Was not expecting that. I was obviously pushing the big Al a lot harder

@@s14tat with thr fork being tuned now, i wonder what the outcome would of been

@@just_Dario probably almost the same speed, just more in control

@@FISHYY_MTB the action 3? Get the 4 since it is on sale. If you already have the 3, don't bother with the upgrade to the 4. Having both a GoPro and the action 3, the action 3 is more stable, longer battery life, the battery doesn't drain over night, the app works better, the mountain system blows the go pro away, the lens is a wider angle but it's also less distorted compared to the GoPro.

@@s14tatyeah I’m gonna get the 3 because it’s in my budget. The 4 in AUD is $200 total. (With chesty, sd card etc.)

My arms got all slashed up by the over grown thorn bushes at the backside of the mountain and we got a few mosquitoe bites. Arms are itching like hell now

You want the wider tire in the front. Reason is that it is easier to recover from a rear slide then a front slide. Once the front wheel loses grip, you are pretty much crashing. If the back tire loses grip as you see in this video at 5:17 it recoverable. I actually do have the rear end come out on me quit a bit and if your body weight is in the proper position, it usually recovers.

Thank you

In his defense, it was 90 degrees and humid today

Lol. You got me there.

I wonder why your piglet felt harsh. I just tried the 2023 blue pig and it felt fine. I also had the previous big Al and my friend with this big Al had the previous Marley. They all rode great and I took them all to the bike park. This current big Al is the only out lier. It has to be the fork causing it to ride like shit. I noticed the fork was harsh as soon as I built this damn thing riding around the street. So imagine what it must have felt like riding the bike park with it. Once I finished doing a basic tune on it, it felt okay at the trails but man this is hands down the worst fork out of the lyrik ultimate and ohlins. But I will not give up on messing with it. I know that this fork is well loved for a reason.

I honestly wonder if they are going to change it up mid season. It honestly should be rated a black now.

I have no clue what Hawley wood this year is going to look like. I hope it stays the same.

Definitely. CHP is better than ever now

Yes it's very different. I am still figuring out the speed. Everyone and I mean everyone who have ridden the new gronk says that it's very lippy now and I agree. With the natural flow the trail I think it's too limping.

Stupid thing started squeaking again on my last run

It don't look that rough in videos right?

See how much difference a real action camera can make to footage quality? This is your first legit footage of your riding after all these years. You could have been saving these for years.

Yes and they also have other people making hangers for them now so you don't have to worry about anything else on them really

Did you tighten the bolts holding the drop outs? That is one of the first things I checked before I even built the frame. These are known to come loose.

@@s14tat thank you I'll check that

I am sure they are available used since people might offload them due to ragley not being a thing anymore

I think it's a 50, it's big

Oh shit. Good catch.

Video shows how much difference wheels can make.

@@s14tat the crank any difference between your cranks ?

Ragley group ride at Cunny next week??

@@bmfmtb sure. But my big Al is in pieces right now. I thought you said ragley party at mountain Creek because that would be even better!

Thanks for the compliments Don 😁

That is my Garmin counting all the jumps. I have a total of 255 jumps and 3800 ft of distance and 138 seconds of air time.

@@s14tat oh that’s cool I haven’t heard one beeping before or really seen one before. I thought it was your camera lol

@@WhitewaterOutdoors any recent Garmin edge has a jump tracker. Tells you the speed, distance and duration of the jumps. I just wish that it didn't block out my speedometer whenever it tells me I didn't jump

@@s14tat wish my Garmin watch did that! 🤔

@@s14tat what do you think your average speed was

Did you?

@@s14tat yesss

There are plenty of green trails there. I know riders from long island that went multiple times and never even touched a blue trail. Mountain creeks reputation is in the rocky tech trails. But you are into solving puzzles and riding down at a slower pace, the tech might be right for you.

You must be out of the country again because I tried reaching out to you before I head out.

Thunder next time. I will bring the hardtail.

@@s14tatsounds like a fun time 👍

@@EasternOT we ride thunder later!

In terms of ride? It definitely is the bike. The owner just built up a ragley blue pig and after getting back on the fathom, it was definitely apparent how stiff the fathom was.

Graham hills in pleasantville NY

The terrain is actually very similar to long island. I can train her to get more stronger and more fit.

It was considered a lot of climbing and she hasn't mastered when and which gear to shift into yet. All the long island trails will feel like a piece of cake for now. Yes the pump track requires a lot of movement to generate speed without pedaling. Good to see you tuning in to what I am doing.

You will get lost so prepare to stop a lot.

While my enthusiasm was genuine when riding the mega, I was more than fine hopping back on my hardtail. In fact it felt like I had a e bike on eco pedaling compared to the mega, even though the mega wasn't a bad pedaller by any stretch.

​@@s14tat Idk for me I feel faster on a hardtail but in reality im so much faster on a full sus when comparing times. and tech climbing is so much less comfortable on it lol

@@lukas-a9234 I ride for fun. Hardtail is more fun to me and it's not holding me back. Yes I can be faster with the full suspension on some trails but it's generally neck and neck in most trails. Full suspension for the most part doesn't interest me, but that is okay. Different preferences. It took me so long to realize that people who prefer hardtails are not common at all lol.

do i need the 30.9 x 150mm or 31.6 x 150mm?

@@amanandamalamute you need a 31.6 diameter. Why do you want a 150m that is what it comes with from the factory on a medium frame.

@@s14tat it’s an xl frame and I did want bigger than 150 but I saw a video on here and a guy reckons you can’t fit anything bigger than a 150 on this bike because of the bend in the tube or is that not correct? Thanks

@@amanandamalamute I made a correction in the pinned comment. He was able to fit a 180mm dropper from oneup after you jam it all the way in. The reason why I thought the dropper couldn't do any further down was because the dropper cable was so stiff that I felt like I bottomed out. If you can fit a 180mm on a medium you can at the minimum fit a 200mm on a xl

@@s14tat lol didn’t realise it was this exact video I was referencing sorry haha. Ok thanks for you info you have been really helpful 👍👍

Orange is very easy to miss. But yes that mega was so planted but so easy to skip and gap features as well. It's got me thinking about tuning my dh bike to mimick that feeling

He took a short cut. The second bike is a full suspension bike so it is a much smoother ride in exchange for less excitement.

I was going 50% capacity. That trail gets rowdy for a hardtail at a Dec speed

@@joseulloa8769 way to show off Jose. Lol I could go a little more faster if I know the trail better. But maybe by only 5-10% at most

I am running a ohlins rxf36 m.2, I was running a red 2020 lyrik ultimate with the b1 air spring. They both are very good. The lyrik was softer off the top, the ohlins has much more support. The lyrik is far easier to setup. The ohlins took me a month to dial in.

@@s14tat thanks for the fast reply. Accidentally I am looking at a Lyrik Ultimate 2021 😁 and your comparison helps a lot Thank you 🤩
