In Trailcenters like Trailgound Brilon (I'm from Germany) I ride my Scott Scale 920 (2013) Marzocchi Bomber Z2 (taken from my Trailbike) (Reduced travel to 100mm) Custom Wheels (DT 350 hubs, XR 91 rims, Sapim Laser spokes) SLX 4/2 Pot brakes and Deore, SLX and XT drivetrain with some Gabaruk parts... And in the bikepark I ride my Orbea Occam with code rsc brakes same drivetrain, also 350 hubs but with d light spokes and xm 481 rims and I have 140mm at the back and put a RS Domain up front which I upgraded to the charger 2.1 damper...

Jack has ankles of steel and goes faster than you would think possible on a bike with no rear suspension! ~ Will

Thinking of building up another hardtail bike seen some nice looking ragley frames on offer
That identiti is pretty special. Love it.
Could be your best video, mostly as my lad and I make an appearance 🤣 at the top tying the rope around me. He's on a hard tail, I've got the ebike tow cord uplift. Our first visit both worked well, next time he's old enough to ride our other ebike, we'll be taking that 💪
Hardtail on some of those tracks must be killer!

Especially when he said Deep Navigation was one of his favourite trails: That track is gnarly! Just look at the GoPro, good job Jack has titanium ankles and carbon knees! ~ Will
That view of the rider jumping behind the backpack camera is incredible

Something is wrong if you see a road and gravel bike at bike parks!

Why not, easy uplift.. and you can tow a normally aspirated friend
Would have been more interesting to see what the average punter is riding rather than professionals in the trade

@@mbuktv ah, I guess it's a bit different in the UK. Here in the US you usually have to buy a ticket regardless of if you are pedaling to the top or taking the chairlift, so there really isn't a reason to not take the chairlift and take an ebike instead

who cares what bikes and gear riders have as long as they are having fun, being safe and not being a wanker. it shouldn't matter to anyone if you're running 26er, 27.5 or 29er, 1x, 2x or in some cases 3x, full face or open face helmets. Who cares?
4 years is a lifetime? compare that to a motorcycle, it would be considered brand new, most mtbs are just built like crap

Most mountain bikes get ridden hard af. A motocross bike wouldn’t be considered new after 4 years of heavy use either.

wtf is this trend with only having coil suspension in the rear? you need more grip in the front than in the rear
