I'm still alive.
Its been over a year since I've posted any TH-cam videos. Sorry! I'll try to post more. Ive been pretty active on Instagram. @ridingmybestlife . A reel there gets 30k views vs only like 1500 views on YT. And it take so much longer to create for TH-cam. But regardless, I like the format and will return someday with something fresh. Until then here is proof of life.

Pain After Riding? It could be from poor technique.

    Hey just found your channel. I have a Wire Peak comp, just picked it up a couple weeks ago. I went back and forth for well over a year about whether to get one. I have light asthma that only manifests when I'm really pushing hard. I rode with some buddies and couldn't keep up, figured it was a problem of getting in better shape (I was 5 10 and 220lbs at the time, so a bit overweight but nothing insane). So I started doing 7 miles 3+ times a week. Not crazy climbs, more for the cardio, +- 150 feet is all. Then my knees started hurting. Discovered I have osteoarthritis in both knees. Had to have surgery. Six months and 20lbs later, I got on my La Sal Peak to start riding again. Started with neighborhood rides, 1/2 mile, 1 mile. After a few weeks of that I moved to a little dirt but completely flat still, 2-3 miles. Did that three times and couldn't walk, couldn't ride. Had to start icing my knees again. So I decided to try an eMTB. First time ever one one, I did 18 miles and almost 800ft climbing. Didn't hurt. I sweat like a bear in heat. Went and picked up a used Wire Peak the next week. That was 18 days ago. I've done 210 miles in 18 hours and climbed over 10,600 feet since then. Stairs hurt my knees, a bit, and standing and getting down on my knees or sitting on the floor hurts a bit. But riding? I can do that all day long. I've lost about 8lbs and feel better physically than I have in years.

    • @Giftig--Daniel-P
      @Giftig--Daniel-P ปีที่แล้ว

      In regards to wrecking and such, I've had one wreck since starting up again, due to hitting a sandy, off-camber slope at the wrong angle and with not enough psi in my tires resulting in rolling then sliding out from under me. But I have been really careful. Knowing a bad fall could mean serious trouble, and not being able to stand up for long periods of time on downhills, has made me a lot more cautious about speeds and what I will attempt. But even still, I'm improving my technique faster than I did on my analog bike.

      This trail started on church rocks , and ended on one we call Dino . Most people who travel here to ride love to ride gooseberry Mesa . It has the best views . We don’t have a lot of flow our trails because of how many rocks we have . But you can find short bursts . If you have a few days .. start with church rocks or paradise rim to get use to the terrain . Then head out for a Mesa ride . Gooseberry, Wire, guacamole or little creek . All have videos on this channel if you want to preview them . If you have time and want more flow . Jump in the car drive to Richfield utah , a little over 2 hours away and shuttle all 19 miles of spinal tap … hope this helps , safe travel and thanks for reaching out .

If you are a mountain biker, its a piece of cake, very fun. rode .69 miles of gooseberry and turned around, was alone. that .69 was easy, beyond that, hell if i know, but the black diamond trails are really easy, if you are a mountain biker. if you just started MTB, then best be ready to walk and walk alot.

    A friend and I met Mike and Morgan Harris on a 1997 trip to southern Utah. They are the locals who scouted and created the trails on Goose and Little Creek. It's an honor for me to think about my time riding with Mike and Morgan over the years. All the vids I've seen of Goose (Goozbree, in local parlance) remind me of their amazing riding technique and smoothness of effort. They were in their mid-50s at that time, and they SHOWED us how it was done. After a few twice-yearly visits to Goose, we were able to ride the whole South Rim (from the parking lot toward The Point) without dabbing (okay, certainly a few spots took a few tries). Our inspiration to try and try again, of course, came from the creators. Unbelievably wonderful men. Kind, humble, and crushingly funny! The point of all this is that we must recognise the folks who came before us. We have this fun because they did the work. Peace.

    This has to be my favorite downhill trail in richfield

      I can’t argue that . It’s legit awesome . If you haven’t had the chance to ride the completed 18 miles of spinal tap , it’s amazing as well.

    500W battery kinda sucks for 2022. The weakest aspect of this bike by far.

    CAn you shuttle this ride?

      @RidingMyBestLife 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes .. and it’s even better now than when I made this video . They have added more trail and one called spinal tap is possibly the best 18 mile shuttle DH trail in Utah .

    Thank you for this great review. I want to strongly +1 the positive sentiment in this review re upgrading the sb130 to a lunch ride. I'm an aggressive rider and have appreciated the additional bite from the brakes, Assegai 2.5" on the front is game changer, and 2.4" DHR II on the rear. The additional travel on this bike is remarkable. The techy climbing is better, stronger cornering, more playful jumping, while expanding confidence at very high speeds. I had the brakes and tires upgrades ahead of suspension and after watching this review I decided to go 160/137 when suspension was being worked on. Thank you again!
