First time I tried this about 5 years ago one of the right hand berms was pure moondust and it really harshed my mellow. Then I got mixed up where it intersects with other trails, lol.
Did you really have to stop this guy in front of you while he was entering a berm? Did you really have to tell him you were behind him after waiting only 5/10 seconds? He heard you, you just had to wait he could slow down, stop, in a normal spot, and only if he wanted to, he had the right to keep going, and you know that. Do you think that just because you are a fantastic rider, you are entitled to the right to use the trail for you only? Don't you think the guy in front of you was trying to have fun as you did and that you killed his fun? Do you think that your YT video has greater rights than his fun? Really? You did not even wait for the right spot for him to stop without destroying his ride. This is not the first time I have seen this behavior in one of your videos; I remember at least another time (I think in a Mammoth video, but not sure, though). Don't get me wrong, you make great videos, you are a fantastic rider. But probably you are not a good person as you are as a rider. And by the way, you violated the Big Bear Park rules; you should have been kicked out.
I don't often reply to Karens but I'll bite. Anyone who has worn a full face helmet in their life will know that it muffles everything and it is difficult to hear anything behind you. I alerted him of my presence, and even rode off trail in the center of the berm in order to allow him to stay on trail only after he looked back at me. I'm glad you find policing other people's enjoyment of trails to be entertaining. And I would be happy to pass you on the trails any day. 👍🏼
@@SingleTrackSurgeon I wear every sat and sun a DH full face, and I always hear people faster than me coming behind (maybe it does not happen to you, and you have no idea of how it works), and I try to get out of the way, if possible, and when possible, not in the middle of a berm though. Instead, I stay out of the way of slower riders. And if too slow or real beginners, I usually, I stop and wait instead of trying to pass them. I usually thank anyone who tries to explain to me what I did wrong and makes me think about it; I do not call them Karen, and I do not show anger, as you are clearly doing in your post. You probably pass over me every Saturday and Sunday in Big Bear; keep doing it. I will definitely learn something from you. I might also buy you a beer. But calling Karen, me, or anyone else trying to point out your behavior on a beginner-oriented trail over clearly a total beginner who was for sure scared of you and had to change line without being an expert probably confirms what I wrote above. Not going to keep discussing about it though, that was my comment, I see you do not like negative comments, good enough for me, have fun, keep doing great videos, and thank you for the channel content.
Dang you were flying down this trail! Nice!
Haven't been in a while, checking in on the trails to see if anything is different.
Still the same Turtle 🐢
Awesome riding, thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

They have made some changes to make it easier to navigate, and the signs are better now too.
Is this 4:3 stretched?
4:3 cropped to 16:9 actually.
The arm pump on turtle trail is real... very real. lol
It's better than in past years that's for sure.
