    Our final adventure in Slovakia was a good one. Some more big mountain shuttles and WILD terrain, my favorite type of riding.

    First trail on this episode - Modrá z Veľkej lúky, Zmija (Viper in english)
    One day in 5-10 years you have to return back, you skipped many more trails around Kunerad and in eastern Slovakia best natural enduro location Branisko (group of people rides them almost every week and trails are in TOP condition all the time)! For you guys probably 2 day ride there :) Thank you for visiting our Slovakia and spread some trail voice around the globe, much love!

      This is how the trails and riding in Slovakia get banned. Presenting illegal riding as cool to the public is not the way to go.

    Lightning rods are required by law to have on the house in Slovakia and Czech. If you wouldnt put one, your house would not get approved by the city, and it would be illegal to live there.

      And if you do not have it the insurance companies will also not pay you when something happens.

    To eat fewer bugs, breathe through your tongue. By which I mean, press it lightly against your upper front teeth. It also helps keep cold air out when riding in harsher conditions.

    Where my family is from, I had NO idea there was biking though. Im kinda blown away of the quality of these trails! On the short list!

    I climb Martinské hole almost every day. Definitely worst part of downhill is the top in moorland because the soil is loose and the trail is like a ditch. It wouldn't be a perfect day without falling into blueberries

    Haha, when you said it reminds you of Jersey... I wonder if you meant "Mountain Creek", I think that was the only episode in which I ever heard you swear... (remember the blue lines? 🤣)... Yeah, i live nearby. Looking forward to the Czech rides!

    Love the bike design czcams.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.

    How do you fix a busted tire or broken chain in the middle of a trail?

    • @majorbadidea
      @majorbadidea Před 10 měsíci

      For the tyre you have a sticker/inner tube with you and for the chain you need a spare missing link (and a tool for splitting the chain where it tore, though some pros can somehow do without)

    Your POV videos are unmatched on CZcams. I am kinda bummed that I have lost interest your videos recently. The 50 State Shred and the NW Arkansas series were the pinnacle for me.

    • @bkxc

      It's OK, I'll keep making them and try to find some fun stuff to do!

  • @Bulldawzer

    Maybe you should consider posting some clips from the videos as YT Shorts? I've noticed that Dale Stone is gaining couple thousand subscribers a day after he started posting Shorts.

    This Slovakia series felt boring. You Peru and Tibet series was something else. Nice trails in Slovakia. But if you captioned it by some place of USA, no one would notice.
