The guys talk about hitting some of the biggest jumps and drops yet at Mountain Creek Bike Park!  Dan discusses how a gratitude moment put him in the flow state (and saved his day!).  Sage is excited to 'make shapes' in the air and considers mountain bike yoga for his aching back.  Featured Riders: Johnnie U https://www.youtube.com/@MTBQandA Brian https://www.youtube.com/@BandE-MTB Terry https://www.youtube.com/@thaynes1832 Additional Links Fox Rampage Pro Carbon MIPS Helmet: foxracing.com/helmets/mtb/ Mountain Creek Bike Park: mountaincreek.com/bike-park/trail-report-hours/ Reeb Cycles: https://reebcycles.com/ Phoenixville Bike Park: morekidsonbikespa.org/phoenixville-bike-park Phoenixville Bike Park - TrailSage video: https://youtu.be/f4FQOHRWmUM MTB Gratitude of the Week Sage: Terry & David (and the MTB Ethos!). Sage hurt his back at Mt. Penn.  Terry & David didn't hesitate in helping Sage back to his car. These riders embody the spirit and culture of mountain biking.  High stoke, high character and just really kind individuals.  Mountain bikers are awesome!  Gratitude for your help and positivity Terry & David! Dan: Dan's new & super protective downhill helmet is the Fox Rampage Pro Carbon MIPS Helmet. But downhill helmets only come with "D-Ring" fasteners which are extremely difficult/frustrating to hook and unhook with mtb gloves on! Dan did some searching and found an awesome D-Ring replacement on Amazon! There are several types but Dan purchased this unit and it works fantastic! https://amzn.to/4lmVk5k (Affiliate Link) MTB Tip of the Week If you ride with a hip pack or hydration pack carry a small first aid kit with you.  They are not expensive, light and don’t take up too much space.  You never know when you, or a fellow rider, could need it so be prepared. https://amzn.to/47lvDeO (Affiliate Link) The video version of this episode is also available on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/5wGh9VnGp9M The Ride and Laugh podcast is hosted by Dan @the_ride_abides and Sage @TrailSage.  Join us as we discuss all things mountain biking!  Riding technique, MTB gear, bikes, nutrition, fitness, mindset and more!
