@@Jamesyshreds how was the Slash vs the GT Fury?

@Jamesyshreds Жыл бұрын

@@corismsyn I can't honestly give a fair comparison because I only rode the Fury for one lap and my slash is fully set up for me but I'll give it a go. The Fury is super capable, it felt balanced and never lost grip when I pushed it. The Slash is a hard one. I bought it 3 months ago and I'm still getting to know it. It's the perfect 'point and shoot' machine, if you want to descend fast then that's the bike for you. I'm more of a poppy rider and like to throw my bike around with ease. The big wagon wheel 29ers are not exactly ideal for that. It has grip for days and it peddles like a trail bike up hills. I'm still figuring out the finer details as I've blown up my shock twice because of bad manufacturing on the super deluxe.

I've had worse low speed slams then most of my high speed crashes. Low speed you get thrown down high speed you have more chance to roll out.

@NoUse4aName. Жыл бұрын

It's not just how fast you fall, but how you fall and what you are falling on, that determines the risk. Going fast on hard dirt track is much easier to navigate than going mid speed on stone/root areas. Slow tech falls are hard on joints, but big jumps have a higher risk of breaking something when things do go wrong.

Makes you appreciate some of these guys we watch on KZfaq ... That little rock jump before the rock jump on Dirt Merch looks pretty tame on GoPro, but in person it's insane. And those little chutes you see, not only are they steep but they're so high up. Crabapple is the craziest though IMO... Only other time I refused to try a jump was Ft Hill at Thunder in Mass. Humbling is the perfect word!! Edit: Oh and Banana Peel at Trestle. That was a few years ago soon after it opened, but even still I'm not sure I'd try it.

I was 15 minutes into a my first ride with my house mate who does trail crew, only really have been in the bike park 10 days before that but progressed fast. I didn’t know how to judge my speed for a flat drop and nose dived to flat, hitting my face off the entrance of the berm basically. Bike patrol also took 45 minutes to get there because they accidentally went to the real a line rock drop at first which is on the other side of the mountain lol. Good times

Then a couple months later, I crashed front wheel first into a 17 metre step up. And guess what. I was somehow OK. My knee hurt for like 2 days, but I was unscarved.
