Alex was brilliant talking down the trail. Good personality for doing content.
He was awesome. I liked the different approach!
Appreciate it mate!
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Well done both great content enjoyed watching it 👊
@@gavinkinsella1296 cheers Gavalarr
"It feels so much better on this......not sure if my lines are any better"... too funny!!
Haha he makes me laugh
Really enjoyed this, Alex did a cracking job. Was good to hear different perspectives. I was lucky enough to own a V10 when living in Switzerland, it’s an absolute dream of a rig. Keep up the good work Lewis, great content as always.
Thanks! Stoked to hear it
What a unique, fantastic video. Kudos to Alex and Lewis for making it happen👍👍 @ Alex - great riding fella 👊
Thanks!
That’s an amazing ride by Alex 🎉 So calm in the limelight. Being ‘watched’ by an expert takes guts, whatever the task 💪💪💪
He did awesome
Great Job Alex! Good on you for stepping up to those jumps!
💪🏽
Great vid! Alec is a natural with a camera! Much better than a lot of popular “CZcamsrs”
I’ve ridden that track twice… there’s no way I’d be able to talk for hanging on, let alone give such a calm running commentary
Cheers mate!
@@dralboy Sorry I spelled your name Alex… I’ll edit it to Alec 😂
I love his experience and how he road its almost like he gotten better but still such an amazing guy and kudos for letting him ride that monster of a bike i think he loved it and it was soo much fun watching the video keep it up lewis😊
I agree! Thanks
brilliant video mate, loved the way Alex really talked about every pro and con to investing in a bigger travel bike. Great job!
Thanks
I would love to see him again on this track with the Santa Cruz V10. He looked lik an above average rider to me and i gues he enjoyed the experiance, Moreover i could see the details of the trail which is so interesting. if pros are crushing this trail it looks like a flowtrail. Here i could see a lot of details. If there is a posssibility that you could ride with him some more and coach him to get even more comfortable on this bike it would be a pleasure to watch him shred even harder. :)
Yeah Alex. Proper ripping mate. So stoked for you. A bike like that is beyond my budget (single dad with 2 ungrateful crumb snatchers) but I lived through your stoke @ fort William. Plus you’re a way better rider than I. Cheers guys. Great video.
Awesome words. Cheers
U have to get up to Windrock Tennessee and ride the bike park!!! Get ahold of Aaron Gwin and make arrangements. He regularly ride the shuttle with all us normal folks. Super cool humble guy. Hope to see you up there to ride the steepest trails in the U.S 😉
Alex was great. Well done to both of you for the video.
Thanks
That was proper cool. Alex rode that really well. I'm super jealous!
He did awesome
Sub contracting out your vids, nice 😁 Going up in travel and then back down helps give so much confidence. I’ve found the same and smash so much more on my hardtail than I thought I’d ever attempt.
Nice!!
Great job by Alex! Yes... potentially a very expensive video. Honestly, one of the best V10 review videos I've seen.
💪🏽
Cheers dude
Great content Lewis Alex is a natural on the commentating well done Alex take care and all the best .
Thanks 👍
Cheers mate!
This was cool! And Alex is also a Nice Dude. Realy liked this Video!
Thanks
Cheers brother!
Rode with Alec a year or so ago at Ae, top bloke and fast AF 🤙
Fun video with new perspective! See you next time!
Thanks
Sick seeing you guys there. Was to shy to come and say hi tho 😂😅
Next time! Absolutely say what’s up!
Alex what a lad. You should have your own channel, you got talent and are a good talker. Second run was dope.
Heck yeah!
Appreciate you mate!
Sorry for the misspelling Alec.
Sometimes it's hard to understand Lewis 🤣😂
😂
@@wylieschwein appreciate you even more now mate! 😂
Great job Alex what a brilliant idea Lewis getting to hear from a not so amateur but not a pro was so good it was brilliant
Thanks
He was good and it’s showing how the dh bike can push ur capacity on the track
Yes!
