    I've gained a whole new appreciation for the term "natural trail" since moving to Europe.

    Wow! That may be one of the more technical trails I've seen you ride in your videos. Some had more pucker factor with the drop-off's but not nearly as diverse as this one.

    There has been a spate of bear attacks in Slovakia lately, so grab yourself a bell. This is the conflict for me though Czech doesn't have bears BUT Slovakia has all of the elevation!

    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.

    Maybe it’s been on a Patreon video or one of your TH-cam vids and I missed it, but is that a new bike? It doesn’t look like your last Ripmo. Are you just using this for your European adventures?

    wow you had to go halfway around the world to get some real OG mountain biking trails where you can actually use the modern geo and suspension to cope with the trail…damn shame every mountain bike trail around has mega berms and some stupid doubles or 45° faced jump…just stop this shiste trailbuilders….
