Thnx for filming the whole trail. Looks technical but really good. It's on my list once I get back to Finale. Was it difficult to get up top? By the way, what were you always trying to adjust? I believe that made you fall 😢
@@Bogdan_Ch the only thing I was adjusting really was low speed compression, lowered it to see if it helped with some of the nasty holes out there, but then put it right back, since the fork started diving a bit too much when braking on the steeps for my comfort. The crash was caused by a mistake, didn't see a rock, stump or whatever that was, anyway, I catched a pedal which ejected me from the bike, as can be seen ;) Trail is really technical with no easier sections in-between, that's the toughest trail I've ever ridden to date, none of the sections were super hard, like harder than I could handle (but right at the limit), however, since there was so much of it, that was quite a challenge.
@@piciu256 different profile? Apologies for writing it shortly, forgot to mention, adjusting your goggles or something at your helmet :) Anyway, hope it wasn't a nasty crash, didn't look that bad on camera.
Crash would have been bad if I was wearing low profile knee protectors, I hit my leg very hard on the rock, other than that I was lucky to have slid on the rock, instead of stopping in place, the speed was quite high.
@@piciu256 ouch. Well, it's not a mistake then for Karma being labeled as black trail as many thing can come unexpected. But now back to it. To get to the top of Monte Carmo / start of the trail, can you cycle there or you need to push & carry the bike from the top of Otrefinale trails ?

@@Bogdan_Ch ah, the goggles, it was just a small fly that got in there, very annoying but managed to get rid of it.
