[00:00:00]All right, guys.

[00:00:02]What is up? It's your boy PEV point of view coming back at you again.

[00:00:08]Today, we're doing something a little bit different. Something I've never seen on my channel before. You guys have never seen. Uh I got a chest mount. And it's time to do some trails.

[00:00:19]Um the last time I was here I was on the Begode Xway and I pedal clipped twice.

[00:00:26]And I tried to make a video, you know, riding um riding my wheel with a selfie stick on the trails. It was not easy. I fell, you know, I'm off balance by the selfie stick.

[00:00:39]So, what I do?

[00:00:41]Got me a chest mount.

[00:00:43]Um and hopefully that's going to allow me to make some trail content, trail riding content without the use of my selfie stick like I'm riding in traffic.

[00:00:53]So, got both my hands, got my whole body.

[00:00:57]And you'll have to let me know about this angle. I really don't know what it's going to be like. I've never even record- recorded something like this before.

[00:01:05]So, it's all brand new.

[00:01:07]Um but yeah, we're out here on the trails.

[00:01:10]We are at a place called Maple Lake, Illinois.

[00:01:15]Suburb outside of Chicago.

[00:01:17]Um and they've got this bike trail.

[00:01:19]They've got several different mountain biking trails. Part of the CAMBR Chicago Area Mountain Bike Recreation, something like that. I don't even remember what it's called.

[00:01:28]But um [snorts] long story short, these are black diamond trails. Now, we're back out here doing something we have not done in a while. So, tell you right now, I'm expecting to fall.

[00:01:42]We're out here today, Maple Lake.

[00:01:46]These are uh technically black diamond trails. I'm not going to say they're the hardest black diamonds in the world, but if you look on the map, they're black and they're diamond shaped.

[00:01:57]So, you know what that means? I'm out here testing the Lynx S.

[00:02:01]And I'm curious how it's going to do. I haven't been in here for a whole year, so I'm really not looking to push things.

[00:02:07]But, just kind of want to get acclimated with off-roading.

[00:02:12]You see, I don't have the GPS on, and I'm also trying out something brand new to my channel.

[00:02:16]It's chest mount.

[00:02:18]But, um yeah.

[00:02:21]Hope this I think I can do this.

[00:02:24]Looks like fun.

[00:02:26]>> [snorts] >> We got our man Oleg in front. Got Stroh in the back.

[00:02:36]I'm going to be testing the torque of this Lynx S today.

[00:02:40]Do it.

[00:02:41]Ooh.

[00:02:42]That felt weird. [snorts] I don't think I hit that at the right angle.

[00:02:45]But, I did make it.

[00:02:48]And man, I'm not used to it being on this springy style of suspension on the trail. I'm used to that.

[00:02:54]Flat dead weight X-way.

[00:03:13]You can tell Oleg's been here before.

[00:03:15]Woah.

[00:03:17]What about my lean cut out right here?

[00:03:19]You going? Yeah, it's something good to know.

[00:03:22]He's asking about his lean cut-off angle.

[00:03:25]I think I got mine at pretty high, 65 or something, so Man.

[00:03:39]So, one thing about trails and Insta360 cameras, they're never going to show the full size of what it's really like to ride out here.

[00:03:49]Everything tends to look flat.

[00:03:51]There's not a ton of alligator [clears throat] elevation, but So, the reason I have never made content here, been here several times, tried recording several times.

[00:04:13]Um I can't do it with with the selfie stick. It just um um This trail is require so much of your focus and attention and uh your balance. And so, being off weight by the uh selfie stick was really messing me up.

[00:04:34]And the last time I was here, I pedal clipped twice on my Xway.

[00:04:37]It's really hard to see those hidden logs.

[00:04:40]Which is another reason why I liked or wanted the higher pedals um from this Leaper Kim Lynx S. Like a lot of people I know, they got All right, let's do it.

[00:04:54]That felt good.

[00:04:56]They got um you know, the pedals lowered directly from the factory or right when they got the wheel. My thing is the opposite. You should really get used to riding at the highest pedal set.

[00:05:09]So, when you need it, you got more uh clearance. And it can help you with different turns.

[00:05:16]If you're street racing or racing, rather.

[00:05:25]So far, this wheel feels really good on trails.

