  • Mountain Bike Parks or Bike Parks for short are a great place for all levels of mountain biker to ride. Some are small and offer easy trails for beginner riders and others have huge jumps and scary technical downhill sections. In this video, Blake Samson shows you what to expect when you get there so you can stay safe and have the most fun! 🤘

      I haven't ridden at a bike part yet (and I'd be very hard pressed to find one in my area unfortunately), but I'd love to when I have a bike that's capable for it.

    • @charlesslwilson
      @charlesslwilson 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Love bike parks. Off to Windhill tomorrow and taking some friends who are just getting into MTB too. It’s great!
      You know the jumps and other features are well built so they are also a great place to practice skills. Shred it!!
      Super excited about our ride tomorrow......even at 45 years old 🤟

    • @chrisridesbicycles
      @chrisridesbicycles 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Bikeparks are pretty rare in Germany. So riding one is a typical holiday thing for me. I love that you can progress there because the jumps a built by pros and you can be pretty sure that they will not send you into a tree.

    How about you guys doing some in-depth reviews of individual bike parks. Trails/features/challenges, things to look out for etc. etc. Make a great series, probably stuck with UK ones for now with the pandemic.

      I know I’m a little late but I still just wanted to say don’t worry about it I can’t speak for everyone but I’m always happy to see new riders or older riders that are getting back on the bike this hobby need to get more mainstream for it to get bigger and new riders are the reason it’s still alive!

    Please add „while looking before leaping, don’t stand on the takeoff/landing and watch out for riders”!
    Witnessed way too many crashes on the last few weekends because of people walking and standing on the trail.
    Otherwise, great video and stay healthy!

    • @PerceptionFPV
      @PerceptionFPV ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah it can get dangerous luckily it never happened to me but I do often go to a trail near a park that’s located on top of a hill and sadly a lot of people walk on those trails like I have atleast seen 20+ on those trails and because I’m rather young they don’t listen to me at all when I’m telling them how dangerous it could be

    Love the bike design th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.
