    Looks like a cool bike! Nothing wrong with a 26er, although you'll be in heaven when you eventually move to a 27,5" or 29" :D Makes rocks and roots so much smoother. Personally I still prefer 27,5" over 29" though. I've got a M sized Mondraker 27,5" that's got the same wheelbase as my brother's...

    First time playing out in nearly two years... who else?

    My band played one gig in 2020 fall. Of all gigs that one happened to be our album release party and everyone had fun despite the limited capacity (which ended when the bands had played and the venue was an open bar for everyone and not a "event". Suddenly it's ok to squeeze in twice the amount...

    Ooo, nice to see new posts in this thread. I realized that I never shared this vid (my trip to a dh bike park last November): Can’t wait for our local park to open in 10 days, already got a season pass!

    1 hour downpicking challenge video (19.000 downstrokes)

    Nice! I've sometimes done 30min nonstop stints, starting around the same tempo, when working on my downstrokes. Good to see I'm not crazy at all then :lol:

    Yeah! Tons of videos in the tube. Looks like it could make the practice a bit more efficient:

    Thanks! :D The game looks promising! Gotta keep an eye on that! I also got my older bro into riding. Now he's talking about making a stand for practicing manuals. Anyone tried one? Sounds like a fun indoors activity in the winter.

    A friend took me to a bike park to ride downhill a month ago. A week later I already had my own full suspension bike and was watching GMBN videos all day when I'm not riding :lol: Downhill is so much fun and scratches a lot of the same itch as snowboarding, and on a bike I feel it's also a lot...

    How to fix poor timing?

    This. I can't remember where I heard the term, but someone somewhere talked about "burying the beat" while playing. In other words, be so dead on that you barely even hear the click whenever the note lands on the beat.

    New Carcass song and EP!

    Damn! This is some good sh1t! A little ironic that one of the best aging bands are called Carcass :lol:

    Funny things guitar players do

    Note to self: do not have your solo boost and clean sound next to each other on a pedalboard. That epic bend that starts off the solo might become quite the opposite if you don't watch your step :lol:

    Yeah! A lot of times it ends up that way. She usually composes on a piano and whenever I have an idea for a part, I think more about the song than the fingering :lol:
