i built that kicker up to the big rock a couple weeks back. i wasn’t sure how it would be used but that far exceeded my expectations! very cool
Nice work we need more of that! Gotta find all the rocks in that woods haha.
What I like to see is how you incorporate trials into the trails. Great stuff!
The DV9 is on sale now with 25% off which makes the build I am riding in this video only $2624.25! It is a great time to buy one. Check out www.n1bikes.com and let them know I sent you if you are looking for one!
Just built mine up over the weekend and can't wait to get more miles on it!
Heck yeah, congrats on the new ride! It definitely makes you want to just keep pedaling and log more miles. Enjoy!
It would be great to see you hit the jump line section. Great riding and tips as always Pat. ATB.
Amazing skills buddy. Great video!
Thanks!
Man I have rode there a bunch and your riding makes me feel like a noobie. Great riding. Cool to see you after going to school with Phil and graduating with him. Keep up the great work.
There are some trail gems if you look hard enough! Gotta get a little creative to mix it up a bit though. Thanks for checking it out!
You’ve got some of the best riding I’ve seen on CZcams, and I watched ALOT😂. I’m amazed at your bike handling skills. Makes me stoked to go out and ride. I also like how you ride different rigs than I’m used to seeing. Keep it up!
Hey thank you I really appreciate that! I love riding different bikes and trying to adapt my style to them, glad you enjoy watching that. Motivating people to ride is always another big goal so good to hear it’s working!
Super! Thanks for sharing the stoke! I just ordered the XT build in purple crush and I'm swapping in S35 carbon i9 wheelset. now is the waiting........
Nice that will be a sweet build! Carbon wheels and a higher engaging hub would be a nice upgrade. Enjoy!
Very cool. Congrats on getting in the top 10 at the TKO.
Thanks!
Dude you have some mad skills bike looks super capable and fun
Thanks! I am definitely enjoying it for lots of different riding. Check out my newer video if you want to see it race XC, cyclocross, and do a trials event: czcams.com/video/iB96UUtsgVc/video.html
Man, I would like to see you do some BC slab and skinny riding on an Enduro bike. Probably put some extra style on some of the classic lines we all see on CZcams.
That would be awesome! I love that type of riding but we don't have it around here. It would be nice to at least get up to Marquette before it snows for some real rocks but will see.
@@PatSmage Collab w @DangerousDave and @DaleStone to get towed into the GNAR. You would kill it!
Hey Patt love your style would love to see your aproach to all size logs ie as big as your front tyre uphill downhill and with no forward momentum .
Sounds like a good challenge! Gotta find some more.
Hey pat keep it up. Great videos
You ride a large in this bike - can I ask your height and inseam? I’m 5’ 11” with 33 1/4 inseam and was thinking medium as my reach is shorter. But the large does seem maneuverable. Nice riding!
Nice!
Are you running a tire insert? Curious about your weight and tire pressure and how you're getting along with the Rekon Race.
No insert at the moment. I am tempted to put one in the rear. But I kind of want to keep this wheelset light so considering another wheel set up a bit more beefy. I do like these for xc since they roll fast but they don't have as much grip as I am used to of course. I am 190 and have been running somewhere in the low 20s for trail riding, but that feels too low for some trials moves with these tires.
Great vid!
Which do you like more? Dv9, Ripley AF, or Exie? I’m looking for a flatland single track trail bike.
Thanks! It depends on the trail. If it’s smooth, the DV9 rips and is a lot of fun. If it’s a bit rougher, the Ripley will be more comfortable. I haven’t ridden the Exie anywhere but the parking lot but I would guess it’s probably right in between. All good choices just depends on you trail and riding style.
@@PatSmagethanks man! Great vids! Saw some of your stuff off of Ibis’ page! Hope to learn more as I progress. I live in TX and we have a variety of trails, most locals here say go with Ripley bc of the FS. I’ll give it more thought, you make the DV9 look so fun!
@@CragCatDad can’t go wrong with the Ripley! If I could only choose one ibis, that would probably be it. It’s a great all arounder that pedals well. I’ve only been to a few trails in Texas and some would have been fine on a hard tail while others were asking for some extra cushion. If you do end up getting one and don’t have an ibis dealer local, consider checking out N+1 bikes!
@@PatSmageexcellent! Yeah someone from N+1 reached out already when I posted in a group trying to ask questions. The Ripley sure seems like the best do-it-all bike from Ibis. I think I’d be sad bc then my San Quentin probably wouldn’t be ridden as much if I go Ripley. Great to know tho that would be your bike of choice from Ibis.
I’ll have to start working on trials skills, looks like it can make any location a fun place to ride.
Hello, thinking of getting a dv9 but not sure if to pick the deore or the GX build. How did you choose? Do you think the GX is better? :)
They are pretty similar, but my other 29" bike has a sram xd driver so I thought it would be good to have this one be the same in case I wanted to swap wheels. That was my main reason. I just saw that they are on sale so it is a great time to pick one up! If you don't have a local shop you can check out www.n1bikes.com and they will take care of you if you let them know I sent you.
Hi Pat....may be a dumb question....are your bunny hop higher on a hardtail or a full suss?
Hmm I’ve never tried back to back so can’t say for sure. I would guess a hardtail but might have to put it to the test. 🤔
Does it feel like a trail or XC bike in terms of position and stack height? Do you feel you have your weight centered, on the back wheel or pushing more on the front wheel?
I'm asking because I have a problem with low stacks, having pretty long legs (180cm, 86inseam). Thanks
It is definitely more forward feeling than my mojo trail bike, but not as much as my old xc bikes. Maybe somewhere in the middle or a bit closer to xc. It is hard to say without riding them back to back since I don’t have another xc bike at the moment.
@@PatSmage Thanks, I suppose that's pretty acurate. Between XC and Trail was what I suspected too.
Pat how tall are you? I'm torn between a L or XL. I'm 6-1.
I’m right around 6’. Large Ibis bikes feel right for me, not too small or too big.
Does this color come off more grey or brown in person? Looks great on video and looks like a paper sack on ibis’s website.
It’s more brown, but different than any other bike I can remember seeing.
Bike riding is fun, but Pat puts it on a whole nother level. Make me want to get out there and do some jibbing.
Hey Pat, do you think it's helpful to buy a trials bicycle to practice trials motorcycle. I just started trials motorcycle a month ago and I was wondering if it's a good idea to buy a bicycle to practice first or the motorbike is just fine. Thank you
Definitely! The skills transfer over really well. Balance and fitness can be improved also. It doesn't necessarily have to be a trials specific bike, a MTB can work too, but some things will be easier to learn on one.
hey Pat and Hannah, thanks for the reply and I'll get a cheap Trials bicycle to give it a try.@@PatSmage
What trim is your bike and what’s the weight?
It’s a GX build. I haven’t weighed it but it’s light! I probably should find out.
Can anyone provide me with a frame size recommendation? I'm 5'8.5 so I'm right on the edge of a medium and large and the difference between the two is massive on paper. I'm a bit weary of going to something with a 470mm reach as i've never owned anything that long and not sure how it would do on the tight and twisties in the wooded trails I ride. I'm not a downhill charger, my rides average 9-10mph.
I’d say it’s a bit of personal preference. I and 6’ but if I was your height, I’d probably go for a medium because I prefer smaller over bigger. Either would probably work fine and can be adjusted slightly of course.
@@PatSmage That helps a ton thanks!
@@rlane4osu199hey, did you get this bike? I’m in the same situation and would like to hear how it worked out :)
