8 Reglas del Mountain Bike que Deberías Conocer! Ciclistas, Bike Parks y Bicicletas

In light of recent events I realized that opinions regarding the implicit rules of mountain biking They are quite divided When we buy a bicycle or pay the entrance fee to a park No one talks about the rules that no one talks about so today we are going to talk about that Among all the implicit rules this one must be the most explicit I am very serious when I say that the head is the most vulnerable part of the human body And at the same time our most valuable tool There is no more effective protection than using your head deciding that sometimes you are not ready for a leap And wait and develop the skills to do it later So in my opinion it's really worth it to wrap your head around certified plumadit To give it a good chance of surviving a blow I don't know if it's the same in all sports but unfortunately it happens They are many the situations I have witnessed involving people with top-of-the-line bicycles They ignore or avoid people who have more basic bicycles Something like the bicycle making the difference If you're one of those types please stop doing it The most amazing people I've met in mountain biking They rarely have a high-end bicycle and are even less likely to discriminate people based on the bicycle they have The type or quality of bicycle you ride does not make a person more or less Let's say that on a normal day you go as fast as you can timing your descent Just simply your backpack is stuck shouting at you to let go of the brake You're extremely motivated during your best streak caught up in a competitive mindset in which you race against yourself In this situation you must have something very clear Yes because probably in the whole bike park you're the only cyclist who knows what's going through your head Many are learning others are having fun and are having an incredible time Don't be the annoying guy who has no apparent reason He's gone crazy shouting at the track trying to get everyone out of his way The only situation in which it would be justified to ask the one ahead for a track is in competition And this means that it is the duty of the slower runner to let the faster runner pass Under normal conditions assume that you will have to slow down Respect the one ahead and take another run Rear-end collisions are extremely common and extremely preventable If you're tailgating the guy in front of you you're risking an easy collision Because if things go wrong they will go wrong very quickly When you shorten the distance you have with the one ahead of you Reaction time is also shortened It is worth clarifying at this point that I am a terrible example Because I usually stay as close as possible to friends or acquaintances Still I don't do it without first knowing that the person ahead knows I'm there And she is willing to take the risk of getting as close as possible to make the best shots possible Going back to the topic if by a series of unfortunate events you ended up crashing into the person in front of you Without letting them know you were there or being in competition take responsibility and try to help in any way you can Because the responsibility for these accidents lies with the cyclist behind If you don't agree with what I'm saying think of it this way What is the reaction capacity of the one in front when the one behind falls That's right Alex was left there while I didn't even know what had happened On the other hand ask yourselves what reaction capacity does the person following from behind have Sometimes it works well and sometimes it doesn't but the ability to maintain a prudent distance based on maneuverability is entirely the responsibility of the one following There are many reasons why you might get stuck in the middle of the trac Whether you want to watch a jump stop to chat record a friend or just got a flat tire Grab your bike and move to the side of the trail as quickly as possible and stay alert for those coming down If you are blocking the trail and cause an accident it will be your responsibility A good number of the trails in Chile have certain rules such as the direction of the trails Never go down on the downhills or up on the uphills Going against the current of a trail can have super serious consequences You would have to take responsibility for what happened The fact that you didn't know isn't a good excuse I have many friends and relatives who have a beautiful motto and it is to leave the place where they were cleaner than when they arrived Maybe you don't have a place to put all the trash that others have already taken but at least don't contribute to the landfill Take your trash back home eventually to a landfill or even better to a recycling center Who throws the first stone who has never in their life been in a situation where they could have potentially helped a cycling friend Wanting to take a fast lap against the clock can be important but first we are people and then we are cyclists If you see something strange ask at least if everything is okay and if you can help in any way do so Don't be the type to keep quiet with the hat in the backpack Trust me giving a little help will make you feel much better by the end of the day This video was born from the situation that occurred in the intense Bike Park video a few days ago Clearly my reaction was not the most diplomatic in the world I'm someone who often says things very directly and very seriously That can be scary That 's something I need to work on And in fact I've been working on it for quite a while and it still doesn't come out Probably the guy who bumped into me didn't know whose responsibility it was I never explained it to him and I just got frustrated because I saw that he wasn't going to support me I didn't know if the record's subject would have a solution and I needed the bicycle for the next day to make a series of videos we'll see later The idea of this channel is that we all learn something new and that includes me These controversial scenes so to speak I include them so that we all can learn something more beyond mountain biking Knowing that there will be people who agree with some things and strongly disagree with others In the end the idea is to take the positive and try to learn as much as possible and also learn to ignore people who are just waiting for you to stumble So instead of staying with the negative learn from the mistakes and continue with the project because there are people much more valuable who have benefited from it So if you liked this video give me a like If you think there are other implicit rules in mountain biking that may be important Let me know your thoughts and we might feature it in a future video If you have a friend who isn't clear on these rules please share this video with them Subscribe to the channel to keep watching videos like this See you on the hill