[00:05:28]It's got torque. Oh, actually, one thing I need to do is change my my mode. I'm in soft mode.

[00:05:34]I should be in hard mode.

[00:05:38]I actually need to do that.

[00:05:39]>> [snorts] >> Um So, I'm actually going to pull over a second.

[00:05:46]I don't want to stop in front of everybody, but I actually definitely need to be in hard mode.

[00:05:58]And I was also thinking about turning the acceleration assist off so the wheel wouldn't lean as much, but I'll just start with hard mode.

[00:06:07]Oh, got a walker.

[00:06:15]Oh, and you know what?

[00:06:16]I'm riding leaper cam and I have my hands free, so I can just do it right now.

[00:06:34]Oh, [ __ ] >> [panting] >> So, theoretical Oh, that felt weird.

[00:06:57]Theoretically, that should uh be the closest to one-to-one power delivery. That means the wheel should not move at all.

[00:07:08]It's in hard mode, although I do have acceleration assist on, so I don't know how what that'll do to those settings, but I do want exactly what I just described.

[00:07:17]I want the wheel to not move at all, so Cool.

[00:07:44]I didn't realize I was coming up or I would have hit that.

[00:07:47]Ooh.

[00:08:12]Man, that's such a weird feeling.

[00:08:16]100 accelerometer assists.

[00:08:19]100 acceleration assists and 100 reduction is the first time I've riding this sensation or riding this settings.

[00:08:26]And it just feels strange.

[00:08:28]Feels like my pedals are floating up and down.

[00:08:35]Feels like uh I don't know.

[00:08:39]Doesn't feel correct in the turns really is what it is. Feels like the pedals are separating.

[00:08:43]Ooh.

[00:09:10]Oh, that's not That's not the right feeling.

[00:09:13]I need to turn one of the two down.

[00:09:15]That is absolutely not the right feeling.

[00:09:18]After that turn, my pedals got stuck like in tilt back. They were just stuck looking up.

[00:09:28]I can't be like that. I'll fix it.

[00:09:47]>> I don't know what that did really.

[00:09:49]Let's see if it picks it up. Oh, [ __ ] I can put my phone away, get my body into it.

[00:09:57]Aaron, give me a second. I need to fix some settings.

[00:10:00]I was riding on soft mode and I realized I could change it during the ride, so I started changing [ __ ] >> you.

[00:10:06]I have no idea what my settings are right now.

[00:10:10]Yeah, we just got finished with first line, getting warmed up.

[00:10:13]Fixed some settings on my Lynx S. Let's go and talk about that. So, I got the Lynx S out here today.

[00:10:19]Uh there's that camera I was talking about, drops ahead.

[00:10:24]I got the Lynx S out here. It's the first time I'm doing proper trail rides with it.

[00:10:29]And I don't even know what to expect.

[00:10:32]You know, I got a really reboundy suspension.

[00:10:36]I got very high pedals.

[00:10:39]So, it should be good.

[00:10:41]That was nice.

[00:10:44]That one's a little sketchy. It's like you're in ravines on either side. So, if you land at the wrong way and your pedals clip, you're going overboard. And this is uh really scary stuff, honestly. I'm not a trail rider.

[00:11:01]I'm not going to act like I'm I'm comfortable or at home out here on the trails. I ride these a few times a year.

[00:11:07]And if you really want to test your experience as a rider, your skills as a rider, you got to do two things.

[00:11:14]One, go to Intro to Speed and see how hard racing actually is.

[00:11:19]And second, take some trails, do some jumps, do some drops, pedal clip a few times, and you'll get real humbled.

[00:11:31]Your whole body will be sore.

[00:11:34]Probably from the falls and from the toughness of the riding.

[00:11:38]But man, it is unlike anything you'll find on the streets.

[00:11:42]And I got mad respect for my trail riders.

[00:11:46]Love watching Matt Berk content.

[00:11:49]And even some new up-and-comers.

[00:11:51]New up-and-comers.

[00:11:53]Um in Indiana. Damn, I think he's from Indiana. Might be from somewhere else, but >> [laughter] >> I hit that way too slow.

[00:12:06]Oh, what I was going to say was shout out my man Bennett Shermer.

[00:12:11]Love watching his videos, too. He's going crazy on the arrow, doing 360s and [ __ ] Woo.

