Fun Downhill at Santiago!

That's it! Everybody go to your rooms and don't come out until you have something nice to say!

 

STR will have a lot less traffic then. LOL

 

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

 

I think he rode those trails really well. Much better than I did..much better skills than me for sure. I think when we ride we will make mistakes at times and i think the OP is aware of it now. I know im learning every time i go out and have been lucky enough to have ridden with really cool and helpful people..teaching me about trail etiquette and what not. On my Santiago Oaks ride, we were climbing and some older gentleman was coming down and actually yelled at fueledbyex8 saying "HeadsUp" instead of giving us the right of way. My first reaction was "what an ass" but the more i thought of it, the more i realized that MTBing is different for all of us..some are there for the descents, some for fitness, some just to hang with friends, some just to have a good time. It was clear to me the OP was just having a good time, although may not have been the best choices in etiquette, making him aware is all we can do and hopefully he learns from it. We all hate to have something like awesome trails get taken away from us and that is understandable, but i think, like me, we continue to learn and im grateful that the members here have been patient enough to teach me the ins and outs. With that being said, see you guys on the trails in a few days when they are all dried and PERFECT to ride on!

 

Nice. I was a newbie at one time and had no idea of the rules. Its like anything, the more ya do, the more ya know.

 

Here is the Vid incase you all missed it.

I'm pretty impressed by her braking skills. I doubt I could stop myself quite that quickly safely and in control. She just goes from 7mph to zero in a skidding stop. Until that a-hole speared her and nearly shattered her femur

 

i <3 chong lol:

 

Thanks, I linked the video with my phone and didn't know how to embed it.

 

I agree. I only Strava well know spots which are readily available to any biker. I have ridden of the beaten spots and never record anything in respect to locals and nature alike.

 

Unfortunately, it looks like this sweet talking firecracker went the way of "Disco"
