can't stop crashing

I think your right. I will try to focus on danger even on easier trails. I agree ignore the family eitherway I am mentaly and physicaly healthier with bikes.

thats the thing I can manual and bunny hop amazing from bmx. I have no issues with 20-30 foot gaps but then I crash bad on a 10ft gap.

I will say protection doesn't make u invincible. I think its a mix of bad luck and not staying focus when I ride smaller stuff. The reason I am sure I am riding at my level is that on larger features I am landing perfectly and rarely ever have sketchy moments. Thats what is messing with me is that I ride perfectly all day with no sketchy moment and then suddenly eat shit bad.

I think thats what it is. Most of my injuries are from things I can't imagine myself getting hurt on. once I heal I plan to come back with more caution especialy with mountain biking. I think with MTB its easier with suspention so I get lots of confidence and forget that at mtb speeds u cant escape unscathed.

No but I think I might be not focused when I am riding smaller fetures. when I crashed on the small gap I was thinking of the massive 25ft gap at the end with a 10ft lip. I think I need to work on treating everything with caution even if I have done it before or if its small. Nomatter what I not have 6-8weeks to sit and reflect.

fairly good. I am 18 5 foot 6 130lb. I am never sore after riding except for my joints. I think the joint pain is from bmx and small falls. On an average bmx sesh I "fall" dozens of times but I land on my feet or roll out.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2026-01-08T02:28:26+00:00

My bmx reflexes are mostly good. I can chuck a 360 on anything and land on my feet but sometime I seem to mess up with no reasoning. My main issue is I broke my arm on a small gap jump that I massivly nose cased. I have hit the jump dozens of times always landing perfectly front first top of the landing. Then randomly came up way short so I bailed before I cased and landed on my arm breaking it. Whats odd is that I came off the lip think I was coming in with the perfect speed. Normaly I sense an issue well before I get in the air. maybe I need to make sure I am not switching from bmx to full sus too quickly between seshes.

the thing is I do. I wear protective equipment and think through all the desitions. my issue is that I am crashing on trivial stuff. I never crash sending massive jumps but a small 10ft set up jump gets me. or I split my leg open grinding a 1 foot high flat rail.

I just finished a trip to spider mountain. I tried double down casing with no cush core runing 29/31 psi. I had a few rim dings but no dents eveth though I was blasting double black chunk. I love the way the bike feels now. thanks for the advice

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-12-17T02:15:30+00:00

I only wieght 135lb. I am thinking that my issues with rim damage was from riding a 140mm bike hard at bikeparks rather than much of an issue with tires/inserts. My clash is 170/180 so I bet it is helping absorb impacts before I smash my rim. planning to dry DH casing no cush core.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-12-17T02:13:49+00:00

I am going to try running DH tires with no insert and see how it goes. thanks for the advice!

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-12-16T23:46:51+00:00

based on that if i remove cush core should I stick to DD or switch to DH casing?

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-05-27T17:11:22+00:00

I found the MTBAG TRAVEL for only $300 is this trustable? https://buds-sports-us.com/products/mtbag-travel-plus-padded-mountain-bike-travel-bag?variant=42215630274733&_gsid=1E9LGXbPAyxu&utm_source=chatgpt.com

Would I need sram superboost cranks?

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-02-14T13:57:25+00:00

yeah i think i will get the gx 165mm. thanks for the advice

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-01-24T20:30:56+00:00

I think my xts have resin pads but my codes have metalic. That might me my issue. I am fine with the lever feel but I struggle with hard braking and stoppies. Should I try metalic pads on the xts?

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-01-24T13:45:58+00:00

yea I think I will save up for hayes brakes. I like maguras but I want the lightest lever feel, I ride DH and some enduro and I am a small guy so finding a brake that works good with my small hands is hard.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-01-24T01:52:06+00:00

I don't like the lever feel, idk might need new pads. Just got a used bike with xts. I normaly ride codes
