Cheers for all the positive feedback! It was an honour for myself, Robbie Meade and the team to be part of Xgames after watching it ourselves for all these years! Hats off to all the other Real Mtb Riders and Filmers for killing it with their parts 🤯

Not certainly.... Some people like Danny were born on a bike. Seriously made to sit on that sort of light steel. Like it's born with them.. I think its why some can't do it. Most people can't do it... Its a skill yes but there's something else to this sore of thing... Like next level. Danny is mountain biking.

Every time I watch Danny, I think: that’s amazing, how did he come up with that?! For the newcomers, you have to watch the older vids too. The inspired cycles one set in Edinburgh is the first and my favorite, but I’m a bit biased since I come from there. It adds an extra dimension when you know the location or the tricks

[@Hassan-Alnajjar]

Actually these bikes mostly in videos are custom made for pro's based on their geometry, So, if you purchase one, unfortunately it won't be the same, That's why building a bike by yourself with different aftermarket parts is much better, although it could be expensive, but it's worth it.
