First Time Riding The New Dirt Jumper At A Skatepark!

first time riding the new dirt jumper at the skatepark and trying to do technical BMX style tricks including 360 to fake and 540 airs! The bike is a lot different than a BMX bike but it has many positive take aways. This bike was not designed to ride these small tight ramps but Matty makes it look easy (sometimes)!

[@CristianG13]

Its awesome seeing Scotty live vicariously thru Matty. I cant even begin to imagine what Scotty would have been able to do on that bike

[@mcsbikelife3829]

Scotty would have launched that thing like no one has ever seen

[@kevinmay7873]

Having ridden dirt jumps bikes my whole life, I believe most of the challenge Matty has is because of the Fireball's "extremely" long chainstay measurement compared to other Dirt Jump bikes. It measures at 415mm, when most Dirt jumpers are in the 385-400mm range. So the chainstay length is basically an inch longer than a standard dirt jump bike. Matty's difficulty isn't because of the wheelbase, it is because of the chainstay length. Most dirt jump bikes are much easier to 180 and 360 because of the shorter chainstay. Imagine doing a 180 on a bmx bike with a full inch longer chainstay, its the same issue on the MTB.

[@TestaFranco]

Nice of you to take all this data. Im also and old street mtb rider with a Blackmarket riot. I was wondering this because Matty shouldnt have so much problem pulling the manuals. Also add some higher bars could help on that. My flat 360s always have the same problem that hes having.. I throw down the rear wheel so much sooner

[@77oak]

Stoked for the HARDTAIL content

[@Honey_Daddy]

Technically a BMX is a hard tail too, since it lacks suspension.

[@johnsonjay60]

Dj content

[@Onlydansmtb]

bro its a DJ bike.

[@Honey_Daddy]

@@Onlydansmtb If you mean me, I know, but he said hardtail and bmx bikes are hardtail also, so that's nothing new on the channel. If you mean him, dirt jumpers are hardtails.

[@ashtonshelton8584]

I am LOVING this era of the channel. Keep up the great work, Scotty and Matty!

[@buddeh_bikes]

Loving the MTB love on this channel lately! So cool to see Matty taking a shot at it. It must be quite jarring going from bmx to mtb as much as he has been tho haha

[@BillSkatez]

Freaking good stuff! Matty, you are well on you way, Bud! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@calimongoose8433]

Awesome vid! Can’t wait for the night vid w da boys!

[@Jester68uk]

Expanding you already brimming skill set Matty, great stuff.

[@rexista1]

Another great one guys.

[@deanharriss2029]

You just know Scotty would be unreal on that dirt jump bike. Great video as always guys.

[@jeremiefitzpatrick9722]

That dirtjumper is really nice!! Great video!:)

[@24MPZ]

This was so fun, I could watch Scotty and Matty all day. What a fun duo.

[@jsbmx2039]

Good stuff. Ride everything

[@danpauch2035]

Oh yeah.. videos every day. Lovin it

[@cjay91_]

Hell yeah. Definitely digging the mtb content

[@sajmon_mtb9612]

As a dirt jump guy, this is so enjoyable

[@dltalex207]

Perfect content for me! I love any bike.

[@rywints]

That was sick

[@sockpuppettheatre8861]

Love how Scotty gives Matty NO time to doubt himself lol

[@1Life_Dee]

Best mentor in the game bro

[@BiffcheeseSpinoccoli]

Been messing around with a DJ for a while now and honestly LOVE it ….just not at parks. Might wanna try that out at Edge. Glad Matty made it work!

[@bayareareefs8616]

What up Scotty !!!!!!! Love the vids bro

[@peters6850]

"this is a whole different level" "I know I'm excited" 😂

[@kingleebz1188]

Matty is such a beast and a very very well rounded rider.

[@draleigh8881]

man, I want a dirt jumper now!

[@Honey_Daddy]

Matty killed it. Second try's the charm. He's getting dialed already.

