I've just gotten back into mountain biking after a 28 year sabbatical 😂. In my teens I rode with some very skilled riders on an old bike with no suspension. Anyway for the last 2,5 years I've been getting fitter and a little more skilled doing mostly XC and some technical trails on a Merida One twenty full sus. My wife bought me a Whole day at Flottsbro, DH bike, gear and lift fee as a birthday present. Any tips for a rusty 46 year old less than intermediate but more than beginner rider? I'm kind of worried that I won't be able for any of the trails. I've ridden Snoken at Yxbacken at full speed on my own bike btw. Didn't risk any of the other trails there due to my bike, skill level and standard helmet. Great vids by the way I really enjoy watching them.
Thanks! Glad you like the vids! I’d say, if you never ridden a big bike, get used to the bike first, so ride maybe enduro and grönsak a few times. Enduro to get used to how much the bike swallows and grönsak to get used to bike park speeds. Then onto grävet. Small jumps and fast single track with a drop and a really mellow jump at the end. Then if you want more adrenaline, the dh1 and 2 and guldkanan är there but I would look at those first before riding them. For dh1 and 2 you need to go fast -ish to be able to roll through the rocks. Free ride is also awesome and consistent for learning how to jump. Main thing is get used to the bike and the speed. The rest will come!
@@HFODT great answer. Really appreciate it, it doesn't sound as intimidating with that approach. I live in Nyköping so it's great to follow your vids from all the reasonably close areas for inspiration and tips. Btw if you've never been you should definitely pay Bergs Gård a visit in Trosa. Especially on an E bike. It's got a really nice variety of trails. 35 km of well maintained trails.
@@HFODT That sucks bro. Hope you heal in time to get back before the season ends. Bergs is a really nice spot. Not much DH but lots of other good stuff.
Such a great day! Nice meeting and riding with you 👊 Have a blast at the Mega 🤙
Thanks dude! We should absolutely ride again!
Super great video like always! Can't wait for some updates from Mega, will be awesome. Ride hard and keep it real!!
Thanks dude, updates are coming! This thing is hard on the hands!
Sweet stuff!
You med Sweden's funniest man at around 2:40 😂 (Kristoffer)
Thanks! Can’t argue with that! 😂
Seems like you're up to good speed!
Getting up there but never fast enough 😂

@@alanbuckley9348funny you should say that, I had plans to do that before I smashed my foot. In a cast for 6 weeks now, so that’ll have to wait 😂
