the editing at 2:50 is totally awesome. The slow mo right next to the real time frame came out flawless. You satisfy the desires of bikers by creating informative videos, as well as the random video editor who really appreciates quality audio, video, and appropriate use of effects. Dope guys. Super. Dope.

Biggest things to do that I wish i knew before I went MTB:
-Go fast. Not at a crazy speed but a little out of your comfort zone. The right amount of speed will help you balance over small barriers in the path. When you go to slow, your wheel gets caught on rocks, branches, and this causes you lose control of your bike and in many cases, you will fall.
-When going over a hill, overshoot it. You don't want to barely make it up because if the hill is steep enough, you'll try that last big pedal and your back tire will spin out, and chances are you'll fall backwards or sideways. Also many times the top of the hill will contain more obstacles and if you are going slow, along with going up a hill, this is not a very good combo.
-Make when going over obstacles, that your feet are even with each other stand up straight because if one pedal is lower then your bottom pedal will hit big rocks/branches/etc in your way.
-Change your gears ahead of time. Don't want to be going up a hill in a low gear, this will slow you down a lot!
-If you don't think you can make it, just walk it, to many times you are overconfident and you will end up wiping out.
-Pick a path and stick to it! Don't worry about whats up to far ahead. Pick a path and keep your arms sturdy, this is especially important when you hit really big obstacles because if your arms aren't sturdy, then these obstacles will change your path, and this has caused myself to fall so many times; whether it be veering off trail, or even hitting a big rock that i was not intending on going over.
~Good luck -
Mark just is a fucking joker

I really have no problem with griping with my three finger brakes. I run hydraulic dicks brakes and really i like the more control with my three finger brakes. Ive tried two finger and the one finger brakes but i didn't really like them.
-
Do I need full finger gloves or just normal biking gloves that aren't full finger?
-
Hey you are really cool what bike are you using
-
My most common mistake which really frustrates me is the accidental braking.Even with one finger on the brake, when the path gets too bulky I instinctively want to grab the handlebars with all my hand and I often pull the brake lever because of that.I've fallen off my bike several times because of it and I'm really trying to stop doing it but I just can't :(
