Feel Good Friday – Crankbrothers – Loam Ranger – Intimidation

This email is coming to you from one of our favorite coffee shops, Lamppost Coffee in Bonney Lake WA.  The cold brew is flowing! 🙂

Here’s what I found fun, interesting, or noteworthy this week…

Another crazy GOOD customer service experience – 

Crankbrothers bike company

I literally wore down a component on their dropper seat post to the point that bare metal was showing, and when I sent them a picture they just dropped a new part in the mail.  

I am SO impressed with these bike companies, and can only imagine that most people that buy their products don’t ride enough to break them.  So when someone like me does ride a lot and breaks a product they have the budget to just replace it.  My theory… 

Channel I subbed on YouTube – 

The Loam Ranger

They posted a really simple jumping video that made a ton of sense to me, and I was hooked!  After digging into their channel I’m enjoying the location biking videos a lot, and they just did a fun bike build video. 

What I’m stoked/intimidated about – 

Today we are hooking up to ride with a friend that is a SUPER good mountain biker!  He’s won a few enduro races in the last year kinda good.  

I don’t know about you, but I get intimidated when I get the chance to hangout with someone that’s better than me at something.  It’s stupid because every single time it accelerates my learning in a way that could never have happened by myself. 

Do you ever feel this way?

It’s one of my goals to overcome this fear and start learning faster!  

Almost every time I get to know the person that I’m intimidated by, they are awesome people and the intimidation fades almost immediately.  So it’s a fear that makes zero sense. 

Our latest awesome video – 

Rowdy Mountain Biking Grouse Trail – Steamboat – Buffalo Pass Colorado YouTube

This is the FULL video from the Grouse trail that I mentioned last week as the hardest trail we rode all year!  It was just one rocky, steep feature after another!

That’s what I have for you this week.  If you need anything at all, just let me know!  I’ll be riding and then driving for the next few hours but will get back to you as soon as I can. 

Cheers!
