i smoked some cones at the top of a gondolla downhill run and sent my rented dh bike off a cliff. fucking hurt too but atleast i didn't break anything or die. it's peak comfy for chill backcountry xc rides (or road riding, or touring, or riding around a city) but getting stoned when you need your best reactions doing anything 'hardcore' is just silly. Like getting stoned at the top of a mountain skiing is amazing but then just relax and flow around, don't push it. I don't get why rocket power tier riding is associated with getting high.
actually just fuck 'hardcore' mtbing like downhill in general. it's just stressful. I don't want to have to choose between riding the brakes or getting air and be on something where riding up a small hill is like riding through sand. Really scenic xc riding is where it's at.
