Do you session trails, or ride the same local stuff over and over again?

Sorry to have to say this. Maybe you have thunder thighs?

Of that there's very little doubt... i'm not only a bit lardy, but also have big legs anyway.

TBH mate we don't really have 'trails' in the trails context. Hence why more often than not i'm at FoD, 417, BPW, etc of a weekend. Certainly more so at this time of the year too when the trails we do have a more a mud-fest than anything.

So do i session trails.... well kinda... if you class doing say Sixtapod 3 times in a day... But if you mean do i do small sections, go back, practice a section again etc.... Then no, not really.

If you're with someone faster could you video them riding a corner or set of corners and watch it lots of times? Re the original topic, watch where their saddle is relative to their thighs?

No reason why that's not possible

Are we sure it's definitely the saddle causing the bruising and not a #humblebrag? 😉
More supportive shorts or strapping perhaps?

Do it.

I'm up in the Tweed Valley so able to go and session very popular trails, when they're empty. Works wonders. In fact we're out tomorrow with the sole intention of sessioning some new/changed local trails.

I'm no expert, but why is your front wheel off the ground going into a tight turn with an adverse camber? Seems sub-optimal and points at rearward bias rather than pushing the front in.

Maybe its the camera angle.

Edit: oh, its your lad.