[00:12:22]That's Maple Lake.

[00:12:30]Yeah.

[00:12:37]Yeah.

[00:12:50]All right.

[00:12:52]>> [panting] >> So, we're on another black diamond.

[00:12:56]This one's going up.

[00:13:00]Uphill.

[00:13:02]And I was going to say Yeah.

[00:13:21]All right.

[00:13:33]>> Man, this is just so different than riding street. All the body positions you needed to get yourself into, thinking about the obstacles on either side, and like calculating the best way to hit them >> [snorts] >> to avoid pedal clipping, >> [panting] >> but also avoid like train tracking your tire. It can be take the angle on a root too narrow, it could throw you off your line.

[00:14:05]But if you take it too wide, you could clip something on the side.

[00:14:10]>> [panting] >> It's just so much body positioning in this.

[00:14:19]Oh god, roots on the Roots on the side of a cliff. Holy [ __ ] Okay, got a log.

[00:14:28]Going to do a bonk.

[00:14:30]I landed directly on a root.

[00:14:33]Powered right over it.

[00:14:40]You guys got to let me know if you like content like this.

[00:14:43]I really don't even know what to add.

[00:14:44]This making this a better This making this a better video. Like you might as well just watch this on ASMR mode without me talking.

[00:14:54]Good luck really adding.

[00:14:58]I should have ridden right over the rock that time. I didn't. I don't know why.

[00:15:05]I could have ridden right over the rock.

[00:15:28]>> Oh, [ __ ] No, no, no.

[00:15:30]I'm so worried about pedal clipping, man. It's so scary.

[00:15:34]But I got to remember I'm sitting high off this wheel.

[00:15:37]Standing really high off this wheel. So, as long as I keep it upright, I don't lean too hard, and I'm good.

[00:15:47]And these these hills also scare me like look at them.

[00:15:51]I'm trying to hit that jump, that little root bonk, but I'm thinking about rolling off the side of the cliff instead of the tiny little bonk in front of me. So, I'm like nervous.

[00:16:05]And this is the type of thing that I already know is going to look so pansy on camera.

[00:16:12]It's going to look so bad, but I'm having fun.

[00:16:15]Hope you are, too.

[00:16:17]I probably should have had something I wanted to talk about. Barely missed that tree.

[00:16:29]But now I'm just ripping it, riding around.

[00:16:32]Going to be a raw session.

[00:16:50]Oof.

[00:16:55]>> [snorts] >> I guess one thing I want to think about while I'm out here today is is it better to have a harder suspension in terms of compression and faster rebound, or do you kind of want that deadened suspension that just dampens everything, right? Because on the X way There was >> [panting] >> all the big drops and big bumps and root root bonks.

[00:17:35]>> [snorts] >> It did well with that style of bump.

[00:17:38]It felt good on that style of terrain.

[00:17:41]Oh, here we go.

[00:17:44]Rock garden.

[00:17:45]It's a [ __ ] rock garden compared to Matt Bird.

[00:17:48]I see him like full leaning towards like a 6-ft wide boulder. Like my my guy.

[00:17:55]How do you even know you can hit that?

[00:17:59]Holy [ __ ] Man.

[00:18:04]This is hard. This is tough, guys.

[00:18:10]My thighs are burning a little bit after that one. Man.

[00:18:14]Yeah, I got some inches on my back. I was like, "I got to tuck my shirt in cuz I felt like maybe I had some bugs on me."

[00:18:20]That's hard.

[00:18:23]That was hard, that trail?

[00:18:24]>> [snorts] >> Or just in general it's hard. I have All right, well, I um I think it was just on the less twisty ones cuz like I said, I wanted to hit the hardest one first while we have like most of the Yeah. No, I'm good. I'm I'm keeping up. I haven't clipped yet.

[00:18:42]But you want me to slow down? Is the pace fine? Like is that all right?

[00:18:45]You're good. You're good.

[00:18:49]If you want to go in front, you can. I don't know if I'm holding you back.

[00:18:57]All right.

[00:18:59]So now we got Strow in front. He's already flying faster.

[00:19:16]>> [panting] >> So, what I was trying to say, if I could ever get a coherent thought out, is like I'm thinking about the differences between the XY suspension and this Leaper Kim links ass suspension.

