Thanks bud. 😀 You’re right with the shift in mental state. I don’t think I was consciously aware of this at the time but looking back, it made a positive difference to my riding for three rest of the day! Just goes to show it’s all in the head! 🤣

Yoooo thats sick!! Really helpful for my confidence to know that im not the only one afraid of sending gaps

Thanks dude 🤘this is why I’m posting to my channel. There’s so many expert and pro riders floating effortlessly over jumps and gaps. For me they’re still scary! So I want to show what an average old guy can do in the hope it’ll be relevant to others. This is actually so well built it’s easy and massively confidence inspiring. If you can clear the ac/dc jumps, you’ve got this 100% 🤘🤘

@@Ordinary-Dad-MTB getting into it v late (mid 50s) my head is in some ways my biggest obstacle (and technique and fitness) so I fully understand. There’s so much stuff that is pure shredding that it’s nice to see mortals at work:) awsome job you did though, I can barely gap a couple of feet. Cheers !!

⁠@@mattd2129thank you for the kind words. This is exactly why I continue to upload my very average riding escapades! Like you say, there’s so many shredders on KZread which is great and really impressive, but it doesn’t help me get an understanding of whether I could ride the trail/feature etc. I’m 51 now and still learning all the time.. just takes a bit longer to convince myself to send! 😂 Keep on shredding bud and stay safe 👍👍

Nice. I need to do more jumps. Nothing local near me unfortunately so it’s a big day out. I like your dad style approach 😎✌🏻

It took Kara Beal 6 years to be able to do this line so it shows it’s all in the mind, also I saw a kid about 13 do this line easy so I think it’s definitely a fear factor, you did good 👍🏾

Thank you 🙏. Yeah 100% agree it’s the fear factor. I think the first 6 months or so of learning to jump, all those sketchy moments.. they stick in the mind long afterwards. Getting this one was a big confidence booster. I feel better knowing Kara took 6 years! She shreds on the jumps 👍🤘

Congrats on getting all of them 🤘Thanks for the tips! I found the corners are tricky to carry enough speed, had to put a few pedals in before the third jump. Did you take a high line then pump down as you come out?

@888-mtb No probs, the vid is on my channel. So I go easy over the first two, keeping to the right for the berm going fairly high. Then to the left on the gap before the berm, again going high ish. Couple of pedals to clean the next gap then you're good for the Booter 😃 It took me quite a while to be honest. Cased the big one first few times before I got the flow.
