It's been a loooong time, but we're back out on the trails with a beautiful new Cannondale Jekyll! Last time you saw me on the mountain bike, there may have been a slight run-in with a tree. This time around I'm going to do my best to watch out for trees and put the new Jekyll to the test here at Ride Kanuga.
Ride Kanuga is a pedal access bike park with some of the most fun trails I've ever ridden. They also have a set of trail-style dirt jumps and a big jump line called Southeast Style that might be home to a 50ft booter. It sounded like the perfect spot to try out all this extra suspension, so I made the trip and am ready to send.

Jay Dalton MTB
#mtb #mountainbike #bike - Sport
Ha! I didn't know his buddy was on an E-Bike at first and thought his buddy was just a beast pulling him up the mountain lol
The man who can ride anything with 2 wheels.
Definitely need some more mtb content
Big wheel action will ramp up as summer comes around :) Have some sweet spots in mind
Camera angle looked good. The forks aligned along the bottom with plenty of trail and headroom. It avoids the dizzying affect of the camera pointed to far down, like so many people tend to do.
Back to the hills! Hell yeah, Jay! That backflip was freakin' heavy, dawg!!!!
Thanks Mark!
And another one unwatchable
@@jaydalton A new bike and so much crunching in it.. I'd punish your mechanic 😁Otherwise great to see you on the mountain bike again .. best content for me🖤
Mountain jay is back
At your service
30:48 the sound of the wind while you're speeding through the air is amazing!
It sounds exactly like it did in real life. Usually I do everything I can to eliminate the wind noise, but it worked out well here :)
Dude with the mtb content you got all my attention
Its been fun watching you ride all the different bikes
Stoked on your channel bud. Just a reminder, there's rocks everywhere and a reason most MTB'ers run knee pads all the time... not like sliding on smooth dirt or skatelite. cheers!
Glad to hear it :) And yeah I feel that, haha. Usually I'm a knee pad guy and thought I had them with me, but couldn't find them in the van. Have some more on the way
Awesome! Don't skip the bolt check before next ride, bike started creaking during the DJ section. Not uncommon after first rides.
Mechanic or not he should know this
I'd get hand guards and a full face helmet and chest protector. Though I'm pushing 55. Maybe I just hike it.
On the gnarlier bike park stuff I usually run a chest protector / full face, but didn't really feel this place warranted it. Did mean to wear some knee pads but I misplaced them somewhere :(
Love the channel Jay. The pov was good. It's as close to actually riding as it gets.
I do really like the tripod shots too. It gives you another view of how big these jumps are, but I know you are a one man band, and appreciate how difficult it may be.
Look forward to more.
Watched this while going 75 through New Jersey, extreme video john 👍
stick shuttle is sick lol
Sweet new bike. I haven’t ridden a Cannondale since the 90’s. E-bikes are fun but the weight penalty is big.
Thanks :) I haven't actually ridden an e-bike yet but am excited to try. It never really clicked before today just how many more laps you can get with the assist.
@@jaydalton Yes I get double the miles in a shorter time period. I don’t need to stop that often. Downhill riding is great, but I am sure with the tricks it would be much harder. Regular enduro bike was about 36lbs. My Santa Cruz Bullit is like 49lbs.
Immmm a hopeless mechannnicccc…
Youreee just hopelesssss…
Love me some bouncing souls! Damn e-bikes pollutin all the freedom sticks.. Flips were gnarly man lol good to see you ripping.
Cool bike, mtb designs seem to be always evolving.
Let’s gooo jay dalton is daddy asf
😂😂
Love seeing you back on the mtb! Can’t wait for the season on this bad boy
I'm so excited. The MTB action should ramp up at we get closer to summer
nice vid
Heck yeah Jay, you look so much more comfortable on this than you did on the pink bike. Tell me, did someone set up the suspension for you, or did you learn to do it yourself? I've found that to be the hardest part of running air shocks, every ride I adjust a little and it never feels close to right. I think I'm gonna try different spacers on the rear shock to hopefully find a middle ground between painfully stiff and bottoming out on a bunny hop.
