Here's mountain biking Pigsknuckle, but to be fair both of these are from late winter where we look our worst.

Anything you'd recommend when I get back down there? Keep in mind I'm old and #1 priority is not getting hurt. I've seen bits and pieces of the dirt trails and some of it looks pretty intense. |

Sounds like you need a trip to the Southwest some winter to do some biking.
Neat stuff and cool bike. |

The Back 40 Loop is pretty awesome, and it has some features similar to what you posted there, but they're always optional. Here's a good sampling from a ride there: You probably don't want to do Coler, hah (this guy is from KC, and his channels is great. He posts some great videos of the trails around there):

I went with this one. In the proper red color I might add! Tried a DS model and a couple different 820s. One I can't remember the model but I liked the marlin 4 the best so I got one

It fits the budget I set and gave me a good workout when I road it. The tires are wide enough it's more sturdy feeling to me. Shock was stiffer than the 820 but it could have been the wheels. The 820 had 26 and the one I got has 29" as the only option. The bigger tires felt better for some reason. Most likely due to the lead in my ass!

Here's some clips from our ride in Costa Rica. People are crazy into cycling here. It's very interesting.

Nice looking bike booger. I got a DS 8.3. It's the nicest bike I've owned ever.
Just make sure you get the seat set right. I'd been doing it wrong all these years and it makes a giant impact on the ride. |

Thanks man! I definitely got to get a seat upgrade. My ass and taint are getting sore already. Otherwise it's just a matter of having the seat level isn't that right?
