- Pushing my limits a little too much on this hardtail Mountain Bike ride down "The Luge" which is a Black diamond trail right off the Santiago truck trails. Luckily I survived and made a friend after. for this MTB ride I did notice my brakes were a major limiting factor for me causing my hands to tire out very quick and not be able to confidently go down the faster stuff. I did learn a lot from this ride and will be looking forward to hitting The Luge mtb trail again in my full suspension mountain bike later this year.

Thanks for watching, I'm Looking forward to coming back to this trail with my full suspension bike and a bit more conditioning and experience later this year.
moar mtb!
soon more videos in the que
Very nice! and a BIG Thank You! for turning on Closed Captioning. Sound quality is excellent as well. Looking forward to seeing you do this ride again with the full suspension and greater experience/conditioning. Ride safely.
Cheers man I am looking forward to the full squish too
Nice job! Love seeing people riding hard tails!
cheers man been having a blast with it.
I really enjoy your content. Keep it up with the good work!
Cheers man will do
Damn, all kinds of rattling from that bike..haha, really nice job though. You're gonna kill it on the full squish!
yea I think since its a hardtail that chain is slapping a lot more
beutiful landscape. got me envious. take it easy ;-)
Haha yes which is why I was going a bit slow
Like with your other videos I really enjoy to watch your MTB vidz. How bold you are taking this steep and gnarly trails with that cheap hardtail! I recomend some safety gear if you consider riding downhill frequently. I don´t want´t to see you get hurt!
Cheers man that is a good point
You should get a wider bar, 785 mm, and lower the angle on your brakes, that makes your wrists stronger and more control when braking. And thin kneepads will make you dear that first step hill down ;) awesome ride 🤙🏼
cheers man thank you for the tidbits
Good effort bro. Your a G.C. come to new Zealand. We can dang karts and bikes in the same day
I used to race dirt bikes and rode trails a lot, something that I did to I guess keep my focus is sing a repetitive song over and over. Not really sing but just to your self. It established a rhythm when there isn’t any rhythm on trails.
Cheers man I have done this a lot when I trail run as well. my mind is too focused on not crashing out here as of now.
@@TrueRacerAcademy HA! Glad Im not the only one who does this!
you should find some locals to ride with, it really helps with pushing your boundries
Yes I do plan on this but I want to get atleast some experience in first
hey man good stuff there, well im no expert by any means, but if riding 60 to 80 klm at a time for the last years, pretty much climbing and downhill riding call for some experience i would say that trail didnt look so hard for that bike or brakes, u probably were to tense, i couldn't see how was your braking technique, but the way i do is i only brake with one finger usually the middle finger , the rest of my hand and fingers are on the handle it self. that way i can grab the handle with less strength, and if thats oil brake one finger brake should be easy, at least its for me. And i do brake both brakes but all depends on the situation of course. Today i did an amazing ride by the side of a river , the trail got several klm of slipery rocks and mud with some fast parts in a very skinny trail surround by tress even from the top of the head..
by the way .. really shame on that conditioning for sure hehehe ... that ride wasn't even enough for a warm up :) either way don't sugest doing that stuff alone... better always have someone else with u , even for easy stuff... shit happens when u dont expect alwayssssss
Yea I am probably a bit too tense, one of the issue with the brake was that I ran out of range on the lever so I was not able to apply the full braking force even when I squeezed harder and trust me I kept squeezing harder.
Also there was a 3 mile 1000ft flimb to get here but that really isnt anything, Not having someone with me is also another reason I was using discretion over valor in most cases.
Thought karting makes you fit 😂
haha I have to get fit to get fit for karting
