I just purchased a 2025 Rockhopper Comp with QR. Is a QR bike capable of doing those drops?
@Chewwsky2 ай бұрын
@@witchdoktor69 definitely doable depending on your capabilities as a rider. Being a hardtail the rockhopper won’t be very forgiving to your body or itself on some of the bigger features! It’s always worth riding and scoping the features out!

@@Chewwsky thanks. I am 50 so I have been riding for a while. I just never did any jumps. Not even something like 2ft. The trails I have been on just don't have them. But now I am in Woodstock and want to try smaller ones. Definitely going to get some elbow and knee pads. The body will hurt more now if I were to fall. Over the next year or so I will decide if I do enough to warrant a full suspension bike. I have Matt Jones to thank for the jump itch.

Late to the conversation, but holy cow! I agree with some of the earlier comments. You way undersold yourself at the start of the video. I ride the Hydrocut a couple times per week and have considered myself a solid intermediate rider. I aspire to ride the jumps in the future like you, but the rock ledges during the end of a hard climb @9:00 of the video, I think no friggin' way ever. You got skill and stamina. I'd be curious to know what you must do to consider yourself an advanced or expert rider. BTW, those on the Red Bull or UCI MTB competitions don't count - they are way way off the scale.

I hope they continue to make more jump oriented trails at horseshoe and really go after it since they get all the downhill mtb traffic in Ontario. or maybe a skills park section with a foam pit/air bag. They could really have something there in the summer time.