[00:19:37]The XY Um it felt much Oh [ __ ] it felt much harder.

[00:19:45]In the sense that it wasn't really dampening any of these small quick hits, like rocks and roots and little bonks and such.

[00:19:54]But it felt very good on the big stuff.

[00:19:59]This is kind of the opposite in a way.

[00:20:02]Is that >> [snorts] >> it just soaks up everything little.

[00:20:07]And the big stuff still feels great, but it's not you got a chance of bottoming out. And I don't I could never bottom out my XY.

[00:20:18]No matter what I did.

[00:20:20]>> [snorts] >> They're leaving me in the dust. Holy [ __ ] I also need to consider that they both been riding their wheels for over a year.

[00:20:39]You know, he's got the Sherman L and the XY.

[00:20:42]This is a newer wheel to me, right? So, my first time doing this. I don't have to keep up.

[00:20:50]But it just goes to show you that you can be top-tier rider in one domain.

[00:20:55]Not saying I'm top-tier, by the way. I'm just saying you can be really good at something in one domain and then be terrible at intro to speed, at racing in general, at uh trail riding.

[00:21:11]But all that matters is that you get out there and try in it.

[00:21:17]That was terrible body positioning. What did I just do wrong?

[00:21:55]Yeah, y'all are killing it.

[00:21:57]Y'all are killing it. I'm slowing down.

[00:22:00]I'm worried about pedal clips and I'm thinking about everything. We're going to this famous trail called gravity drop, I think. Gravity drop?

[00:22:08]Some water.

[00:22:35]Here we go.

[00:22:37]All right, you heard the man. It's the trail called gravity drop.

[00:22:41]Now, I'm hoping that's exactly what does not happen to me. I hope I don't drop out from gra- Hope the gravity doesn't drop out from underneath me.

[00:22:50]Oh, [ __ ] That's close.

[00:23:02]What is it real tight?

[00:23:13]Oh, man. Why am I so bad at YouTube? I don't know what to say.

[00:23:17]>> [laughter] >> Trails are hard.

[00:23:20]Go fast, get hurt.

[00:23:22]Be smart, don't get hurt.

[00:23:32]The berm is [ __ ] up.

[00:23:41]I'm lucky this trail isn't overgrown because there are some dangers and rocks, logs in the corners that you cannot see sometimes. That's what happened to me last time.

[00:23:57]I said I was getting pedal clips.

[00:24:04]No, I'm not doing that. Sorry, buddy.

[00:24:08]I'll do this one, though.

[00:24:18]>> [sighs] >> Man.

[00:24:22]Gravity drop. I like this trail so far.

[00:24:24]This one is pretty flowy.

[00:24:26]There's not a lot of uh drops like the name would suggest, but this one is flowy.

[00:24:35]Couple tight squeezes, but other than that, I mean, this is like you can keep a good pace on this one.

[00:24:41]Woo.

[00:24:48]That's fun.

[00:24:52]Oh, up one.

[00:24:54]Up two.

[00:24:57]Around the rock on the right. Don't pedal clip. Wow.

[00:25:00]I was worried about that one.

[00:25:02]Above.

[00:25:25]One thing I really need to get better on is looking out in front more.

[00:25:30]I feel like I have a bad habit of over indexing on the ground or like the terrain right in front of me and not looking at what's upcoming.

[00:26:26]Dude, I'm really liking this wheel for trail riding.

[00:26:29]The suspension is so good.

[00:26:32]Just lets you fly over everything.

[00:26:35]I'm I'm sure I'm going slow, but this feels fast for me.

[00:26:52]>> [snorts] >> Thanks.

[00:27:02]All right, let's see if I can actually keep up.

[00:27:33]Oh, baby, a triple.

[00:27:44]Oh, [ __ ] Wow.

[00:27:50]That's a gravity drop.

[00:27:51]Right there, if I were to see one.

[00:27:57]Want to catch up, I got to get him.

[00:28:05]Nice.

[00:28:47]This wheel really the feeling of like a magic carpet ride.

[00:28:54]You're just gliding over the air effortlessly over the ground rather.

[00:29:16]Let's go.

[00:29:29]Can't wait to see how that looks.

[00:29:34]That's what happens when you pedal box something or curve box something way too high.

[00:29:45]I'm glad you're not going to drive me off.

