Hey Alan….great video! Glad you survived the tree crash….you made the jumps look pretty easy. I met you yesterday afternoon…..appreciate the tips about 10 Ply…..thanks for taking the time. God bless!
Your videos have really helped me learning to jump properly…..been riding about 25 years. I’m 63 so I need to be careful & learn good techniques. I’ve got a group of friends meeting at snow summit this coming Tuesday. If you’re up there it would be great to see you in the trails. Thanks again for the great content on TH-cam!
Heck yeah! Be careful or you'll become a park rat like me. 😂 Yeah, 10 Ply is no joke, and I'm not gonna lie. I always gotta take some calming breathes every time I get ready to drop into that trail. But if you can get pretty comfortable with Miracle Mile, you might be ready to hit 10 Ply.
It’s funny that the mind makes a gap seem so much harder than a longer table …. Good job Alan. I’ve recently starting clearing 9 meter road gaps and it feels so good 🤙🏼
Last year I kept using my short travel bike as an excuse. This year I have a long travel bike but I still haven’t hit them 😆. Maybe next year I’ll have a dh bike and need another excuse
Hey Alan. I love the way you go into the mental process of tackling scary, unfamiliar stuff! Slightly off topic question here...what is the tamest way to exit Blue Steel and go the rest of the way down for beginners? I haven't been there in long time since they built it, and BS itself looks pretty well groomed and smooth.
Thanks! As you come out of the woods in Blue Steel, where it starts to merge with Partywave, stay right. And after the trail merges with Partywave again, you’ll come to an open area where a lot of people stop. From there, go under the bridge. This will keep you on Bluesteel. You’ll traverse a bit and come to a split. Go right to head into Turtle which is the blue that will take you the rest of the way down. Hope that helps! I think I show this route on my Blue Steel video.
Great video , appreciate your honesty and willingness to help others progress , stay safe brother and blessings for many other injury free adventures

Yes….we talked about the trails in the Palm Desert area….Palm Canyon epic, and San Clemente trails.

This weekend was my first trip ever to a bike park! Super fun, tho idk if I’ll ever be able to do 10 ply lol
Heck yeah! Be careful or you'll become a park rat like me. 😂

Wow jumping skills are on point! Awesome job, I love me some snow summit, it’s a far drive though, but I like to do it at least 3 times a year
Thanks! I love me some Snow Summit!
I hope I can see you in santiago oaks orange one of this days
🤘🏾
Awesome riding man! I’d love to meet up with you sometime up there and do some sheddage! Haven’t been up since the US Open in 19’.
Thanks! 10Ply is a lot more fun now!

💯 🎯
Heck yeah! That’s rad!
just watched tommy's vid and then yours nice job.
🙏🏾
Nice one Alan!
🙏🏾
love the videos man.
🙏🏾
The warm up lap trail looked like much bigger jumps than 10ply.
Definitely bigger but no gaps. 😅
Awesome stuff buddy 🤩🤘🔥
Thanks! 🤘🏾
Gaps alway play mind games on riders…
My motto, go fast and pull up!
70% of the time, it works every time!
😆
Mobius X8 wrist brace sighting!

Last year I kept using my short travel bike as an excuse. This year I have a long travel bike but I still haven’t hit them 😆. Maybe next year I’ll have a dh bike and need another excuse
😆 FWIW, Joey was on a short travel bike.
The warm up jump laps were like 10x the difficulty of the gaps, lol.
I know. It’s crazy right?
Hey great job, not sure if i missed the video about it but did Giant give you the new bike? Still have your Santa Cruz? Keep the stoke alive Alan!
Thanks! The Giant is a loaner. I still have the Nomad. 🤘🏾

@@mtb_alan Thanks Alan! I saw that video a while back, but I’ll check it again.
@@sdtrailrider8070 🤘🏾 I hope that’s where I show that. 😅
@@mtb_alan Its all good. It's really cool to see your progression from you older vids.
🙏🏾
"I heard the trails were kinda dry" haha 😄
😆
Looking smooth. How's the Trans X riding? I'm demoing the Trans X 27.5 right now.
Thanks! I don’t have the Trance anymore. On the Reign and it’s a blast!
@@mtb_alan Right on! The videos are super motivating. Keep it up!
Right on.
By the way, I had a blast on the Trance. It was the Trance X 29er though.
How's that Giant?
Diggin’ it! 🤘🏾
You're ripping. One of these days I'm going to have to ask to follow you. If I fall more than 15 seconds behind you do not have to wait for me....
Sure thing!
Ummmmm.....your warm up looks more difficult than those doubles you were afraid of. It's all mental man!
💯
