    Glad you took the concussion seriously. Nothing to mess with. FWIW...from my standpoint I'm not watching your channel to see you do crazy stuff or almost kill yourself. I just like that you're sampling so many different Az trails. Many of which I've ridden but a lot that I haven't. I like seeing both thru the lens on my off time. Your genuine commentary is refreshing too. Take care of yourself and enjoy!!!

    • @DonaldRidesBikes
      @DonaldRidesBikes 15 дней назад

      @Michael-h6g I may have misspoke slightly. I don't plan to completely stop trying to progress, but rather doing it at a slower rate, with more gradual increases in difficulty, and being more mindful of the amount of risk I am taking each time. Just trying to get away from the "Hey, that would look cool on video, let me huck myself off that!" mindset.

      If you mountain bike long enough, you're bound to experience a crash. Best thing you can do is be prepared for it - wear protective gear, carry a first-aid kit. When riding alone, let someone know where you will be and when you expect to finish. Also know your limits, and understand when or when not to push them. Have fun, be safe!

    The clicking is a slightly bent rear brake rotor. An easy fix at home or on the scene. The jumping chain off the pie plate could be a bent hanger or maybe just a low limit screw adjustment on the derailleur. Also easy to do at home.

    • @DonaldRidesBikes
      @DonaldRidesBikes 2 месяца назад

      @Michael-h6g Rotor looked to be alright, but the pads were completely toast, so may have been unrelated to the fall and just coincidence (I fell drive side down so would be odd for that to bend the rotor unless a rock kicked up and hit it or something). New pads got rid of the clicking, so hoping that's all it was. Derailleur hanger was indeed bent, but started cracking when trying to straighten it, so that's been replaced as well. Seems to be shifting properly while in the stand, but I'll be taking it for a ride in the next day or two to see how it does on the trail!
