Amir MTB - weekly videos!

Amir MTB - weekly videos!

Amir MTB is a collection of raw and edited footage from my mountain bike rides. I'm a decent rider but far from pro, so these trails and the riding should be approachable to a large audience. I don't hide my excitement of riding these amazing places! Share any questions, suggestions, or kind words in the comments.
I'll be racing the Downieville Classic 2024 this year. If you'd like to support trail stewardship in the Sierras, please follow this link: www.pledgereg.com/5020/amirh Thanks!
I currently have the GoPro Hero 9 and an Insta360 Ace Pro cameras. If you like the videos, please subscribe to get notified of new ones, and also share with your friends - whether they ride or not. I try and post several videos a week (weather permitting).

    @jaynasty7 IDK his time (I compared to his video and don't follow him on Strava) but my PR there is 1:09, he's 11 seconds faster and probably has another second if we compare from the very top. So I'm guessing he's at 0:57 seconds. BUT this was only his 2nd time ever on that trail...

    Fun trail. Need better brakes. Codes are crap on an ebike. Ditched mine for Magura MT7's with Hope rotors and Jagwire "Red" pads. All day power without a sound.

  • @amir_mtb
    @amir_mtb24 күн бұрын

    Thanks. I run Codes on my 3 bikes because I prefer a consistent feel, so it's a more involved process for me to switch. There's also no good way for me to "test drive" them unless I ride another bike - and then the entire feeling is different.

    @dorlaor it's my fast time on an e-bike (would've shaved more w/o the mud patch in minute 1), but not my fastest time ever - the Enduro is still faster on this trail. Also, to really shave 10s of seconds I'd have to skip all the jumps they slow everything down (but then Braille becomes Dull, so I never do it)

    At 56 years old this is exactly why I wear shin/knee and elbow protection every trip into the woods. A small mishap and an elbow into a tree or a knee into a rock leaving me unable to ride for weeks isn't worth it...great video!
