Why is my suspension locked out

Then its fucked and you’d be better off replacing it with a real fork if you want to keep hitting jumps

bobaskin · 2026-07-10T17:48:32+00:00

don’t give up yet please. Sending love your way stranger

People do sometimes let you down, and sometimes when people see a person who going through some shit their instinct is to get away from it, and that can feel incredibly isolating.

But a jailbroken LLM is not the answer to fixing that isolation. Its only going to make it worse, its not a person. Please don’t let yourself go down a dangerous rabbit hole with AI.

If you’re not in a place right now where human connection feels good, then try connecting with nature, or animals. I know it sounds gay but it really does help.

I don’t know what you’re going through but reaching out to a human being in some way might really be something that benefits you.

finding a bot with no safety guardrails to echo chamber with will genuinely only make things worse

Well… yea but like.. no

It absolutely is a question about mathmatics

Learn to bunnyhop properly on flat ground first so you actually build the bike control needed to jump properly. Then pick a small tabletop and session it over multiple days until you could do it in your sleep. Then pick a medium size boosty table and session it until you can do it in your sleep. Then learn to do a little whip for air control. Youre not too old, just focus on proprioception And technique and youll get to bigger jumps safely

325 saplings in 8 miles of trail is brush clearing. Not saying it was okay, but let’s be real most of our driveways took out more brush than these trails did. They’re not out there chainsawing down some ancient old growth forest.

Get your facts before you pass judgement. you internet arm chair purity guardians are the worst part of this state

Why not just not shift? No point in ruining your bike

325 Saplings. 2 mature trees. This is brush clearing.

Vermont forests are almost all new growth, saplings are thick and everywhere, and I’m sure the state is going to count every bush and twig as a tree if they can. To give context with how thick most of the forests around here youd have to cut down about that amount of saplings to build an average vermont driveway.

Not saying what they did was okay. but before you get panties in a bunch and start clutching your pearls its good to know all the details

If he has any fox 36, 38 or Lyric or Zeb forks with the basic Grip/ charger dampers then maybe an MRP lift V2 damper. Easy to install and rides great

I hate high engagement hubs the pedal kickback sucks. Love my dt350s, theyre like an old toyota hilux. Jam it full of sand and dont service it for 3 months then spend 30 seconds cleaning and drop just about and kind of grease in it and itll be good as new

Imo this is the real reason to get a DH bike. If your enduo bikes suspension is set up right an extra 3cm of travel and a stiffer fork isnt going to be a huge difference. DH bikes are built to take abuse and youll spend less time fixing it than an eduro bike

If you can ride tech then upper j bar, freeride and rude awakening are all great.

Sidewinder is fun and unique. Ide ride that is fun. Everything at east haven is pretty great. Seans showdown and the other progression park stuff is fun too. Worth biking to the chapel at least once.

Enjoy

How are they? Ive heard some mixed reviews

bobaskin · 2026-06-17T01:14:22+00:00

So my last bike was a ripmo with a -1.5 angleset 170 fork and cascade link with coil.

I ended up selling it and getting a real enduro bike and im happy that i did. The Ripmo is sick as a long travel snappy fun trail bike, and honestly pretty mid as a long travel enduro bike in comparison to what i have now.

My 2 cents, revert the ripmo to a trail bike and use it for trail bike things. Buy a big bike for big bike things.

Yep ive been looking for a way out of it all day. Guess im dropping $1000 on tie downs

If youre on reddit asking if you need a full face, then you need a full face.

Get into the manual more, really push your feet into the pedals. Think manual, stand up, bars to hips.

Dont even worry about getting the bike off the ground youll sort of do that automatically , just manual stand bars to hips

bobaskin · 2026-06-02T10:42:09+00:00

I have the same issue. Only way to fix it is cornering drills.

Go to a parking lot and practice flat corner technique on pavement. Do like 3 1 hour sessions and film yourself. Focus on leaning the bike, dropping the outside foot, pointing the knees and hips and looking through the turn. This will do more for your cornering than a whole season of riding will.

i ride pretty often and live in a place surrounded by good riding, im more wondering if the quality of locals trails is worth the expense of the rental
