These Trails Look Good and Ride Better

Dean's a lucky guy, he get's a "sorry sorry sorry" after the "wait wait wait". 😂😤 (also jealous of these trails...)

[@JustJake77]

Dean is an Island legend! His channel showcases some of the island's best hidden gems.

[@WaterRSappP]

im completely fascinated!! you land so effortlessly and lightly!

[@Chubacca838]

That lower part's got some big growth to it, amazing forest! Surreal

[@randomvids_726]

Just went on my first off-road biking yesterday. Nice vid!

[@ddangerousddave]

Thanks, and hope you enjoyed your ride! It's been almost 27 years since my first time mountain biking 👍

[@randomvids_726]

@@ddangerousddave Wow! You are a very good biker!

[@aubreyoftheshire]

Extreme Dean and Dangerous Dave, love to see it!

[@geraldomcderyl2262]

Dude, moments like at 15:45 are probably the most stress-inducing when I watch trail vids. Rocky terrain, big gaps, frantic corners... None of it beats the mental image of the handlebars instantly wedging between a couple of trees at 25+ mph. That said, it's always a good time watching people on bikes run the sketchiest routes. 🤘

[@harryls1283]

Dude, I am glad you are back. You, Dale, Nick and Alex from Singletrack Sampler and my go to guys to watch really good content. Unless you are on vacation with your family, keep doing videos. 🤙😊

[@Cajo22]

Bike choice was spot on!! Handled all the rough stuff perfectly and the excellent rider that Dean is 😉 😄 Enjoy!!💪

[@johntate5284]

Camera setup is perfect! Content, EPIC!

[@ddangerousddave]

Glad you enjoyed it. Things are feeling pretty dialed now.

[@fivetool]

Great video, Dave. Dean is a great rider.

[@ddangerousddave]

Thanks, and yes he is! I'm glad he took it easy so I could keep him in view 😆

[@joehozzy2616]

Awesome trail and features!

[@montyjack9179]

Nice to see you back D-Dave. 💯👋👍

[@jpjpJPJPG]

Thanks Dave!

[@EggShen905]

Those were some unique trails. Great work!

[@AlexGelinas42069]

Dave went full geowizard with the "am I recording?"

[@timbershadow1]

Super sick trail!!!

[@niklasbirksted8175]

Hey Dave, would you consider adding display showing your speed? It'd be nice to be able to get a feel for how fast you're going through the various sections/types of terrain. All the best, Niklas

[@oscarj7072]

Literally just started watching these videos about under a week ago and this seems so sick man, looks so fun and satisfying and something I'd love to start doing (obviously not these types of trails xd) If you were to recommend a budget starter bike for a beginner are there any that stand out above others? Thanks and props to you man you are fucking sick at what you do

[@trailjockeytj6160]

I’m not so much, a fan of sitting and watching the bikes, although I know they have their place, but truly, I couldn’t tell you were on the bikes, most of the time every now and again, when you get a pedal stroke and I could hear the wind of the motor, but I just tried to ignore it. Just watch the incredible riding!

[@robcameron9351]

Great riding!

[@equi]

Man.. i went with the Orbea Wild because I thought maybe the Levo wasnt aggressive enough and couldnt handle parks.. but man.. it seemed to eat it up pretty good.

[@ddangerousddave]

To be honest, I thought the exact same thing. The Levo wasn't on my radar because I wanted a 170/170 ebike, but I couldn't resist trying it when IMBY got their demo fleet. I got about four rides in before I had to return it and was very impressed. It was super easy to get along with and I felt comfy riding double black trails from the get go. For reference, this was my second ride on the Levo and I was riding new trails and following a very fast rider. It definitely rode its way onto the short list of full power ebikes for me. I would still consider putting on a 170 fork and Cascade link on if I bought one, but the stock 160/150 did much better than expected even with little-to-no time spent setting it up.

[@Cajo22]

@@ddangerousddaveAmen to that 🙏 I couldn’t agree more!! 😉 Definitely one of the best, or even the best, full power ebike on the market!! Balanced and easy to ride!! Had a Gen2 and now a Gen3 (all the geometry adjustment is awesome) and I wouldn’t risk to make a switch to another bike 👍 Keep enjoying it till you can!! 😄

[@dannysalasmtb]

Wow, you should do color grading tutorial/video settings. This looks really good.

[@ChippyTim]

Just bought one of these Levo’s after my last one got nicked, great bikes. Is this on the Osmo camera?

[@CROKUN5]

great video again

[@MarioLamRedRebel]

Dangerous Dave....... Where is the danger 🤗 Long time see your video and am happy to do. How are you and how is your family ? Keep on sending videos and Greetings from the Netherlands

[@ManeMtb]

Sick riding!💪 Btw, do you use external mic attached somehwere to the frame since sound is amasing, pure ASMR

[@janthomas7244]

Hi Dave I was wondering where you find the trails you ride, I wanted to try to find some near me but all I get are soft viewing trails. Thx 🎉

[@ddangerousddave]

I use Trailforks. You need to pay for full functionality with the mobile version, but you can still browse on the desktop app for free. Great way to seek out new trails.

[@clay-f5h]

great video keep going

[@ddangerousddave]

More to come 😉

[@anthonyfelipe1298]

Nice ride and trail!what camera are you using and video setting?thank you!

[@janthomas7244]

Hi Dave, I’ve been thinking about starting to record my bike rides but I’m hesitant on buying the Action 4 camera given that I don’t have a chin helmet (I have a regular helmet they only covers the top part of the head) and I don’t know if I’ll end up with good footage also if I do buy it will the 3D mount you use be compatible with it? Thanks, love your vids been watching for 2 years now 🎉

[@ddangerousddave]

Some people mount a camera underneath the visor of their half-shell helmets, but I've never tried that myself. For the kind of riding I do, I prefer using a full face helmet which is also handy for filming as I can use a chin mount. As for 3d printed mounts, ProBike 3d makes mounts for almost all types of full face helmets.

[@Jan07362]

Well impresion of turbo levo so far vs what youve ridden before?

[@michaeledwards5241]

What did you think of the Levo?

[@Trutoke]

I have one. My only bitch is that a bike that expensive should come with better brakes. Comes with SRAM Code brakes. 1st thing I did was swap out with Shimanos, tried and true.

[@michaeledwards5241]

@@Trutoke I just added some HS2 rotors and sintered pads. Awesome setup for a little extra money.

[@Cajo22]

@@michaeledwards5241 HS2 220mm rotors, MTX Gold pads, Maxima fluid. Best brakes ever! Try it!!👍

[@UrbanLineProductions]

With the code r brakes? Did you feel anything different with the maxima fluid you are talking about,​because i saw it is dot 4. I have the hs2 rotors and semi metallic brake pads and cant really say that they are powerful enough, even after a recent bleed and i weigh in at 70kg 🤷‍♂️@@Cajo22
