Strava, get busy, no need for helmet sensor..... Just incorporate into phone accelerometer

My first crash with this system, looking down I see that cable ripped from the front fork. Connector bent, Now what?

At 6:57, comparing 4 riders starting all at the tree. Then a short section of course later comparing who's further down the course. The issue is that at the starting point, yes they are all at position 0, the tree. However, they are also at 4 different speeds. It would be better to compare differential speeds through the section. Computing ground speed using 2 trees at start of section then ground speed at end of section.

Nice riding, some amazing trails, where are they?

Kudos, to those that completed that amazing adventure !

4:00 Tailwhip 360 or whatever you call it, Something you rarely see in MTB videos, Poetry! Makes me want to buy the bike so I can throw one.

Wow, blown away, don't move from this place.

Can anyone comment on the center of gravity for a 29" bike versus 27.5". And does it matter? Does a 29 have a higher cg and therefore takes more leaning angle to compensate in the turns? Same for high travel forks etc. Low cg should be able to handle turns easier it seams.

Can someone tell me if the high dollar electronic shift systems continue to use the spring inside the derailleur? I assumed they did away with that to minimize the mechanical load on the system. Here the D1X uses the derailleur unmodified, so battery drain on the system pulling on the massive spring load of the derailleur.

Clincher for me: "Using his own manpower, along with a shovel, pic axe and some water — water he carries into the desert using 5-gallon buckets " Volume of earth moved is very impressive.!
