its deceptive in the video cuz the dirt there is rooty and super off camber but its hidden under the snow, at least i didnt fall into the thorns this time
I was gunna ask about camber. That can mess with the gyroscope in your head when you are used to seeing the horizon and letting your body do the same thing over and over, and then the ground says, "NOPE, fooled you. You leaned too much so I swallowed you!" BAM, down we go.
Downhill decreasing radius off cambers are the best for that. All of a sudden you need the brakes, but if you dare touch the lever you are on you head, following the skid mark your FRONT tire is leaving, listening to the lovely sound of bike parts grinding down to nubs. LOL.
