[@Crackdown2VEVO]

Tom: "What about these pedals? They look rad!" Kid: "Uhh.. purple."

[@hart5745]

I was wondering if the kid thought that Tom said "They look red." With his accent it kind of sounded like it.

[@Cassienope]

The kid was so good.

[@shreddingwithsean5452]

Kid definitely thought he said red haha

[@pinkbike]

too funny - Max was a little legend! - Tom

[@eldelabicidecolores]

@@shreddingwithsean5452 hahaha I'm not a native English speaker and, at first, I thought he actually said red, but then realized he actually meant rad. But yeah I could've perfectly been that kid and say "Hum. Yes it's Purple haha"

[@benhockey380]

Canadians not understanding New Zealand accents: “Those pedals look rad” “Um purple”

[@williamb7409]

I agree our accents are sick tho

[@powderberms5728]

He said they look red.

[@powderberms5728]

thats what it shows in captions

[@florianspatz7964]

“What about those pedals, they look rad 🤙🏼“ “yeah, they’re purple“

[@saiーツ]

Tom's accent is so thick the kid thought he was saying "red" instead of "rad" lmao

[@Mr.ZiggedWhenHeShouldaZagged]

@@saiーツ that was the best part lol

[@jasperharvey770]

@@saiーツ how lol it sounded like rad

[@bigmikeshooter]

Geometron is killer....

[@rolux4853]

Definitely! I have the EXT Storia shock myself and it’s by far the best I’ve ever ridden! Way better than any coil or air offering out there!

[@ItsMorbinTime03]

I instantly skipped this boring session to this

[@hostilityy]

WHY ??

[@Squasher26]

@@rolux4853 couldn’t agree more. The shock is so plush and absorbs everything without deadening the ride.

[@pamo7261]

G1 is amazing, so much fun to ride.

[@Eri94]

Do a Whistler bike check for hardtails next!

[@tinnekeroelands7239]

I'll give you one 2014 Dartmoor hornet

[@jasonlewis6914]

Yessss lol. love hardtails man 👍

[@owenmudie9377]

Yesssss

[@jamesmccansh3168]

I'm taking my HT into the park when I can get up there. I'm prepared for the weird looks I'll get🤣

[@brentyoungens22]

Im a new rider, just bought a 2021 norco torrent HT, everyone keeps telling me i cant take it to whistler, that its not made for that. Is that true or what?

[@colequigley9859]

"It's 2020" "There ya go" "Might even be 2021"

[@sylvanmw]

It's cool seeing Tom on pinkbike

[@andrisvelmeris]

It's cool seeing a brick in the coment section 😂

[@pinkbike]

A brick - thanks mate! - Tom

[@janetcharlish6483]

7:34 “did a couple test laps on Cypress” lmao I was there and witnessed Jason case the crap out of Brutus 😂

[@sykes378]

shirtles, on a hardtail, on opening day..legend status

That Orbea Rallon looked sick without any decals!!! Nice work bro, great little video on a rainy day in 🇬🇧

[@brockellis1022]

Love how tom is just rocking the jandles like it's just such a new Zealand thing to do

[@Blake_Cherubini]

STOKED to see all the whistler content this year! It's been too long!

[@theedmondsept]

Hey Geoff Gulevich, I loved your video with your Orbea Rise, and now your Rallon, dude I dig your way of presenting and showing how great a bike works and the video coverage that you show is great, keep it up.

[@gnic731]

I have Trek Session envy. They told me March 2023 for a 2022 Session. Guess it will be a 2023? Enjoy your bike Christina. It's beautiful.

[@MrJasonodonnell]

Well at least one Alfa was riding a 26 Hardtail.

[@eldelabicidecolores]

Haha Dirt Jumpers are the best.

[@JacquiPenar]

All hardtail riders are alpha lmao

[@rolux4853]

Yeah one Alfa...

[@mojaverc1585]

I bought a dirt jumper and would never want to go back

[@eldelabicidecolores]

@@mojaverc1585 same! even tho i also have a 26" freerider

[@NDemanuele1]

That Rocky Mountain looked Sick! I was curious about the Swingarm, never seen a setup like that. Wished you guys talked about it..

[@wernerprost6624]

The bike checks are just gold i love them :)

Positivity stoke is great to see - always love the MTB positivity

He said it's 2020 wait it might even be 2021 🤣

[@pinkbike]

It's all a blur!!!!! - Tom

[@MrGavinmccolgan]

I may be out of the loop but I see this man more than the winner of Pink Bike Academy

[@nickthaskater]

Because the winner of PBA doesn't work for Pink Bike. Tom does.

[@kevinnarvaez936]

Tom is a such a cool and chill guy

[@pinkbike]

Thanks Kev! - Tom

That dude with the dirt jumper is my spirit animal

Pink bike KILLING IT with these new timesteps for each bike

[@oliverraikes6069]

I absolutely love how Tom is just casually in shorts and jandals (the right name)

[@MrYesNeinMaybe]

@Oliver Raikes, only in New Zealand they were called Jandals! Everywhere else in the world, Flip Flops or Sandals! But who cares? If you shred A-Line with them...fine! If not, change your Shoes, or in your words, the jandals😂

[@oliverraikes6069]

@@MrYesNeinMaybe lmao I know, I just couldn't bring myself to type any other name. (I will stay loyal to the jandel's😂😂)

I JUST got into biking this year. (I live 5 minutes from Rossland BC) I've been waiting to get "bike checked". It's a 1992 Marin Team Marin (Neon colours), with bright purple grips, and bright purple alloy pedals. So when that kid said "Purple" I felt that in my bones.
