Dude you're killing it on the climbs considering you had knee surgery. I heard knee surgery takes a good while to heal from. Keep going (but not too hard at first)!
There is a funky trail I hit one time (gotta film it still) that had a ton of cool "bridges" that were actually metal grates near there. I think it was called Jacob Fork Park.
So Ohlins was awesome and did a custom tune for me and it allowed me to put like 340+ lbs of air in the rear shock; also advised me how to over charge the ramp up chamber on the fork. But in general, get as much air in the rear shock as is allowed (some shocks won’t work because they don’t let you get above 225psi) and if it has a progressive curve, don’t load it up with volume reducers because you’re likely to have to run higher sag than is ideal…and if you make the curve too progressive, you’re essentially going from zero to ramp up only which will feel so stiff and harsh. And don’t go coil because they don’t even make coils that can handle lots of big hits for 250+ riders.
Also the Core 2 has the same suspension that originally came on my bike. It works! The Float X has a way higher max psi than the x2. I just wouldn’t mess with tokens if you’re not getting harsh bottom outs to maximize available stroke
Get a ShockWiz and prepare to load up the fork and shock with volume spacers/tokens. The ShockWiz is amazing, especially if you aren’t a suspension expert.
Low (no) T causes weight gain, as do many other health complications. I've been skinny my whole life and still am relatively thin in my 30s, but it's not that easy for everyone, because not everyone has the same genetics and predisposition. Food isn't the entire equation, and sometimes it doesn't change much even if you have a "perfect" diet.

Welcome back! I'm a large guy as well.
Welcome back! Missed that music 🎉🎶🎧
Glad the surgery was successful ….im 7 months removed from ACL and getting back to mtb and BMX was awesome
That is pretty quick to get back into it for an ACL! Glad to hear.
@@DescentAtBest once rehab put me on a stationary bike I started riding my urban BMX bike and then just practicing on the starting gate…
glad to see u back
Thumbs up. Question, what else is close to lake hickory and zacks fork to ride? I've road those two trails to death.

do you have to "tune" a bike to get it back and ready to rip? if so, what?
Yeah had to change suspension stuff cuz of weight change - basically put more air in it
my dad designed that new pavilion
How do you set your suspension up as a heavier rider? I'm 250lb and just got a jefffsy core 2. Happy riding!

How did you gain that much weight bro just dont eat that much
Yeah it doesn’t make sense. Doing all these blood tests.
