I’m more worried about being able to afford to mountain bike. Just dropped a lot of money to upgrade my brakes, and got the message from the shop that 1) my rear shock has some play and that the eyelet has been “ovalled” so they can’t replace the worn bearing ($600 fix), and 2) that my rear hub needs to be replaced as well as there is shifting problems (another $250).
=(
Give it a couple months and you’ll be just as good as you were.
Edit: buy a bike with internal frame storage and fill the storage with no more crash charm things
You are doing great in your comeback, slow and easy working your way back into it ~ Camping in the cold forest by yourself was very brave ~ Keep moving forward ~ I enjoy your videos, very entertaining ~ 🙂
I’m so happy to see Yuka on the bike again. Hope she keeps riding because I really enjoy her videos, hopefully no more injuries ever again
awesome love it you go girl 👍
I broke 2 vertebra in April. I’m getting back to where I was before, but I’ve had some really enjoyable rides this year, and I’ve also learned that I can have fun even when I’m not pushing the limits.
I’ve even found that by consciously riding slowly carefully and accurately, as my back has got better I’m actually feeling more composed and consistent, and actually feel placed to build on this and be a better rider in 2023. Just as fast, but with a healthier attitude towards those risks that I don’t have to take!
Thank you so much Yuka for sharing with us.
I am a 71yr rider who doesn’t want to go OTB again. I love riding up and down the steep mountain trails, in fact sometimes I enjoy the climb as much (more?) than the flying down.
And, for me, biking is meditation.
So here we are in Thailand for 2 months and I left my beloved Commencal in Oregon. SO – I bought a carbon fiber Neuron!!! Lots of XC – but much rural rock trails and terrible roads. And biking is meditation. The rhythm of the breathing and movement is almost out of body. I love mtnbiking.
And I see the same in you Yuka.
I feel you.
I had a dislocated left thumb 2 years ago (didn’t let go of the bar crashing into the ground). My mind was really badly injured as never before. Breaking a scapoid or an ellbow wasn’t nearly half as bad. Last year was terrible i was like a complete beginner…or even worse…i have never been that afraid as a beginner This season i am slowly coming back and i am so happy riding my bike. So don’t quit, be patient, your brain will heal, too. But it will take some time.
Maybe investing in a little wrist brace could be a good idea , just incase , coz even the most tiny fall, what’s gonna happen , your gonna put your hands out to stop yourself , so wearing one might be the answer till it’s 100%
the bike packing trip looked real fun
You had a bad crash and you won’t let it happen again so go forward with confidence.
We all crash and get hurt, it’s part of mountain biking and you should be aware that danger since the very first day you went to a bike park. If there wasnt any danger of getting hurt it wouldn’t be as rewarding to push your limits on a bike. We all crash and have to pay that price sometimes with a bad injury which will always happen in a sport like this, it’s how we learn our limits and we push progression.
If you want a safe sport go play golf where injuries are less likely to happen. But we both know you will never get the same rushes we do biking as you will golfing. That’s why we all bike….
What drives me to heal and get healthy as fast as possible is thinking and remembering all the good times on the bike. It helps me get back on the bike asoon as possible after a bad crash everytime.
Lol it’s kinda like life… it can hit hard sometimes but we always get back up 😝.
Think before send. But my thinking skills and my send skills are both kinda sub-par so the results are the same regardless. 🙂 I’ve learned to dial it down like a lot of other commenters here and enjoy the trail more than the big air. Like you say, it’s just nice to be out there, not get covid, and not get fat (or fatter in my case).
Very nice , i like the was you are , someday i want to make same like you.
I’m so happy to see you’re doing well again. There should be an app so people can rate their MTB skills before jumping into situations that could be life treating cause we all think we are way better than the reality. We should look for ways to solve this issue and make tools to prepare us before facing challenging obstacles. All the best and happy holidays!
Wow, you are really amazing and brave. Keep grinding you injure will heal same as your spirit it is just a matter of time.
This is just my opinion as a life long DH and dirt jump rider. But im seeing allot of this in the latest generation of riders, very expensive, sturdy and high travel bikes putting low skill riders on big trails in situations they couldn’t handle on lesser bikes resulting in some really bad times. I love this channel and many others like it but i often find myself cringing when i watch people hitting doubles or hammering tech. You can see there are so many missing fundamentals, in most cases it looks like these riders are barely hanging on. Watching Yuka jump gaps scares the hell out of me, shes flat out dead man casing most of what she hits and even when shes clearing stuff shes doing the same. New expensive bikes are great but im not sure i like what theyre doing to the riding community.
As Dori said…… Just keep riding…. Just keep riding….. Just keep riding…… Just keep riding…..
Greta video Yuka and glad to see you back on the bike 🙂
Any hard crash like you had make the rider think if MTB is not too hard for the body and if he can and will keep riding MTB. The only time in my life I was not riding MTB was when I was out of money to buy a good bike or when I had lower back problems but I fix it, now at age 53 Ive been riding for 34 years DH, Enduro, E-bike, Pumptrack and XC and now I have to do a abdominal hernia surgery so now I have to stop riding for at least 6-9 months and my soul is sad because today I can’t ride my MTB. Everyone has this love for MTB but only time will tell if you gona keep riding, and I think you are going to keep riding. Treat your hand more make a good fisioterapy/exercises make it stronger and without pain when you change gears. MTB is for ever but when someone decide to stop we can understand so… Keep MTBiking for ever🤙🏻.
Use all protections you can have, do some bike school classes for improvement, level your saddle and twist your bars a bit backwards maybe the bike will handle better on descents 🤣✌🏻. God bless MTB.
