But your body will be sooooo much stronger after a few months of SS shredding. I can ride straight up to the top of the Santa Cruz Mountains running a 16x44 gearing, on the steepest road in the whole mountain range. My racing buddy can do it on a 16x51! Stand up and ascend like an alpha.
So smooth. Can't imagine the hours it took get that comfortable on a bike. I used to be obsessed with riding and was nowhere even remotely close to this level of confidence.
hey SAM i forgot to mention, good way to keep the jumps from getting muddy, i live in a area of the states thats wet a lot. we have some big jumps built and had that problem. so what we did and never had a issue since. we dug out the lows and between jumps and filled it with 9 inches of 7 inch stone then we topped it off with fine crushed stone and covered it with a clay and loam combo. you can ride in a downpour and still speed through. it worked so well i did it to my 700ft driveway. drains so good its the dream. keep up the GREAT vids my whole family cant wait for sundays and wednesdays!!!
This video inspired me to turn one if my hardtails into a single speed. I finished it yesterday and rode a bit. Today I'm heading out into the "urban environment" (as Sam would say).
Elephants have trunks….so do your cars and in the U.K. we wear our pants on the inside, come to think of it some of us wear trunks while swimming and the best is that Aussies wear thongs on their feet 🤔
Ride my dirt jumper with a single speed 25 miles (42 km) every day. 30 teeth front, 14 teeth rear. Got a frame with vertical dropout, also needed to install chain tensioner.
The next mod I'm assuming will be a dual crown fork...that might actually be pretty cool. I rode a bike with under 6" rear travel, although it was coil spring rather than air shock with a 7" dh fork on it for a while and it worked rather well
Which time? That seems to be a running theme ;) Seriously though, the trick with the pipe cutter has gotten me out of the odd pickle, paired with the de-buring on pavement.. it's pure dreams.
@@justinastelksnys the “you can’t hear those sounds from a distance” can apply to anything, even a fighter jet. Just because you can’t hear it from far away doesn’t mean its creaking horribly and damaged
About 3 months ago I turned my 03 Azonic Saber into a single speed dirt jumper ...no chain slap on ghost shifting AND lighter weight is why I went single speed tensioner on my Baby.
Sam mentioned The new form of a bigger slope style bike if you want the ultimate enduro bike check out what Lewis Buchanan did at 2021 hard line he basically turned his Enduro bike into a DH bike by just putting fox 40s upfront
LOL did you watch hardline live stream if so did you see Joe Smith crash look like he had one too many drinks on a sad note he might need HIA After that crush that was a biggie
I have found that most (not all) of my local trails (and there’s a lot in the Metro Charlotte NC area!) a 32x18 on 29ers works great. Admittedly those I pass aren’t very experienced or fit though! ;-)
Look how easy he ascends! 2 weeks ago Sam, you were outta breath real easy. ;o) (Like Me!) Not this week! Cardio paid off I see. Sam is getting in shape for more comps Chomp Chomp!
hey sam i am a new subscriber and i heard you like doing pretty crazy stuff so i challenge you to put a mtb handle bars on a bmx and at least do a tail whip i hope i am noticed
Boyz and Girlz this dude can magically assemble a MTB hopper just by dropping it on the ground, so of course he can pedal uphill with a single gear, the rest of the mortals walks it.
I think you guys could do a biking vocabulary some day it's raining. I believe that would be entertaining and educational for your older viewers. Bonk nob nar and manny man
Ya I mean with the momentum that you carry on theses tracks and skateparks doesn't seem like you would be rowing through gears. One single just like the jump bike seems to make sense.
I love the way , how Sam is painting the most parts himself, absolutely same as me. But there is a big difference , how rich he is and how rich I am .. 😁👌😂🤙🙌
For someone with sponsors, why do you bodge and shittly spray all your parts? 🤷♂️ I would be calling my sponsors like can I have new forks in this custom colourway! 👌🏻😂
Prob because he wants me to keep to his roots and be a lil different than every other rider out there plus it’s funny to watch haha. I don’t know if you have seen the park tool and sram videos for bike maintenance there def not very entertaining haha
@@oldbikeguy3712 nah I get it's entertainment value! 0 fucks given approach lol, but would be nice to see some new parts now and again. 👀 I think the only new things he puts on is his own grips. 😂
Hey! Awesome video as always! Always good and entertaining as well as exciting dude! Thank You for the video! Best of luck from me and my Channel!👍❤️🏴
