I couldn't just use flats on my hardtail (2020 Norco torrent) successful hits do knock my feet off. I have opted to use Cranbro's DH with a more freeride/dh oriented clipless shoe instead of your traditional XC, with good vibram sole for the times you do need to push and walk the bike ;) I think its the best of both worlds as long as you are comfortable with clips. For my DJ-ing and BMXing, I opt for just enough traction - BMX pedals and Vans, you want to be able to ditch when necessary.
I am relating to you so much, seems like we like the same type of riding and same type of bike (I also own this frame and colour). I know your frame is probably sold but you should do some more hardtail content. Hope to see more videos from you. Good luck with everything in life ! Wish you health !
danke für diese sicht des rahmens, ich bin erst jetzt darüber gestolpert nachdem ich mein herz für stahlrahmen gefunden habe. endlich einer der die offensichtliche wahrheit sagt was er sich dazu denkt! - danke! die ganzen anderen gekauften affen sind derart verlogen das es zum kotzen ist.
My man... this video helped me find the missing piece to my shot... I had an okay shot but the "snap the towel" explanation literally added a million mph to my shot!!! My muffins are now missiles... I had to come back and say THANK YOU for this video!!! SERIOUSLY... you are the man for this 💯
Thats super awesome to hear! Ya modern hockey is all about keeping the hands high and cracking that top hand! really appreciate the feedback and stoked it worked for you!
I just got the 23 model quite cheap on CRC,so your information makes alot of sense,I'm of a similar weight,but my terrain isn't quite as narly as yours over there in BC,but you gave me the bsics to start with.
I really enjoyed that and I learned a bit about my new fork too. Really clear, I liked the explanation of low speed compression, thanks man. Going for a ride now! :)
Nice channel. Maybe the On-one Hello Dave LTHT is something for you. Built for enduro + DH. long and slack but still playfull. I rode it in 275x2.8 F+R but for this year to full 29. Maybe for bikepark going for mullet.
Tech makes a good warmup because it gets your whole body working and warmed up. I don't have a ton of tech in my local riding area but I prefer to warm up this way as well.
Hey, great content ! Love it ! Do you run tubes or tubeless ? I`ve been afraid to give tubeless a go due to the risk of breaking my wheels, yeah i know about cush core but still. So, what is your configuration ?
I can relate I sold my fuse mtb and a my SL5 Edmonda road bike last year because I needed the money I regret it but now that I’m up again I can’t wait to ride again wether it’s road or mtb
Fantastic hard tail video! With coil forks making a come back, I was curious to get your opinion, specifically for a hardcore ht. I ride a Honzo ESD. Thanks!!
Sold my hardtail 2 years ago re watching these vids because you are the few that ride hard tails down hard trails. About to buy a mtb tomorrow because I did enjoy riding
Keep on slaying it Ben. Love your videos! I am just getting back into MTBing after starting as a kid back in 89, racing in '90, and after looking at the new Meta HT and Cromag lineup after some advice from a friend, I came across your channel. Thanks for making me a believer in the HT again! I was afraid I was going to have to go fully suspended, you have helped make me a believer in HT again!
@@BenYorkeMrHardtail thank you, hey I wanted to let you know your videos are super positive and provide a nice mood for me every time I watch them. I've got a 21 Meta HT in Sand myself and am looking forward to riding on it soon. Keep it positive and good luck 🤞! Life is amazing ! Edit: I'll post on my channel as well. As long as I get some trails !
