Next few weeks I'm going to plan a kayak/boating day at monksville. Will have to nail a day down soon as rentals go quick there. Maybe we can plan a rafting trip depending on everyone's skill level

A I will borrow my pops kayak and join awesome B tubing with beer sounds better better lol. This is OOS right?
 
So I would like to make it clear OOS has invaded Poland near the site of the former German invasion and while we have similar goals of taking over the world our beliefs are quite different. OOS believes in inclusion joy happiness and riding MTB.

I spent MDW in Poland MtbIng and at a reenactment of the invasion to start WWII pretty cool weekend. We got there late so we had to sit on the German side. Interestingly it was Germans in tanks against Poles on horseback.

How was the ebike on the climbs?

Honestly they are very cool made the climb as fun as down hill on full blast, but you really cant ride that way if you want the battery to last more than 30 min. It's a great tool for a day like I had today where I basically shuttled myself up a mountain to make 5-6 runs without it I would be lucky to get 2, but you suffer when going back down hill. They are heavy and I really wasnt comfortable on the downhills. I got more used to it but kept missing my bike.

That brings me to the next weird thing. While I had a FS bike I hated it unless the rear was either locked or cut in half. I struggled in the gnar which there was some serious gnar and hated it in the flow. Gotta start to demo I may not be interested in FS, I kept wishing I had my bike because I would be so much faster. That could also be the weight.

My opinion is that anyone against am ebike hasnt ridden one. They are really useful but with their drawbacks and honestly couldnt imagine using one in many parks in NJ even as Inget older but RW wayway are 2 that come to mind large parks that you need to work for the down hill

So I finally got to Enduro Trails in Bialsko Biala Poland. They spoke English which was sweet, they no longer rent Whyte so didnt get to try that put but the had. Giant Trance Pro Ebike. Since the section of the park I was riding, in fact most of the park isnt lift assisted I decided to rent that. It was def the right choice, not because they are so great but with the climb to get to the top of the trails it allowed me to make 5 or 6 runs instead of 2.

The ride has been posted to strava or will eventually once it syncs check it out sorry will attach link later. Here are a couple pics

This probably deserves a much better write up especially since it is my first bike park experience and Ebikeas well but dont have the time at the moment.

Check out my activity on Strava: https://strava.app.link/e6UAp4J61W

Agreed. EBikes are fun but have some limitations due to weight. Should be a minimal difference by the time I am ready for one in the next 15-20 years.

Needs better setup. Maybe a tad more air in the shocks or less air in tires. I've always liked theGiant maestro linkage

No didn’t plan ahead and borrow a camera wish I did the trails were bad ass. I hit all but 1 of the ones I wanted to, but the wife is ok with me going back if weather and time permits. It was cool she was so excited for me to MTB and enjoy in her home country I was surprised. Little does she know I am landing to get another bike for our trips here.

My 2 favorite trails were stary zailoney(old crazy) which was a tough but fun tech trail and twister which was all flow. I was surprised how much better I felt and nice I shut off the rear shock on the flow and also tech trails.

Bottom line, still better than climbing up 5 times.

I am not totally sure, there was a lot going on with the weight of the ebike and my experience hitting things on a FS. It felt great going up def need to demo bikes and specially non ebikes since I will not be buying one for a while. Will def rent one here every time though

For that rental price, doesn’t pay to buy.
 
Rentals are the way to go in Poland. In comparison, a carbon 105 equipped road bike in China costs about $300 to rent for a weekend and a decent MTB rentals are non-existent. Reason why I ended up bring two hardtails there and left with my in-laws

Unfortunately That's the way it was in real life. That's a Panzerkampfwagen Mk 2 in the picture. very accurate in the markings on the tank as the Germans only used the solid cross on their tanks during the Polish campaign.
