Great message at the end about everyone being at their own level and making their own progressions !!!

@stevenjam7119 4 года назад

Its honestly why i love mtb, got into a year ago and everyone so chill and as long as your riding everyone is happy. The motocross community is bunch if stuck up douches who wont help u if ur not their level, same as hockey. Mtb just ur own game

@Alpha0ne 4 года назад

I’ve never heard it that way before but still so true

@Shralps 4 года назад

This is what my father Inlaw can't get into his head. He really wants to be as quick as us and hit things we do. (he's mid 60's...) He hates we have to wait for him but everytime we say we don't care. We're all out riding together. That's what counts.

@BikingwithJP 4 года назад

Love your message at the end, I feel like the entire biking community is very supportive of everyone's progression! That road gap was sick - way to level up :) I recently hit my own biggest drop jump about chest height recently and I've been amp'd for weeks - it feels good to level up haha.

@streetpigeonmtb 4 года назад

Love this. Really inspiring! I love seeing people face their fears and progress. I started riding again at 35 and have loved the personal progression. Your comments at the end are perfect 👌

@Justin32510 4 года назад

Great message at the end! That's the problem with social media nowadays. Everyone thinks that since they can't do what someone else is doing, then they aren't good enough. Everybody is different and everybody is at a different level! What you can do at a personal level is still f***ing awesome!

@TheLoamRanger 4 года назад

Bingo. Ride for yourself and support other people’s stoke!

@dalmironoseda35 4 года назад

Really great message at the end, and congratulations for conquering fears

@TheLoamRanger 4 года назад

Thanks!

@fillfreakin2245 4 года назад

@ Loam Ranger: Yep, it was this time around that was the right time. You'd seen it before and didn't do it, but it looked like this time you saw yourself doing it. You knew the speed you wanted to hit it at, you felt it had a good landing, and you were comfortable without a tow in. Like you said, you have to push yourself, but still within your comfort/skill zone. Well done. The speed was perfect. I had a moment there where I thought you were a bit short and were going to case, but you just cleared it, and got into the landing zone.

@bigslacker666 4 года назад

So awesome to hit something you've been staring at for a while, congrats!

@dannykyle738 4 года назад

Good message at the end, I don't mountain bike but I did alot of bmx as a kid and now I do motocross. It's very important to not ride above your skill level. Whenever I am thinking of trying something new I try to keep it simple. I take a few run ups and ask myself if I can do it. If the answer is a solid yes, I do it right then. I don't know if this applies to mountain biking, but in motocross you have to commit long before you reach a jump or any other obstacle. Half commitments get you hurt. Alot of times people over think it. If your body and skill level are capable, send it! Most people will never experience that feeling of being terrified to try something then doing it. But it's something that almost all action sports can relate to.

@TheLoamRanger 4 года назад

Absolutely! I 100% agree and think it directly translates to MTB. Cheers man

@matthewvale4545 4 года назад

Your riding progression lately has been insane! Nice work.

@Meatparadise_ 4 года назад

Thanks for the message at the end. I was watching this kicking myself for not getting right into MTB over 10 years ago and I could be much further along. You smoothed that out. Thanks for being genuine and sharing some chilled content.

@4freedom3per 4 года назад

I got back into MTB since 15yrs ago and I'm 57!! Thanks to youtube MTB vids I'm running on second wind and doing way better than I've ever have!!! Just get out and do it!

@Kevin-ex2yb 4 года назад

Love seeing the progression. Helps keep me motivated to keep pushing. Keep up the great work.

@reverentalexanderchezeley-6367 Год назад

Thanks loam ranger mate, cos of you in two weeks I've progressed from nothing to, coming fast down the trails, popping the mtb on small and quite big jumps. Including very high table tops. I've mastered steeps at a quick pace, how to stand up vertically and push the handoebars into the ramp. How to land a bike safely, how to jump off flat ramps with no lip. How to take burms fast and correctly, normal corners also. Go fast without fear downhill, when to attack the breaks etc, how to drop the bike correctly to off a flat three foot drop. How to approach jumps at the right speed etc. So has my girlfriend to. All within two weeks. So thanks for your incredible videos and your help. Blessings.

@MrTonka 4 года назад

Sick rolling in without a tow!! Good job on figuring out the speed!

@TheLoamRanger 4 года назад

Thanks Sir Tonka!