I've also heard from significantly lighter riders that my brakes don't have much bite. But that's because I run massive rotors and finned sintered pads that don't even reach operating temperature under a lightweight rider. So the comparison is only fair if you run the same pads and rotors as well. At nearly 90kg with riding gear I have nowhere near the skills to not cook organic pads on a proper DH track.
🙏🏽
That was sofa king legit!! an "amateur" yea dude you are a lot better than an amateur! sick skills!
💪🏽💪🏽
More content with Alex please...I loved this.
Thanks.
That is interesting. I've never tried the DH bike (but my thoughts are that I should try this). And after that video the desire to try DH bike will be big this year.
Awesome!
I could only dream of riding a twelve thousand pound bike. Awesome video ⛳
Thanks
Only 7K 😵💫On Brink
This exact build is not on brink is it 😂 this is a custom build
@@LewisBuchanan Only noticed he got the price from the title after your reply 😅 easy 12k bike build from the frame up yeah 🔥 Would be rad to see your mate on some more videos, enjoyed watching.
Thanks!
I misread the title and I thought you were giving the bike to him to keep 😅😂
I wish mate 😭
I have a question. Im waiting for my v10 since 3 months now... Do you recommend to wait for it?
ABSOLUTELY
nice video, nice riding Alex :)
💪🏽🙏🏽
Thanks mate!
This is sick! Greatest feeling in the world is ripping on a DH bike. Cheers boys.
Cheers
built my own v10 with a boxer this weekend because of you and it is literally the best bike I ever rode it's unbelievable
So sick!!!
are you running proto enve rims?
I am sick of people claiming,
- its all about the rider not the bike.
- 8k bike is stupid, not trally a difference to 1k bike
- you can have fun with any bike, no one needs the expensive stuff.
- i am as fast as my friends with their expensive bikes.
I dont want to bash people or kids who cant aford a proper bike, and its a good mindset to be happy about the bike you have.
But as someone who did the trasition from a 1.5k trailbike, to 6k enduro.
i expected a noticable improvement. But i was blown away how much better its was. Like its a different sport.
my skill, condifence and capability just skyrocked.
People who buy bikes as expensive as some car are not stupid, the bikes are worth it. ( not talking about corona inflated prices)
What airpressure do you ride in youre tires on the v10
I am not sure but don't you increase presure when you are sitting on the bike? Shouldn't you do the fork adujstment without load? Other wise nice vid
🤷🏼♂️ thanks
That was myself at the start of Top Chief asking if any tools were needed … got glared at like I shat in someone’s corn flakes 😢
Nice! Ah not at all, we appreciated you asking if we needed any!
Not sure where the notion of a glare came from mate! As Lew said; appreciate you asking, I was maybe just fed up with electric shifting! 😂
How does a brummie go about being muckers with Innerleithens finest....
Cracking video an Big up the both of you......up the villa 👏🍻🤙
hey there, I was just wondering what settings you use for your camera as I recently got one and want to get the most out of it. and I was also wondering what software use to edit your videos? Thanks
Ultra wide, 4k 30 fps , and I use Final Cut Pro
thanks so much, I also forgot to ask where you got the longer mount for your camera because I can't find it anywhere.
Nothing like the feeling of monster trucking on a DH bike. Alex mentioned the brakes felt less bitey than his, even though you're both running the same Hayes. Different pad compound ? Need a bleed?
Hmm unsure. I think we maybe use diff pads and I like my levers more in to the bar
Nah, the coil shock is just OP - it always feels great from the start, as it doesn't have so much friction :)
lots of my friends tried out my bike being 20-30kg less in weight, and everybody said the shock felt great even though I run 30% sag for my weight.
🙏🏽👍🏽
Lewis, have ride the Forbidden Druid to follow him? It's was 3 years ago I guess you ride a Druid. I remember you do the same trail on this video with the Druid. The same year I think you try the Forbidden Dreadnought when it's was a prototype.
Yes. I will try one soon!
What a guy!
