Would be awesome if you could check out my instagram: instagram.com/willgreenfield1/
Thank you!
$5,000 bike, $4,000 truck. Seems about right
I felt so seen with this comment.
Love the kid on the hard-tail. Old school cool.
Haha yeah Alfie is going hard, he does need a new wheel now though!
In my opinion this is still one of the best videos you ever produced, might even be my favorite video from you
Thank you bro! Means a lot (sorry about my slow reply ahah)
@@willgreenfieldhaha, legend commeted 3 years later😂
Haha i always try and reply to everyone! Thanks for watching bro
@@willgreenfield well apprechiated 🤝
@@willgreenfield gonna hit u back with the slow reply, just watched the video again haha
made me kinda sad tho, since I wasn't able to ride my bike for the past 3 years :(
Dude doesn't know shit about his hardtail and then sends it like a boss :D
The 1st time I ever went to a big mountain resort I rode my trusty 2012 Trek 6000 (3rd-best aluminium hardtail on Trek's lineup) with 26" wheels, it even had the speedometer and clipless pedals! It was a pain to load the bike to the chairlift (the wheelbase is so short that you have to lift the whole bike) but I had a lot of fun and people sometimes cheered me on, specially on the red trails (in my place it goes like Green-Blue-Red-Black, the 2 blacks have been World Cup courses over the past 15 years) and the resort's personnel. Some chairlift girl was like "I've seen people here with a hardtail but they only went up like twice all day, you keep coming back", that was so cool.
3 visits later I ended up buying a cheap enduro bike (€1800) but I gotta admit it's almost more fun to use the hardtail as you have to ride it so much better, you don't need rocks and roots everywhere or big jumps to have the full rush. I've never ridden down a black trail (I have a job, LoL) and I'd recommend to everyone to try to enjoy a day at a big resort using a hardtail.
@@DanArnets1492 definitely agree with this
@@DanArnets1492 Some guy did megavalnche on a hardtail
I admired his shit too, I'm that guy that goes to the track and all I have is a shit bike and a lotta love for speed and thrills. It's not like we think " I got this", and go for it. It's that we're having so much fun, we don't see the jump and just send it, landing is a case of life preservation and on the fly adjustments.
That's good ol' Podrick Payne for ya, he does that in other fields as well
The funny thing is it looked like the guy on the hard-tail crashed the least, especially on the first run. These guys are impressive. It is a completely different sport than when I MTB.
Dude on the Whyte rocked, fair play
This is that content to watch in middle of night I was looking for!🔥💯👌😎
Dudes! Alfie rocked this! Big balls for sending that jump!
Yeah for sure! Alfie is killing it on the XC hardtail aha!
Trail hard tail
The dude on the hardtail is clearly the best rider of the bunch. Great vid.
Haha yeah Alfie is a wildman, thanks man!
You can go everywhere with a hardtail if you know how to ride and you are fit......
Being fit and knowing what you are doing wont get you anywhere. Having balls of brass and a head of lead will.
@@jeepmanxj i said you need both, know how to ride AND be fit. Just one of these cant help you ride a hardtail in a difficult trail. With a hardtail your knees are your suspentions....if you are fat and unfit, even if you have balls of brass, you cant ride a demanding line...
@@avgoustinos I've seen guys over 300 lbs crush downhill.
All you need is balls.
@@jeepmanxj Balls of brass won't keep you on the bike and healthy without knowing how to ride
@@fabiantimmins2224 I've been mountain biking for many decades now. You just need balls. You can act all elitist and high and mighty but i know guys who get winded standing up that will stomp your ass on the way down a hill
Excellent vid guys. Great to see a bunch of people just having some fun and nobody getting (too) hurt! No flashy gear, no crappy music. Stay safe guys.
Thank you bro! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Wow - Im impressed. I'm new to mountain biking and watching this is literally scaring the hell out of me - I'm not sure I want to go downhill that fast.
How good are you at mtb now? :)
I only have a hard tail and everyone thinks I suck but going over any little rock patch had high speed is terrifying
Innit same here
Also got bad suspension which doesn't work in cold weather
The problem about hardtails for me is i feel every god damn bump thats i go over and its shot right up my ass
Yep we're all just dreaming of that future bike
Will this was really fun to watch man, definitely dig the slomo shots...thanks for sharing man, always makes me laugh =D
Glad you enjoyed it man, yeah i always like shooting slo-mo! No worries at all :)
Cool
Shlomo
Thanks a lot for this awesome Video. I Love it! The dude on the hardtail is one hell of a Rider , he is by far the coolest Rider. And he Shows that Riding is not about the gear. It is about the Rider. And i can learn so much from the Slowmotions. Thanks will!
