Knowing me, I’ll probably have a bash at a downhill run or try a big jump. Can you rent FF helmets when you’re out there?
Worst idea ever, if you can’t already.
Seen it so many times, the ‘trail centre riding lads on tour mentality’. Peer pressured into doing something WAY bigger than they would ever consider in the UK.
Classic was the old Chatel road gap. You can see them all congregating round it on AM bikes, eyeing it up, one squids his way over it and somehow stays on, mostly down to blind luck & then the lemmings all follow, doing their best dead sailor impressions.
Normally one is seen being carried down the mountain, strapped onto a spine board a little later.
Still, it used to provide some light entertainment on the slowest lift there, watching all the casing, nose bonking & ball riding, just because the testosterone is running rife.
Ride within your comfort zone, don’t think it’s a good time to try anything stupid & wear what you deem comfortable to ride in.