It's night and day, haha. This thing is like a space ship compared to the salmon machine (RIP). I set the pressures and sags close to what Fox recommends and then messed with the clickers a tiny bit after my first couple runs. So far I have no complaints, but might delve a bit deeper as I put more time on it.
@@jaydalton I only have a fox 34, so it's like 130mm of travel or something. I'm also heavier and quite a bit older than you, (that's my excuse). I was hoping you had some advice that I wasn't able to find on CZcams yet, oh well. Keep on living the life my friend.
Sorry, haha. I wish I was more knowledgeable in the suspension department lol.
That was good stuff Mr. Dalton, thank you for making my day a little more exciting
Dang I wish I lived by mountains. I live in Lee County Florida. The flatlands.🤣🤙✌️🙏🇺🇸💯One day I will have to move so I can make some Sic videos.🤙💯✌️🇺🇸🙏👊
i love this guy he’s going places if he keeps it up
I’ll keep the 2-wheeled action coming for ya’ 🫡
Jay Dalton video? BIG W (i saw that backflip on IG not too long ago)
MTB jay is BACK. Get yourself a dh fullface it's just a breezy as a half shell and you can use the gopro chin mount which is one of the best POV angles.
DH Fullface is on the agenda. I like the look of the half shell, but you really can't beat the chin mount angle lol.
@@jaydaltonFox Proframe is awesome for air ventilation and weight. I’ve had two. Now I have a more moto fitting Rampage barge. Fox gives you a 20% coupon for crash replacement which has been handy 😅
@@mysterious_tim yup I'm using a proframe as well very comfortable.
Thanks Jay ! Great riding as usual
Thanks for getting me dialed in so last minute :) Bike riders like a dream
Pretty much living my dream Jay, thanks for the content.
That place looks fun as hell!!!🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
The high pivot makes all the difference in the rough!
I need to talk more about that in the next one. Was too excited to ride 😂
Great Moves on the mountain bicycle Jay Dalton. I might just get one myself now.
Thank you, Mr. Coledong. I would highly recommend it.
Damn Jay!! I just stumbled across your video. Great riding. Then went to check out some of your other videos. WTF! I would have never in a million years guessed you’re a moto guy. Wow dude. You got chops. You rode kanuga better than most MTB guys I’ve seen there. More MTB vids please. I like your style. 🤘🏼. I’m a kanuga local (whatever that means) and would be stoked to get a few laps with you.
Thank you very much :) I've definitely been a moto guy lately but am actually a BMX guy, hahaha. Appreciate the kind words and I'll try to make it known next time I wander back that way. Need to experience this place on an e-bike sometime soon.
@@jaydalton either way you fu@king kill it on 2 wheels. You did it right @ kanuga. Everyone has to pedal / suffer up the first time. Then e-bikes all day.
Those jumps look huge! 😮😂❤
It was a perfect angle with the GoPro.🤙
that bike sounds magical
You should add a camera on the back of your helmet just to see what it would look like. taking off over jumps and whips would be cool to see and the slide around berms and what not :) never seen a backwards cam haha
Ooh might be able to make that happen if there's a smooth spot towards the back of my helmet.
Yo! Some MTB content 🔥🔥🔥
Big wheels are back in the rotation
the flip was so good jay!! great vid!!
Thanks Trey!
Sweet bike, Jay! Keep on postin
Will do! More dirt bikes today / Sunday and more MTB coming soon 🫡
Jay your a mad scientist on anything two wheels 🤘
Thank you for strangling your brain for us, that camera angle was great! That said f-f helmets with chin mounts is such as great angle, AND we would feel better about you flipping 50 footers... you maniac!
Yaaaaaas. Kanuga is awesome
Can confirm
As myself who comes from a bmx background , I just got myself a full suspension. I just went to mountain creek bike park NJ from buffalo NY . Think I just gained a new hobby with the downhill stuff now haha . Love to see all the moto and bike videos from you !