[00:29:50]That's what I I was [ __ ] right? Yeah, my thighs are tired for sure.

[00:29:56]But that one part that's like a really steep drop is like for bikers that's pretty like, you know, gnarly. That shit's That was like nothing, huh?

[00:30:04]Bro, anyways, this is another one so far I would call There you go.

[00:30:21]Need to get my feet on the pedals in the right way.

[00:30:40]Oh, pedal clip for the first time.

[00:30:43]My shoes just touched a road a root.

[00:30:46]That's not good.

[00:30:48]I got to be mindful of that.

[00:31:22]Oh, I don't know why I [ __ ] almost drove off the cliff.

[00:31:25]What am I doing? Lock it the [ __ ] in.

[00:31:29]Whoop.

[00:31:31]I think that's what I struggle with, being in turns and then not seeing a clip come up and knowing my wheel is already turned.

[00:31:40]Like I'm trying to figure out and think about how to come back from that. I think what I need to do is put my body weight or my body in front of the wheel more.

[00:31:54]I think I'm like leading the turns with my wheel as opposed to >> [panting] >> with my body.

[00:32:03]Like right now Whoop.

[00:32:07]I don't know, man.

[00:32:20]Boop.

[00:32:34]>> [snorts] >> My legs are [ __ ] burning.

[00:33:11]All right, I've lost all speed at this point. Now I'm going uphill. [ __ ] Oh, [ __ ] >> Man, left behind on the trails.

[00:36:08]The life of last place. Oh god.

[00:36:11][ __ ] [ __ ] it.

[00:36:13]Look at that Lynx SS, baby.

[00:36:34]>> Oh my god. Oh.

[00:36:37]Oh, last second I saw >> [panting] >> a real clip risk. Clip risk.

[00:36:48]This is weighing too on my head right now.

[00:38:29]>> I think they're called Coral Trail.

[00:38:31]I don't remember.

[00:38:34]How long do you think you'll be good to go? Yeah, I'm doing good. I'm not used to this tire or this wheel for sure. It definitely like it does some weird stuff in the berms. It feels like my pedals are separated. I'm going different ways.

[00:38:44]They're all like pull out of a turn and my pedals will be like tilt back a little bit.

[00:38:49]So, I don't know. It's No, we don't need to go there.

[00:38:53]It takes us out across the road to the another side of the There's not going to be any more like super super twisty turning ones after these. They're like the twistiest black diamonds around [snorts] here. So, Yeah.

[00:39:06]No, I'm I'm doing good. I'm enjoying it.

[00:39:08]I'm just chilling, taking my time. I'd rather take my time >> tired. My back I'm feeling it in my Oh, my bike is my bike going Yeah, I'd rather take my time than Yeah, exactly.

[00:39:17]bust my ass, so.

[00:39:20]Yeah. Congratulations.

[00:39:21]That's right.

[00:39:26]Give him like like a little head start and Did he say congratulations?

[00:39:30]>> said innovation. Oh, okay.

[00:39:32]Like cheers. Yeah.

[00:39:37]Is that enough of a head start?

[00:39:39]Yeah.

[00:39:40]That was like 2 seconds.

[00:40:13]Yeah.

[00:40:14]Woo!

[00:41:38]>> How beautiful is this?

[00:41:40]10 out of 10.

[00:41:45]You all right? Yeah, it was good. That was good.

[00:41:47]Uh uh. See you over there.

[00:41:49]Yeah, yeah. We're going to have to go back to the car.

[00:41:54]You go back that way? Yep.

[00:41:57]Yeah.

[00:42:05]That was going to get some more? Yeah.

[00:42:07]You got to go get some lights to go to some other ones? Yeah, let's go.

[00:42:11]We're good.

[00:42:58]This wheel has really good torque.

[00:43:03]Um the suspension is actually really nice.

[00:43:05]I think I don't know I thought about it.

[00:43:07]I'm enjoying this style of suspension um more than I was the X-Way on these same trails. I think the reason is because on the X-Way, you feel every single little jolt, every little bump.

[00:43:18]But then on the bottom, the big stuff, the big drops, big hard roots, rocks, you you don't feel it as much cuz it it soaks it up.

[00:43:26]But the smaller stuff, it you feel more.

