Same. I am recovering from my tennis elbow and other injuries. If I ride, it’ll be slow ride. Don’t wanna push myself but not like I am an advance rider or anything.

Haven't attempt the gap jumps yet. Takut pokai and left alone in the jungle to rot.

Gap jumps? no thanks.
I will leave these for the youngsters.

Just do the normal jumps and drops is good enough.
Few months ago I crashed hard in Dinding until i crashed down the ravine (Fakawi trail). Took 2 weeks rest to recover. Luckily i was wearing protective gears. just that i crashed and landed hard on my left shoulder. Didn't break though.

That's why for the next few months, i will just do normal XC. I am climbing Mount KK early next year. Wouldn't want to get injured.



you watch Steve Yap channel. Last week he crashed hard after failing to clear a gap.
OUCH!!!!!

@10:30

and Van Gal Yuka crashed hard yesterday. Injured, Broke her tail bone, stick cucuk into her butt. Luckily didn't paralyse.

@4:55 onwards.
scary

100% agree. Gap jumps are insanely dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Stay away from them if you are unsure.

An injury at this age, means weeks/months away from work etc. Cannot bro ahahaha

Oh thats Steve yap. Seen him at kiara.

Thanks for the safety awareness video. I am too old to get injured like this and will probably lose my job if I have to go on long medical leave.
I will take it slow from now on as I sometimes get too excited to try new stuff and bigger jumps.

Just know and ride within your limits.

No need to impress others or get pressured by riding mates.

Good to go with someone who has experience and can guide you.

It took me awhile to take the drop at trail 5 despite me being an advance rider (when I was young I used to trial ride hence my shin got many scars). Just didn't dare mentally. Don't push it.


When can ride with you bro?

I'm a noob so still trying to understand my limits. But I am going to be more cautious from now.

I mostly ride alone and sometimes convince my friend to join. Still relatively new to the sport.
I am rawang area and usually ride here. Have not been to Kiara yet. Will come Kiara after I have more confidence.

Rawang? Never hear any trails there.

I'm suggesting pcp not kiara ahahaha.

Kiara is advance level. Trails have alot roots.. that's where I flipped my bike

Rawang got many unknown trails. Some are maintained, some are not but mostly kelapa sawit trails. The better known ones are in Bukit Kuari and Bukit Beruntung.

PCP too far away, 70km from my place. Will eventually go there once I get into better shape as I saw videos of it and it looks quite nice compared to the trails at my place.

Ahh thanks for sharing. Rawang is damn far for me too so likely won't go there unless the group goes along.

Anyway, happy riding. Hope to ride together 1 fine day.

That cute busty Japanese chick with larger balls than me? I am in awe of her. Seen her many videos previously and she’s brave.

They are doing this to cari makan.
Crashes are worth it. Lol.

Last time she almost broke her neck in a crash. That's why you see her now always wearing a neck brace protector whether she MTB.

Thanks for sharing her channel. Quite fun to watch her "send jt"

Gave me motivation. I'm gonna send it in pcp

I always envy that they have very nice trails there.
Even the new berm peak trail looks fun

Bro
you still MTB?

Sudah kasi bersara. But still can go if got the motivation & mood &....