🙏🏽🙏🏽
what bike would you recommend for someone looking to upgrade with a low budget * I’m looking for more travel like a downed duro
I would rather let someone borrow my Girlfriend than my bike…..no way I’d let anyone touch it let alone take away unsupervised 😮
hahahahaha
Great video lads.
Think we just found a new content creator?
Haha he’s good eh
I think he liked it 😄😄
I think so haha
Riding a 160mm 130mm rear small man even a bigger megatower 180 165mm would be such upgrade
🙏🏽
I think you'd be surprised how good the druid feels on stuff like this mate!
@dralboy the ohlins suspension def helps for sure my brother runs it on his bike stuff is amazing I don't doubt it I mean really no downside on these bigger bike I use my mega for everything 180mm lyrik ultimate 165mm vivid ultimate
Very interesting to see what a non pro riders’ opinion of riding your bike is. Alex dude you rip! I’d have shat me self in case I crashed it 😂 Future edit- Alex on the V10 following Lew on his new enduro 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌍
🙏🏽🙏🏽
What do you do with all your old bikes when you get a new one
Sell them
What body armour is he wearing? Great info about how it feels for him compared to his enduro
I’ll get him to chime in on comments here to let you know!
It's an rxr protect roost guard mate. It's been affectionately referred to as "RoboCop armour". They also owe me a refund for a second one I sent back; so if you buy one, tell them I sent you and tell them to give me my bloody money back.
Good protection though 😂
Good job... and only one small observation... a 130/160 bike is really a trail bike, rather than an Enduro bike ! 😊
I agree
Rhys Verner won an EDR on one 🤷🏻♂️ it feels just as much of an enduro bike as my evil wreckoning did
Thanks Alex and thanks Lewis 🤙
Cheers Alan
Only rode a DH bike once, and it was literally the most fun I ever had on a bike…..
🙏🏽
130mm enduro bike? My Rocky Mountain Instinct trail bike has 140 mm.
just the difference in geo with the forbidden, I'd call it more of an all-mountain bike, but he has put a bigger fork on it.
👍🏽
Druid v2 is an incredible bike. But it’s not a downhill bike
Correct
Where is this bike park?
Fort William in Scotland
living in Canada seems to be going well!
Bouncing between there and UK
12k in this economy ? I could buy a car with that.
Crazy how quiet it is
Ripping the trail....decent
Oh yup.
Tyre inserts..?
No inserts
That's a good west midlands accent I'm originally from Walsall lol
Solihull mate, so not too far away!
@@dralboy one thing I missed about the black country is the people ...just down to earth good honest folk mate I moved to Devon when I was 19 then moved to Ireland 8yrs ago I'm 53 now ...I really enjoyed your content
@@antdod1 Thank you mate; really appreciate it!
Great rider, cannot afford one i wish, so i d.i.y build mine.
12k is fucking ridiculous, they want people to get into biking and make it their life long hobby but how can people afford to buy good bikes that will last them.
Only people who have ridden DH bikes know. You dont realise how quick they pick up speed. They are glued to the ground for traction. MTB is a cheap sport compared to many others. I remember a bike shop owner said : just put it on finance and ride the wheels off it while you can. You never know whats around your lifes corner.' To many people get sick or have life accidents.
Stuff is expensive these days
Alex have a youtube channel?
nice
Hi lewis i hope u can read my message i actually dreaming about buying a fullsuspension mountain bike but i don't have enough money to buy it i'm still 17 years old and my family to can't afford it too im turning 18 in june 2 this would be a great birthday gift for me
i'm from the Philippines
i'm a 5year subscriber
That’s awesome thanks so much for supporting, I don’t give my bikes away I’m afraid. Sorry. Keep going 💪🏽
this is such clickbait
Stop moaning + it was April fools yesterday so 😂😂😂
The caption is borrowed
LOL
You let him borrow your 12k bike and he made a video with more content than you could ever make charisma was heavy
It’s not a competition but ok 😂😂
Appreciate the compliment mate, but not sure I agree! 😂
that is a stupidly expensive bike
But worth it
Capppppp
Yes I was wearing a cap in this video , well done