@andrewgreenwood8727 4 года назад

Classy piece at the climax of the video, about personal goals it's all about progression & having a ton of fun ! Nice one 👌 good job on the road gap 👍

@XSProgression 4 года назад

Ayy congrats on hitting that drop! Love the part you said “it’s just your body waking up” hahah that feeling is such a wild feeling, but the one even better is after you actually complete the thing giving you jitters in the first place! Awesome stuff man

@FlowConsciously 4 года назад

"everyone is on their on path, in mountain biking" --- It's so wonderful how EVERYTHING is a microcosm of LIFE! Loved this message - the sooner we can recognize, we all, and APPLY this 'ideal' perspective, the better. The ideal perspective being - we are all on our own journey, our own path - and they are supposed to be different! Accept and appreciate and try to see the value in 'their' journey, and your own! :-)

@silkbomb669 4 года назад

Very well said at the end of the video, Everyone at there own level .All RU-vid should say this at the end of there video. Kudos to you my friend ! Thank you for trying to keep everyone SAFE !

@AndreLaurentMTB 4 года назад

At the end, that's one of the best opinions I have heard in a long time. We're all riding at our own levels. Have fun, enjoy your mountain biking in a way that makes you happy. Keep up the great work! Stress less, ride more. Be good, do better!

@randallroberts5310 4 года назад

"We better do that again....right away" I love it...way to own the feature... I don't know if I hope to progress to hitting road gaps....but who knows.....I have a long way to go.... progression is rad!!!!

@mtbcrasher2703 4 года назад

It makes such a difference being able to repeat something scary right away....Or concurring something that beat you...Great job!

@reddawn1487 4 года назад

Nah you will get there before ya know it , jumping , bike skills take time to develop but drops are 60 percent speed and 40 percent balls , that is a sweet fun looking little gap . Hitting that would make for some good feelings

@markRUshredding 4 года назад

Swansea is where some of my fave trails are. I have climbed that road many times and it’s steep. Passed by the road gap many times but never had any thoughts of hitting it. Stoked to see you hit it and for your progression. Nicely done.

@TheLoamRanger 4 года назад

It’s a great riding zone!

@ittybittyshoeshine 4 года назад

@jimothyMTB 4 года назад

Really love you seeing progress over the years. Great message at the end as well, very true, we are all progressing at different levels - or not at all and just riding. As long as ppl are getting out and experiencing the great outdoors through MTB'ing.

@jimbo4203 4 года назад

Skipped the whole 27.5 thing, went straight from 26 to 29r. Been riding it for 5 years, and love it. Just got a leftover 27.5 and its killer too

@TheRadar2819 4 года назад

I am still learning my progression. I have been mtb a while now but this year is the first time for a full suspension (2020 Transition Sentinel). My local trails is, just that trail riding. Then I found out about Little Switzerland bike park. I have never hit jumps before that day I went there and still never hit a drop. I think my progression should be to stop thinking my bike is more capable than I am. No one I ride with even wants to jump or do the drops so by myself its taking me some time. Thank you for all your helpful insight.

@TheLoamRanger 4 года назад

One step at a time! Sounds like you’ve got a great spot to learn new skills.

@christieclaypool7667 4 года назад

Very good disclaimer there at the end. It's always good for people to ride at their level and to feel good about that. 😊👍

@arenjanian8295 4 года назад

Great opening music. Seeing you and the other @Ibis -sponsored RU-vidrs inspired me to get one of my own back in January. Before COVID my wife and I came out to the Republic of Georgia to volunteer and my Ibis HD got stuck for the past 6 months in-transit when the borders closed. Watching you rip that Franken-monster is bittersweet as I wait for mine.

@brianpeck3667 4 года назад

Dude! First time watcher... that road gap drop was AWESOME!!! The shot from the road as you hurled thru the air like an eagle.... SICK!

@TheLoamRanger 4 года назад

Thanks Brian! It was a fun one.

@nickmcdvtt 3 года назад

I remember hitting my first road gap at Black Rock down here in Oregon. It’s a huge mind game. So much fun though! I’d love to see the rest of that trail! The double after the road gap looked super flowy!

@thelongestnameinthecomment9677 4 года назад

I hit my first road gap about 3 weeks ago, it's pretty cool!! Jumping across a road is just different

@outerculture 4 года назад

I really like your last comment on progression. so important to reiterate!

@dillydean 4 года назад

fond memories of that place. we got there thinking we could ride up to the top easy enough. nope! pushed our bikes for 2 hours in the rain to the top top and then got a slow flat on the way down. the mrs was crying at the start thinking she couldnt do it. after we got down a bit she warmed up and got into it! what a day that was. i remember seeing that gap and thinking yeah na =D haha epic trails there. would recommend shuttling it.

@TheLoamRanger 4 года назад

It’s a big push to the top, that’s for sure! Glad you ended up having some fun.

Big fan of your channel. Please correct me if I am misinformed but my understanding is that Alberta is still in stage 2 of its relaunch strategy and states that “non-essential travel outside the province is not recommended - this won't be lifted until stage 3 of the relaunch strategy”.
