@Jamesyshreds

Жыл бұрын

@@corismsyn I can't honestly give a fair comparison because I only rode the Fury for one lap and my slash is fully set up for me but I'll give it a go. The Fury is super capable, it felt balanced and never lost grip when I pushed it. The Slash is a hard one. I bought it 3 months ago and I'm still getting to know it. It's the perfect 'point and shoot' machine, if you want to descend fast then that's the bike for you. I'm more of a poppy rider and like to throw my bike around with ease. The big wagon wheel 29ers are not exactly ideal for that. It has grip for days and it peddles like a trail bike up hills. I'm still figuring out the finer details as I've blown up my shock twice because of bad manufacturing on the super deluxe.

I've had worse low speed slams then most of my high speed crashes. Low speed you get thrown down high speed you have more chance to roll out.

It's not just how fast you fall, but how you fall and what you are falling on, that determines the risk. Going fast on hard dirt track is much easier to navigate than going mid speed on stone/root areas. Slow tech falls are hard on joints, but big jumps have a higher risk of breaking something when things do go wrong.

Adrenaline is a powerful drug. You'll feel it the next morning for sure

Whistler is such a magical place. It's like 100% pure adrenaline rush. Not even just from the riding but just being at the village it's like you're in a mtb wonderland. You never want to have one last ride and you just ride until you're dog tired and than get hurt lol. One of the coolest places on earth.

Makes you appreciate some of these guys we watch on KZread ... That little rock jump before the rock jump on Dirt Merch looks pretty tame on GoPro, but in person it's insane. And those little chutes you see, not only are they steep but they're so high up. Crabapple is the craziest though IMO... Only other time I refused to try a jump was Ft Hill at Thunder in Mass. Humbling is the perfect word!! Edit: Oh and Banana Peel at Trestle. That was a few years ago soon after it opened, but even still I'm not sure I'd try it.

Stacked early on when the brake locked on my rental bike and threw me over the bars. Straight back onto the same trail so I wouldn't be scared of it. One of the best days of my life. I feel like no trip to Whistler is complete without a tale of injury. Miss living in BC so much

I was genuinely glued to my screen, terrified for James when you guys went back up - never expected Hunter to be the one to go down next. What an excitement-filled video! Great work guys. Glad everyone is safe and stoked!

The first episode, I felt like me and James were in a similar skill level. This episode, he's doing amazing! Bike parks will definitely help you grow so fast!!

I love this style of video, you're really good at making videos that tell a story

It’s funny you went to the simulator. I broke my collar bone there last year in my first season of biking. I was 15 minutes into a my first ride with my house mate who does trail crew, only really have been in the bike park 10 days before that but progressed fast. I didn’t know how to judge my speed for a flat drop and nose dived to flat, hitting my face off the entrance of the berm basically. Bike patrol also took 45 minutes to get there because they accidentally went to the real a line rock drop at first which is on the other side of the mountain lol. Good times

I feel this video. I crashed last week with a few injuries. Getting back out today!!

I’m about to go riding. Finishing morning coffee. Been waiting for this video since the YT-EWS videos started coming. Very curious about what’s coming, especially after seeing you via Shreddist’s practice video

I felt the "tech is stupid" in my soul

Its honestly really refreshing to see super legit riders roll up on a feature and be like 'nope'.

"Tech is stupid" could not be more accurate.

"Tech is stupid, TECH IS STUPID"... I feel that.

So happy for y’all stay alive!!!

I just did my very first bike park at Windrock in Oliver Springs, TN over the weekend. I ate dirt a few time my first time out. I hope to make it to Whistler soon. I've never seen anyone taco a front wheel like that! I'm glad you and your crew are OK!

Damn that was fun to watch. Here's to wishing on a speedy ankle recovery 🍻

This was one of the best MTB videos I've seen in quite a while. :)

My first riding coach told me, if you don't crash you aren't going fast enough. He also said "what are brakes" when I complained about braking points , and made me ride without using back brakes to instill confidence in the front brakes. He also threw wrenches at m..... oh wait that was Dodgeball.

I'm a rider from AB too, and I love seeing others getting out there and trying new things! Wish I could get to Whistler some day but I'm looking at Revy and others for some more local hits. Also gonna try Jasper soon. So stoked

great riding boys that looked rough

I had a crash like that on my dirtbike in soft sand when I was learning and it twisted my forks lol, I was fine, had a little scrape on my knee and that's about it. Didn't have the money for repairs for like a year, but it's fixed now and I'm much better of a rider than I was back then.

I love biking bc constantly being reminded you can die makes you feel alive

Good video. Looking forward to more content.

Narly ride boys. I've frruined my ankle before, not on a mountain while riding though. Dude toughed it out and kept on chooching down the mountain. Thumbs up!

Talking about how Hunter is okay after such a big slam. I fell on a steep section on one of our trails at like 3 mph and broke my shoulder. Then a couple months later, I crashed front wheel first into a 17 metre step up. And guess what. I was somehow OK. My knee hurt for like 2 days, but I was unscarved. Sometimes the deciding factor is just your luck.

That hunter guy is an absolute unit. 👌

To people that has never ridden DH, these people are professionals and the gopro makes these jumps and drops look small… they’re not. So if you ride for the first time, please do not try black lines for the first time , please don’t

A hit that can taco an FR560, can break any wheel, FR560 is basically the strongest alloy rim you can get. Also works great on a Ripmo ;), it's a lot lighter than the 35mm rims Ibis is obsessed with.

Follow cam was sick, def wanna see more of that in the mtb community

Stupid question: you go quite fast a doing pretty big jumps, so why you riding with no gloves and elbow pads? Especially the glows, you can buy for like 20$, worth the investment

Sometimes your biggest crashes lead to nothing, while the small ones give you nasty injuries. I've experienced that too often with horse riding.

Epic Video guys!!!!

Hunter reminds me of my first time mountain biking, when I had to carry my bike out of the woods after bending it against a tree. I'm lucky that the bike frame absorbed all the impact.

“Tech is stupid, tech is stupid” that was funny. I feel ya there. It’s not super fun but got be able to ride it still I guess

I think everyone who does anything risky as a hobby is guilty of knowing they should stop, or being hesitant, and pushing through anyways. Theres no shame in stopping but it's still hard to call it when you're with buddies. Even if the people youre with wont judge or badger you. Hope he is recovering well.

I want a whole family bike check video!

Doggg you said “lets do the gap” on the fright train section and you got me STOKED. I remember people gapping the whole thing back in 2011 and have never seen it since. Kinda lame how they put the goal post at the end of the feature. It was still a rad vid, but kinda sad now.

I’m pretty sure that will buff out

Of all the sports I've done, mtn. biking is by far the most injury provoking.

Nads squared into infinity!

So, in my early 20's we had some good size bmx jumps the Suetos house and I folded a wheel like that. Sprained wrist, back, huge gash (and now scar) over my eye & a broken collarbone. Turns out that stock Dyno 24" single wall wheels don't like 200+ lb dudes and 20' doubles. Ha. Fun times and that's why I always buy the best wheels I can. Glad they're ok-ish.

It’s as though you were trying to find their limit 😂

man when I saw that rim I couldn't help but laugh seeing hunter just there like :/ lol
