This one was all about mindset for me. I had a lot more fun on this lap than my first lap a few days earlier simply because I was riding better. This trail is a lot of work, and was super humbling.
Thanks dude! Let's spread the word and get this to the top of the charts! LOL. It's ALWAYS a blast to ride with you. Even when you are taking me uphill!
What a relentlessly gnarly trail! Wind was crazy and can definitely get in your head. Great video! How's the thumb feeling? Stitches? Oh, and you're totally an expert... no intermediate riders are tackling Hangover!
Relentlessly gnarly is the perfect way to put it! Thanks bud! The cut on the thumb healed up fine, but long term, I think I messed it up good. Maybe I'm just feeling arthritis in it now? I dunno, but it hurts while I'm biking bad enough to effect my riding. Thanks for the compliment. I feel like I'm getting better at riding, but if you could see third person perspectives of my riding, you'd see how poor my technique is! ( I don't show those angles for a reason - it's too embarrassing! ) I'm no expert. I promise. Maybe an advanced intermediate? I dunno.
@DustyTrailsMTB So modest! That's OK. You're having fun and stoked on riding. That's all that matters! Seems like you ride a lot of hard trails though! Hopefully the thumb continues to heal. I've had some bad mtb injuries and they fade with time. Good luck and keep putting out these fun videos!!
Both feel like they are hiking trails that mountain bikers can be proud to have navigated. Hangover is definitely less modified to accommodate mountain bikes. No one wants to "dumb it down" but this leaves it feeling unwelcoming to bikes.
Looks like a fun ride!

Yup that’s probably the scariest trail I’ve ridden!!
My nerves were just sooo high the whole time! There aren't many opportunities to relax on this one!
I'm biased but that's the best Hangover video I've seen. More detailed and realistic than others. If only you had a partner who English gooder.

Great trail for h-i-k-i-n-g.
I think high line is more rideable…but either is iconic
