    Last Thursday. Damn @Sandytaco14 had symptoms and I shared a bike with him. His doctor told him to stay in for 14 days instead of going to get tested and so I had to report it to work. Therefore I am staying in for 14 lol

    He had the symptoms but they didn’t bother him too badly. His doctor told him it wasn’t worth the risk of getting tested so just to self quarantine.

    i have plastic fookers on my bike. They are great for the price.

    bought a similar priced pedal before them and broke 2 pins pretty quick, but the fookers have taken more abuse and are going strong

    man... @Jerneyman and I had what I would say our toughest and one of the best rides we've had at Monte Sano yesterday. We absolutely bombed some trails. My confidence is for sure building on downhill/tech stuff. I just still suck at climbing.. #mountainwalrus

    I'm excited to see what you do. On my old bike I wasn't even willing to attempt some of the stuff we are bombing on full suspension. I think that's partially the bike, but partially confidence too...I am a much more confident rider nowadays.

    Bike has alot to do with confidence. A bike your noy confident in can hold you back massivly. Some day ill get a full squish and have one of each lol. That day is many years from now but one can dream lol. Im also gunna start doing little things on my BMX bike and try and start racing again. Would love to be able to do a few races on the MTB and the BMX bike next year.

    yeah I think I'm going to put budget upgrades on my GT Hardtail to have it as at least a backup, but also to play on it some too.

    From what ive researched, hardtails are better at somethings than full sus. Always nice to have options tho.

    all depends on geometry/components.

    knowing what I'm capable of and what I'm willing to do...hardtail/full squish....they're both bikes and will both do the same things, just to different extents/comfort levels lol. in the end...they'll both do it all..
