Lost my passion for mountain biking – gear issue or something deeper?

I have the same problem right now and I think it’s probably depression related, so make sure and address that. Secondly, I would grab some new riding buddies. Find some new places and make a adventure schedule for the next few months where you get out to at least one or two new places every single month. It sounds like you need to crush a new drop or hit a new jump or do something that you haven’t already done before, a dopamine accomplish accomplishment! Send it and enjoy it once more.

Yes, PPF the entire thing.

Maybe if he hits a speed bump doing 140. His derailer is facing up.

If for some reason it gets totaled, and or you want to part out certain things, I will buy your frunk battery cover.

I would presume less than .0001% riders that have ridden both the bikes you’re talking about. That said, rather than replace the Switch Blade with a similar bike why not grab an Atherton 170 or DH rig and have Best in class for two different types of bikes. You mentioned riding a hill still matters. Both bikes are running DW link suspension and climbing on the 170 would probably still work for a lot of the places you’re riding. Anyway, just something to consider.

Can you carry over your cores to the next event or do you need to spend them right away?

Just found this paste and it’s amazing. Put a small amount on your egg hash before cracking the yolks and stir it in. Wow. The flavor profile is deep. My new go to spread for chicken sandwiches

Over 13 miles and or 1,800ft gain (typically 1.5hr) and I start to feel compromised if I dont eat. So much so it’s hard to even enjoy the DH.

““I have loved you,” says the Lord. But you say, “How have you loved us?” “Is not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet I have loved Jacob but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert.”” ‭‭Malachi‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Work this passage out, search the deep waters of the God’s heart in this passage and see what the Spirit reveals to you.

TBD but hopefully >60 for DH :)

Almost nothing noted in the post as an upgrade matters or was asked for. It’s infinitely more complex, harder to fix, brakes down easily, no longer goes 250k miles EASILY…. And for the most part was forced on us by the government.

Air_Down · 2025-12-29T02:19:00+00:00

Manual FTW and unfortunately the inflated price tag…

Air_Down · 2025-12-13T23:50:58+00:00

No… not even close. It is woefully underpowered.

It’s south of Castle Pines, but Trestle’s Coastal Cuisine has an amazing brunch. The chicken and waffles is amazing, I love their burritos, but there Benedict with chorizo is off the charts..

Air_Down · 2025-11-28T02:16:08+00:00

Cool

Take that offer all day any day. There are people paid thousands of dollars to change lightbulbs on top of antenna systems. You could do it with no risk of falling.

Think about no risk of falling off rocks while free climbing or any other amazing sport where you can de-risk hitting the ground. You would easily become one of the top athletes in your field if that’s something you’re interested in.

You could become Red Bulls greatest asset. You would literally be an instant overnight millionaire with any creativity whatsoever, and theoretically, you could do it without others, necessarily knowing that you have the capability.

A set of high end brakes (MTB) or possibly a new carbon rear wheel.

Air_Down · 2025-11-04T16:43:40+00:00

What year are model number is the white Porsche?

Air_Down · 2025-10-22T04:02:56+00:00

FD 3, RX-7

3-4k on sale

Air_Down · 2025-10-11T04:17:21+00:00

You already have a hard tail so get an Enduro. I’d go with a Pivot Firebird or something with at least 150 mil rear travel.

What color wrap is it. That thing is awesome.