[00:43:28]So, I feel like I could ride longer on the trails because uh the suspension is just eating everything up, and I don't feel anything in my feet really. Like right now, I'm just genuinely gliding over the ground.

[00:43:43]And all those rocks, I remember hitting those uh other times on my X-Way, and all those roots, rather.

[00:43:51]Those, I would feel those, for sure.

[00:43:56]But uh I don't know. I'm having fun. This [ __ ] is not easy.

[00:44:03]I'm not really sure um what I'd really post out of this if it was just like a highlight or just kind of this raw video.

[00:44:14]I know, um, you know, other people on YouTube, Roger, like I got shot in the face with a [ __ ] piece of dirt just now. God damn.

[00:44:22]Um, Roger, Mad Burn, Don, they post lot longer videos, Marty, and don't do a ton of editing.

[00:44:33]Keep a lot of their talks, um, you know, baked in.

[00:44:40]And maybe I'll do something like that.

[00:44:42]Just long Woohoohoo! Love that. Just long form video.

[00:44:49]Taking you guys with me.

[00:44:54]So, I guess you already know the answer to what I'm what I decided to do at this point.

[00:44:57]You're watching the video, but All right, we're finally on the street.

[00:45:05]It's not going to be for very long. If I remember where we're going next correctly, we usually go across the street to like Bullfrog Camp or something like that.

[00:45:15]Bullfrog Lake Camp.

[00:45:18]And there's lots of other trails.

[00:45:21]But, uh, we got the Sherman [ __ ] Lynx S today.

[00:45:26]So, to for riding these trails, I'm pretty sure I turned off acceleration assist. I'm pretty sure No, maybe I left it on, but turned the other I don't [ __ ] know what I did. I'll have to look at that. Let's just look.

[00:45:37]I don't know why I'm speculating.

[00:45:47]Scooter gang.

[00:45:52]All right, what do I got going on?

[00:45:54]So, acceleration and deceleration assist I I put it on 25.

[00:45:59]And that honestly felt really good for the trails I was riding. So, I'm going to keep it on that.

[00:46:04]I need to remember to change it when I leave out of here.

[00:46:10]I'm sure I will remember, but yeah, this mode feels like a pretty hard mode, right?

[00:46:18]I'm not getting a lot of horizon dips like I talked about in the last video.

[00:46:27]And I feel more connected to the power delivery because there's no leans. It's just like my body on the pedal weight, you know?

[00:46:37]Oh, >> [snorts] >> But, you know, it's weird to me cuz like I never really talked about or thought about doing those long long-form videos like Roger, Matt, all those people I just named. But, at the same time, like I watch all of that content. Like I I I put on a long 2-hour video on the big screen on my you know, my monitor or on the TV and just zone out and do other things.

[00:47:13]So, like why wouldn't somebody not want to do that for my videos?

[00:47:20]This trail is [snorts] feeling super nice.

[00:47:23]Yeah, you're killing it, honestly.

[00:47:26]I don't like [ __ ] like this. Look at this Look at that. It's too tight.

[00:47:32]Oh, yeah, we got to go.

[00:47:33]We're going to take some of the path that could save kind of closer on the lake. You go that way. So, yeah, we're good. We're going to I'll let them go ahead and front.

[00:47:51]And this is where >> This is where this type of suspension shines.

[00:48:18]I'm not dealing with any of that.

[00:48:21]That would have felt annoying on the Xway, I can tell.

[00:48:24]And this loose gravelly [ __ ] I don't like that either.

[00:48:28]But, I just got to lean forward, go up the hill in a straight line, not go off the grass.

[00:48:44][ __ ] Holy [ __ ] I don't like Man, it's hard for me to get my torque. I need to probably move the shark pads a little bit forward, I think.

[00:48:58]I got my street lean going on. I need to do a more controlled lean.

[00:49:20]>> [clears throat] >> Huh.

[00:49:55]>> All right.

[00:49:57]I rode those same settings for a while.

[00:50:00]I feel like I need to change them in some capacity.

[00:50:03]Let's switch it up. Let's try 80 75.

[00:50:08]And let's try this at 50 45 actually.

[00:50:17]So now we're getting a little bit of soft mode, a little bit of acceleration assist, a little bit of lean on the wheel.

[00:50:27]Hopefully it doesn't make my pedals go down so much to where I have a pedal clip risk.

