Used Downhill Bike gets Fixed, Ridden, and Named

This story is as much about a used $500 downhill mountain bike as it is about Kevin's progression as a rider. Less than two years ago, Kevin started mountain biking in earnest. Up until that time he had only borrowed bikes and/or ridden casually.
To avoid abusing his enduro bike, Kevin bought a used downhill bike for $500, but it needed some TLC. With a very minimal investment, he and I got the bike running well enough to take to Windrock for a proper test.

    6yrs ago I met a good friend by the name of Mike better known as "six-o" in the messenger industry. We both loved bikes and paintball. Mike rode dh, We began hanging and playing paintball. I mostly rode bmx and wanted to get into mtb. I couldn't afford a good mtb, Mike gave me his v1 transition bottle rocket and said here's a gift I'll help you build it. I know it's an old bike, but I love it. He began to teach me about gears, parts, setups and such. 2yrs ago my friend was killed by cops and I didn't want to ride anymore. But today I am more determined to finishing building this bike in his honor.

    What doesn’t make sense is I don’t even own a bike, yet love this channel. Just a quality tuber.

    I remember Kevin’s first road bike. I worked on it. I sold him some wheels too. 💖

    I never would have guessed Kevin was so new to MTB. Always enjoy your vids and really enjoy seeing you ride with Kevin and Bobo, the three of you guys seem really genuine and always have fun together.
