    BRAKES ACQUIRED!!
    Part 2 of this epic day at Mountain Creek Bike Park with Gene from RGMTB, and things are only getting better!
    So many things to be stoked about today as we stepped up the gnarliness to include some serious tech, bigger jumps and drops, and even hit the RACE LINE!!
    I was SUPER stoked to hit my first wall rides since my shoulder dislocation - for some reason I have had a serious mental barrier about them, but I finally overcame my fear and JUST WENT FOR IT!!
    Huge shout out to Gene and MIke and the whole Jersey mtb scene that really welcomed me with open arms this day. It made for such an enjoyable experience, and I am looking forward to doing it again in the future!
    Now on to my next adventure - conquering the concrete jungle of NYC
    Until next time my friends,
    LFRHGS!
    -Alexander

    I know why Specialized's top-tier bikes are called S-Works. Because you have to work your S to buy them.

    Awesome viddy-O Alex! Man, you were going almost "Phil-phast" on those runs! Had me bobbin and weavin' in my chair on some of those! I commented on Gene's video that I ride vicariously through you. Man am I tired and my arms feel like spaghetti-o's too, and I'm in my chair!! ; )

      @The_Sampler  Před 7 lety

      ahaha YES! Stoked to hear that - he definitely rubbed off on me a little during our time together ;)

    Alex, your failure to clear those big tabletop jumps was less about speed and more about height. Getting higher on your pop will get you clear the jump.

    Got to ride Mtn Creek last summer it was a blast. Did you guys ride the table top section up top before the small wall rides? I actually overshot the step-up around 12:50 by a long shot and managed to save it. I was a little hesitant about the wall rides towards the bottom but once you committed it was second nature. Psyched you got them. I have a bmx background and Im impressed how far (and fast) you have come since your underground cave bike park session, skills wise you look a lot more comfortable on your bike. Keep living the dream so guys like me doing a ten hour overnight shift on our day off can live vicariously through you! If your in the N.Y. area again check and see if the Percy Manor Bike Park is finished on Long Island NY. Should be a blast when it's finished. Also for NY trails check out the C.L.I.M.B. MTB website for more trails and reviews in the area!
