Was going a bit too slow to make it across the whole bridge this time. But got some pretty decent manuals in today.
This wooden feature line is so much fun to ride...until you reach the downed tree before the last feature.
Few clips from my morning ride.
Tricks always look cooler as a black and white photo. Not as impressive as it looks. 😅
One hour mental health workout.
I’ve been going to the skatepark every day for an hour right before I pick up one of my kids from school since they are right next to each other. Being on a bike everyday has been so good for me mentally and physically, and I’m starting to feel progress again.

【涼風MTBダウンヒル】
お盆が過ぎれば季節は一気に秋めいてきます。
週末とはいえ繁忙期は超えてゆったりモードの安比高原。
MTBライドの基本、セーフティブレーキをマスターした後は前森山山頂へアプローチ。
テイクオフを控えたパラグライダー愛好家の皆さんと雑談した後、我々はひと足先にダウンヒルです。
トライアルレース(オートバイ)の新コースも共有させてもらいながら、アドベンチャー混じりの応用ダウンヒルはなかなかでした!
初MTBのゲストにも喜んで頂けて、またひとつフィールドスポーツのレパートリーに追加してもらえそうです。
ご参加ありがとうございました😊

One of the more technical trails in the area. Only about 8 miles, but it's littered with rocks and more complex technical features. Extra painful in the Texas summer.

Ended up doing a quick evening ride at one of the closer trails to my house and did a test record with an external mic. Sounds so much better! More bike/trail sounds and less heavy breathing. 😅 This trail has a lot of really fun features. I uploaded to Mastodon, but the size and compression makes it barely watchable so I recommend checking it out here (in 4K) if you want to see more than mushy pixelated artifacts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIzq006-g4Q

Fun little ride with a buddy this morning. Testing out a new camera placement on my helmet. Video is a 3 minute supercut of some "interesting" moments. Camera placement also reveals all the dumb sounds I apparently make while riding. 😅 I have a small wireless mic that I want to mount lower on my bike to capture the tire/trail sounds, but I have to figure out a way to secure it so it's safe and won't fall off.

Fun little video I shot while going on a paved bike ride with my youngest. He was on his Super73Kid while I was on my regular mountain bike. We ride from our house out about 4-5 miles to a big park and then back. This video is the ride back which ends up being about 4 miles. Sped up 2000x, slowed to 2x for my wheelies (I have to wheelie every bridge) and 1x for manuals because they are so cool (and much harder than wheelies). 😁
