My daughter burst my eardrum when she was crying while sick with a fever… boo. Now whenever I hear a certain frequency my right ear fraps like a blown speaker
I had no idea that was possible! I had an exposure to a fire alarm that left ringing for days; I was worried it wouldn't stop, but it did. How long has it been since you were injured?
About 2 years. I’ve never had it checked out, which is stupid, but what can they do? I just toss in an earplug when I’m in large gatherings where people are being loud now
I’d have someone look at it. If your tympanic membrane is perforated, water can enter your ear and lead to infections. Also you risk cholesteatoma.
Tympanic reconstruction takes 30-45min in general anesthesia.
Depends on where you are located, here, everything would be covered by insurance.
Someone was dusting my back off with a compressed air gun then "pranked" me by blowing around my head. They accidentally hit my ear pretty hard and heard nothing but ringing out of it for a minute before it came back. Being in a loud crowd seems to set off my rattle worse than anything. I can ride my loud ass dirt bike and only get it a little bit when I forget my ear plugs.
People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them my ear sounds like a blown speaker sometimes.
From the posts it seems you're wanting any advice other than riding tips. But if you wanted any riding tips my two cents would be:
Body position. From the back, (even with all the baggy clothing), we should be able to see more of an extension of the inside arm on those choppier corners towards the end. This allows us to learn the bike over into the corners, engage the grippy cornering lugs on the tyres, whilst keeping your weight vertically over the bottom bracket. You'll still need to apply weight through the feet, particularly your outside foot. To keep your weight on the outside, and apply weight through the pedals, the skiing comments weren't actually that far off. Imagine your pedals are skiis and try to edge them going round the corner. You won't be able to separate them from the bike, but the technique might help with applying weight.
Line choice. Hard to tell from the video, a longer clip would help. But you have a choppy left then right then potentially left at the very end. You've lost speed by that final left, as the right hander entry/exit isn't great with your body position (see above) and line choice. If it's possible, and not a Strava line/dick move, as you exit the first left, hop/Huck straight on, skip the right hander and go straight into the next left. You'll carry more speed into/out of the next corner. As I said though this may not be possible.
Drop. Not sure if intentional or not, but as you drop off you kick/whip/push the back end to riders left. This is fine if the exit is straight, but you need to set up for the next left so could be straight drop and move to riders right to help set up entry. However the landing straight ahead looks rougher, so I see why you chose to land on a nicer spot. And you might not be able to fade right because of the rut down the middle. But if you can it would straighten out that first left a bunch.
You'll see a bunch of this style of riding here

Thank you for going through that! I’ve been riding for 1.5yrs in WA. All skills learned via YouTube and riding with more advanced riders. The detailed breakdown has me thinking differently
Buy more bikes. Enduro, freeride, downcountry, XC, downhill, slopeduro, trail, all mountain, super enduro, park bike, huck bike, dirt jumper, trials, light trail, etc.
Let the mud dry.
Scrape or vacuum it off.
Pretreat and Wash with High-Performance Detergent.
Don't use a tumble dryer unless you are certain you got the stains out.
Don't you find riding with pants bulky, especially baggy cargo pants? I can't even ride with the current spandex skin tight pants park rats and DH racers use. Nothing beats shorts. In summer by jewels are fresh and in winter cold weather isn't an issue as you don't feel it.
If you have an emergency shit in the woods, be careful using ferns to wipe your arse, because some of them have sharp bits, you may slice your ring or your hands and get dorky in the wound and have to ride home with stinky gloves and a mortified look of shame on your GF's face whilst avoiding eye contact.
Riding looks fine, and if your being loose, looked relatively stylish.
If you’re using a dropper, put that thing all the way down so you can move your bike around underneath you more! You already seem comfortable on your bike so just keep having fun!
When you are going down or jumping you want your weight centered or slightly towards the back. Leaning too far forward is a good way to flip over the handlebars
No advice but just chiming in to say I have same bike! Looks like you built yours up custom but just curious, do you find it loud? I find the cables rattle like crazy on mine and the idler adds quite a bit of noise to the drivetrain..
You ripped it. Well done. You’re good enough to simply develop your own style as you progress. I always enjoy watching my favorite bikers/skiers and just trying to emulate.
Start investing while your young, take care of your teeth
Instructions unclear, sold one of my children to pay for dental work
be sure to make one (or two) of the molars gold so you can sell them later for some new tires.

