    2023 recommended flat pedal shoes (best grip)

    Yup ride concepts are awesome. They dont fall apart like 5ten/adidas. Hellion or powerlines have been great. Havent tried the tallac but k bet theyre atleast ss good. Those guys always seem to have deals available. I bought last years on sale

    Nice! Sounds like you're well on your way. Bike parks are generally set up well for progression. Back to back to back blue runs will have you sorted. No rush when you have a lift or an eeb for multiple laps

    Recovery from herniated (slipped) discs.

    I have to keep moving. I just have to be careful to know how much for that particular day. If i take a day off its only one and i stretch. Things go sideways if i lay around more than a day

    Recovery from herniated (slipped) discs.

    Damn!! Thats gnarly. You and Slymobi need some kind of reward. Reading between the lines though i can feel you'll both find a way forward. I found i could tell .At one "pain" clinic there was a large group of differing injuries. Many were wacked right out of it on oxycodone. I only got to know...

    Recovery from herniated (slipped) discs.

    Man, im appreciating these stories. They call it white coat syndrome. My blood pressure jumps considerably anytime im in a medical facility. Ill keep hammering away until i definitively have to consider surgical. If so ill be researching surgeons. My orthopedics buddy told me anytime i need a...

    Recovery from herniated (slipped) discs.

    The surgery sounds promising. Im also conversing with a buddy about discectomy. He is a physio and he ended up having to go with a discectomy and it seems to be working. It must be such a relief not having pinched nerves. In both cases thsts the alognment phase. The reinforcement , preventative...

    Recovery from herniated (slipped) discs.

    I think the 8 seconds/pilates doesnt completely focus on the spinalis. My understanding is they would do more reps and the 1" inch above the floor/mat isnt part of it. It then becomes an exercise that works on the larger/lifting/movement muscles in the back and even a bit of cardio. Your...

    Recovery from herniated (slipped) discs.

    Good one Steve. Nice to have some tools that work. Im not big on chiro either. Being snapped into place nay align a person but the support system is still damaged. Stabilizer muscle work needs to be done go support and surround the injury to atleast slow imminent arthritus. Ive got an...

    Recovery from herniated (slipped) discs.

    Everyones injury is different so it can be hard to tell. That being said im pretty sure you'll be able to get on the bike and rip some turns. Personally i just have to be reasonable with my expectatiins and careful not to overdue it. Thats why the dmtb is so great. But even with the eeb , after...

    Recovery from herniated (slipped) discs.

    Thats good. Physio is key. They dont have to be crazy exercises. The key is repitition. When you sustain an injury and pinch a nerve its like losing current to your stabilizer muscles. As a result theose muscles stop firing intuitively. When you go to lift something they should automatically...

    Recovery from herniated (slipped) discs.

    If its only been 2 months i'd take it very ez. Best case scenario is exstensive physio for 8 weeks prior but you definitely dont want to reinjure and go back to the start. I'm going on 30yrs of maintainence of s1, l3,4,5. I had great success after a full 2 year/every day physio and stretching...

    Miranda Cranks

    I recently messaged miranda in their pop up "chat" on the site asking which cranks. They responded quite quick. I have 160 miramda cranks i bought a few years ago. Theyve been great and i thought id get some 150 or 155's. They steered me to the correct option

    2023 YT MX Core 4 Suspension Setup

    For reference, I went back and found my settings when i had my 38 elite(i think it was "elite"/same as factory without kashima and bleeder valves).on my decoy. I had it at 180mm travel. After experimenting i end up at 90psi with one volume spacer and i wouldve weighed 80kg. Jumps, drops...

    2023 YT MX Core 4 Suspension Setup

    Good call. I bet theyre aware of a possible problem. Recently i heard of someone having to do an alignment on their 38 that came on a decoy. I'm not sure what they meant by "alignment. I was thinking maybe a bushing alignment"? Idk, but it does sound like there is atleast another case similar to...
