  • There was a crazy pro-line in Virgin, Utah, called Flying Monkey. The trail goes just beside a cliff. One crash might cost you a lot! Watch how we suffered and laugh!!

    Being weak is a smart move sometimes it keeps you away from any accidents and saves you a huge amount of money. So don't be affraid of being weak. 👍

    I love the fact that you show rides beyond your limits -
    It sets the example for MTB'ers - stretch your limits, while at the same time working within your limits.
    It's better to walk a feature, rather than hurt yourself!
    Everybody wants to ride again tomorrow, right???
    Thanks for the great videos.

  • @davidc6032
    @davidc6032 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I had the same experience as them, walked all the big features. I can't emphasize this enough, it is far steeper and the features are bigger than they look on camera. The wide angle of the Gopro really flattens everything. This was especially true at the first big one around 3 minutes. It looked like I was about to ride off the roof of a house.

    Eric seems to have done a "Heartilage" on this entire trip, haha, normally seems like he shreds everything! confidence has caught the bus and left him lol

    • @VanGirlYuka

      Maybe He doesn't want to show his weakness in his videos. He is sometime too much thinking and he can't ride!

      @@VanGirlYuka yep I think we are all guilty of that at times, over thinking things can restrict us I know ive done it with gap jumps both on the MTB and Moto X bike.

    I think this vid is quite educational - cuts all the "men-vs-women-bs" and shows that there is no actual competition between riders. Just you and _the trail_ that's challenging your skillset to ride to the best of your abilities. And that includes the decision to better walk a feature in order to be able to ride another day! 👍🏻

      @Matthew:
      That was actually what surprisingly improved my riding the most over the last years as i specifically put more focus on it: *slow riding!* Not going fast and battling the terrain as i thought before.
      Being able to stop and get off in a controlled manner if needed, track stand a bit to make decisions, balance and some hopping. Eye-opening!
