Santa Cruz.

@@thebigoutsidemtb I know they’re in Santa Cruz. Got some trail names for me ?

Haha 😂 I felt like one! It is, when seeing it in videos I thought it would be a no biggie till I found it in person… took me a whole year till I was ready, even then it was scary! You got it man! Just keep riding and pushing yourself just a little each ride and you will progress to that level in no time! 🤙

He is baby now 😂

It wasn’t a runner or hiker. It was a fellow biker checking out the drop. We talked, he was a cool dude and he apologized. No biggie!

@@thebigoutsidemtb my bad. Looked like a trail runner at first

If your looking to up the travel, and progressivity to the bike, then the Cascade link is a good option. I have limited ride time on mine and have yet to fully diel it in yet. But even just the fist ride I felt it. I don't think the link increases BB Hight on neither the Bronson nor Nomad, so that won't change. But it will help with mid stroke support do to the linkage curve with the CL.

Bro, come and ride it and you’re going to piss your pants. It’s crazy steep IRL.

20nm front and rear.

This is me and my friend haha! Took some big balls to hit it 😂

100% man! Super glad to just make him stoked and progress in just an hour!

Yessir! Almost no one has the means nor funds to do so. I’m very grateful to be able to live on a place like this and I think if you work toward it, you can get something! But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Keeping up a place this size is no an easy task. There comes lots of hard labor just to keep the place from growing over, wildfires, crazy storms that can lead to almost being stuck, etc. But in the end, it’s worth it to me.

I have more stoke coming your way! Ep. 2 coming soon!

Looks like the other way around if he gets to use his dad’s 170 acres for stuff like this 😂

My house! I might be hosting a dig ride in the future, so might be a good opportunity to ride it!

It sure does! It’s right off where the Chupacabras are. 😉

@@thebigoutsidemtboh god it’s that close? I’ve never even seen it?!

@@thebigoutsidemtb Thanks, I know where to look!

I’ll be honest. I feel it in tight corners too. But for what I ride, it seemed like it benefits me a good deal. Also, I swear you are the guy I bought the Fox 38 air spring from on Pink Bike? The story sounds the exact same.

For sure! Have fun out there and enjoy it!

No. Just the EXT coil.

@@thebigoutsidemtb ok, good. Volume spacers in air cans and progressive coils are a no go with the already progressive link

I figured that out quickly... Whenever I increased spring rate with the Springdex, it just felt better, and better. I have since added an EXT Storia LOK V3 to the bike, and when I had it tuned for the link, they said I would want a #500 spring and I'm 165lbs. So far, with one ride, it feels well supported, but still a bit harsh. I have a lot going on with this bike and setup so it makes sense that it is taking longer then I'm used too, to get this bike feeling the way I want it too. All part of the process though. Throughout the years of me trying to tune my fork and shock, I'm getting to the point where I sort of know what I'm doing. Makes tuning a lot more enjoyable and faster 😅

I should. I've been meaning to try a Nomad. Once I get this dialed in, maybe I will demo one and make a video on it. Could make for an interesting, useful video. The Gypsum color kinda grew on me, I kinda like it! Blue looks alright like you said. Yes! Once I wrapped my Bronson it just made the color POP! Love the look.

Well, personal preference I guess. Don't get me wrong, I liked the oxblood. But I think I like the gold a bit better. 🙂 Also, the oxblood came on the old Nomad, so doesn't count... I was talking the new, updated stuff.

Thanks man 🤙Same Hero 12 Black camera and everything, just on the chest mount.

@@thebigoutsidemtb Wow are you running Max Hypersmooth cuz usually when I use the Chest Mount, my footage looks shaky, even if I put Auto-Hypersmooth which is weird.

@@rohitsengupta979 I run it at the normal Hypersmooth. No boost. I would recommend tightening your chesty more. Makes a huge difference. Also, are you recording in lower light? Like afternoon.

That's so funny you say that. Because I just replaced the DHX2 with a custom tuned EXT Storia LOK 3. I only have one ride on it so far so impressions are, eh. It's a good shock, but needs a lot of tuning. The buddy that sold it to me said it's one of those shocks that takes a lot of playing around, but once it tuned, it's good!

I personally think the DHX2 is a great shock with the correct weight spring. Setup is key.

@@thebigoutsidemtb yea it's my little hobby servicing and tuning suspension so I took it as a no brainer but it is still a lot of work it took me about two whole days of riding back to back to set up but it is amazing once you do it

Can’t say much. But a hint is “jungle”.

@@thebigoutsidemtb No I get it. I will do some scouting. Thanks man. 🤙🏽

@@SoEnduroBro It's a sick drop once you get it! BTW, I will be posting some videos on this on Patreon. You can also DM me and I'll hook you up with where it might be. I just don't want to be giving out location publicly.

@@thebigoutsidemtb I totally understand and is great that your that way not just putting out the location everywhere. I will DM you if that’s cool. Thanks

Yessir! 2022.

Is it a carbon c or cc build ? I might get one but the colors are wack ! Maybe matte black like the dark knight lol

@@bodybycalithenics5198 C. You can also get anything 2022+ if you don't care to much about the glove box.

@@thebigoutsidemtb yeah true ! Thanks ! I’m out in Watsonville we should get a ride in soon . I hit highway 9 all the time

@@thebigoutsidemtb is it carbon c s build ?

Thank you man! I'm glad it inspires others to keep working on something! Demo is fun! It's been a hot minute since I was last there.

It is just the best... Maybe AXS Dropper Next 🤔

It’s for a thing we call “steez” it just to look cool. The bar turn initiates a trick called a “whip” which is what you’re seeing. Hope that helps and have fun! MTB has been such a fun sport!

@@thebigoutsidemtb Thank you. You young guys have some amazing skills. Thanks for answering my question.

@@HunterLo25 Thank you! Anytime, have fun out there!

Look on the other side of the bay 😉

Cool!

@@thebigoutsidemtb also I do this trail every day it’s called big trees. I think you went on it. If u want we could ride together some time

@@I_wish_she_was_there_for_me One of them is called big trees... I rode 3 different trails.

@@thebigoutsidemtb yeah but did you do big trees? The one with two jumps at the start?

Also I’m going on big trees today at 10 30

Appreciate it man! 🤙

Thanks dude, I was trying to keep up and not die 😂 It went well considering I had no clue what was coming up and on a rental bike.

Appreciate you my man!🤙 I've worked hard and my best to get where I am now, it is not easy, but in the end it is worth the reward! I've been trying my best to build trails for me to ride daily because I don't get to ride all that often, but dedication will take its move by adapting to this, like building trails and or features to progress on, something you can ride often so you can keep getting better even when you can't make it to the trails. Just keep at it man, just keep doing what you love and you will progress with due time. 🙂

They are in another way, so many more rocks! And riding them blind was something else! So glad I had people to follow...

I like it! I did a whole video on it that will be posting in the next 2 weeks, or you can access it early on Patreon now! I got technical with the suspension change and how it needs to be setup in that configuration in the video. Lots of great info in it!

Good find! Didn't see that!

They don't. On the climb there is a split off you take to get to the others.
