My First XC MTB Race | NOMBS #2 | The Thorn MTB Trail

Raced my first XC MTB race! Competed in the second race of the new Northern Ohio Mountain Bike Series (NOMBS) which took place at Thorn mountain bike trail. My goal was to not die! It was a tough race on a course that doesn't suit my strengths. How did I do?

took nearly 4 minutes to get a curse word out of you... must have been too easy :)

🤣🤣🤣🤣💀🪦

[@TimFitzwater]

Dude - you’re nuts! No chance I would have tried to jump the field right before all that techy stuff! 😅

[@TheLankyCyclist]

Safest place to be. 😅🥵

[@TimFitzwater]

@@TheLankyCyclist you aren’t wrong - still takes some serious guts.

[@330_Crew]

Passing on single track is so difficult that good position going into the woods is key.
If I remember correctly Manatoc is more gnarly. They are not dedicated MTB but scout hiking trails plus more elevation as they go in/out the valley. I’ll be there.

[@TheLankyCyclist]

Heard its a lot like Krampus Kross. Should be fun. 🤣

[@chuckfarlow7517]

Sweet! Thanks for sharing the video :) I was in your group as well...but further behind the train of riders you were in

[@TheLankyCyclist]

Awesome! Great day for riding. Tough course! At least I thought so.

[@MattXL..vanilla_gurilla]

Battled all the way to the finish! Congrats. Hope to see you at some more mtb and even gravel events!

[@TheLankyCyclist]

For sure will see you at least a few. 🙌

[@keithpearson1552]

Red Shirt Dude made the video 😅…. Good riding buddy for a lot of the race….

[@TheLankyCyclist]

LEGEND!!!

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

Looks like fun, good video!! Will be curious to see how the bike works for you.

[@TheLankyCyclist]

Thanks! Need to make some videos about the bike.

[@Deanosaurous]

The best part was the older guy on your wheel the whole time.

[@TheLankyCyclist]

He made my day and was the star of the show.

[@kenbeech4940]

Great video! I made a cameo on a few shots. I finished 2nd place in novice 50+ to the guy that crashed at least 3 times.

[@TheLankyCyclist]

Thanks! Hopefully see you at another NOMBS race this year.

[@TheLankyCyclist]

@@kenbeech4940 I will be there! If it’s like the cyclocross course, it’ll be brutal. 💀

[@JDirom]

Nicely done. So when do we get to see the DH Lanky Cyclist?

[@TheLankyCyclist]

I’ll leave that to you!
