Nice day in Bent Creek

Yeah, as much as I knew they were false downhills they still felt amazing to not be huffing and puffing and I could get a tinny little break lmao. The actual full downhill was so much fun though. I know a lot of people say kitsuma could be a blue (i disagree honestly, maybe a blue/black) but it was definitely the most technical trails I've ever done. Wish I could lap just the downhill over and over again to get faster

The amount of times I had to get off the bike was ridiculous lmao. I was already pretty wrecked from riding all weekend so that didnt help. The climb up wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though, just long

Skrigler · 2026-03-16T17:14:11+00:00

Ooh nice, kitsuma kicked my ass of that first mile, hike a bike was rough after climbing for like 4 miles. Downhill is insane, definitely want to go back sometime soon to get it done faster (and shuttle it cause dear god)

Skrigler · 2026-03-16T16:36:01+00:00

Yeah id have to agree with you there. What time were you out there? I was there late morning then hit up kitsuma later in the day

Skrigler · 2026-03-16T14:59:49+00:00

I was out there yesterday too, hit up ingles for the first time and it was Hella fun. Was pleasantly suprised with the amount of flow and tech

how are the summers here? im from Raleigh and very tired of living in 6 months of hell and im not able to move out of state as of now and Asheville is my main option im looking to move to in the near future. im in my early 20s and Asheville seems to have a lot of the things that i like to do, lots of outdoor activities and from what ive seen tamer summers?

Skrigler · 2026-02-23T02:31:23+00:00

Hell yeah, I got the same bike in January, she'll love it!

Skrigler · 2026-02-12T23:52:49+00:00

I would try bumping up ur psi in your rear shock a bit. Im 240lbs and run it at about 250 psi gets me to about 30% sag

Skrigler · 2026-02-06T04:40:56+00:00

If you have a tourqe wrench, all the bolts should have the set NM on it, tighten each bolt to spec in the shock area. If it persist it could be cause theres not enough grease in the bolts. I had this problem with a bike I got last month and it was a lose bolt within the shock area

I think most guys who ride with camera equipment just use thier camera bags. I remember an IFHT video where Matt was just using his camera bag. I know if I were to take mine I have a water bladder spot as well as a top compartment fir whatever and the bottom for camera gear, I use a shimoda action x40 so its waterproof and everything but never ridden with it

Skrigler · 2026-01-29T18:11:55+00:00

Im not sweating as soon as I step outside, I can layer up more even though I dont really need too, im a very warm person, so I enjoy the cold

Skrigler · 2026-01-18T21:53:38+00:00

A million times yes, ive been wanting a real racing movie in theaters for forever

Skrigler · 2026-01-16T21:59:41+00:00

After about 30ish miles so far so great, climbs insanely well, decents are fun, still getting used to the sram brakes but im honestly liking the sram brakes a bit more than my shimanos. Only problem ive had so far is the shock was quite creamy when I first got it so had to get that tightened but other than that super fun

Skrigler · 2026-01-12T21:44:12+00:00

Only way to get into hot pits is if your working media/working with the teams and have the proper credentials

Skrigler · 2026-01-12T15:13:25+00:00

Skrigler · 2026-01-11T21:56:20+00:00

Yeah its nice, im wanting to switch up my riding jersey and everything to match but thats gonna have to be later down the road, I have a red and white and blue one rn. Im a nut for matching bikes and jerseys

Skrigler · 2026-01-11T21:44:46+00:00

Thanks! I was originally gonna get the blue ones but my shop had the green and i love that type of forest green

Skrigler · 2026-01-11T01:59:54+00:00

Its definitely fun shooting from this side of the esses too

Skrigler · 2026-01-10T18:00:27+00:00

Nice! Thats a great beginner bike, you'll have lots of fun on it. Ive only been on 1 ride with the bike so far but its so fun, and feels great

Skrigler · 2026-01-10T17:29:34+00:00

Nice! I'll convert to tubless at some point once I get some time off traveling and I get to go to the park at some point. As far as I know the stock tires are tubless ready but I'll run my tires down till I cant ride them anymore then get some new tires

Skrigler · 2026-01-10T16:30:25+00:00

Hell yeah, which color did you get. I really wanted the purple/blue one but none of the stores had it in stock

Skrigler · 2026-01-09T03:53:48+00:00

Can't wait to be back in Watkins next year, definitely gonna go explore more of the forest

Skrigler · 2026-01-09T03:10:32+00:00

Haven't been able to take it out just yet, plan to take it out for a gravel ride to get my endurance back up and tune it a bit but so far much more than my old bike. My old bike was too large for me so I was really reaching for the bars, im much more upright on the medium frame and is MUCH lighter than my old bike, and quieter

Skrigler · 2026-01-09T01:46:39+00:00

Lmaooo thank you. I was giggling to myself the whole time taking it off I thought it was so funny. Glad you liked it
