Boy, the Wolfman is a man and a half ..... I love to see him riding and using the dropper post. He needs a wider handlebar.

[@armandocardenas6094]

Nothing beats the view from Mt Nebo.

[@gregnowak2492]

These are great videos! You are not working on a bike, upgrading a bike, not reviewing a bike.......but you guys are ENJOYING the bikes. It is great to see you out and about!

[@jackanddan]

Happy happy spring to the Wolf tic nation, we just got back from spring break. They didn’t even allow bikes where we were crazy hills super fun hiking the whole time we were like we were to have some bikes right now lol

[@brandihodges9548]

Those were fun trails...even if we had to walk some!!!

[@Reggie-Dynamite]

i was there that morning. My 4runner made the final edit. 😄

[@whitehammeer]

I just ran into your father at Best buy today. 😂😂 So awesome!!! It was nice to meet him!!

[@jakebrooks2100]

I like tarantula hawk the other direction going ccw is way more fun!

[@LebronPhoto1]

That looks like a nice trail system. Hopefully we can hit those in our next meetup.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

We were thinking the same thing!!! Gotta make a day of it 👍🏼

[@nathanhotchkiss4842]

My son and I ride that trail quite a bit. We like going on the fast bits and the down hill. I liked it better before they worked on widening it and the burn. It seems like no one knew about it last year and now everyone is out there. Nice trail system.

[@chrisrice4006]

Looks like a nice trail. I totally get the aggravation of tight crammed trails. We've got a few of those here in Kentucky. Awesome video

[@danboyes7477]

Looks a like a great set up there and you had a fun day. Only thing I don't like about these ride out videos is that I can't come with you 😂😂😂

[@jakebrooks2100]

Muscle bike! 💪

[@Wes_of_the_Woods]

me every time I see a snake "I'mma pick it up!"

[@michaelsprinzeles4022]

Another fun episode. Time to get with the times Tick. Even the Amish have embraced e-bikes. I lurnd me sum cyan-tifik stuff in this one. I actually come from a time when if you couldn't read maps you couldn't get where you haven't been taken before. It's weird being old (I'd say "getting old" but I don't remember "getting" just "being" old). Man, I wish we had some natural trails near me. We do have lots of rails to trails though. I can ride to the Empire State Trailway which is a network connecting about 750 miles worth of smaller trails (mostly flat & paved but you do have to ride some roads to connect trails). I don't know about Arkansas but in New York hiking doesn't get good until you're at least a couple of miles from any parking lots. Gorgeous country and nice trail. That view made me want to go hiking. Back in the 80s I could ride the hiking trails but now they're too crowded, off limits to bikes & I I'm just not fit enough to even tackle them with an e-bike. Loved seeing the e-bikes in the wild!!!

[@owenmcdonnell5940]

Come ride up in Vermont and New Hampshire.

[@VIC-20_Synthwave]

Tick brakes for SNAKES!!!

[@rudyvazquez8230]

🙏🏼

[@armandocardenas6094]

Kevin H went for it on those rocks.

[@khodges3333]

I ran out of skill on that feature for sure. It was fun to try though.

[@armandocardenas6094]

@@khodges3333 Brother, I hope that injure in your calf has healed well.

[@user-rl4ji5ne4o]

That slammed stem and almost flat bars gives off how short your legs are. I have the XL frame and could probably only ride it with 90mm risers due to the Stack being unreasonably low! (Somewhat fixed in the Mk2, although still not good enough.)

[@cunvericht]

Great trails, liking Brandi's map skills! How's the new wheel holding up?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Beautifully!!! It is a monster and yes, Brandis map skills are top notch 👌

[@armandocardenas6094]

Jeremiah and John, you need to look at those links that I uploaded for you. Please.

[@carlmederozemtb]

If you come to Australia, dont pick up the snakes and i see wolfman forgot his happy pills again 😢

[@keosoutdooradventures]

Specialized Status Frames are going on sale May 1st. should be under $500 with a Fox Shock!

[@nathanhotchkiss4842]

Get me in on that, I want to build a squish

[@SamS-ep1nf]

Just got mine from Specialized through Fanatik Bike for around 485 shipped. Beautiful frameset, very nicely packaged. Fox dpx2 float shock included, along with FSA headset, cap and spacers, chainring guide, chainstay protection, foam insulators for cable routing, seatpost clamp, thru axle and universal deraileur hanger.

[@mtbboy1993]

11:38 Interesting camera position. Does it reduce the view of the trail for you?

[@northwestmountainbikeaddic6874]

Wolfman beed to change gears and slow his cadence down so you don’t wear yourself so fast , pedal as slow as possible in the correct gear it pays of once you get to the dh parts of trails

[@NonLegitNation2]

where'd you get the yellow bars on the Marin? I really like those.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Ha ha thanks brother. I actually sanded them and painted them. Before I cleared them, since it was a patreon build I custom painted patrons names on the bar.

[@armandocardenas6094]

Jeremiah, did you install a Wittkop Medicus on the red Marin hardtail? That's my default bike saddle.

[@arobledo6398]

Comment

[@natehernandez8693]

Love this channel

[@walkingnote1090]

Kind of a weird question but do you guys still do viewers rides?

[@robertc.iredale9769]

Hey dudes and dudets! Sorry I'm off topic, but I have a very important question for the authority on Aggressor GT Pro bikes. So, this guy was throwing away a 27.5 inch, 24-speed, and instead gave it to me. I put a new seat, brake cables and tires, but my only issue now is getting the front derailleur to shift up to the third gear. You got any pointers?

[@armandocardenas6094]

How's Kevin H's calf healing?

[@matttiggerward6147]

Rocks, unavoidable rocks… that’s all part of MTB sometimes you just have to either up your game or admit defeat and walk it 😂

[@malva1547]

There’s a snake 🐍 in my boot! 😝

[@turnoverace6796]

Brandy put your lack of map knowledge on the map😅

[@BdaciousM]

Not a nope rope!

[@slothsquatch5023]

I'm still heated about the last episode...get back to Little Rock and get that CarbonX...you have 3 Ardors and 2 GT Aggressor Pros and zero carbon bikes and you say you don't need the CarbonX...SLOTHSQUATCH MAD!! Was good to see Big Sister in this episode but not you two bozos 😂
