I found the moving someone after an injury part to be a bit simply explained. If the person has a broken arm, sure move them off the trail. If someone is suspected to have more serious injuries such as a spinal cord injury, DO NOT MOVE THEM. Send someone up the trail to warn people coming down so they have time to slow down. A persons health is more important than someone's strava time

Yes never move anyone off the trail after a serious crash. You don't know what's wrong with them. Unless your a paramedic or highley trained in cpr and as a first responder. Best to redirect riders ahead and wait for the professionals to arrive. Finding out after the fact that you made the injuries worse by moving the person wont be a nice feeling. Let alone possible monitory legal actions towards you.

I've also seen/heard that if you come across an upside-down bike crossing the trail (so it looks like an 'X'), take that as a warning sign that there's been an accident up ahead. Obviously this should only be done way ahead of the accident & noticeable, and only if you don't have a person that could be up ahead warning others... like if you need to attend to your friend and it's only the two of you.

I feel that again is a bit overly simplified. Check for loss of consciousness, CPR, recovery position and moving away from a dangerous spot, if necessary, take priority over everything else, including not moving the patient. Best is, to just take a first aid course now and again, especially if you are regularly going to bike parks etc.

I always check on anyone who's stopped even if they look fine. Also always have a first aid kit. Considering my first real biking experience my friend sent a 5 foot drop, went OTB, and got a concussion, I've always been extra prepared.

People who litter are just fools. You can ask them nicely no to littler or do it angrily. They still do it. They figure someone else will clean up their mess or they just don't care if the mess stays there and gets worse and worse. I clean up trails at my local spots and sometimes the litter bugs see me cleaning up their junk and when I come back the next day it's all there again. Keep in mind these aren't other mountain bikes, mainly teenagers and street people hanging in the woods, but it's still BS.

Thanks Seth for talking about trail conditions and skidding. I’m a trail builder so I’ll reiterate the idea of “Don’t ride when it’s muddy” and “Don’t go skidding and ripping up the trails.” It’s hard and time consuming to repair trails that have been torn up from poor etiquette.

I think I would recommend getting the best hardtail you can reasonably afford that you're comfortable on, maybe even some slightly wider tires like 2.4 inches. Just something that can handle almost everything you throw at it. Just my opinion. I forgot to mention, if you can afford a reasonably nice, fairly lightweight full suspension go for it, your bones will thank you.

a guide once told me that for newer riders it’s not the attack position, its the ready position. he explained that being ‘ready’ prepares you for what could be round the next berm - whereas ‘attack’ gives off the characteristics of aggression and not thinking logically about what you can actually safely pull off, and what will send you into the bushes! stay safe peeps

Shared use trail etiquette: - Children: spot the bike coming and all move quickly and safely to one side of the trail. - Adults: stand in the middle of the trail yelling at your kids to get over to the other side because the dog was there when you last looked. - Dogs: attempt to lick oncoming bike.

I ride a paved trail with a line painted down the middle quite a lot. Since this is in the US, the rule is, obviously, always stay to your right. I came cruising around a blind turn one afternoon to find a man and his dog walking right in the middle of my side of the trail. I couldn't have missed him by more than half an inch. He yelled at me, of course, and told me to watch where I was going. "You're on the wrong side of the trail, you idiot!" I yelled back.

1:33 HARD disagree with you there. NEVER move an injuried person if you're unsure if it's a neck or spine injury. I don't care where they are, move ahead of the turn or trail and slow people down or stop them. DO NOT MOVE A PERSON WHO HAD A NECK OR SPINE INJURY. That is the difference between them having to do physical rehab for a year and back to normal or them being permanently paralyzed.

Hi Seth, I want to know what riders do to adjust to different trail conditions. What bike/gear preparations do you typically do for riding in wet conditions, dry conditions, and even snowy conditions? Also, how do you change your riding style in these conditions? Thanks!
This is a great video! I just bought a full suspension and I’ve learned so much. Time to put it into practice!
Hey thanks, I've been riding bikes without the rear wheel support since I was like 5 years old, got my first mountain bike now with 17, I've been wanting to drive this thing out in a real trail. The apps are a really good recommendation, I can finally see where the trails are around my location.
I find a crucial component that all of us should have while riding almost any trail (and ESPECIALLY multi-use) is a bell. Not just a manual bell, but an auto-bell like a Timber Bell. I can’t even count how many times I’ve been thanked on the trail

