Today I also curse at myself and say "more radder". I also answer more of your questions. I wonder about what the new trends and technologies will be for 2020. I am grateful for early adopters with deep pockets who help fund the bike industry's R&D. I discuss the reality of mountain bike communities that connect on the internet.

"How to overcome fear on the trail could be a nice topic?"

Today we discuss poaching mountain bike trails, gratitude for trail advocacy and wilderness, the fact that Aaron Gwin DID sing! We also discover how my brain doesn't really work before coffee.

CHANNEL NEWS

I am hoping to attend the demo day at The Path Bike Shop's Live Oak location where Aaron Gwin is scheduled to sing at 1pm. 

I have a Fontana Southridge DH Race vid in the works.

POINT OF CURIOSITY

What's the story of the race series that has been happening at Fontana Southridge for almost 30 years?

POINT OF GRATITUDE

I am grateful for a mountain bike community that understands injury and never tells me to "be careful"

MAIN CONTENT

Stopping mountain biking to do something else for a minute can make your time on the trails better. With perspective, you can be more creative and less serious about mountain biking. You can laugh more and generally be more creative.

Yo! Welcome to the upgraded RAW VLOG now recorded on the Hero 8 Black. Noice! Today we discuss the benefits of living in Southern California, I ask who is Monk Dawg, and I talk about the ways we are bad to people starting to get into mountain biking. How are we such jerks?! 😂
