    This video brings back so many good memories. I raced the psychosis in '99. I recall someone took a photo of me rolling over the big rock at 18:33 of the video - the best part was we were given paper dinner plates to use as number plates! The trail and racing was raw back then. Thanks Remy!

      @@mumblerocks77 TBH, we didn't know how steep it was until we arrived the evening before the race and rode some practices sessions. We had already paid entry fee and accommodations so we were at the point of no-return. Of the mere mortals who raced, those who cleaned the top section basically won. Finishing times were around 15 minutes if you rode it clean. I remember the wrist pump being so bad by the time I reached the finish, I couldn't even pull the brake levers.

    Well done Remy. I really know the struggle - I can’t enjoy riding when I don’t know where I’ll able to stop again. Steeps are fun when you can control them - you did really good in the first section! 👌🏽🔥

    Hey Remy
    Great video it's super interesting to see how you analyze the wet conditions and behave accordingly.
    Here in switzerland it is extremely dry and dusty at the moment it would be very interesting to see how you react to dusty almost sandy surfaces and what you pay special attention to.

    Your a great rider. Looks like fun- though after my mTBI, I would not dream to ever do that. Every time you pasted a tree at speed, my head hurt. You have no idea until you hit your head how quickly your life can change. 3 years out I am better but still not the same. I use to be just as fearless as you- ski off cliffs, mountain bikes, jump motorcycles, judo, you name it. When you get a bit older, you value things differently. Now I am more into fitness, running, nutrition (I used for healing), my dog and my guitar!
    Stay safe- Cheers!

Obviously there is a difference where the conditions weren't great for you, but for a lot of us, the trails asks us questions we have no answer for. Keep up the content dude!

    @tommycooperfish 2 года назад

    Yeah red clay in any type of wet is just absolute death. I kinda got used to it (I bring out the twitchy-electrified-chicken technique as needed nowadays) as I cut my teeth free riding a gorge with dirt very similar to that and its just so damn insane how little traction you get once you add a bit of H2O to the mix. Nice in the summer though, but I feel the loamy type pine forests are a lot nicer to ride in pretty much all weather.
    Sweet riding as usual :) Amazing spot too.

      It's on top of mount 7. If you go know that the top section you see and drop into is WAY easier than into the Forrest, there it gets steeper and the roots are suspended with open-faced beneath ( it gets much much steeper ) lots of good trails in the area .

    I rode dead dog in the rain and I’ve never been so scared on a mountain bike. Coming from riding Squamish/Pemby trails, usually riding in the rain makes for better dirt conditions…not a slip and slide on clay. I feel much better about my experience after watching you struggle as well.
