What I learned from crashing on big jumps at Whistler Bike Park

Спорт

In another video, we talked about how mountain biking can relieve stress. This is only true when you're using mountain biking as an escape-not when it's the actual CAUSE of the stress.
This week’s video takes place at Whistler Bike Park, and is a story about how your mental state can get you hurt on a mountain bike. In my case, feeling relaxed and happy makes me ride great. Feeling pressured and preoccupied to ride certain things almost always leads to injury. This is why so many people crash on their “last lap”. The park patrol medic even called it “the Witching hour”.
In this video, delays on getting footage led to preoccupation, and then to poor riding. Sound familiar?
There’s also a lesson about practice. I haven’t ridden big jumps since last summer, yet I jumped into a bigger trail than I had ever ridden after just a few days at Whistler. As someone with a history of riding poorly under pressure, this was not a smart idea.

I always am at a lack for words when explaining how practicing and consistency makes a good artist (Not some magical innate talent) without sounding bitchy and dry. I really love that quote, explains what I have been trying to say for a long while.

My quick release kit on my front wheel let go when I hit a jump, landed and my front tire had left the groove, ate dirt really hard and had a massive bruise on my chest from where my handle bars smashed into me. I ended up winding myself on my handle bars when my front wheel slipped out and getting launched, bike landed on and I just layed there sounding like a wheezing sea lion, good times

Thanks to your videos, I decided to admit ignorance and forget everything I thought I knew about manuals, hops, and jumps and start all over. I've only put 2 days of practice in at the local cycling park jump tracks. I'm still on the intermediate track but jumping and landing better than before even on these speed bumps. I'm dedicating one week to each track before moving up to the next. I very much appreciate your hop and jump videos. This one is a good capstone.

    Thanks Seth for the inspiration from this vid! Getting back on after a traumatic crash is probably the scariest feeling in the world honestly. I recently had one and have been slower on my bike ever since. This vid really inspired me to push the limits of what I once thought I was capable! Cheers mate!

    Wow. This video is incredible. I don't often audibly react, hold my breath, or cover my mouth in awe or fear when watching KZread. But I gotta say, I was guilty of all of there and more. Absolutely incredibly paced, stellar use of music and the fluctuation in your voice. Even the damn pauses were all perfectly placed to build tension. I nerd out a little bit when it comes to filming stuff, and watching someone who rides bikes for a living, it doesn't always occur to me that you do so much more behind the scenes. I really appreciate your storytelling and the anxiety and happiness I felt while watching this, I even got really stoked about stuff I wasn't even taking part in, you don't find that all wrapped up in a video too much anymore. One more thing I don't often do is leave comments. At all. But this video was the perfect exception to write to my hearts content and I'm glad I did. I hope this finds you and at least makes you smile to know you're making other people smile. Cheers Seth, please keep up the great content. I'll take quality over quantity any day 🤙
