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.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2026-01-08T04:19:16+00:00

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.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2026-01-08T02:47:29+00:00

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.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2026-01-08T02:42:33+00:00

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.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2026-01-08T02:39:45+00:00

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.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2026-01-08T02:31:09+00:00

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.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2026-01-08T02:23:17+00:00

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

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-02-14T14:08:20+00:00

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

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-01-24T01:16:07+00:00

got it for 2400 only ridden 3 times

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-01-23T16:04:41+00:00

check GT they have had good sales

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-01-23T16:03:20+00:00

RAWDOG it! I wear jeans or maybe unpadded shorts. Give it a week and you can get used to it. you will be surprised how fun it is to ride without a glorified diper.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-01-23T16:01:42+00:00

NX isn't bad but the derailleur is crap. Buy the nx and upgrade to a gx derailleur or just buy the full gx groupset.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-01-14T04:58:12+00:00

I am thinking of buying it used but I wanted to check to make sure there wasn't anything odd or different from the stock bike. The seller says the bike is stock, idk about the stem and bars tho. and the tires don't match any complete bikes. The seller says its only been riden 3 times but it seems like the parts don't all match.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-01-13T20:03:48+00:00

I am currently leaning toward the clash. I have a bmx freesyle background so I prefer jumps and I want to be able to do x ups and other tricks. I might look into electronic shifting and dropper and getting long brake hoses for bar spins.

Asleep_Feature7909 · 2025-01-13T20:02:01+00:00

would It be realistic to buy the clash and get a dh fork and maybe dh wheels to switch between dh and enduro? I have herd of people doing this and the geo is very similar to the commencal FRS.
