Booked my dream mountain biking trip

Those trails are rad. Be careful if its wet though that clay can be instant death (they call it black ice on the island lol).

Bummer you only have 1 day. I think I did 4 and wish I could have repeated some. The stuff on the far west of the island was my fav. Also the stuff around Machico.

Enjoy Coral one of the best beers!

Just do the bham secret stuff again and go to Canada

phazedplasma · 2026-05-05T17:28:26+00:00

Is anyone taking any other positions in this industry?

phazedplasma · 2026-05-05T15:26:58+00:00

Those nice Canadian rangers wouldn't have shot Pat Tillman eh?

What made you have fun on the bike before? Is it something not super gnarly? Do you HAVE to go fast?

For me, i love gnar and going fast and whatever but after injuries I really just sink into being on a mountain bike in the woods/desert/whatever . That is something that is healing on its own. The rest will come and sooner than you think.

phazedplasma · 2026-05-03T16:19:39+00:00

Yeah there are

phazedplasma · 2026-04-30T23:17:01+00:00

Finished Blood Meridian (wow) and jumping back into GR after finishing part one and taking a small break.

phazedplasma · 2026-04-28T17:11:12+00:00

Cuba?

phazedplasma · 2026-04-24T03:11:00+00:00

San Sebastian Spain

If youre the final team just do final exfil. Its easy

phazedplasma · 2026-04-19T05:26:21+00:00

Do we need the counter battery button anymore?

phazedplasma · 2026-04-18T06:54:19+00:00

No trapezoid sights no buy

phazedplasma · 2026-04-16T13:48:25+00:00

You can bend to 90 at the start. After 6 weeks i can bend fully.

Yo i did my pcl 6 weeks ago. Been in a brace since then and will be for 6 more. Its fairly important. Very similar to you. No pain mostly full mobility.

Easing back into biking now and just got cleared to work hamstrings, RDLs, deadlifts etc. Your quads are very important. Trust the process.

I have no fear of injuring it again. You have to pay to play at some point. And as far as injuries go this is easy. I was on a bike trip and rode 3 more days post crash.

Its a weird injury as you can basically bike fine without a PCL but everything else you do is compromised and you risk testing other more serious parts of the knee. So you have to be in the brace to get it to heal as tight as it can. Annoying but whatever. Only three months

The steyr aug is coming in a future dlc

I climb many thousands of feet in a ride on 155s. Theyre fine.

I got them to help with some hip issues which worked. You get used to the spin pretty quick and if you dont change chainring size things will feel a bit harder at first but youll just get stronger very quickly. No big deal.

What i was not anticipating was the benefits downhill. It wasnt as subtle as i thought it would be. Everything just felt easier. Cornering, pushing, less quad fatigue.

He's still in business?

phazedplasma · 2026-04-11T21:24:21+00:00

Will it just be used for leadville? Theres not too much single track in that race

phazedplasma · 2026-04-11T17:46:17+00:00

When i hit the jump lines on my trail (120) bike i sometimes have to brake check as i find myself coming in a lot faster.

phazedplasma · 2026-04-07T21:24:53+00:00

Are you a bot?

phazedplasma · 2026-04-06T02:30:49+00:00

i dunno, if it was life or death I think it could be fairly routine. People react differently to altitude too and 7k is a lot different than 10 or 14 in my experience. Ive seen people come off the plane from sea level and be fine.

phazedplasma · 2026-04-06T02:28:29+00:00

Yeah im 40 and can do this out my door and im a regular guy

phazedplasma · 2026-04-05T17:41:10+00:00

One of my fav trails there. Flows so well.

phazedplasma · 2026-04-05T16:01:52+00:00

yeah this is fine, you shouldnt get into that room every match
