When you're open, present, and centered on the mountain bike, all your skills will flow effortlessly. Use your excitement to be active and dynamic on the bike as you confidently ride all the jumps, drops, tech, steeps, skinnies and climbs.
Settle the debate... mountain bike fist bump vs. hand shake (or bro-hug!)? Are some features visually misleading or actually harder to ride? Dan 'focuses on not focusing' in order to enter the mountain bike flow state! Sage rides awesome trails in Virginia such as Ragged Mountain, Western Slope and O Hill. Callouses are normal for mountain bike hands (though storing them in a jar is still not normal!).
Dan commits to trying RevGrips on his DJ! Don't burn out your quads on the MTB downhill with a proper 'hip-hinge.' Can smaller jumps actually be harder than bigger jumps? Overcoming crash memories on Sunset Ridge Trail at Hawes. Trying Continental Kryptotal tires and discussing loose terrain riding technique. Join us for all the high vibes, encouragement, laughs and fun! We appreciate you!
