I was just chatting with a friend yesterday. I'm hoping to make it out this season but I've been struggling with a knee injury. Right now I'm struggling to keep up on 2 hour group rides let alone an all out race. Fingers crossed and hoping....
I use flats for almost everything except xc, then I go clipless. It's a pain having to remember which shoes to bring, but for pedaling flats just don't cut it. I would ride clipless for everything but I have a natural duck stance.
@@kevinharris2614 Great eye. I pedal up the first time with just the powder, then I fill the bottle at the fill station. To be honest I totally forgot. At Vail I always feel like I want more water after the race. I usually have a recovery mix with a bar and some beef jerky and whatever leftover race fluids.
Looks so easy when you make it....
it always does until it doesn't
That rock @19:33 looks like you can ride around it. Is that the one you were mentioning earlier?
Yes it does, but usually rolling rocks isn't a big deal. There's a small rock at the bottom I think I got stuck on the time I almost crashed
I just did my first ride out there!!!! Life changing experience buying my first hard tail
Met Alex and he took me and a guided follow along :)
Rad! I still don't know where I'm going when I'm out there. The white arrows help for the xc course.
You gotta do more Over The Hump :) more fast pace

@@MTBMOR alright awesome! 2 more races still! but yeah gotta heal up.
How's it Mor do you use your usual MTB shoes for xc or do you use clipless?
I use flats for almost everything except xc, then I go clipless. It's a pain having to remember which shoes to bring, but for pedaling flats just don't cut it. I would ride clipless for everything but I have a natural duck stance.
let me know when your out here again, ill get some drone footage of you!
Sounds good.
What’s in your water bottle?
I raced without one. I usually just use water but if I have a mix from Ryno Power I will use it
Ok I saw something orange in your bottle. Ryan Hughes is the man. Love your videos👍🏾