That was brilliant to watch guys. Loved it...And the added fun of that hardtail......You got to do more
Just lovely! Seeing you guys hit that corners...just awesome! I could watch for hours! Good job!
Haha glad you enjoyed it man! :)
I love people that aren't wanky wanky about their bike. They just send it does matter if it's an hardtail a full suspension just ride perfectly and don't find any excuse about their gear! That video is just the definition of that .
"Wanky wanky" 😂😂😂 Thanks bro, glad u enjoyed it!
Over in Wales the trails are icy rather than muddy! Bloody sketchy!
I would *try* to ride that on a hardtail!
I would try to. riding bmx for so long time, i love the hardtail feeling. Alfie ride the trail very good on the whyte by the way ;)
Bike Stuff brechfa?? :)
I have no choice. haha
mate these old videos are pure GOLD!
That was an epic vid man. Had everything . All riders rip . Inspiring stuff 👊
I've watched this video about a dozen times. Totally puts me in the mood to ride the slop.
"Could you ride this track on a hardtail?" Not a chance! I don't have the skills yet. I ride a hardtail and my bike would be fine but I wouldn't. The hardtail in the video held up really well against the full suspension rides. @13:50 that is the smoothest dismount I have ever seen! Impressive riding by everyone in the video - you guys are awesome!
Scott
Best channel out there! Shredding & laughs keep it up.
This is always about this "guy" in the group that is the funnier etc. Loved it
Great video Will, really liked this one. Crash at 12:52 was gnarly as fudge.
I don't know if he tried a one hand or his hand has slipped for the bar
Think his hand just slipped, bar luck, probably mud n slime mix
Fuck**
At first I thought this vid was going to be crap, but I'm glad I watched past the first few minutes because it gets better! Sweet trail, nice riding!
Haha thanks Ivan!
one of the best videos uploaded for sure. gets me stoked to ride!
Thanks Joseph, glad you enjoyed it! :)
Yoooo will! Love your vids keep up the GREAT work! Big fan from Belgium!!!
Yoooo dawg! Thank you man, glad you're enjoying them :) Cheers!
Great video, had a smile the whole time. I've been riding shitty hard tails off and on my whole life and i just bought a used mint condition 2015 specialized enduro elite. Its nice to see that full suspension does actually make a difference. Can't wait to ride this season, hopefully i'll find some sweet trails like the ones you guys are riding.
Cheers
This looks like serious fun. And the bloke on the hardtail is awesome^^
You guys are brave! I like the fun sounds and comments
These videos make my day, keep up the great work
Glad to hear that! Thanks man, i'll try me best :)
That looked mega fun, mad props to the hardtail.
This was suprisingly fun to watch.
Great video guys! What do you use for stabilizer Your video with the Sony alpha?
Hey man, i didn't stabilize any of these shots :)
Will Greenfield You didn't use a gimbal?
Nope! Just steady hands ;)
Not enough bike, but not enough fear as well! Great riding by all the folks in this video!
Such A good video please keep them coming love your channel
Thanks Hayden, i'll try my best!
I clicked on this thinking it would be an educational video on how well suited to modern trails hardtails are. I didn't get that but did get something far better! Great riding skills guys. At 43 years old with a previously broken collarbone (from road riding) my confidence will now never let me progress to your levels of skill, but it was very inspiring nevertheless.
Great stuff guys, love it!!!!
Spectacular video. Great shots. That takes balls to bomb downhill in the slop!!!!!!!
Thank you man!!
Awesome content as per usual need to get out shredding my self keep it up dawggg
Thanks dog, glad ya enjoyed it!
you guys are hilarious to watch :) Proper entertaining
You guys are the best, keeping it real as ever!
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed the vid!
always good to watch! 🙌
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Super wicked video! I love it!
Dude on the HT is BADASS!
Great vid, good to see the guys having fun. The mud looks fun until it comes to washing and drying time haha. We dont have that issue in Sydney but when you fall its hard and rocky so would rather have the soft landing...Skill level of riders is great to watch in both real time and slomo..Cheers
Thank you man, glad you enjoyed the vid! Yeah i'd love to have dry rides every time, but having rocks to crash on doesn't sound quite so appealing haha!
Reminds me of my most recent ride. Every berm was just a grease fest. Still good fun though.
Yeah the conditions are pretty slippery at the moment hey!
Will Greenfield yeah, can't wait for the temperature to start warming up a bit!
Cornering is wild, good stuff guys
Just love this channel and content
Greetings from Aus. You guys rock and have balls of steel. Well done!!!
Man ur mate on the hardtail just rocks! Liked the run down on the 905s spec 😅
haha thanks Iain, yeah he's got no fear!
