  1. I have a pair of friends that ride like this, they think it’s so fun and exciting, to me it’s just so tedious and takes away all the enjoyment of getting out for a ride. I don’t mind hitting a spot here and there that requires a little bit of a hop up. But they just love digging through rock gardens and will intentionally take trails with more obstacles. I’m in my 40s. I’m completely over it.

    I’ll take it all day in the downhill, but it’s so annoying for a climb

    Super impressive though

    So…I truly wish I had those skills. But as a recovering XC/Marathon racer when I encounter stuff like that I’m off the bike and hoofing it through and back on the bike in about half the time it takes to ”ride” it and with half the energy output. I know that cleaning it without dabbing is the point for many, but for me it’s to get on down the trail as quickly as possible, to see more sights, to cover more miles, to not fall over and bang the crap out of my legs, ribs, hands, and head.

  3. Reminds me of old school Hans Rey video parts. That guy was my idol when I was a kid.

    I could (and would) never but that’s sick. A time trial up that would be fun to watch.

  5. That’s not a technical climb, that’s uphill trials. And damn impressive at that.
