As a foreigner in Chengdu it's hard to find others interested in the same sort of riding I would like to do (Still think of myself as a beginner). Everyone has a mountain bike but only wants to ride on the road. This video gives me hope and someday I hope to progress like 薛威豪 here. Thank you for the video, hope to see many more!
Thanks dude! Yep, it's true that most mountain bike owners prefer to ride on the road, which we call them "山马党 (Shan ma dang)". Anyway, just keep riding with your own style and they won't understand that piece of mind brought by true mountain biking. If you are interested, maybe we can set you up with some downhill/enduro riders in Chengdu.
Wow, that would be great! I'm definitely interested in meeting others. I only moved over to Chengdu a year ago so it would be great to hear from others in our sport regarding places to start, activities, tournaments and the like. In the meantime I'll keep getting up at 5am to practice track stands and other basic skills first, haha.
Haha, that will make you a really hard work rider. I believe @wrcer can introduce you to local mtb community if he would like to. Meanwhile I'll also try to contact some more local riders.
@Skylight, I lived in Chengdu for a few years, there is quite a bit of riding if you look for it. Video is from Chengdu and I don't recognize the trails so they've been doing work since I left! Looks like you can get some contacts but if you want PM me and I can send you some GoogleEarth files with pins where I used to ride.
@KonaChina Thanks for the help, especially for the video - was a great inspiration. I noticed it was in Chengdu, and looks a little like a trail near 龙泉驿 that I was taken to by a new friend.
@stephenhoward That would be great bud! I've just sent you a message.
@wrcer Yes I use wechat, and you can feel free to use Chinese if you prefer . My wechat is: xietianhao13. Thank you!
@KonaChina , that is very nice video! I hope it will inspire more riders to ride off-road. Since I'm new here, I need a specific location/name or gps points?
I'm wandering is there any Beijing riders here? I really like to meet up and ride together.
Thanks dude! We really want to show this to worldwide users but unfortunately the original video without subtitles were lost, so there is no room for English subtitles. Please looking forward to the kid's next short film!
The Kona Long Sweet Ride!
