throet Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 This video really puts things in perspective in terms of how skilled pro-level riders really are. Rich Drew unarguably has mad skills; yet these two pro-level riders are just toying with him on these skills challenges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cxagent Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I did not see if this was posted before - but it should be. Since we are all "social distancing" and missing riding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcarneytx Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 A different way of introducing a new bike. Almost want to trade my Jeffsy for this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXZJ Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Looks like they ran outta that Walken money and went anime on this one. Bike's pretty cool though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walken was only for the Jeffsy. They do something a bit different for each. Most recent before Izzo was for Decoy. And before Jeffsy/Walken was The Goat Edited April 23, 2020 by jcarneytx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotdurt Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) There have been several discussions here and on Mojo about "flow", usually started by people complaining that a trail or trail feature does not... I've always maintained that much flow comes from the rider and how they read and work the trail, and not necessarily from the trail builder, and if you are expecting the trail to provide the flow, you are doing it wrong and missing out. This video presents a profound analogy of reading a trail like reading music... It's not on Youtube though, so not sure if this will embed GMBN on fb Edited May 12, 2020 by gotdurt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidingAgain Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I think it's a bit of both... In surfing, you can't ride a short choppy wave that spikes quickly the same way you can a long clean wave that builds slowly. They're just two different waves that require two different approaches. And i think mtb trails are kind of the same... Some have more smooth flow, others more choppy and broken up. But your mindset when riding either can certainly have flow to it... I think this is what is called getting into the zone in sports... You're just so focused on what you doing it becomes like an extension of your body and nature. I've found that riding in the evenings, at dusk — when you could use a light, but you can still kind of see even if you don't — has always been a favorite time for me to ride... Because the sun has gone down there are not the distinct shadows that help you distinguish shapes. This means that you have to ride even more by feel and intuition than you may while riding earlier in the day. Riding at dusk with no light was something I did often when I first started riding back in the mid-'90s... There was a park with a trail near to where I lived, so I was able to get home from work and quickly head out to it to get in a ride before sunset (when the park officially closed), but I knew the ranger and he'd let me finish my ride, so I'd be out there at dusk day after day. I think this influenced how I learned to ride even during the day... By getting into the zone, riding by feel. Which may be why I prefer to ride by myself, and without music.

olddbrider Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 I check out this channel every once in a while because for some reason I find it really interesting watching them start with a chunk of steel and end up with something cool, functional, and (usually) beautiful. I hadn't checked it out in a while and when hopped on this morning I saw that he's starting a project to build his own mountain bike. Based on prior projects, I expect he'll make a bunch of mistakes. But he's pretty meticulous, so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out. Based on his experience buying grips you'll quickly see that he is a total noob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throet Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 If I could spend a day riding with any pro, it would have to be Yoann. Yeah he'd probably get me killed but I'd have so much damn fun in the process. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXZJ Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Yoann's attitude like his riding is just awesome. I'm with you on him getting us hurt but it'd be a good story to tell. Freaking great interview with him if you have the time. http://www.downtimepodcast.com/yoann-barelli-2019/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
