YUP.
Don’t quit Yuka. Just take it slow without taking risks. Or you can start doing more cross country style and more uphills so you can exercise even better .
I think I met Eric when you were hurt long ago? I could be wrong, but the guys there were talking about you. You broke your neck and every one was quiet. Every one was like .” I hope she gets better”. Then Eric and another man went down the mountain two people on one bike. Eric was sitting on the guys handle bars going down hill and they broke a carbon front wheel. The parking lot was so fun. Wish you were there. Do you know what he does when you are hurt? lol. it was joke in parking lot . He confess he did not sit on the hands bars.There was no 2 people on one bike. But they were just saying a funny story how the wheel break. Every one that parked close eat lunch together and make friends , Trucks , Mustangs and cool cars. I think you guys should stop doing jumps or drops. My local park is Thunder Mountain. I stay off anything made of wood. A man told me I have no balls because I will not go down Fort hill. He says it’s a mental thing. No, it’s not like that at all. I have more balls doing what I want. And I am always in the parking lot at the end of the day having a fun cook out. I know I can take classes and get the skills to do fort hill. But one crash can ruin the next 50 years . I am 54. I plan to mountain bike when I am 104. I hope you guys have long career biking. Have a happy new year Eric and Yuka.
Good morning, Yuka. What a nice video! Thanks for sharing; I felt like you brought us along on your camping trip- what a beautiful spot! I feel like meditation is like a muscle, or like mtb; the more you practice, the stronger you get, and, after taking time off, you are a noobie again! If I stop riding for a week, getting back on I’m like, “What is this? How do I this? Oh, right…” 😂😏 Have a great day!
I am totally with you. I broke my collar bone in half the first week of September 2022. At age 55 I am not going to ride outside till Feb 2023. Luckily I have a peloton. I was able to hike in Tucson over Thanksgiving 7 days in a row with two of the hikes being over 20 mile each. However biking outside is slowing getting accepted in my brain. I have several mountain and gravel bike races planned in 2023 starting March through July. I think by the time March rolls around I will be healed enough to mentally accept the dangers of riding outside again. However I may just ride XC, road, and gravel in 2023 and do more hiking. I had a BC mountain biking vacation scheduled for Sept 2023 but I changed the BC plans to through hiking the Grand Canyon South to North and back in two days instead. I wish you well and be safe!
this is the fear for everyone, I got hit by a car when I was younger, terrible accident to the point where I would start shaking before I crossed the street, had a scooter that I crashed and went over the handlebars, had a road bike that I also crashed and went over the handlebars, all that stuff is years apart from each other but it really sticks in your mind. Can’t live life defined by fear barriers but no reason to go looking for pain, I like to ride and try new things but if I feel like I’m too tired or not at the skill level, I don’t mind noping out real quick. Glad you’re getting over some of the fear and getting back into it
Keep riding Yuka, you’re awesome! 😀
I have several observations Yuka: 1. YOU are a fantastic rider! I see you riding sh!t I’d be terrified to do as a man who’s been riding for 30+ years! 2. EVERYONE needs a break, I personally take 6 weeks to 3 months off riding per year to reignite the fire but I’m still going to the gym, working on my ranch, fasting, yoga to stay in shape 3. fear is NORMAL! Just don’t ride such crazy sh!t! Figure out where your limits are and stick to them. 4. I set goals every year that are born out of my brief breaks from riding that re-inspire me.
I recently had my first ride back after 4 months of recovery from an injury. I felt the same way you did but it has gotten better every ride. I am so much more thankful now for my health and just glad to be able to ride easier trails again.
Nothing like a serious injury to make you question your hobby/passion! Going for your first ride in icy and snowy conditions might have not been the best choice for your first ride 🤣 Be kind to yourself and stick with it Yuka!!
Step off the escalator and just enjoy riding for riding. You don’t have to hit bigger jumps and keep pushing the envelope.
broke my neck in july biking, i certainly have changed the way i approach riding far more tenative on the downhills now. i get a lot of questions why i keep riding and playing hockey after being so close to paralyzed but my take on the matter is why live life in a bubble you got a chance to enjoy life and the activities you love carry on doing it, just make appropriate informed decisions in what you choose to do, dont have to be “full send” 24×7
Very proud of your strength.
You removed your front wheel while camping- is this to prevent a possible (even if unlikely) easy theft? 🤔 Best wishes with your ongoing recovery!
I broke my wrist going OTB when I hit an unseen log in the brush – on my wife’s bike, heading to the campsite washroom 😂 Great to see you getting “back on the horse” – and you can decide what level of risk you want to engage in for the future. You’re an inspiration to us all 😊
The hardest skill to master in mountain biking or any extreme sport is knowing your ability, knowing when you are tired or not mentally at that point and cutting back or waking away on that day/feature/whatever. Best of luck with the recovery, stay positive.
It’s the fear. Bitch slap it and jump back on.
Try to ride few times in a pump track , you will get back on jumps and technique more quicker then in a trail 🙂
Think there’s a point where all mountain bikers should halt progression if it gets too risky.
I love your videos, Yuka. I hope you continue to regain your confidence.
