    Use this kid more often. He was having fun and was cool about his mistakes. Super relatable

    This was awesome. Not as polished as some would have done, presumably because he's actually trying to run it with racing it in mind. And that was what made it so great.
    The honest, emotional, and breathless feedback/commentary made me feel like I was there! I was grinning the whole time. More like this!

    My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done czcams.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.

    16 year old's rip. I ride locally and some of the sketchiest lines and drops are done best by the kids. Only downside is I see them in casts more than the 25+ crew. Hate seeing these guys banged up so young.
    Not sure if it is worse now days because the because are so capable you can crash epically on nearly every feature or if back in the day it was worse because the bikes were so bad that you were lucky not to crash trying to ride those 26in dropper less bikes with near vertical head angles.
