    Stoked Alex and I got to do this video. Risk is a big part of our sport, and even though we can't remove it from the equation, you can decide to not do something if if things don't 100% line up. Make sure to use the code REMY20 on OneUp Components cockpit and my other discounts with this link: beacons.ai/remymetailler

    Huge respect to Alex for making a solid decision, and to Remy for highlighting it in the video. There are many channels where I can see gnarly riding. There are very few presenting this level of honest, ego-free risk management. Thank you.

  • @MichaelAverycarhauler1969

    That message totally resonates with me. Coming off a ruptured spleen from a relatively minor crash in February, if you're not 100% on any feature, or line, even on a trail you're familiar with, and confident on, wait until another day.

    Amazing vid. Super interesting to see how you approach new challenging features and super nice to show that you can always say no if you are not feeling it.

    Genuinely love that you session so many things - when you do it, you normalize it for the rest of us - really appreciate that. (Also like it when you highlight the trail builders - they are often the true heroes putting in 10s or 100s of hours to create fun for everyone.) Quick request: Could you comment on the amount of travel you have on your bike for some of these rides? Whole bike description is not always needed - but when I think about riding some the trails, I am wondering if I can get by with 140mm travel or if I need 160 or even bigger. (My favorite bike has 140mm - it feels playful and fast, but I doubt it could handle much of what you do --- but frankly am unsure.) Really appreciate your content.

    •  Před 21 dnem +1

      Thanks. This specific bike has 180mm of travel