Seth, you talked about shifting. I’m trying to adjust my rear gears. Most videos are clear, but I’m missing one step in all of them. And that is what is the main tensions on the cable on the derailleur? How tight or loos must it be? I’ll hope to hear from you. Thanks.
@samhenderson7528
2 жыл бұрын
To get the right tension, adjust the high limit until it is perfectly lined up with the highest gear (smallest cog). Next pull out all the slack from the cable and clamp it down with the pinch bolt. (Your shifter should be in the highest gear position when you do this). Press the downshift button, which would bring you to the next gear (larger cog). If the chain does not shift into that gear, add more tension to the barrel by rotating it out. This will extend the distance the cable travels, with the same length, so there will be more tension on it. If it shifts two gears at a time, relieve tension. If this doesn’t work, be sure to check derailleur hanger alignment

@@adonisteez Things that made me learn whips in austria from pros: 1. Bump the jump less (bunny jump it less, instead absorb a bit of the altitude in favour of speed) , carve with high speed makes the movement easier, train the speed so you dont fly over the jump and land on your face (learned this the hard way) 2. Practice the same jump, do the carve harder for every attempt until you find exactly the spot (lean in more on the jump) 3. Upper body is super important, pull the handlebars back towards you and extent those hips. (dont pull into a dead sailor but pull a bit when you are learning, and extent the hips and legs, almost like a squat) 4. Bigger jump = easier whips (most cases atleast) 5. Find the right jump. Straight jumps are siiiick when you get whips down good, but when you learn try and do jumps with berms leading into them so you already carve quite a bit, this also makes the carves easier and landings more forgiving. 6. If this didnt help, then practice jumps that to crossovers, aka, a jump that goes to one direction but in the air you have to lean the other way to make the berm with speed. Goodluck mate

As a trail builder and maintainer - thanks for educating on trail etiquette!
Seth is by far my favorite MTB YT content creator. He's paved the way for many others to follow. He was the first to add narration to the videos, the first to collaborate with other YT creators, the first to tell a story. The first to DIY build everything including trails and his garage setup. He's the first to physically move for improved YT content creation. The first to buy and create an MTB Airbnb house for mountain bikers. Seth continues to improve on his storytelling to the point he could work on other professional platforms. I use to watch all the channels, Singletrack, BKXC, N Hills, JKW, and several others. I've dropped most because the content has become so repetitive. How many chest-mounted videos can one watch, or the how-to manual or wheelie, or how to build a jump or whatever...? Seth's content has over the past year has been borderline "okay". I realize the pandemic or his injury didn't help but the trend was already in place. The issue I see with most YT creators is the content is either getting SO repetitive or they're simply running out of good story ideas. This is one of those videos. I miss the old Seth, from South Florida to his first 2 years in NC.
The most helpful video I've watched. Thank you.
Really cool you covered etiquette, something I feel doesn’t get talked about enough for beginners
Ive been riding for 4 ish years and this was the most entertaining video lol
First time on a trail today for me. First big decent and I went straight over the bars because I used the brakes in the same way I do on my motorbike. Now I have a cool tyre tread mark on the back of my helmet.
This was a good one thanks! Had no idea about riding through a puddle! I'm newish but want to get more serious. I would say another one not mentioned is clogging the trailhead with your bros! I ride solo a lot of the time and it sometimes sucks parading past a bunch of people in the way of the trailhead.
Seth I love the vids you inspired me to ride now I’m doing big jumps keep the good work up
New to mountain biking and this video definitely helped out
Thanks for making this Seth! I've been turned off mountain biking due to the community in Cali not understanding etiquette- plowing over hikers, destroying sensitive trails because they didn't understand the difference between "wet" and "hero dirt", and totally ignoring "no bikes" signs next to wildlife preserves and wetlands leading to destroying 3 of 4 nests along the entire West Coast critical for migratory birds.

Thanks seth. Love your videos
Getting to know the trails as much as knowing how to ride your bike responds to all conditions is just as important. I got the great idea to see how fast I could brake on an open section by myself as it was last lap and I had to be somewhere after. Never rode the trail and assumed there would be turning signs coming up, big mistake. Couldn't brake in time and out of all the days I needed my jetpack, I left it at home, figures.
This series is great!

I am a BRAND NEW rider. Love the sport and thank you so much for vids 😂
In your latest MTB 101 video…..The ‘moving off the trail’ should apply on any trail, not just bike parks! Thanks for putting that one in your video!
The first time I really got to a Trail y used Trailforks it’s really a great tip before going to a trail.
As an intermediate mountain biker I still keep watching these videos over and over they are just so enjoy able
I love the sneak peaks of berm park!!
