That was definitely a rough and rowdy race! Still so much fun, and it's hard to beat these trails here in Bellingham! I got so close to hittin a couple of those trees on my run.
I'm going to do a race next year and nailed a tree on the very first mtb trail I ever rode! Good going on the race, looked exciting including the tree crash.
Dude good to run into you again! Tell you one thing, hardtail was not the way to go this round!! Haha I was hurting at the end pretty bad. Went of the trail after the rock roll though. All in all went pretty ok considering I went in blind.
@@harrygrimley4352 They started riders 30 seconds apart. I believe there was a 5 minute gap between the Sport, Expert, and Pro self-seeded groups to allow enough time to clear the course.
Harry Grimley With 30 second between starts there’s a bit of passing, yes. This trail was tricky as there aren’t a lot of good spots to get around another rider.
Have you ever entered a race before? Hit any trees along the way? Leave a comment below!
Daily MTB Rider got my first race in September. Hopefully going to stay clear of the trees
Yes and broke my front wheel on my old bike
I don't need a race to hit trees!
@@mattdeso1672 hahah
Not to outdo you, but I endoed down a rock garden in front of like 50+ people with chainsaws and stuff. At least I got a cheer
The slo-mo hecklers, "YEEEAA-Ohhhh!" was perfection! I had to watch (listen) to that 5 times. ;)
Haha you can’t beat those hecklers!
Lets send it in the EWS100 my friend!!
Deals! Nothing but sending it will happen!
Those darn trees jumping in front of people like that 🤣 Definitely a good save though
Haha they just keep popping out on me! The best part was me saying "if anyone is doing to fall, it's going to be me!" 😂
@@DailyMTBRider Yeah you definitely set yourself up for that one haha
So much fun.

Looks like such a fun trail
No body:
Daily mtb mid run “I’m so hungry “
Story of my life 😂
Damn tree hugger! Nice work and good luck on the ews race.
Awesome man! It's like Christmas when you post one of these! I wait for it like a Birthday present! Hahaha
Omg, those poor trees! Stay safe!
Gloves stayed on 👍
And that was a miracle! 😂
I am neither young, skilled or fast and I am always looking forward to see Mike's enthousiasm at mtbing.
I can relate to you Jose! I love MTB'ing - riding with these young bucks does make me better. Wish I hadn't taken a wrong turn though.
Solid run Josh!!!
You beat me by .7 seconds, great job on the race, Nice meeting you yesterday. Good luck at the EWS.
Great to meet you too man! And I'm sure next time you'll beat me by .7!
Hey just stopped by to say
I had fun on meth lab thanks for supporting those trails
Hey Josh love your videos
Thanks Jack! You're a loyal subscriber and that means a lot!
That 9:48 tripped me out. Thought my laptop was gonna crash 🤣

They totally read your letter on episode 561! Awesome! I had no idea! Anyway, great video!
Yeah they did! I’m a big fan (of the podcast and Disney 😉)
@@DailyMTBRider Knowing that you're one of the weirdos that has listened to every episode is both a blessing and a cursing :p
is it me or is Mike always posing like superman? lmao
Mike is Superman.... jokes on us 😂
You gotta do something to distract from the mediocre riding...
Dude good to run into you again! Tell you one thing, hardtail was not the way to go this round!! Haha I was hurting at the end pretty bad. Went of the trail after the rock roll though. All in all went pretty ok considering I went in blind.
I was able to ride the first half of the trail right before the race and went OTB. I also rode the last part of that course blind. Fun times!
You should come to maryland the trails are awesome I am ten and race cyclocross and road
I'm dying to get to the east coast! One da yI'll make it happen!
Josh i love your videos and i have just bought the NS snab and its a rlly good bike
Thanks so much man! And stoked for you on the snab, those are sweet rigs!
@@DailyMTBRider yeah they really are and i might be going whisler for EWS but i dont know right now beacuase of the cost
Let me know man! I'll be up there!
@@DailyMTBRider i will as soon as i know
Damn trees. Someone should go through and log all of them.
Devils Cross is a black? Dang. I wish I participated, that looks so fun.
It’s super fun dude! Wish you were there!
My dude you were haulin
I don’t even watch this channel but I’m early
So the root section where you met the tree... how should that section be ridden? Great sessioning spot.
Do they have an amateur division? Or first time racing catagory?
Yeah they self seed so people in the "sport" division don't have the pros coming up behind them!
@@DailyMTBRider how much time do they put between riders?
@@harrygrimley4352 They started riders 30 seconds apart. I believe there was a 5 minute gap between the Sport, Expert, and Pro self-seeded groups to allow enough time to clear the course.
@@mattjgreene thank you. So there must be passing from time to time right? Hard to do.
Harry Grimley With 30 second between starts there’s a bit of passing, yes. This trail was tricky as there aren’t a lot of good spots to get around another rider.
Dude, you need to hook up with Blake samson and do some hard tail shennanigans. With capes.
Dang trees always get in the way when we're riding dont they know how to get out way you're in a rush geez
I'm working on a chainsaw attachment for my bike - that should fix things right up 😂
@@DailyMTBRider Oh man that would look schweet
I don't need any more convincing that trees don't belong in biking...😬🌲🐿️
Nice
100th viewer! Ayyyy
Haha you're living the dream Jesse! Thanks for watching!
Hit more trees than a Stormtrooper on Endor
Time for a full face helmet.
Haha true true! I was wearing one, and you can never be too safe
Clipped a tree with your shoulder then hit one with your face
I heard that's what the pros do in the EWS - training at it's finest 😂
I wish I could ride with you or in Washington but I live in Florida and my dad has multiple sclorosis
More racing, less high speed tree hugging
Treehugger
I mean, that tree looked like it needed a little love!
@@DailyMTBRider you can love the trees just don't LOVE the trees
