Your link for the Hayes Brakes promo code is to Competitive Cyclist, and Competitive Cyclist says that code is no good. A nice rep at Competitive Cyclist directed me to the Hayes website, where the promo code does work.

Damn, when we built our trail I don't think Remy riding it one day crossed our minds lol

Pro Tip for the ticks (I ride in heavily tick-infested Northeast USA): • 32oz spray bottle • 1/3 pure tea tree oil (12-16oz) • 1 oz peppermint oil • Fill rest with water ..... I spray before every ride, and if I have that on, NO TICKS, 100% success rate. Safe and healthy, no deet needed. 👍

The first time riding that trail at 15:42. I was riding it blind and I went too fast off the first root, landed hard compression in the middle and it booted me all the way to the bottom. Stayed on the bike and knocked the wind out of myself when I landed. Rested at the bottom for a while before I kept riding haha.

​@@harveycasey1900 Trails here don't handle the rain nearly as well as the PNW, different soil composition. The steeps in the video do ok, but since all these trails are illegal, there isn't as much armoring on sections that do turn into bogs in the rain. Very healthy amount of rain this season - at least it lessens the chance of everything completely burning down in late summer/fall.

@ShapeThings the soil in that area does look really loose & I can imagine when it gets saturated from extra amounts of rain, it'll get really boggy. Plus, I didn't want to ride them trails blind & in very wet conditions. No telling where them snipper roots can be hiding. I could come around a blind corner or off a drop & then the next thing POW! I'm taking a dirt nap. I'm very comfortable riding the trails around here in the wet because I know where the snipers are hiding. Actually, it's been raining here for the past few days with more on the way😩

It can be hard to relate to some of the riding you do, but picking the wrong line and having to stop is all too familiar. 😄

I’m sure it was explained to you that these trials are not legally opened or sanctioned. Maybe you can help create some interest in making them so ? The reason these trails are hard to work on is because they are illegal and very few people are able to maintain them legally. You as an advocate of the mountain bike community have an obligation to so no when it comes to riding them despite the thousands of people that came before you.
