“And remember… think before send.” I’ll try. Half the fun is trying not to think while riding.
You don’t gotta go big girl
Do professional rider Training with a mental component like the one Roxybikes offers. It helps a TON.
And regarding the not thinking anything: Its very hard. Get a teacher for that!
Mountain biking is definitely for you yuka, I think you just need to stop trying features outside of your skill level
nice full face
MTBing is loop of: building confidence building confidence building confidence, injury, back to a lower level, then building confidence, building confidence etc etc. Until one day you work out where the limits are. If you are a racer then that’s impossible but if you are just riding then it can be a serious injury free sport. Obviously you’re gonna have little offs and also some unlucky injuries but they are much less frequent.
After 3 accidents, I could barely do any Bunny hops, no strong pulling on the handlebar, shoulder strength was gone, hand gripping on both hands was greatly reduced. But I will progress little by little, it took 1-2 years to get back to the old stuff. It WILL come, but maybe slower than you think. Many active people reinjure themselves trying to get back too soon(Runners, MTB, weight lifters, etc). Slow progression, weights/rehab, stretching. My hand took about 1-2 years to come back. Shoulders are still weaker. Push ups hurt like hell at first. I could not do them at all for 8 months. As your body heals up, it forms new tissue to replace the torn muscles, bones and tendons. While they might be “healed” they are still very new and not strong yet. They need time to to slowly get back into it. Our minds think we can much sooner. Running I pulled my calf, A level 1 strain, I went out since it felt great 4-5 days later for a walk to help loosen up the leg. That strained those new fibers and I hobbled back with a level two strain. I then waited 3 weeks and did shorter easier walks for 2 weeks. After 4 weeks, then I’d take the longer walks, then added a few 100 meter easy running every 1 mile or so. Then I would run 200-400 meter every mile or so of a 4-6 mile walk after 5-6 more days. In another week, Ill try running 1-2 miles. 6-8 weeks I’ll be back to 4 to 6 mile runs and another 1-2 more weeks, the 8 milers. And that was just a muscle strain. Pull a tendon, break a bone, it’ll be longer. But main point here is to give yourself patience to heal fully and progress little by little. If you honestly want to get back to similar riding, that will be key.
Broke my radius and ulna 20 years ago. Over the bars incident. Compound fracture that needed a cut and paste from my hip. Now road cycling and gravel cycling. No more MTB.
Just stop doing jump trails. There are so many other types of trails out there
Hey just discovered your channel! Awesome video and I must say you are one bad ass awesome woman. After healing from your accident you rode for many kilometers in the mountain wilderness to camp by yourself in the middle of winter. That is awesome and inspires me to do a similar adventure. I too also broke my hand from a MTB crash 6 years ago. After 6 weeks of healing I got on the bike and I wasn’t too scared but my skills defiantly wasn’t on par as I was scared of falling again in a rock garden. Your crash was crazy though compared to mine and I can definetaly see why you were terorfied to ride again but I’m so proud that you got yourself on your bike again to ride. Keep it up and take 1 ride at a time slowly and soon you’ll be back at your riding prime. I’m going to start going watching your videos 😁
jumps are for kids and the thrill seekers , mountain biking is still fun with out BIG AIR , do what you feerl is right for you , it’s your life after all
Hi Van Yuka. Winter is more slippery. Where can we order one safe cloth as michelin puppet??
You have to remember for the majority of us,jumping is …shit,far to much consequence,especially the older we get and the trails your fella builds are ridiculously over difficult,if u get 1 section to slow you’re fucked for the next,just boring. Just do the tech cruising 🙂 also get an ebike,scant afford one but I reckon u might he able to,especially with Mr youtubes help
Great videos. Real life struggles is what people relate to. Me for sure,
so many of us have been there, we all get where you are coming from.
I have badly injured myself twice doing the things I love. I broke my leg while mountain biking several years ago, and this past Spring I ruptured my ACL and tore the meniscus in my knee while ski touring. I started mountain biking again once my leg was healed, and plan to do the same with skiing. I use these sports as a tool to get out into the backcountry, which is my true love.
So happy to see you back on bike. Just get some more riding done and confidence will return and the injuries will be forgotten.
日本は食べ物美味しくて、インフラが安定していて安全だけど、ゆかさんの動画でカナダなどの広大な自然見ると、移住したくなりますねぇ、、、
ちなみに新しいiPhoneは、自転車のブレにも耐えられるんですね。日本のニュースでバイクのエンジンの振動などが、ブレ防止機能の部品に悪影響与えると言っていました。多分、アップルの公式サイトにも書いてあると思いますが。気をつけて〜。
Being 62 years young I think after a serious crash you just have to not overthink riding.
Just DO IT!
Happy to see you back Yuka. Enjoy!!!!!
A crash like this throws you back.
To me meditation sucks. What helps me is to figure out what went wrong and how I can avoid doing the same mistake again.
All the best to you and your husband.