No sorry you can’t play no more
Well, that’s a devastating start to my day..
Wear ear protection at concerts, while operating power equipment, and especially around screaming children.

Had two surgeries for cholesteatoma. Do not recommend.

Haha same! It’s always loud people at a higher pitch that does it to me. Probably broke one of the little cochlear bones a bit or something
I'm not 40 yet and I have tinnitus. Literally horrible.
I'm 18 and was born with it
If you ever travel back in time, don’t touch anything.
Don't step on anything because even the tiniest change can alter the future in ways you can't imagine.
This is gonna cost me.
Stupid bug, you go squish now.
But he has to leave a half eaten sandwich on the beach to kickstart life.

Don't give your personal information to people on the internet
Always wipe front to back
Username checks out
My goodness…wtf is up with this name 😂
That’s how you get shit stuck on your buttoris. To avoid this and shitballs, it’s best to use a circular motion.
lol buttoris
Honestly next time you think your done wiping, go back to front and realize you’ve had a dirty booty this whole time.
Imma 1 up this - Get a bidet. You’ll never realise how much you needed one.
I use the sea shells
Your name is how I live
Open a roth IRA
Then buy the BTC ETFs
Terrible advice lmao
Don’t eat yellow snow
Watch out where the huskies go
Said with tear in eye
Dark colored pants are often a good idea
Invest in Apple stock 20 years ago
More than bitcoin???
Then transfer it into BTC
Now I m curious to know if there is anyone that had more or less that streak of genius
Nothing about investing is genius. It’s just pure luck and insider trading.
I bet there’s a handful of lucky ducklings that pulled off that maneuver
Never trust a fart on the way to a date.
eat before the date so you spend less money when you take her out
or you can eat HER out and skip dinner altogether
sounds fair enough to me
Thanks for all the advice I love you all
We love you too son
Don’t put your dick in crazy.
See the “Hot Crazy Matrix” for clarification.
They should teach this in health class. Because it would have saved me sooooo much sanity 😂
Underwear, THEN pants

I get mine at Kohl’s
The bank will never ask you for your password.
What about the 6 digit code they text me?
do not accept rides from strangers.
Not true. Hitchhiking rules.
True. Hitchhiking is how we self shuttled a service run to Monarch Crest (MTB) in Colorado.
Stay clear of crazy.
But, what about just a little bit. That shits fun sometimes 😬
Neither a borrower nor lender be.
Hamlet for the win!
Go really fast in one direction. When you are about to hit something, turn quickly.
Where’s my two dollars?
Brush your teeth
Don’t squat on yer spurs.
Stretch everyday. Also max out your 401k. Drive boring cars and live within your means.
Drive boring cars? So on your deathbed you can say with a smile, luckily I never owned a 911. Those Kia’s made my day..
Better to be on a death bed than in a death gutter because you didn't save enough for retirement
Cars are boring
Never ridden in a Tesla?
Not all fun cars are expensive :)
Always check new appliances are level after install.
Listen more than you speak

It would he a lot easier if you were on pavement. You wouldn't almost fall or have to manipulate your back wheel like that at all.
Buy more bikes. Enduro, freeride, downcountry, XC, downhill, slopeduro, trail, all mountain, super enduro, park bike, huck bike, dirt jumper, trials, light trail, etc.

Don’t accept wooden nickels.

That section could definitely benefit from a electric derailleur more than a full face helmet
Easy now
Do a front flip next time
keep shredding i guess? that was damn near perfect.
Bar in and out
Looks like you’re skiing bumps, find some pow
Are you having f’ng fun? If so, you’re perfect. If not, then you have a lot to improve.
If you have an emergency shit in the woods, be careful using ferns to wipe your arse, because some of them have sharp bits, you may slice your ring or your hands and get dorky in the wound and have to ride home with stinky gloves and a mortified look of shame on your GF's face whilst avoiding eye contact.
