If a trail trashes your bike, it's showing the trail respect to leave a piece of your bike as it's souvenir of superiority over you as a rider.... In Canada there's a trail so hard it's called Museum Pieces, for that very reason.

Way way more protected in the Gaerne. The Sidi boot flexes too far in the ankle hence your Achilles injury. The quality of Sidis has tanked since they moved production to Romania. I have 2 pairs of Italian made Sidis and they are great quality boots just not protective for enduro riding. Gaerne SG 22 goretex are the best boot you can get period.

Thanks for sharing these, really appreciate to somewhat have an idea of what I may be getting into. Wondering if it's a bad idea to do these trails solo. I'm not a beginner but also not that used to long single track trails (mostly due to fitness lol) Hope I catch you guys in one of these rides, I just got a new 501 and am planning a few rides around this area in a couple of weeks. Cheers
@dagsterblaster49733 ай бұрын
Lack of experience, not in the best of shape, solo.... pretty good recipe for trouble. I suggest you find a group of guys to ride with and learn from. If you go on a weekend to many of these places you'll find a number of folks on the trails that may let you join them for a ride. At least if you ride during a busy day, should you get in trouble you'd at least have people to rescue you. Riding off road solo, above pay grade, at night, bad weather, while injured...all things I've done and while not every time ends in trouble, it ofeen has and I have the memories and injuries to remember those rides by. I've also helped people that were injured or in serious risk of injury.

Translation of the sample at 6:34 "I want to adress those who will make it past the blasting operation: Hold the position to the very last moment You know what it is all about Tyrol - your homeland" Guess this is a reference to the battle at Col di Lana, where Austro-Hungarian troops (Tyrolean Kaiserjägers) held the position on then mountains summit untill the Italian forces managed to blast the whole summit from underneath. The Austro-Hungarian troops knew that this moment will come since they were aware of the Italian explosive tunnel but were not able to destroy it. These guys where badass to the bone. I served in their successor military unit and it was just jaw dropping to see how and where they lived and build up their positions during the war.
