What bikes do you bring to the park? Let us know 👇
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...
Last time i visited bikepark wales i took my bird zero am, th reason being is the best bike is the bike you have
Hardtail 29er all day
Specialized Levo 👍
Usually I bring my YT Tues. Sometimes I ride my Ibis Ripmo af
Dude is a true hardtail warrior
Jack has ankles of steel and goes faster than you would think possible on a bike with no rear suspension!

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
It shows the airtime Videographer Max is getting! He's never afraid to go huge when you let him out from behind the camera!
~ Will
I'm riding whytes new T140RS their 1st 29er in their T140 range an absolute beast of a weapon
Something is wrong if you see a road and gravel bike at bike parks!
3.44 is it a blown dustwiper seal?
e-bikes at bikes parks?
That’s what I’m saying. Just man up and do motocross at that point
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
Thanks for the feedback Haba 🙏 we'll see what we can do...

I don't understand ebikes at the bike park
Some people only have one bike, plus it saves on uplift costs
@@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
Yep, I spent the day towing my son to the top with my ebike, chat on the way up, scream one the way down 😂
@@SpencerBaumyou still have to pay regardless of whether you pedal or take a uplift it's just cheaper if you pedal up.
@@mbuktv I see alot of ebikes using the uplift.
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
Bro just leave these people alone man😂💀
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
Your comment makes no sense at all, do you know the difference between coil and air ?
@@quenale5709 what is your point
because suspension is about more than just 'grip'
@@meinnnit ok why only coil susp. rear?
electronic components are such crap, theyre expensive, heavy, and need to be charged seperatly in most cases, what a waste of time
while you are complaining and being mireable, those guys are riding and having the fun of a lifetime 😁
@@IIISentorIII I cant spell😁
never wear open face helmets, they are useless, always wear a full face
Now I feel an idiot for replying cause yr clearly just trollin
@@meinnnit if you wear an open face, then you can know you are one
