Ouch! That was a hard crash. Glad you came out ok. It looked like you slightly went off to the left of where the ideal line is. Going slightly left you have that darn off-camber dirt with a slight gap in it. And awesome you did that big drop near the top, it's intimidating. I still haven't got around to hitting that myself.
Props for hitting bong drop. You really should just creep into it though, not one to pull off of lol…as you learned. Really want to stay straight on the last rock feature, seemed you veered left.
@@nickv3085 haha yeah that and I believe my suspension was wayyy to soft. Yeah I rode that trail when it was raining so I went back to get revenge and now I really enjoy the last part.
Bro your commentary was hilarious. “Rock’s pretty grippy. Oh oh oh… sike!” I had a similar crash as yours. I was too confident and went down a rock roller I wasn’t familiar with and went off line and bottomed out. My ribs went right into the bars and I was sore for a month or two.
Sorry to see the crashes. I've learned that when things just don't "feel" right, and when I'm not feeling confident, I simply dial it back and take it easy. When you mentioned you were not feeling confident, I knew exactly what you meant. I sometimes happens to me on trails I've ridden a 100 times, but something is just off. The opposite is true when some days you feel like a real hero with mad MTB skills. Either way, both conditions require a little caution, at least for me. Thanks for the vid. Going to demo the PNW next week and will be on these same trails.
Hi Todd! Yeah, that day I really tried forcing myself to do features which sadly resulted in me crashing. I definitely learned that patience is key and if I don’t hit a feature it will still be there tomorrow. That’s great! Hopefully you’ll like the relay pnw!
First time without a someone to lead you in that last roller can be risky. Line choice leaves small margin for error. My worst crash to date was that first drop at the top. Was too confident in my case. It gave me 6 months off the bike to think of my mistake. Glad you were able to walk away from that. It looked violent
Yeah, unfortunately I’m new to the area so I had to ride solo. Yeah, same the drop at the top surprised me, was not expecting that much bottom out. Yeah thankfully I was able to ride out.
Great video! Glad to see you're okay! What kind of camera setup do you have? This is probably the clearest video ive seen so far! And hopefully you can make some content on beginner blue trails in SOCAL, been looking for some! Can't wait to see more!

Yeah it was my first time riding the trail and then riding it while it started raining was not a smart choice 😅 and thank you!

damn, that crash made my recoil and gave me PTSD lol, You handled it well though, glad you didn't break anything.
Yeah lol, it was definitely one of the gnarliest crashes I’ve ever had 😅

Hahaha thanks! Yeah it's my nervous commentary 😂 Oh man that's the type of accident I am very afraid of.

Glad you’re ok! Stay right on that roller!
I’m glad as well! Yup made sure of that when I went back for revenge.
Back in the 90s, we rode Lynx on hard tails, and it was basically wide-open, barely touching the brakes. The trail sure has changed.
Yeah there is always a lot of braking bumps now
