I just picked up one of these. We can definitely make some shuttles happen...
Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

I’ve never ridden WOW. I’d be in for a shuttle. I have a 4 place rack and a tailgate…so technically can carry more than my truck seats. Busy this weekend and next though
The Biddle Bike Bus is now fully operational.

So I sorta had a mid-life crisis, and brought this home from Oregon.
Giant Trance X 29, with all the carbon and Performance Elite goodies. It's sex on two wheels and I love it. I love it so much I let it throw me over the side of the mountain Saturday morning and busted up my helmet pretty good.
Busted me up pretty good too, felt like I'd been hit by a train. Doing better now and the new helmet showed up, so who wants to ride?

I'll be in CC tonight with the boys' NICA team.
What's The Farm, mostly jump lines right? I suck at jumps...

What a coincidence, me too!
Seriously tho I think that helmet saved my life. Or at least a very expensive life flight and a long convalescence.

I'm a Giant fan, see what I did there

I think you will love that bike. I rode the crap out of a couple Reigns. Glad your brain bucket saved your noggin. I'm down for CC any evening. The rework on Rush is a blast. I have been totally slacking on pedaling this year.

I had one of those type of mountain bike crashes once, too. I still got a concussion even though I was wearing my helmet, and I am 100% certain I would have split my head open had I not been wearing it.
Who else among us is still here thanks to their bike helmet?
I smashed myself pretty good riding with Kevin few years ago in Midway. Helmet definitely saved my head from cracking open. My shoulder still disagrees with that day.
Took a nasty spill riding Tamarack Resort a couple summers ago. Very glad I had the helmet and glad it was a full face as well.

I'm glad you are not dead. Is it New Helmet Day for you too, or did it survive your experiment?
I was wearing G-Form pads on the knees when I went over, pretty sure they saved my legs from looking kinda like yours do now.

It survived quite well, couple shell scratches is all.
Pads are on my mind for sure. How is the injury risk / hot and sweaty ratio determined?

I'm no expert. I get super hot and sweaty and G-Forms are the favorite of the cross country set so that's where I started. They've worked well so far, prolly mostly because I don't crash often. If I start crashing more and they stop keeping up I might consider something with more beef,
