My younger brother finally decided to go from XC bikes to a 29er trail.
Now I can't keep up!

Always the plan, surely?Sounds very like new bike time !
Problem is, I don't think its my bike that's the problem ha ha.Always the plan, surely?
Thanks mate, yeah its got some heart busting sections ha ha. Not sure of the tree gap but it's plenty big enough. It's just that the trail is off camber there which draws you towards the tree. I was completely off balance, missed the bars but slammed my shoulder. Did the exact same thing the run before the one in the video, but on this one I actually took some skin off. It does have some very tight sections though, little bit dicey at speed.Great video! Temple of Zoom: plenty of Zoom, but a little too much Froome (salbutamol optional) but only because I'm unfit.
Frikken nice looking trail. How wide was the gap between the trees where you banged the bars Chriso_29er?
I have two, not looking forward to the future.Pro tip. Don’t have a son. If you do, don’t let him ride.
It’s awesome. Every good bike part and spare cent goes to them instead of you, and you get to stress over what they are doing.I have two, not looking forward to the future.
My older guy is a little reserved. My younger one however, Mr 6 almost 7, look out world (and my bank account) lol.It’s awesome. Every good bike part and spare cent goes to them instead of you, and you get to stress over what they are doing.

I've enjoyed watching a few of your videos, and always thought 'damn, he's quick'. ..... and then I saw your brother ride ......My younger brother finally decided to go from XC bikes to a 29er trail.

I rekon a 140mm hardtail would blast down there. One of my 29ers can't actually corner around a lot of the tighter stuff without drifting the corner.Good to see it takes me about twice as long as you to get down temple of zoom - going to need to do more practice. Lot's of surprises on No Strava for a first time rider.
That doesn’t sound fun at allwithout drifting the corner.
I have riden silvan once in the rain on a xc hardtail.. It was lethal, wet hardpack clay and ridiculously slippery roots.. Temple of zoom took me about 10mins falling off every tight corner.. Love to hit it again in the dry..Good to see it takes me about twice as long as you to get down temple of zoom - going to need to do more practice.

I agree, need a good set of front forks for the crazy chatter, but hard tail would help with the couple of flatter sections.I rekon a 140mm hardtail would blast down there. One of my 29ers can't actually corner around a lot of the tighter stuff without drifting the corner.