Heck yeah happy to hear it!
The big bikes are too good and I really wish I started sooner. I feel like there's just this weird stigma in BMX about the MTB that kind of always kept me away. Think that's slowly starting to change thankfully.
Giggidy
First time rider on black diamonds ! He’s going to progress fast!!
cannondale makes the absolute best bikes around IMHO
We need to see this bike at Ray's now
Ooh I'm not sure when my next Rays adventure will be but I'll make sure to bring it along :)
Mtb jay, moto jay, bmx jay, aggro jay all sick
This is a split personality channel
jay needs one of those surron bikes its basically an electric dirt bike
They'll probably give him one of those as well soon
Surron would be sweet but I"m out of room in the van, haha
@@jaydalton theres probably some space on top to strap the old janky bmx bike
Jay for #starkweek 2025
That'd be tight
Your a weapon Mr Dalton!
😎😎
I find your vids looking for more information about Jekyll.
Can you give me advice about sizing? Im 180cm tall and I start learning how to jump but my back hurst on too long hardtail frame. Should I take size M ?
Did you modify your Jekyll ?
Personally, I would go with a medium. My bike is still stock as it comes, but it is the higher spec 'Jekyll 1'
I like the chesty for mtb pov riding. It gets the viewer behind the bars better and shows bike manipulation. You miss out on the head turning see what I'm looking at but I think it is an acceptable trade.
I thought about trying to do the helmet along with the chesty so I can swap back and forth and not miss out on the head turning and stuff. Remy used to do it but I just don't think it's worth managing all of that footage. Might just be a full face guy and use my chin mount so the camera isn't so high up.
what kind of dropper is it? i dont think it should be able to pull up like you did during a seat grab 23:39. i have forgot to put a nut on cartridge while rebuilding one and it did that but they're all different.
It’s the Vyron MDS V3. When I lift up on it, it moves up a bit but then returns to the bottom of the stroke.
Do more Kanuga vids!!!!!
I want to come back and get the e-bike experience one day. Would love to learn the trails a bit more
I hear they say in some parts -
Big wheels for big girls.
?
:)
You should bring the backflip to the dirtbike you got it all day
I've seen smaller youtubers than Jay get permission to ride the skatepark at Pastranaland. Maybe Jay can show them the clip of him riding with The Goat at that Triumph event to get access to his foam pit with a little 1 on 1 instruction from any of the Nitro Circus crew. Nerves permitting, he'd be flipping in no time... and if Travis was there he'd probably be able to talk him into a frontflip or something else super impressive. On second thought, maybe don't tell Jay that last part. 🤣
Soon™
Lets get you on some wheels out in the west. Preferably an Island? Like the Island of Oahu?
Did you just backflip frckn Big Brutus? Only videos I've seen on it has been about actually jumping it 😂 (something I most likely never would do)
How are you so good at everything😭
Jay, I just recently dislocated my shoulder I just wanted to ask if you have had surgery or anything I remember you used to wear a brace and wanted to know why and what you did to heal up?
I dislocated my shoulder a few times and tore my labrum, but decided not to get surgery since it has mixed results. Was able to get back to normal by strengthening everything around the shoulder. Google has all the exercises you can ask for, but I started slow with stuff like 'wall walks' and then moved to exercise band stuff where you keep your elbows tucked. Gradual progression and consistency is the way :)
@@jaydalton thank you for responding
Jay def needs a DH bike and to start hitting some big booters and freeride lines.
Need to make room in the van 😂
@@jaydalton Haha no doubt! Phil would probably let you have a go. Once you try it thou... it's over..$$! haha
16:23 had me questioning if i lived in a simulation.
You should try the skate park in Greenfield ma.
