You honestly look like you been riding at least a year or two now! Your progression is amazing, and I really think that getting a mullet enduro bike is definitely the play for your riding!! The slack of an enduro bike is a lot more pushed out then steep which makes it so much fun to hit drops and you know your able to because of the geometry of the bike!! Awesome video!! Hope to ride with you one day!🔥

When you hoot and holler during your runs, it shows you are having so much fun and it makes me think of the line "If someone had a revelation, passed some legislation, made it so elation is an obligation on every occasion, that'd be pretty dope".

Great stuff. I ski and I race dh mtn bikes. They compliment each other very well. You have to have good vision, read the terrain, and confidence helps. On the mountain bike think heavy feet light hands. Stand on the pedals don't put all your body weight on the handlebar. Grip the bar firmly but don't put all your weight on the handlebar. Drop your heels. Stand on those pedals. Keep your elbows out and your head up. Progress slowly, don't get broken off before the ski season starts.

thanks so much man! super helpful stuff. theres so much crossover with skiing and especially with the car racing that i do. another way to enjoy the mountains and make some videos in the offseason!

Dropping back in to the comments to tell you that you inspired me yesterday. Rode the Copper Harbor Trail System in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Stuck the biggest features of my life and it was probably the best day I've ever on my bike. Keep those MTB videos coming man. I am excited to see your cinematography skills in the biking world. Thanks again!

Great video. Now I am going to have to fly out and do some Mt biking !! We have a sweet downhill park but you have to pedal up. They do rent e-bikes though. Last year I got the Trek fuel 8 ex and I love it !! As I progress next year I am adding to the Just released Trek Slash 8 series. Getting the Entry level Trek 9 actually. That will be for mainly downhill at the parks. I would seriously check that bike out if you can. It’s a legit game changer and shaping up to be one of the baddest enduro bikes you can get! Killer review so far.

@JHamsher98 11 ай бұрын

Insane progression!! That first spot on T&S that you bailed on was a good move. If you send that inside drop with any speed you blow the corner and crash. Has gotten most of the people I ride with. You're also spot on with the awkward root line. You need to set up way outside and dive in. Super techy!!

@JHamsher98 11 ай бұрын

Also Nomad would be a really awesome bike for you. I got one this year and it's everything I've wanted my old bikes to be. Santa Cruz is an awesome company!

@LucasCatania17 11 ай бұрын

thanks dude! wanted to send that drop but just didnt feel right. and man that makes sense but seems a little sketchy having to cross those roots kinda sideways haha and yeah dude! the nomad seems like a good move based on what i think ill ride. bummer its so expensive though haha

@alex_rogan 4 ай бұрын

Just at that bridge drop: those guys should not have been lingering on the trail so slowly where they were. Not sure about in the US but in Australia we shout “rider” when we are approaching people on the trail, stopped on the side, or even catching up on someone. Hope that helps.

@dperrineucsb 10 ай бұрын

On that tight turn, I would start out wide, then aim for the inside of the turn on the way down, then try and swing that rear tire out a little bit when it's in the air.

Lucas I'd always encourage a rookie to try hardtails. They are best for learning and developing skills, not to mention they are way more fun because you are one with the trail

@LucasCatania17 11 ай бұрын

Good idea man! I’ll have to look into one!

@ark530abe 11 ай бұрын

But hes riding bike park which warrants a full suspension

@AJ_Owens 11 ай бұрын

@ark530abe it's all in the rider not the bike. A more aggressive bike won't help anyone learn if they can't learn the foundation or the "why" which is what hardtails are extremely good at. They force you to improve your line choice or not to case a jump otherwise there's actually consequence. I rip my hardtail at northstar bikepark once or twice a season. It's a blast.

Not a mountain biker, but if you look at the tracks from other riders, they hug super close to the tree trunk and take the inside line for that instead of going wide.

@LucasCatania17 11 ай бұрын

yeah youre exactly right! someone was showing me the line for that and thats what it is - which makes sense. just a traditional racing line really but its sketchy having to traverse the roots down at an angle haha

damn, at 9:54 people stopping just after that bridge is worse than people who sit just on the crest of a hill, at least on the ski slopes you usually have a lot of room to turn and avoid, these mt bike traisl are narrow.
