Sick edit Lance 🤘

Photochromic is pretty much all I use at the moment.

You guys are so lucky to have mates to ride with ...nice ...im 54 and always..alone

Very slick camera work nice 👌

you’ve been to cap before teo

A stick in the eye is no joke

Nice edit, and nice style down side of fries, gotta get the courage to hit that, glasses look good to😊

Last time they had a promotion on their bike lights, they gave me a pair of glasses as a gift. Honestly, I was really surprised and delighted by these glasses. I didn't expect such a high-quality item as a freebie, and I really like them. Mainly because they make me look cool, haha😜. Now, I don't just wear them when mountain biking; they also help filter out those jerks who blast their high beams at me when I'm driving. Since they also provide UV protection, I wear them when I go out, too. I really don't want to buy a bunch of different glasses, it's too much hassle.

The photochromic feature does seem quite convenient.😊

Good stuff ! Are they e-bike certified? 😁 The coupon works on the US website nice! 👍 How long will it stay valid?

64, fairly recent rider (4 year) ride with a group of 40-50 year olds. Started on an Levo now I ride my acoustic as much as my e bike. The group still out rides me but graciously wait at the bottom. They have definitely made me a better rider. Spent a day at the bike park in Big Bear California, I am really enjoying the ski lift up part. I have never ridden Whistler, skied it plenty, but I have done both at Mammoth and it is worthy of a trip. Hit Mammoth and Tahoe, then head to Colorado and that is an epic trip, skiing or riding. Great video, liked the interviews.

Awesome guys!! I'm in the US. Just about to turn 61 and got back into mtb 4yrs ago, initially as a way to cross train for rim-to-rim runs in the Grand Canyon. Mtb soon became all I could think about, and the majority of my training! I converted a 2008 Rocky Mountain Flatline 1 DH bike, to be an all mountain training rig, by adding a dropper, and 1x. It's 46lbs/21kg of goodness, and the majority of what I do on it, is climbing, on the same trails that I run on. It's an absolute blast.

You guys are rocking it!!

Very cool little edit at the end there! Discount didn't exist when I tried it maybe cos I'm in UK :( I got a super cheap Chinese photochromic pair from SportPursuit for less than twenty quid (cos I'm a cheapskate and if they didn't work who cares?) and they actually do work so all good thanks Lance

Great video Lance. Yes I agree, the photochromic are a great option. Especially in and out of the trees. 🙌

Yellow lenses are excellent if you're in and out of tree covers.

Hell yeah Dude! You've made it to the big leagues. I use my work saftey glasses so they fog up whenever I'm not moving, these do look like a far better option

Sweet video~Great job!🤩

Iam 56,just bought another e bike,love it! Mostly used in the Welsh mountains,used to race bmx back in the early 80,s never stopped cycling 🤙

That tracks brake pad wear to enjoyment ratio was a bit high for me.

I’m an analogue rider who can almost keep up with full fat e-bikes but it destroys me. For that reason I’m going Fuel. I want the ability to session trails for races with the analogue bike. And to keep up with my mates

Edit was sweet!

How long do they take to change from light to dark and visversa

You guys are RAD! Need to make another trip down to the land of the Kiwi! If you ever make it to Arizona hit me up!

I am 56 and ride a single speed 80 per cent of the time. I love MTB.

I’m 63,5 and still riding. Let’s keep going! Ps: I need an e-bike 😂

Just found you guys! What a great bunch, , ive just bought my first EMTB as my friends still ride and i used to but a heart attack stopped me but im back now! oh, im 73 now and looking forward to getting out. Going to be a late night for me here in UK as i catch up on your videos which are brilliant, Thanks.

Joining the 50+ club this year. Not able to keep up with the kids anymore. Time to admit getting faster will require a bit of electricity.

Great video. I wish I could ride with you guys

I was watching one of your videos the other day, I noticed that your e-bikes aren’t limited to a ridiculous 25km/hr like they are here in Australia. Are you able to let us know how it unlock them or the way around this? Do you purchase them at the 25-35-45km speed limit in NZ at a higher cost for the 35-45?

I’m 56, and have been riding with a select bunch of guys for quite some time….we’re called the Spokedrunkies (a riff on a neighbor bike club called the Spokejunkies), because we like to mtb and drink beer. We even have a spin-off rock band by the same name (last 15 years)…..when you create your OWN scene and collection of compadres, there’s few things better in life…..

