  • This summer I was invited to attend an event for veterans mental health at Sky Park in Southern California. Although it was a 7 hour drive from my house, I decided to go to support my friend that was hosting the event, as well as supporting my brothers and sisters that served in the military. The added bonus was that it was at a mountain bike park and was for riders. This was a win win situation.

    That looked like so much fun. I love the fact that you have to earn your descents by riding to the top.
    Amazing cause too. Big respect!

      It's my Garmin. It measures your air time and some other stats when jumping. I need to turn off the beep. It's annoying. But typical me...I just think about doing it for like 6 months.

    I am 275lbs and been struggling for years now to lose weight. I just started mtbiking 3 months ago but still not losing weight which is very frustrating.

    • @B1KER
      @B1KER  Год назад

      I can tell you the cold hard truth here. It is really just about calories in vs calories out. If you aren’t burning more than you are eating, you won’t loose weight. Believe me, I can ride big rides seven days a week but if I’m slamming beers and eating ice cream and snacks every night…I’ll gain weight. I have a video coming soon that might help motivate ya. I know it’s hard. It’s always a struggle for me. But I always know the fact of the matter is always calories in vs out. Best of luck to ya man.

      @@herbalthoughtbjorn If you aren’t loosing weight, you aren’t burning more. Maybe try counting the calories or using a food tracker. It’s 10 calories for every pound. So at 275 you can eat 2750 calories and not do any exercise and you wouldn’t gain weight. So if you want to do nothing and loose weight you could eat 2500 calories and you’d drop to 250. If your goal is like 200, don’t try to go straight to 2000 calories as you’d be starving yourself and would end up losing muscle mass too. Do it in blocks and when you get closer to let’s say 250 then lower it to 2250. Etc. it’s not easy, just keep trying. Different diets or meal plans work for everyone. Just because one person can count calories doesn’t mean it will work for you. Maybe Keto, or intermittent fasting, or Noom, works for you. Just keep trying until you find something that does. Best of luck bud.
