I like the fist bump at 0:35.

And I'm not seeing a lot of protection there, except for the skull, which is smrt.

Cool vid, do you ride like that Griff?

Griff 05-12-2019 06:41 PM

Not hardly! I can clean some tricky XC climbs and reasonable Enduro routes but I usually have my self-preservation program running. I don't have the skills for trials type riding or extreme downhill.

Yeah, keep reminding yourself you have shit to do tomorrow... and the next day. ;)

EWS Madeira Stage 6. The lens doesn't due justice to the steepness of the course but check ot the work from about 4 minutes on. Keep in might that Yoann flying as he is was still 9 seconds off the leader on this stage. These guys are crazy fast.

That looks like it would be exciting at half speed, and a bit dangerous.

Also, the view was remarkably steady and framed as well as that lens could be. But I wish the view were wider, I found myself tipping the phone back trying to raise my line of sight. A wider lens, even a fisheye would be appreciated.

Traveling helmet...

BigV 05-24-2019 09:28 AM

I'm interested.. We traveled recently and brought the bikes but forgot the helmets. Oops.

Having a couple like that in our camping kit would be great.

I just gotta say here.. maybe you don't want a helmet to be collapsible?

Griff 05-28-2019 06:33 AM

As someone who has smashed a helmet, I prefer a pretty decent helmet.

Excellent solo ride on Memorial Day. I ran into a couple other greybeards one doing trail maintenance and the other trying to beat his previous best on a climb using Strava. The ribs did not interfere.

I wondered about a helmet that collapses but then figured the worry is the padding between your head and the point of impact.

Bwahahahaha Danny Daycare...
