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 currently use the 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).
Sorry for so many comments, but "why am i stopping all the time on nothing" is because you get fixated on the obstacle and have not visualized yourself clearing it with ease and control.
look where you want to go not where you don't, loosen your elbows, don't make a sound, all the noises you make are unnecessary and show a lack of understanding and control. I'm guessing you are focused more on making a dramatic effect video then actually riding your bike
It's not the trails' fault you're not prepared. You need to stretch and strengthen and adjust your "camera" more for the conditions and terrain. I watched the video, you are a very stiff rider, loosen up and flow with the terrain and you will Have a better experience.
I had a high speed jackknife about 3 weeks ago and know the feeling! I wasn't as lucky as you though...I got a punctured lung, 7 broken ribs, broken scapula, clavicle and glenoid. ER and 2 nights in hospital. Got surgery on the collarbone last week. Gonna take a long time to recover I'm afraid. Pain level is insane. 😢
Oh wow, hope you get back to full riding soon! Yeah, sounds like you got the other end of the unlucky spectrum, I admit I was very lucky (although I'm still feeling my injuries in my arm and back, but no surgeries needed). Mainly due to the spot I landed in was very soft dirt, and also because the trail was pretty sketch I was keeping my speed down a bit. Hope you full recover and back on your bike!!
@@amir_mtb My Garmin data said I was going 21mph when I crashed. Still not 100% sure if it was front wheel washout or a jackknife. It happened so fast, like one sec I'm riding and the next I'm hitting the ground. It knocked the wind out of me and I had that weird wheezing breathing thing going on. Helmet cracked and I got a contusion on my temple, but somehow avoided a concussion thankfully! 🙏
I feel that pain, my right shin recently got scaped by my pedal when landing a jump as well, and now I have bandaids all over my legs.... My knee/shin guards are on the way to me, no jumping until I put them on.
She's only counting to leave room between riders. Racers can leave once the count is down to 5 seconds (or even wait a while after the count is done) and there's a timing pole a few feet ahead that captures the accurate time
@dorlaor No. They used a proper timing system, where the reader is placed a few feet away from the starting position and reads the actual time that I pass by it. The person counting down is only making sure there's enough spacing - in theory I could ride immediately after the guy in front of me and the timing system would get it correctly.
@K1ngJame5-mtb I wish I could bring myself to ride clips! But I've only started riding them 1.5 years ago when I took up road riding for the first time. I don't feel safe with them on simple gravel routes, let alone bring myself to ride these trails clipped in.
@@FlowerWoman I did Burnside once but it was pretty unrideable so we had to get off our bikes a few times. What we enjoyed that’s similar to Burnside but rideable is Twin Pines… or Two Pines. I’ve gone down that ride several times now and still can’t confirm the name of that trail. Pacifica is in my top 3 places to ride.
No I didn't (yet) this was just a loaner. I'm testing several bikes (and will upload video impressions). The 1.2 motor feels MUCH more powerful - I don't think I need more than 25% assist level except for the steepest of climbs like climbing back up from end of K2. But there's no magic formula - the battery did drain faster when I went to those levels.
@@K1ngJame5-mtb wow those are hard decisions! BTW I just pulled the trigger on an SL bike... Soon to be advertised on the channel ;) The Mondraker looks amazingly capable and I can't believe it's under 44lbs with coil suspension! But it's very new no in-depth reviews or info so you probably should wait a bit for some unbiased inputs. The Heckler SL and KSL2 are both amazing; Heckler SL more battery but I don't trust Fazua wrt range extender - I'll believe it when I see them actually come out with one. If we bump into each other at UC we should compare notes :)
That wasn't really a crash, considering... But the reason I had to stop is I got off my original line coming down, and couldn't correct at the end to stay in the middle groove
@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...