[@dfrosted]

Y’all need to hook up with Sam Pilgrim next time he’s in the states. Also, if pegs make it to the dirt jumper a hang five would be interesting.

[@dvs620]

Speaking of Pilgs, he actually put pegs on one of his old NS bikes a while back. He’s not a bmx guy, so his tricks were a little limited. But we all know Pilgs can shred a skatepark. Tom Cardy is another rider who does well in pump tracks and skateparks.

[@plantedinpr886]

Matty is awesome. That simple.

[@alex_knight]

Yes Matty, would be great to see you try Enduro and DH on mtb 👍🏻

[@fulltang1]

Matty joining the Stark swiss army school of riding

[@sketchman01]

"what are you trying to say" "I don't know" definitely been there when learning new things .

[@WeirdGuitarDoc]

Enjoy Riding Bikes! Great Videos! Thx a lot guys!

[@nickdaigle]

as someone who grow up riding dirt jumpers but is also a fan of bmx this is so awesome!!!!!!!! they are hard to find now cuz its kinda a old school dirt jumper thing but try finding some 24inch rims and tires that used to be a popular chouse for street dirt jump riders you also could find ridge forks like bmx forks but for dirt jumpers then that woud really turn your dirt jumper into a street jumper

[@alexgordon4672]

slopestyle next man, be class to see you compete in that discipline.

[@bryanlafferty8592]

I wanna see Matty really rip a bowl with the dirt jumper just because I’ve never really seen that before and it seems really cool

[@Panchew]

Video idea, Matty does a trick on a BMX bike then the same trick on the dirt jumper immediately after.

[@Fausto_4841]

After witnessing Matty double dribble on at least 50 hang 5's, I'm not sure I'm buying the whole "proximity of each wheel" thing.

[@truckersaregay1219]

Gotta get sam pilgrim to teach matty some tricks that would be THE DREAM

[@natecowie1104]

That collab would take this channel to the SKYYYYYYYYYYYY!

[@sam_spray_paint_art7957]

Mate I feel so sorry for you your the man.

[@Next2TheMoon]

Be good to your brothers, my brothers. Scotty & Matty are a great example for all of us - if you have a little bro, encourage him and support him and love him through thick and thin. And if you have a big bro, do the same.

[@tripwowee3075]

Can someone just acknowledge that when Matt did the 540 he didn’t turn his head dramatically? I’d think spinning a big bike you’d pretty much need to twist your head like a bottle cap haha idk

[@newplayer3861]

I have 2 bikes a bmx bike and a 180/180mm travel enduro bike with dh geometry and 29” wheels that feeling switching between the 2 is a lot when switching back to the bmx when I do my first bunny hop back on it it always feels like I am about to go otb

[@markwilliams9718]

I like those dirt jumper bikes I've been watching Sam pilgrim's videos for a long time not as long as I've been watching yours though Scotty

[@jamesdaniel3997]

Matty is taking off with that dirt Jumper!

[@johnhollidge9408]

Bash guard for Xmas Matty? X

[@fabianhelle6001]

You should try out the radio sonar freecoaster!

[@RCman9291]

I use to ride my built mountian bike at skate parks u seem to get alot of looks when ur on a 26 inch mud tire with disc brakes and front and back shocks at a skate park

[@fire_node2416]

the rotation of the wheels has a bit more gyroscopic force plus the extra weight so if you do a spin or tail whip, you can pull the brake and it comes around a little easier.

[@melwalshmtb9121]

Regarding Matty's back heavy landing on his 180s, I do the same thing, regardless if I'm 180ing a full on 17KG enduro rig or a jump bike

[@JarSzn]

so glad your better scotty love you brother

[@koenschoofs2245]

Some tips for Matty on a dirt jumper: first off, pump the tires WAY up. Even though it's a mountainbike you should see it as a big bmx. I'd say at least 3 bars in each is what you need. For the rest, keep the front suspension very very firm. Like WAY over the manufacturers guide. It need to be stiff and responsive.

