    I really like how you two interact with each other. Lot's of love. Eric I am glad to see you are human and sometimes fail. No I don't want you to fail but it's good to see the challenges.

    I’m having a blast watching you guys go thru these difficult trails- so flipping inspiring to see crashes and fear and then success by actually finishing the trail together. Keep going, please!

    I had the same experience as them, walked all the big features. I can't emphasize this enough, it is far steeper and the features are bigger than they look on camera. The wide angle of the Gopro really flattens everything. This was especially true at the first big one around 3 minutes. It looked like I was about to ride off the roof of a house.

  • @slappdaddy8
    @slappdaddy8 5 лет назад +1

    I love the fact that you show rides beyond your limits -
    It sets the example for MTB'ers - stretch your limits, while at the same time working within your limits.
    It's better to walk a feature, rather than hurt yourself!
    Everybody wants to ride again tomorrow, right???
    Thanks for the great videos.

    It hurts my brain when people associate failure with getting off your bike and walking a feature. FM is a janky steep trail with lots of exposure. You successfully completed it!

      That was actually what surprisingly improved my riding the most over the last years as i specifically put more focus on it: *slow riding!* Not going fast and battling the terrain as i thought before.
      Being able to stop and get off in a controlled manner if needed, track stand a bit to make decisions, balance and some hopping. Eye-opening!