[00:50:35]But I haven't so far.

[00:50:37]And I do know that my pedals are sitting higher than they do on the Xway, so I have less of a risk to to worry about it.

[00:50:50]But man, guys, look at that.

[00:50:52]Beautiful day out here.

[00:50:54]It's crazy to think it's so close to uh Chicago.

[00:51:44]Biker was like, "What the fuck?"

[00:51:51]All right. I got to get out of my element.

[00:51:55]Get out of my head.

[00:51:58]Pick some better lines.

[00:52:00]Stop thinking as much. Just [ __ ] ride.

[00:52:04]I think that's really what I do is just ride.

[00:52:06]Just ride.

[00:52:15]Y'all all right?

[00:52:17]You good? [ __ ] Look at this. As soon as I saw it, I was like, yeah, I'm probably going to fall here.

[00:52:22]Duh.

[00:52:24]When you're in a valley on both sides, it's like, what can you do?

[00:52:28]This is so nice.

[00:52:30]Oh.

[00:52:37][ __ ] All right. You have to think I can ride out of here.

[00:52:42]Be the only one who didn't fall.

[00:52:49]Yes, sir.

[00:52:51]It's raining over here.

[00:52:52]I'm here.

[00:52:54]And just like that, I'm looking at the camera in the back. You're being the only person who hasn't fallen today.

[00:53:00]What did you say about it? What the [ __ ] That was like 2 seconds. Yeah.

[00:53:20]I think this middle trail So, I think the last setting change I just did Oh, boy. That one I'm happy you got that one.

[00:53:33]I think the last setting change I just did is now the best that I've felt it on trail so far.

[00:53:40]I'm definitely bottoming out here.

[00:53:42]Um I think bumping up the acceleration assist up to 40 makes coming out of those turns a lot easier.

[00:53:50]Makes going up the hills a lot easier.

[00:53:53]And uh I thought that you know, having a 100% throttle hardness would give me that direct power injection.

[00:54:03]Oh.

[00:54:04]He might need a little bit of assist.

[00:54:06]We'll get you there. It wasn't too bad.

[00:54:07]There was that one spot we didn't make it through.

[00:54:09]>> was spot. Good night.

[00:54:11]All right, cool. We're going to end this here then. All right. We got 7:15, time check.

[00:54:16]All right.

[00:54:19]So, hopefully my batteries are all doing well.

[00:54:24]Um I just hit I just hit I think I just looped my recording just looped for the second time.

[00:54:36]I don't think I'm going to upload the very first portion of the video. We'll see how it goes.

[00:54:41]Anyway, um my camera says that I got 24 minutes of recording left on my SD card.

[00:54:57]So, now this is going to be much much longer, but look at this [ __ ] right here.

[00:55:06]Camera can't show you how much this feels like Oh my god.

[00:55:13]Hopefully I'm glad I made it.

[00:55:15]Oh man, the camera is not going to pick that up. That is steep. I didn't have momentum. I didn't have momentum.

[00:55:21]See if Dean can.

[00:55:22]There we go.

[00:55:26]All right, now I'm in front. Now I'm leading them.

[00:56:07]>> It was 12 mph I get 25 ft.

[00:56:14]I don't know. It's a different pressure when you're in front.

[00:56:17]It's like I know they're not going to pass me cuz they can't, but I feel like maybe I just need to be the person in front.

[00:56:28]Cuz before I'm like trying to over analyze every line.

[00:56:34]I just need to do it.

[00:56:36]Okay.

[00:56:38]Wow. Okay, that felt really good.

[00:56:41]The torque up that hill again, camera's not going to show it.

[00:56:45]But that felt like this wheel's got [ __ ] torque.

[00:56:50]Didn't hesitate at all.

[00:56:52]And that's like a damn near vertical one.

[00:56:57]I'm going right. [ __ ] these wheels.

[00:57:02]Whip it can. Oh, that's probably for So you know.

[00:57:24]Sorry, not a whip it can. CO2 can for a pumping up your tire because that's what mountain bikes do.

[00:57:41]>> Yeah, whatever you know, the last settings I adjusted, this is definitely my preferred riding now.

[00:57:49]Little bit of acceleration assist, little bit of pedal dip, pure responsiveness.

