To anyone considering taking up moto because you get too tired riding, do not be deceived by the engine! Riding like you see in any of these videos is extremely physically intensive. Motos weigh around 200 pounds, 5x the size of DH bikes, and it takes that much more effort to maneuver them around! The handling skills transfer well, and stuff that seemed big isn't quite as intimidating once you've adjusted to MX scales.

I think there's lots of crossover athletes between mtb and moto. The vibe of the two sports is a bit different, but I think they have the same soul to them. Its all just fun on two wheels!

"The situation certainly isn't PB's fault, but quoting US prices doesn't help anybody." To all Canadians, but in particular the residents of the lower mainland, as a resident of Bellingham, WA I am very grateful to see you coming south every weekend and supporting our businesses. Thank you for all you add to our community! Kootenay, you mention costs associated with import taxes, etc. Vancouver certainly has the infrastructure to handle direct shipping from overseas, perhaps your efforts would be better spent rallying other business owners to modify your tax code or distributor network to better compete with American prices than complaining about Mike spreading factual information.

I suggest email. Most professors are on campus during student vacations. And if you're really anxious to talk to someone, talk to one of their grad students. They never leave, lol.

why are you yelling? is the hearing starting to go?

Just pause 1 or 2 seconds before the end of the vid -> no unskippable ads

That last flip was gnarly, nice riding!

Extra emphasis on being mentally and physically prepared to ride. Don't ride while impaired, you're just setting yourself up for an accident. I haven't ridden a bike in over 3 months, after drunkenly deciding it would be cool to do a little manual, looping out, and tearing both my ACL and MCL. It wasn't worth it at all, and now I've got to spend at least 6 months off the bike while I heal. And the ski season? over before it even started. If you're feeling off or aren't paying attention, don't force it. You'll only regret it later.

I rode there all through college, I am so pumped to see how much work has been done, I'll have to stop by and see the new lines some day.
