the kids track is nearly as bad as the adult track...but they're killing it!
but man that kid is more fun than he knows he's having. So cool to see a group of kids out there having good ole fashioned sketchy fun on bikes. Memories for life.
Trailer setup is legit too. We gotta make a dirty thread about setups at some point...trailers...trucks...hitch carriers...camp gear storage, etc.
you guys ever try a stab at ice? any lakes or ponds near you?
I tried a little bit of snow riding (on straight knobbies) this week as we had newsworthy snow fall in SoCal in elevation:
and I was reminded how much it sucks. Such little traction up front made it hard to steer, the bike kept sliding into ruts (which were the worse lines), and the tires *need* to stay upright or the bike wants to lay on its side. I know, studs can help, but the issue with trail riding is that you can encounter a variety of terrain in the same ride ranging from frozen ground (where studs are best), to hard pack snow (where longer studs are better), to fresh/deep powder (where a studded paddle tire in the rear will get you the most traction). One single tire setup doesn't cover them all that well.
that's why I'm thinking ice "is the the way". Consistent terrain. Dedicated ice tires. Plenty of traction. Crazy fun.