Kudos to the hardtail rider 1st of all. And then to all for maintaining and riding the trail. Sending them jumps 🤘🏻 I can only watch in awe as I’m not a jumper. More like a knitted cardigan 🤔
some good fun there, glad im not washin everything after. including the car seats. great vid,
hard tail dude is really skilled and he really controls well weight balancing of his body and the bike in any condition. Very nice biker~
I could see you why it would be scary to ride on that track but you guys have it! (Such good control and skill) You don’t need to worry! I would love to spend a day outside with you guys, I wouldn’t fit in at all but I’d still have a lot of fun!
I’m surprised with the Hardtail he was able to keep traction, it seems like the back of it would skip along too much, but man he did a great job of keeping it tight!
12:51 the grip slip of death ! Followed by the pretzel roll of doom , which fortunately did not develop into the full cartwheel of infinity (had that happened on one of the steeper sections , yes, undoubtedly, full cartwheel of infinity) ... haha !! ... my god the clag !! you guys !!! complete nutters !! ... and i love ya for it !!!!! here's wishing you all a nice spring day to come rolling your way in the near future, something to die for, over there right about now, i suspect ...
Haha yeah that slip-up would scary to watch, glad there was no cartwheel of infinity lol! Thanks man, i can't wait for the summer already, fed up of this rain and mud :(
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!!! PURE MOUNTAIN BIKING!!! THE BEST!!!
Thank you Jack! Glad you enjoyed the video!
showing how many injuries happen before you get ''the shot'' , love it fall down get up , power on i know im late but great content
Just mind blowing how sick you guys are going through these curves
Yeah they were going so fast, even in the mud!
I WISH I could ride with you guys! Its got to be the best experience riding with people better than you!
Not only did he send that jump once and have a bigger case then OJ he had the balls to send it again right after and stomp it..... mad props 🙏 Keep sending it 👍
just found this.. good video and some real proper riding!! subbed.
You guys are crazy. Whenever i watch your edits i just wanna go out and ride my bike 😁👍🏼. Glad Radde fährt Radd recommended you guys.
Haha thanks man, glad to hear that! Yeah Radde is the man, he seems like a nice guy and is a very talented rider/filmer!
Will Greenfield yeah he‘s got some nice skills. For me one of the best bike channels
Love your videos!
Thank you, glad you enjoy them!
Alfie is the champ! How the hell he held that case is beyond me!
Yeah i know, what is he playing at!
Kick ass video dude.
You guys all did great but that hard tail dude has balls to be out there! Hat off to him for sure!!!!
Haha yeah Alfie is a madman doing that big ol' gap on the XC hardtail!!
He KILLED IT on that hardtail!!!
9:41 who forgot their tools??
Great vid Will! You inspired me to start my mtb channel! Also what camera do you use?
Camera Gear: Sony A6300 Sony 18-105mm f4 OSS G lens Sony ECM mic

Awesome shredding!!!!
13:43 use full face helmet!
Mad skills and sick video!

Man, that section at @10:45 is awesome. Have mostly flat cross country stuff where I'm at but wish I could turn and transition into turns like that!
Great Videos, Enjoyed Watching.
Thank you!
Mad skillz! Great video!
Thank you dawg!
sick video please do more like this, + mtb photoshoots please!!
Mad respect to the hefty guy! No frills, old school. If he’d get in little better shape the rest of the bunch couldn’t hang with him
Yessir Alfie is a don, he's back on a full-sus now and super fast!
That's a nice soft trail on a park nice video 👍
Love the vid man million thumbs up for the hard tail rider
Thank you Brian!

fantastic video actually I first thought - well WAY too long but I watched every minute of it. very nice group of friends too :-)
Nice riding, enjoyed that!
Thanks Adam!
just found this channel and coming from a bmx guy i think this shit is so tight. Definitely gonna be watching you guys all the time seeing that winter eats up the riding season where i live. Are any of those guys racing amateur? They look insanely fast.
Thanks man, glad to hear you enjoyed the video! They're all in the senior/master category here in the UK, which is the same as Amateur i think!
They all rocked🤙🤙🤙
The great thing bout will is he tells you the bikes and gear and sometimes location
You can do everyhting on a hardtail downhill slopestyle xc like everything Hardtail = Psychopath
Work
Dude...This was amazing. Where I'm from, it doesn't rain very often so I don't get the opportunity to ride much like this, lol. You guys get great grip in that slop.
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed the video! Lucky you haha!! Riding in the rain is fun until you have to go home soaked and have to wash all your gear :(
Greatest 16.24 minutes of CZcams ever
In Scotland the trails are so muddy and slippy to ride but that’s is what makes them more fun but also having friends to ride the trails with as well