I'm in my late 60s love riding and would rider harder if I had better skills n wasn't gonna demolish myself. Nearly everyone I've met has had a reasonable crash and been injured.

I reckon that you should have reset the modes .. and just left it to the original 3 modes. 👍🏼

I rode the automatic transmission.. I couldn’t stand it !!

This is brilliant. Love my emtb and at 55, helps keep me young. This video is great fun. You have a good group to go riding with that makes it even better. Can’t wait to see your whistler videos.

What a nice group. I wish I had a fraction of this number of friends to ride with… always riding solo because the guys I hang out with are too scared to ride bike. It was like that when I was living in NZ and same thing here in Canada. 😔

I bought this exact bike (except in S5 size-I’m a tall guy with gangly long legs) last week. Saved $5k because it’s a 2022, but was still brand new. I LOVE IT. 😍

Thanks! Slow Steve looks like Quick Bronson (Charles) :-) Good job boys!

Awesome episode, I started riding at Woodpoo back in 96, OG carpark was way down the back towards the grove, you could ride to Muriwai and the local trails back there then, epic oldschool trails no carpet, features were like snakes and ladders by the 2000s and rickety sketchy as fk skinnies and drop off and gap jumps, real shit with real consequences, seen my fair share of helicopter rides in and out of there too! still riding still crazy! though you guys are up there! Riverhead was the mecca for the core riders and loved that place too especially when it rains, get a bit sick of sand and who doesn't like Riverhead mud. Muriwai has suffered the most, the old days there were awesome, but like bikes things change, sometimes for the better🤣 Lets face it 29ers and batteries have saved the Army and probably! me! Keep rocking the Army and camera Sgt Wilson and Captn Mannering Steve is doing a great job! Might see ya out there one day who knows, old soldiers never die they just end up riding e-bikes! 🤣 Sic boi's All shredders!🤟

Hi Lance, Met Kevin years ago wakeboarding, good to see he’s still ripping, tend to ride solo these days as too many times my riding buddies would say give it a go, you’ll be fine and I wasn’t, ACC folder is like a phone book 😂

I hear E-Bikes are great. :)

This is everything I love about Mounting Biking !!! GOOD ON YOU BOYS !!

I’m a 70 yr old w LOTS in common w Chris Cairns(we both encountered an aortic dissection +sort of survived) but getting an ebike gave me back some life in t backcountry(which I’ve always been into)… living w some disabilities from t “event” but still hooked. enjoying your clips Lance/ going DH is t best therapy always. : )

Smooth as a Gravy Sandwich!

Awesome gents! Great vid and love the stories and motivation for riding!

Almost 75 - wife almost 65 riding since 1994. Now have had 2 Levo comps for the past 4 yrs and still riding upto Grade 4 trails all over Central North Island.

71 here, still riding my bike on the trails (2024 Pivot AM). I'm a little more cautious than when I was a young buck, but enjoy every minute I'm out on the bike.

Saw you guys heading off at Woodhill’s the other day and saw the group photo being taken, we were under the umbrella watching. I called out but you looked busy. We have a similar group but probably on average 10-15 years older. Some of us have been riding together for 30 plus years starting in Rotorua when it all kicked off, no marked trails and no suspension. There we started a concept that was we make a time each week and whoever turns up we ride, social media has supercharged this, I think there may be 30 on the what’s app group, but the base concept is still the same. As time goes on the social connections have become more important as time goes on, men do talk but best after the manly pursuit of MTB. EMTBs for many of us have kept us in the game through varying health problems. If someone is ill or injured they still come out for the post ride coffee. There are now three rides a week that we can join at Woodhill. There are group rides to do many of the main trails/trail systems in NZ, we are lucky now to have members in Queenstown and Rotorua, to call on. Individuals do other things like our member who is riding across America at the moment or the one who pushed through fatigue syndrome to ride the length of NZ. Some of our standout riders are winning major events in the over seventies division still on muscle bikes. Guys come back from broken backs/necks, knee and shoulder replacements/reconstructs, we all love riding and the company. We call ourselves the Woodies, we were Dads Army but someone else had that name so we changed. We have nick names, shortcut, no breaks, nudge, crash, bailiff etc… And we run a crash register the one who scores the most points on this receives a prize at our annual BBQ. Oh and there is a song coming out…

This is the only channel I watch where I LOL!🤣 Such great blokes with stories for the ages and classic banter whilst rippin along the trails. Great watch Lance.👍

I am considering buying an ebike. I can't keep up with the young ones now.😂
