Knowing when to hit your Limit..... | Laguna beach | Aliso woods

hey YouTube in today's video I'm going to be riding a trail that's new to me uh it is a trail that is not on trail forks and um a lot I think believe it's an unsanctioned Trail um but yeah it's going to be my first time on it I've been wanting to ride it um might be pretty uh loose and blown out but uh we'll take it slow and then we'll uh check it out um but first we'll do a quick warm up all right and after a bit of warming up um still feeling a a bit tense and uh notice I'm not feeling as as confident as I usually am maybe because I'm riding a little bit later in the day and I I think when I ride earlier in the day I'm a little bit more fresh um but I did make it a uh I did make it a resolution to try to come out here and check out this Trail so even if I'm not 100% I'll take it pretty slow and and maybe even walk some sections if I really don't feel that confident um but yeah I mean it all comes with like how I feeling and if I'm not feeling it i' I've had really bad crashes in the past where I'm not feeling it and I forc myself so I think for checking out this Trail I'll just uh you know be more in control and and tell myself that you know it's okay I'm not going to force anything if I'm not feeling confident oh yeah this TR is definitely really uh Rocky someone said stop I take the wrong way all right stopped here on the side because I wanted to uh slow down cuz I think there's going to be a big rock roll um up here and uh definitely want to check it out but yeah this Trail is definitely pretty pretty steep um I feel like videos just don't do it a Justice stop and look oh yeah that is definitely a nice steep shoot definitely a lot of places where the uh rocks can trip you up so you come out right here out of that uh left corner and then you got a little bit of rock chter right here you just slide right down at the feature I saw some dude just go down hold it down pretty good but he got lost at some of the chunk and ended up having a bad crashday checked on the guy who ended up crashing and he's doing all right he uh managed to hit his helmet pretty hard but uh gave me a chance to check out the trail and it's uh super blown out I uh I don't know if I would if I'm going to ride it I think I'm just going to skip today because this Trail is it seems unridable right now just because of how redded it is and it seems like it really needs moisture to be able to ride smoothly and correctly yeah I think I'm going to go try another trail that uh I haven't ridden in a while um but yeah let's uh let's just go to a different Trail I legit have to rock climb up this rock face that people are going down after uh seeing that crash and deciding to reroute I'm decided I'll do a car wreck because car W is a I haven't I don't ride it too much uh mainly because the bottom chunky part is really hard to connect for me but I think it's a good challenge um even though I didn't get to ride the other Trail um yeah the other Trail is super rded um and I think uh you know seeing that crash made me realize like okay like I probably can't crash um and to have the same fate as as him you know like I have to get up for work um so I think I'm going to ride within my limits and just ride car wreck and uh hopefully there shouldn't be too many hikers since it is towards the um end of the day but uh yeah yeah this CH is definitely rded as well a lot of these trails are getting rded for the summer definitely hard to control the bike here almost had an accident up there oh right have big old ruts there we go all right maybe try not to ride too fast on these Trails they ride a little bit more in controlled oh yeah look at this R it's huge all right oh yeah that run is Big this Trail is turning into Rocket Man oh yeah big old R keep High Lineo almost got in that rad right there all right let me reassess myself up here stopped to look at the trail just see the condition it's in because I think it's a really good idea if you haven't ridden the trail in like 2 to 3 months just to like scope it out first that way you don't run into any um unexpected like rocks or like ruts or whatever um so yeah decided to stop take a look it looks like some of this has been filled in with a little bit of dirt which is nice because it makes it way more easier to be rollable so um what I did is I like to to break down sections um of like features where I think I might get stuck up on and that's where like I'll put a lot of focus at while I'm riding to make sure that everything goes and flows even come up high off the front break all right that was the hard part all right nice very controlled on The Brak old R watch out for the tree Brands nice a little bit more rowdier than I expected but nice and controlled or at least try to be nice and controll today's ride didn't go as expected but uh I mean still rode a trail that I wasn't 100% on so I mean win's a win I mean what more can you ask for it's Saturday Sun's setting get a beautiful sunset so uh yeah thank you for watching and if you enjoyed please feel free to like and uh subscribe if you want to see more videos thanks [Music]
