I'm a 80s/90s Adult and mtn. biker, that's retired now and due to heart issues, have switch over to 20" fat-tire e-bikes, but still have my Cannondale Super V , & GT RTS mountain bikes. My first bike was a Stingray banana seat 20" Huffy bike and since then I've always ridden bikes, motorcycles. At 67, I've never lost the FUN FACTOR of biking. 😊

Right on! I go back and forth with a full sus and a hardtail. The hardtail keeps me honest. Slows me down, feel the terrain more.

Love to hear about the changes in your health! Got off my mountain bike years ago due to a lack of good local trails but riding on the road 8-10 hrs a week has done wonders for my physical and mental health, and just better overall lifestyle choices. Plus it's fun as hell going fast on a bike, even if I am 40 😅. Another vote for more bike content!

I’m 40 since June 22 2024 , and I bought myself an EVIL faction 2 with about $500 worth of DEITY upgrades.. I’ve always been a skateboard guy, but this journey into dirt jumping / hardtail MTB has been so much fun!! I feel better physically and mentally .. next step is to cut back on the beers before bedtime lol!! 😂 but I’m on my way to a healthier and happier lifestyle ! If I could go back in time, I would have gotten into biking a whole lot more!!

42…also got back into bikes a couple yrs ago. Got a Santa Cruz full suspension mtb that I ❤ Stoked you like em too!

That intro is so relatable! "bikes, bikes, bikes, bikes, bikes" *gets license* "whats a bike?" I've done the opposite to you over the last few years, I bought a basic Roscoe in 2020 then got a used Specialized Camber full sus off a friend, the Roscoe was more fun to throw around downhill but the baloon tyres make it feel so slow everywhere else compared to the Specialized's narrower 29's

Dave- good on you for getting back into riding and enjoying the thrill of it. I bought a new Scott full suspension 29er a few years ago to get back into mountain biking, as I used to race for quite a few years, but then lost interest. The new technology is incredible and makes riding so much more fun. I converted both my old 26" hardtail & other full suspension to 1x drivetrain and really enjoy riding both of those as well. The hardtail is a blast at the local bike park as it is so much lighter than the FS and just quicker to throw around in the berms and quick hits. Enjoy the trails, and keep up the hustle! Looking forward to watching the next videos, as I'm a bit behind.... lol

I have had a ton of different bikes but bought an Ibis Ripmo a few years back and I am loving it. I wasn’t sure if I would love a full carbon bike but it has been great. At 53 my back and body aren’t what they used to be so a full suspension is kind of a necessity to keep me riding often. Much love from the NorthEast for the dirt heads that ride bikes! Keep it up!

Dave, Great to see you doing MTB content! I'm with you on hardtail bikes. I grew up with my legs as suspension and full-suspension bikes feel unresponsive to me... I'm about 10 years older and 10 years deeper into the mountain-bike rabbit hole... I've found the 29er wheels roll over rocks and stumps better than the rest... and finding a 29er frame with a short chain stays makes the bike nimble like a smaller bike. As a gearhead... my current bike is all parts I picked and put together. I suspect you'll end up the same way if you stay on the trails. Ready for more MTB vids! 🤘 Be safe!

Awesome Dave, I've been cycling a lot since my teens. I built a super high end MTB 20 years ago but barely took it off road and mostly stuck to road bikes. About 5 years ago I built a fat bike and that's been so amazingly fun. I wouldn't have believed it from looking at it but the traction and stability are so confidence inspiring and being fully rigid I think helps with the technique. I've also found that since getting the fat bike my skill and confidence on the motorbikes has increased by a huge margin, I never had a motorbike growing up and have very little off-road experience so now am planning on getting a 300 cc dual sport

I've got a Roscoe 8. Awesome bike! Ride it much more than my full suspension. Love the bike content.

Also fun to see the trail system I ride often. I'm surprised to see you hitting all that rocky gnar on your hardtail! This really makes me want to get a Roscoe...I just got a brand new Slash, and it's so damn good, but something about reconnecting with the trail on a hardtail is really appealing right now...well, you get it. I would highly recommend getting a chest mount for future riding videos, with superview and hyper stabilization enabled on the GoPro. Really makes for an immersive experience. Also, there's a group of rowdy but chill riders who ride those trails every Wednesday evening, so if you're interested in sharing the stoke, look up Mountain Junkie Wednesdays!

Doesn’t matter how old the bike is. Really nice tires and new chain help, but if the bike fits and works, its good.

We’re here for it! Get into fishing as well, i’ll sit and watch that too 😂

What about skiing… that might have to make the channel in the winter months

Dave, 45, Idaho, bikes, 4x4… literally like looking in the mirror. Fun episode for me!!

Right on! So many of us on the same page

I got a Roscoe 8 last May (2023, so I paid more than you 😂)to replace my 1996 Nishiki Rigid. Needless to say, HUGE upgrade. I may have been sucked in by specs (4 piston calipers? Yes please! ) I’ve not gotten to ride as much as I’d like, plus I don’t have quite the biking background you do (and I’m 12 years older) so it’s definitely overkill, but I do dig it! I just can’t ride like you. I don’t wanna break a hip! Just lose some weight and gain some lung capacity. Great content. Keep it up. I’m gonna watch the painting a bike video next. Seems like a great opportunity for the Nishiki!

Just ride when you can . You don’t have to go for the gold

Man…. So grew up riding and racing motocross. Got my drivers license and my first 4x4(samurai) got out of moto for a bit while working 7 days a week as a heavy equipment mechanic. Got back into moto in my 30’s then had kids and got into mountain bike hardcore because it’s less time consuming. Built my own custom hardtail and full suspension bikes. Then got back into 4x4’s again. I swear if we weren’t on opposite sides of the country I’d say we were twins separated at birth.
