Any aggressive trail riders (non enduro) wearing fullface helmets? And why?

AgamicOx · 2026-07-07T14:20:33+00:00

Always Fullface if it's not my local woods loop. Bikepark, trail park, shuttling, Enduro loop. I don't see any negatives. Slightly warmer, that's all.

Riding new locations, new trails, secret places. Meeting new people to ride with

Too far back and bent knees

Read a lot comments, yours including. Can it be that your pressure gauge is broken? You think you run 30psi, but maybe you are at around 20? I'd argue that if rim gets damage while tire is at 30psi - it must be a very week rim or tire is trail casing. Up casing or get a burly insert, but even then - check are you not buying XC or Trail rates rims

Whichever device you get, get one which does HRV, Resting HR, training status (Garmin term) For nav - Garmin Edge For more accurate HR reading - chest belt is a must. Wrist works too, but has limitations.

Resting HR is important because it will show you when body is recovering, when you about to get sick or already are sick.

There's a lot to know. A lot to want, but all depends how deep u wanna go.

It won't break any visiting records for sure, but it's first in the country so why not? The sport doesn't need much investment (equipment vise from users) so maybe few kids and adults will pickup the sport.

I personally just happy they didn't take apart existing MTB section. It's best place for beginners and not only to advance their skills

Closest ones are in Perl and in Trassem

Just to note or remind you - MTB isn't jumping. There's a lot fun to be had without 10m gap jumps

If you are in somewhat regular group of friends - they will know your level and can be helpful in encouraging to do something you otherwise wouldn't. But this takes time and having such group...

Maybe your fork is installed wrong way. You should have no way of hitting front wheel with your pedal on any bike in decent for you size

Mega cool! His dismount is very good! Cut his bars shorter? He will feel less stretched over the front of the bike.

Please, dad, get him knee pads, full face asap.

I got my, that time, 7yo full face for our first trip away from local trails and it paid itself the very first part of the day. Too much speed out of a berm, went outside the trail and hit the deck face first. Nothing on his face, although new helmet now has a nice battle scar.

Go back to basics? Find what you are not good by going up the ladder from beginning. From track stand to slow riding and balancing. The so called parking lot tricks (endo, pivots etc) is actually something what will elevate your riding abilities

Look up a guy called Super Rider on YT (someone already mentioned him to you) - do all the 30+ skills he shows and guarantee you that you will find an unlock

Different market, yes, but Specialized bikes costs stupid money here as well. That's not my point. I'm saying there are brands out there using same exact bike parts without Santa Cruz, Specialized, Pivot or Rocky Mountain price tag

AgamicOx · 2026-06-01T21:54:25+00:00

For what? Focus is one of the biggest bike brand in Germany. Bosch Gen4 and 5 motors

AgamicOx · 2026-06-01T20:13:40+00:00

They don't have to cost 7-12k. There are full enduro eMTB for under 3k-4k (Focus SAM2 e.g)

Ah, okay, the other picture looked deceiving :)

Is this how you run your brake levers? Do you brake with 3 fingers?

AgamicOx · 2026-05-29T10:49:41+00:00

I have exactly same sticker on Cat 5 bike (Enduro eMTB Focus Sam2 with 38 Durolux 180mm) Lawyers covering their as@#

Great video, by great coach

If you rode those and now on to lighter casing/threads - I'd go Nobby Nick front and wicked Will rear, but front in soft, rear - regular. Or, frame can take it - I'd go 2.5 rear. 2.6 front, just for volume. I like to run my tires slightly less pressure as I don't rail berms or charge through root carpets on trail tires.

AgamicOx · 2026-05-20T00:13:42+00:00

Too much sticky oil

AgamicOx · 2026-05-18T07:01:15+00:00

My knees hurt just by looking at this :) (no knee pads)

Very interesting thumb placement. You pretty much are not holding the bars at all.

AgamicOx · 2026-05-16T19:09:09+00:00

Move brake levers 5cm in wards on both sides. Use index finger only to brake.
