- In January this year I stepped away from coaching full time to pursue the goal of going full time riding/racing but sadly times are pretty tough within this industry and I've had to be pretty dynamic with coming up with a plan B! That being said, I'm so stoked with this year and how things are looking!
Thanks to everyone who's helped, supported and encouraged me so far. It's only the beginning!

Glad purple kit is coming back
Have an amazing 2024 buddy 👌
stoked to see your going for it bro! filming tip for future, get some close ups of the products your talking about, viewers and sponsors will appreciate it lots.
Hope to see you on edr in Poland✌️
Looking mean! 🔥 glad u sized up, I was doubting my XL Mega for a while since u rode M 🤣 ive mulleted my Mega since and its been the dream 🔥
Hahaha yeah it’s fire! Still getting used to the extra length though and also the weight! It’s so light which means it handles much differently
Stoked you’ve got a set up and a job you’ll enjoy mate!!
Weird that after sizing down to an XL Mega, supported by seeing you on your medium, but I just last week ordered an XXL Santa Cruz because I swallowed my pride too 🤣🙌
Wonder how we’ll feel in 12 months!
Good luck, you could say the money in racing is drying up with sales but tbh I see it as a concentration of powers, the survival of the fittest. Things were not natural in the past 4 yrs, now it's coming back to some kind of normal ...
Homie doing bits, proud dad
nice to see you back on the tube. bike looks amazing. you should do something around taking pics at races too - cross fertilise the audience. taking pics of racing is never easy. Loved the Sven martin video that santa cruz put out.
ps - you will love StoneKing - just dont ruin the bike/yourself on day 1! Play the long game.
I bloody loved that video of Sven. It’s going to be a sick new challenge. Love the SKR advice, too. Thanks a lot hahaha
I might have to try a different casing on the front end of my bike if it possibly helps with arm pump
keen to see this years journey man! will you be in whistler any time this summer ?
Would be interesting to see you try out a megatower from TVB and compare with the ibis.
Maybe we can make that happen!
Awesome looking rig dude! Love the Parma violet colour way. Is there a reason you didn’t go with the 240 dropper? Good luck with the races you’re doing and keep up the great work! I’ll be tuning in 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌍
Thank you! I quite light my seat around knee height when it’s dropped. The 240 would go much below that when down. I also just ordered what I knew would fit. Haha
Hi Innes!
any chance on getting your shock settings? what's your weight? cheers
You saying the DD in the front helps with arm pump, in comparison to what? DH casing or lighter options?
is DD Casing better for the hands than DH ?
Oh I struggle with arm pump too, have you some recommendation ? I do have a physic prep but I think I can do other things to help my hands 😅
Cheers
I think lots of bike time will definitely help, lighter sidewalls on tires will be good (to a certain extent) and good brakes for sure. It’s a never ending battle I’ll be honest
grips with good damping help, preferrably not lock ons since they don't have as much rubber in them
@@innesgrahambike yeah for sure but i already have 40k of d- this winter and this problem isn’t solved ahah 😅
I will try lighter tire in the front !
Cheers for the tips :)
@@hannes6114 do you have a name of grip or brand for exemple ?
@@emericlardet2001 I think Renthal does Push on ultra tacky grips and ODI does longneck slx flangeless push ons for example, you need to glue and wire them on though
Hey, why do you ride the Assegai? I know a lot of athletes riding it because of their contract. Otherwise riding the DHR2 front and rear.
What´s the case for you? Do you like the Assegai in the wet/mud?
I’ve never ridden an DHR2 on the front. I genuinely really love the amount of contact you have with the Assegai. Another favourite tire is a DHF. The Assegai to me is an intermediate all rounder. If it’s super wet I’ll probably go for the DHF as it clears mud a little better
Could we be getting some EDR squid vlogs? 🤔🤔
How tall are you? :)
183 cm
@@agleck7 Thank you!
175
You should be 1) supported by your family, 2) be rich, 3) win prestigious races to get paid for riding a bike. There is no way that someone pays you to ride a bike. :D
If anyone deserves to get paid to ride a bike it is deffo Innes. One of the best riders around and a lovely dude ❤
