Always makes my day seeing you shred like that. Are you testing the SC Nomad V6 anytime soon? I would be so interested in your opinion about it. Cheers
I bought my first Slayer, it will arrive in a few days and I have high expectations, after using heavy downhill bikes I think it will be fabulous, good job, regards
Great review as always! I had a previous gen Slayer and regret selling it now. Not sure whats up with the gopro setup this video but noticed a ton of jerking either due to the horizon leveling or gimbal? Also, I personally wouldn't recommend a 180mm free ride bike to a beginner, lol. Great riding as always though ❤
Hi! How tall are you? Currently looking at a Bronson in L but also considering Slayer in M according to size charts and the MX setup. First time seeing your channel. Amazing! Detailed review while ripping through a trail is astonishing.
Big brain: all modern bikes are "good." What they offer is different flavors to tailor the experience to your tastes and also different budget constraints. Even costco sells Intense bikes now, so even what used to be a red flag (purchasing from Costco or walmart) is still a relatively "good" bike. Just maybe not the bike you want. The reviewers style is simply not to say x is bad or y is good. But rather to say x tastes like this, it's up to you to decide if that is your preferred flavor given your budget. Which is a lot better way to review bikes rather than saying the bike sucks because you have different preferences.
@@thicccboyztv your point well taken and a very practical perspective. I guess where I was coming from is that if someone is truly using these reviews, which are great, as a buyers guide of sorts, it is hard to know if the Slayer or Shadow Cat is better at climbing or any other aspect. Some perspective during a review isn’t saying bad or good, but can be helpful. All that being said, I look forward to any of his content. Super fun to watch and listen. I still don’t know how he is so articulate while riding at that pace. 🤯
@@johnsospencer you did mention that you were over 200 pounds. You ride like you are a crisp 150! Would be cool to have a follow cam some day during a review. Hard part would be finding someone to keep up.
As I recall the Spire felt like it had a longer wheel base, I remember having to straighten out corners a bit with the Spire. This medium Slayer was a bit more nimble. The climbing position felt similar. The Slayer was a pretty soft ride. It's been too long since I've ridden the spire to get more detailed than that.
damn, the footage is rough this go around. Seems like the camera is pointed to upward and that rotation like its on a gimbal also isn't my cup of tea. But hey, of course I'm only a drop in the ocean!