[00:57:56]This is such a fun to ride.

[00:58:03]This suspension now, it's golden.

[00:58:09]We're heading out twilight session session.

[00:58:13]Twilight twinkle.

[00:58:19]Oh god.

[00:58:23]Wow. Wow. Wow.

[00:58:27]That is like I'm impressed every time I hit that.

[00:58:34]Uh-oh.

[00:58:35]Heard a wheel.

[00:58:42]I am impressed every time I hit that.

[00:58:44]It's straight up.

[00:58:55]>> [snorts] >> Hey guys. Well, thanks for for for riding with me today.

[00:59:35]This has been an exploratory trails ride.

[00:59:39]Testing out the chest mount. I still don't know what this angle is going to look like.

[00:59:43]I'm sure I'm going to get home and be like this angle is You can't tell anything until I'm home.

[00:59:50]And I also don't have my GPS remote on me today, so you can't see how fast I'm going.

[00:59:56]Well, I mean, hey.

[00:59:58]Oh, I guess because of the angle you might be able to look down and see my speedometer.

[01:00:04]But I mean, I'm not going faster than 15 20 mph on these trails, I'm sure.

[01:00:14]That was not a good line.

[01:00:17]Terrible [ __ ] line.

[01:00:21]But yeah.

[01:00:36]I thought I was right, I mean, I think it's I think that way, but yeah yeah yeah, it's definitely that way. But I looked at the picture and we turned into the right.

[01:00:45]You guys following too close behind the light, guys.

[01:00:47]>> Oh, yeah.

[01:00:48]Didn't have momentum, and then once the wheel turned, I was like, well, I'm pushing it up. Those hills are like straight up. I'm like, it's not going to show up on camera, but it's like [ __ ] straight up.

[01:00:57]I'm like >> this way and then I'm making another left.

[01:01:00]That's why you can't follow too close.

[01:01:02]Yeah. Cuz then you won't have momentum.

[01:01:08]Want Want to leave Andrew and the other three? Anyone else want to leave?

[01:01:11]>> I can go.

[01:01:12]All right, how about you follow me?

[01:01:19]So yeah, I guess when I'm in the front of the pack, I'm not worried I'm not thinking about um pedal clips in the same way. I don't know why.

[01:01:30]I'm going to ride it out.

[01:01:36]Oh yeah, this rock sucks.

[01:01:40]This one.

[01:01:53]Hey.

[01:02:00]I got to go that way.

[01:02:19]Put in 100 more miles on this tire.

[01:02:23]And it's a very satisfying stuff tire.

[01:02:27]Ride it out until uh Yeah, that felt more like an accident than That was fun.

[01:02:41]Because if we go that way, that takes us to a bunch of other twisty parts that it'll take [ __ ] forever to get back to the car and get a drink. So Let's go.

[01:02:48]Yeah.

[01:02:50]You guys I I'll keep behind you.

[01:02:53]I'm going to go that way when I leave.

[01:02:57]I like the tire. It is uh I'm getting used to it more and more.

[01:03:03]But it does make me curious like what is a real Shinko 244 like. What are the differences between this knockoff and a real one?

[01:03:13]I know Rob did a comparison between all three of the uh two ones think I'll take one for the road.

[01:03:29]I was telling him about this in the car.

[01:03:31]Oh, what is this?

[01:03:34]What is this? Part of it like a nuke is out here and it buried out here or something.

[01:03:41]Pretty dope.

[01:03:42]There's another marker. I don't think it's this one. Oh, no, here it is.

[01:03:46]What is this? Oh, yeah, this is pile site A. They buried all the [ __ ] nuclear material just underground in this 10 tons tons of uranium.

[01:04:00]>> ones that was made at Argonne. Yeah, we're not just >> 42 tons of uranium oxide. What the [ __ ] were they doing out here? Well, because Argonne National Lab is not too far.

[01:04:15]Yep.

[01:04:18]If you see any UAP sightings, UFO sightings out here, that explains it.

[01:04:21]>> what?

[01:04:22]Huh? You see like a mutated honey badger.

[01:04:25]>> Yeah. Now, if you see UFOs >> They don't take no [ __ ] Let me leave from here cuz we're going to make a couple turns.

[01:04:30]Yeah. I want you to to lift I don't know where I'm going.
