Forest of Dean MTB | Hardtail vs. Full Suspension

Today's video we're at Forest of Dean MTB Trails with my good friends Jeremy and Fergus who i've known for years. Jez is riding an XC race bike and going to try and keep up with Ferg on his Full Suspension Enduro bike on a mixture of different trails... From smooth berms, to loamy corners and rocky tech sections! Hope you enjoy the video, let us know what you think in the comment section!

Epic Edit Will! Love hard tails (urban downhiller) IMO- hard tails make you more steezy of a rider. great ride Jez

[@willgreenfield]

Thank you bro, very different from the urban downhill ay! Cheers for watching and commenting!

[@mindfuc]

Skilllllz!

[@BoAndHisBike]

Nice riding. Very entertaining video. Good work 👍

[@willgreenfield]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ROZAY305BOSS]

Great work Will! Love the subtle pans and camera work, top notch stuff. Buddy on the hard tail is making an absolutely mockery of those trails!
Makes me want to trade in the full sus and get hard

[@willgreenfield]

Thank you brother, appreciate it!
And yeh hardtails are fun and all but your wrists and ankles will never forgive you haha!

[@METEORA_47]

[@jezadownhill]

Oosh it’s a banger!

[@willgreenfield]

The Bigg nine himself

[@tomharper1479]

Gen 2 privateer looking nice might have to get one when it’s available

[@bfotosuk]

Kiddy on the XC bike is rad

[@willgreenfield]

"Kiddy" lol that is a fully grown adult male 😂

[@Dempsey222]

Full suspension seems to work much better on those trails.

[@willgreenfield]

More forgiving to the ankles and wrists also...

[@alex_prks]

Rippinnnn

[@willgreenfield]

Are we sure Jez is an XC rider ......

[@jezadownhill]

I’ve got Lycra and everything! I used to race enduro but have focused on XC since 2020

[@willgreenfield]

Jeza don't disregard your years and years of dh bike sending also

[@oliverbourne9599]
