“My bike bottoms out so hard” Mont-Sainte-Anne Is Gnarly

My bike bottoms out like Like I can't tell you and that's straight away from the stevie smith rock drop until when you go in the rock garden Like my bike bottoms, I think six times So hard that it feels like it's going to come into pieces and like i'm you Yeah, thanks But you go to mount st. Anne and No matter how stiff you think your bike is or like how? How dial do you think your setup is two spring rates right right then two spring rates and 10 psi in the fork easy and then the thing still feels like Yeah, I got a bottom out so hard off that ski jump. It feels like like vertebrae are gonna go in my shoe And then we're t-ball crafts when you drop like you're ripping You do that like ski jump bike bottoms twice like and i'm talking like hard Hard metal on metal bottom out you squash the right and then you're breaking and you drop off that Little bit into the uphill before the corner front and rear metal on metal Like hard Like hitting hammer hitting your hammer on the concrete and your bike like every time you bottom out it just like binds up And then it just releases and you don't know what's gonna happen You don't know which way you're going dude, it's My bike like I said, this is not a bike setup This is not the people at home don't really understand the forces And the shaft speeds you hit on that track like when you're doing 65k an hour and you bottom out It's gnarly It's freaking heavy Pretty sick. Honestly sick feeling though. Like you're just holding on the dog is eating and you're Just trying to keep it pointed in the right direction so gnarly Probably the sickest feeling of any world cup track I think possible like terrifying. Yes but when you scrub that thing underneath the ski lift, it's like You feel like a bad dude. Mm-hmm I bet that's that is one thing that oh, you know, you don't realize about that 3d realize But you don't think about as much as watching clips is that yeah everyone in the gandhi is just staring at you and when you come into the open bit you kind of have that like Shoulder shrug feeling like all right, here we go. I'm about to yeah, I gotta show up, you know I can't look like i'm not going fast. You can't look like a squid under the lift because everybody on the gandhi's watching you that that's Max's make or break section is the whole open bit right there because I feel like it's it Connects the upper woods and the lower woods and it's so high speed that if you don't have a good Ski hill bit it kind of throws off your flow for lower down And it's gnarly so like yeah, you can botch a section but yeah Yes, it's so sick. So sick I think that Like when you talk about mont-saint-anne and you talk about these world cup tracks But you talk about mont-saint-anne you're saying like how tired are you at the bottom like you're pulling like the g-forces that you feel like it's like you're like the deciding factor of if you can go faster in a section like that is like If you can hold yourself up and not your have your arms buckle it's like Somebody just drop like drops 225 on the bench press and you got to try to keep it from hitting your chest, you know like it's it's pretty gnarly like I mean granted some dudes rep 225, but it's uh I don't I do not but those impacts are Your eyes are shoving like your eyes want to close when you hit some of those It's hard to like keep your eyelids open pretty wild Sick stuff that is world cup downhill racing is sick. You can't do that on a bicycle Anywhere, maybe schladming or morzine are the only two places that I think Like I mean, there's a couple other places, right? But like that you can go buy a bike park lift ticket and go that fast and hit things that hard well, then you add on the fact that you're
