This channel is here to help people get stoked and learn more about Mountain Biking! The last few years have been quite the ride with a lot of life experiences and challenges with Kyle building our RU-vid channel while making memories together.
As that chapter sadly closes, I am so thankful to still have the opportunity to continue what we had built together and I thank you all for continuing to believe in me.

Fun blast from the past watching you shred some of my projects! I am the stormin Mormon and managed shake n bake build as well so cool to see they made your list of faves!
Very well done, thanks. Only other comment I can think of is when you mention clockwise and clockwise, it is unclear of perspective. Looking from the end of the grip inwards?
I'd really like to see the math behind this because im pretty sure that it would show that the scoop is exactly what it sounds like. You're creating tension between the bars and pedals in order to have enough leverage to pull the rear end up to the front wheel's height. The momentum created by the initial spring up just helps boost the height over what you can get by just power lifting your rear wheel while leaving the front down. Great explanation and visuals overall though, regardless of the scoop definitions!
Fantastic comparison brother. I once blasted around on an Intense, not quiet as old school, cracked 2 frames... oh the memories...... Great video Sir. Thanks bud.
I know how to get my front wheel up I've done it high enough that i just went backwards i just need to force myself to remember to push forward and pull with my feet to
U forgot to mention a little note that usually help and thats staying relaxed and calm when wheels in the air its such n obvious and little bit of advice yet so useful
Great movie. In about 50 days I'll be road-tripping with two friends in the states. I'll make a timelapse. What are your settings? And what was the interval time between the pictures?
I got one on my new 2024 emtb cube stereo I'm 5,10 with shoes on frame large just perfect but not found the need for my dropper as yet! It shoots way up (fox transfer) but only need 1.6 to 2in of travel up and I'm set at perfect ride hight glad it's there though bit of a pain in the ass at times needing pumped few times before it works if left a day or so! It's brand new aswell they just released the 2024 transfer hopefully that's better
I live in north Meridian so I drove down to view this new bike park today to scope out. Fantastic park overall with all kinds of activities for everyone. I'll be riding at this place often.
29" wheels were the real breakthrough. Before that it was disc brakes. It's kinda funny though to see him struggle to make sharp cuts on the bigger wheels.
i feel like this shows how much riding in general has changed . riding back then you really needed to muscle stuff around. them bikes were heavier and tighter.
April을 통해 배웁니다. April의 문제는 뒷바퀴가 턱에 부딪혀서 몸의 무게가 자전거가 올라가지 못하게 막는 문제네요. 따라서 뒷바퀴 드는 타이밍이 중요하네요. 턱에 닿기 전에 올려야 진행하는 속도를 감소시키지 않고 나아갈 수 있는데, 뒷타이어가 턱에 닿으면서 올라가면 몸의 무게가 속도를 죽이고 올라가는 힘을 상쇄시키게 되네요. 감사합니다.
I did the "Pedal ripped my Legs Hop" once, I can confirm. Your feet do come off the pedals when you jump. And no, you will not land on the pedals safely after that :)
A minor thing that makes a major difference on the rear stiffness and slipping rear wheel is lack of closed cam skewer. Open cam skewer are one of worst thing to ever happen to bike industry. They never get tight enough, the slip under braking loads and well grind down drop out particular carbon ones. I have a 1st generation disc cyclocross bike with traditional drop outs and I had heaps of braking problem using open cam skewer. A simple inexpensive upgrade to XT skewers and all the problems went away.
Hey everyone! beginner/intermediate-ish rider here. This guy obviously has more experience and skill than I do, but why do I feel like he made a poor choice of line, riding the hardtail? Riding a hardtail, wouldn't one want to choose smoother line to have more contact, so more speed? Or the speed gain by cutting through the rough parts just overweights what I just said? Thanks if anyone takes time to answer!
Love the name change from Fezzari to Ari. Not too sure about the channel name change, though?? Surely, you must to be able to think of a more fitting, fun and expressive name than just plain "April". Maybe that's still in the works. I hope so! Best wishes, April!
It wasn’t a fun and expressive name before 🤷♀️ I did put a lot of thought into it and I wanted to keep a familiarity to it and keep it tied to the brand. Sorry you don’t like it.
