riding. Again, I have no clue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olddbrider Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 I have a season pass, so my response to your question above is probably going to be different that someone who shells out $50 for a 1-day lift pass. When we go, we typically spend about 3 hours out there (that includes the time it takes to gear up, take at least one break, and get packed up while having a beer or two). Most days, we're able to get 8-10 runs in that amount of time. By then, we've usually hit everything at least once, most things a couple of times, and the stuff we really like a handful of times. For me, this is the right balance between getting in a good amount of riding and feeling like we're riding the same things over and over again. Having said that, there was a kid out there recently that must have been trying to break the single day record. At about 3 in the afternoon on a Sunday, he was on his 22nd (I think) run of the day. I'd say if you got there early and took a few breaks to rest and eat, you could easily get 15 runs in a full day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same boat, my wife was really not excited about me going, but I made it out undamaged. I tried to not stay out their all day since she was losing her sh*t while I was gone. I got plenty of runs in, I was pretty winded. Since I was only out there for 3.5 hours I only stopped to rest on the chairlifts (which are super slow) and took a couple snack breaks at the top, but I was really spent. Got about 5 runs on the flowy blue trails, a few on the green, then did about 4 runs runs on the black trail, forget the name, then did a couple more runs on the blue trail, called it day. It will be worth your while. This was on a busy day out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the only two he posted from Texas was El Paso and Cat Mtn. The last one he posted today was Mississippi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