Maybe when I'm a northerner again :)
Bet
Only suggestion from me is that the camera angle is a bit too wide, makes everything look tiny
Noted. I'll test a narrower view mode and see what it looks like
Is that the line?
u deserve more subs
Thank you :) Just going to keep doing my thing and hopefully more people wander over and enjoy
It would be cool to see what he can do on some real tech trails considering how well he rode this (im assuming this guy hasnt mountainbiked before?)
this guy is so talented i would love to see him ride some fast steep tech on a proper downhill bike with a fullface
Coming Soon™
@@jaydalton so hyped breh
Yellow fellow I got one of those! Make it a mullet!!!
Mullet is definitely on my mind! I want to fully experience the stock 29 first and then make the swap
im trying more bmx over mtb and now hes doing mtb too
Seth (Berm Peak) modded his electric dropper post to move the battery to avoid what happened to you. ha!
I saw that! I’m scared to dismantle this thing though 😂
What state are you recording in ?
This is Ride Kanuga in Hendersonville, North Carolina
that flip looked sick🔥 jay always going big on stuff,always love seeing u ride
A 30 minute video 🤯🤯
si
think we need a moto backie soon
Soon™
8:46 - No one has ever looked cooler w/ a fanny pack..... 😏😂
Fanny packs are the ultimate MTB recording tool
@@jaydalton - I know it was probably full of batteries and memory cards for the camera but my brain is imagining you have a bunch of Husky Nation stickers and a ping-pong paddle in there for "Emergencies"... And possibly a blue belt. 😏😂
Won't be long til moto flips
Jay, is it a full 29er? Not a mullet setup?
Currently full 29. Might experiment wit the mullet in the future
@@jaydalton thanks! Size medium? And how tall are you? 😎
Yessir. Just barely 6'
@@jaydalton I am also 6 foot if anyone asks, 5 foot 10 if someone measured me 😉😉
Cheers for the replies! 🍻 😘
NO WAY! I live an hour from that park and im a pro mountain biker 😢 let’s go ride together 😂
Hey Jay, remember me from Motobros
I still remember 😂
my suggestion is buy a season pass to a bike park and buy a full face then itll get even more interesting
Plenty of full face and bike park action to come ;)
If a Swiss army knife was a human🤙
Where are your bmx videos and where is lord Spencer
I haven't really had any sessions worth recording lately. Hard to match how good the moto / mtb sessions have been lately.
Lord Spencer is a live streamer / van salesman at the moment. We recorded a video a couple weeks back that he'll probably post soon-ish.
Loved the back flip Jay and some of that rocky terrain was definitely gnarly. Cannondale have definitely given you a well built machine from the looks and sounds of it. A good solid performer. Having e-bikes for tow vehicles certainly could helped. Great riding from all the boys.
def e-bike territory
youtube insisted i watch this haha
Shout out CZcams
Gotta hit these on the BMX, all the trails. I know 69 percent of people will cry those aren't ment for BMX, that's stupid. Why do that. But it's fun and it's like smoking the field on a 85 in a 450 race. That's of the views.. suspension's for girls anyways bruh c'mon.
I do want to do a video trying to make it down some harder bike park trails on the BMX bike, but it's wayyy sketchier than I realized. Stay tuned lol
more mountain bikers should ride bmx, and more bmxers should ride mtb
This.
𝙉𝙊𝙏 a bad way to drop $5-7K on a MTB
Dammit there's 69 likes on the vid. Do I ruin that? 😢
Hey Jay why are you intentionally cuttin up the trail?
I like smashing the berms lol
do you make a living off of this channel?
He ain't got a day job if that says anything
Enough to keep the stunts going. Don't think many people could live on the amount I'm working with though, lol
@@jaydaltonI left my village for British Columbia at 19 with no money and a worn out Subaru. I ate lots of air for about a decade but the riding was great, 100% worth it. Then my wife saved me 😂
Crazy!! I had to wait until late night with the windows closed to watch so my screams were not heard. GREAT riding!! You are amazing and so talented. Stay safe!!
