Air Horn makes the loud noise that lets you know where we're at. Check out where we're at by hearing from your fellow mountain bikers. We discuss various topics, tell stories, and generally have a good chat. Air Horn started as weekly VLOGs on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp3h8ZPgFq97plrnTSX1mBQ/ Why "air horn"? If you've watched my mountain biking videos, you know that I bleep out curse words using the airhorn noise. So while I might not be cursing in these vids, this podcast is about the more raw and unedited content.

    Yeah, I'm gonna talk about Santa Cruz's first eMTB, The Heckler. But we're also getting philosophical about the benefits of the "noob brain" (a.k.a. the beginner's mind) and how I go about trying to get into the noob brain. My general thoughts about The Heckler is really less about the bike and more about our response to the fact that Santa Cruz made an eMTB and how so many had the impression that they'd never do it. I also talk about the price being relatively normal for this kind of bike. I find it interesting how we have these internet-fed opinions when the internet can also be the source of revisiting our opinions and maybe adding some information to, I dunno, maybe inform our opinions. CHANNEL NEWS I am now recording RAW VLOGS on Thursday mornings to reduce the level of stress involved in trying to record, render, and publish these things all before getting to work in the morning. The RAW VLOGs will continue to be raw and unedited, and you still get them Friday mornings. The change means two things: 1. that my Friday mornings will be less stressful and 2. we may be able to make these things a little longer. And actually maybe three things...the third thing being that maybe I won't feel the need to talk so fast to fit a bunch of stuff into less than 15 minutes. STOKE OF THE WEEK My hand has shown zero increase in strength for some time and just recently, I started gaining strength. I dunno what the difference has been, but it feels good to be making progress in the strength department. MAIN SUBJECT : Being an Uncool Noob The main thing in the way of knew knowledge is often the knowledge we already have. And the main things in the way of forming new habits are the habits we already have. Being a noob is a good thing to be because it's the place from which we can learn things. The problem is that as we learn things, we become less of a noob. And this is good, but it can also lead to stale and static thought. And emotionally, this can lead to resistance and frustration when facing information, situations, events that don't square with our existing experience, habits, and knowledge...things that just don't make sense or seem ridiculous. My stance is that by retaining some of the "noob brain", we retain the ability to see things in different ways. And we also retain a sense of curiosity about what we experience...especially when those things seem weird, ridiculous, or just don't make sense. I'm sort of drawn to these things...to new and novel things. But that's just me. I'm not suggesting being like me. I only suggest reducing the stress of WTF moments (or spans of your life) by retaining curiosity, slowing down , and keeping it goofy. With any luck, this might helpful or just entertaining for you.

    Storytime about how back in 2007, I got into mountain biking and why I quit shortly thereafter. We start by remembering the first ride I can recall which was a 32 mile night ride with about 3200 feet of climbing and the next morning another 12 miles and 2500 feet of climbing. And this was actually NOT why I quit. I gave up mountain biking because of a bad crash that resulted from being impatient on the wrong bike with a total lack of skill. And with a torn up face and dislocated finger, I limped my way down. I didn't even like looking at the bike after that. And I quit. Fortunately, I was coaxed back into mountain biking by the prospect of getting out into the forest. I'm stoked to be back in mountain biking and more closely connected to our rad community!

    We all get annoyed by stuff that happens on the trail while mountain biking. I share three things that annoy me. I also share how I deal with it and work to overcome it. I know stuff annoys you too, so please let me know about it in the comments! Please know if you feel like you've done any of the things I am talking about, I'm fully guilty of all these things, and I know it. And as such, I'm not asking for you to change.

    Today we discuss how age affects one's approach to mountain biking. Our point of curiosity concerns the question of how much bike is too much bike. I express gratitude for the level of fitness I have. And I generally ramble like usual. Andy's question: "I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on aging in mtb. I'm 48 and I'm struggling to reassess how I ride. A big crash, injury can have a profound impact. How do older riders evaluate themselves and adjust as we get older?" https://www.instagram.com/ginther.andy/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mtb-alan-air-horn/message
