This thing is mental
It’s like a perpetual motion machine for pump tracks. I didn’t think the difference would be so dramatic. I can do 1 or 2 full laps on the 26″ DJ bike before I’m gassed and this thing does 4,5,6 laps with minimal effort. It’s so fast!
It was pretty sketchy today, it’s so cold and greasy. Brake is useless. The tyres means if you wander off line or try to ride across a hump at the wrong angle it just slides out. I can’t wait for a warm, dry day.
Jumps and manuals were at a minimum. I don’t have the rhythm yet on the first ride but I cleared some of the smaller stuff. No boosting and tucking yet.
I think I’m going to enjoy this thing. I want to get comfortable on the back wheel and popping jumps and hopefully I’ll graduate to Bolehills in the summer.
40 is the new 14.