[@ChrisRidesHisBike]

Good tip: grab some bars with a little more rise to them so you’re not leaned over the front so far. I wanna see you find some big dirt jumps to ride, see if you think the bigger bike feels better on big jumps.

[@ShadLife]

What I do when I switch between bikes is I first do a couple of bunnyhops then a couple of manuals. Those two moves should kick your brain in and make you adjust properly.

[@coreycarnill821]

I think it’s time for you and Matty to meet up with Sam Pilgram!

[@calimongoose8433]

Can Marty do a proper turn down fuuf ? Would look super awesome!

[@adamdavidson2095]

I took a break from the channel for awhile. I love bmx but our family has really gotten into mtb. 5 kids and my wife. I'm very stoked about the channel lately. I get bmx, mtb, some gravel-bikes. It's just so great to see your overall love and passion for cycling. Maybe this old man should add a bmx bike to the mtb and gravel-bike collection. Thanks for the hard work scotty and matty.

[@thebodybeatdownDiTi]

Matty you just need to make this bike your 24/7 bike for a few months and then it will be 2nd nature like your BMX..good job !

[@leonbero1974]

✌️

[@Tyedyetodd]

Matty try a 22” BMX you’ll love it.

[@Honey_Daddy]

Drew Bezanson is forever the fouf guy.

[@Chach412]

Matty needs a wheel set asap he’s gonna fold them stock wheels in no time🤣

[@kylarjonez4256]

Scotty looks very healthy in his face, like I didn’t watch for 8 months for some mental health reasons, and I come back and he’s got fuller cheeks. He looked so thin before.

[@TheRisemtb]

Nice to see you guys mess with the big wheels! Hit us up if you'd like to try a proper 26" Park frame🤘

[@xpndblhero5170]

3:40 - The reason you're landing back heavy is because you don't have the front fork locked out like it should be for "tech" riding on a dirt jumper.... Try locking the fork and see how that changes the bike. 😁

[@DamonCass]

look into slater dirt jumpers they have insanely short wheelbases

[@Zebra_Cakes]

Anyone know the model of the frame Matty is using?

[@junka1975]

I have a feeling Scotty might end up on a dirt jumper as well, he has been riding a few different bikes lately and a dirt jumper is a lot of fun. At first with my bikes it felt weird jumping from bike to bike but now I swap from each one easily. It's fun to try the same route on the different bikes because of their different characteristics. Matty, I think will love having the choice of bikes to ride.

[@shawnjacks2072]

Man Scott I miss your riding I also miss the subscriber challenge when you hit a new sub count.

[@itzzzjasper2347]

Brother love is the best

[@robocop2849]

Yea I can't tell if scotty is super bossy or just always trying to help his friends and little brother progress to new things faster? Either way great videos.

[@DamonCass]

add like 30psi to that fork gotta make those really stuff for skateparks and big hits

[@Gumbi243]

I used to ride a DJ bike with a 26 wheel in the front and a 24 in the back. For grinds, I removed all the pins off one side of the pedal and would grind the bash guard and pedal. I love seeing a DJ bike on the channel. Keep it up!

[@leezykp]

RQ made a video on his thought of the two different bike,

[@roguestudios2189]

Matty Cranmer next xgame gold

[@styrenerodder1]

Don't know if you read these comments anymore, but can you do an equipment check video, like you used to do bike check videos. All the stuff behind the scenes that make these videos. Why you chose what you chose, and what you have improved upon over the years. Thanks, bought a LITTLE of my own equipment to start a cycling channel. Some education from you would be appreciated..

[@hokimoki3677]

Can uou do same tricks as you can on bmx

[@kentonhilderbrand]

I live in ft myers and have always watched your videos. My local park has demolished a rollerhockey rink and is blank now. Want to comission a small skate park in its place and would love if you were part of it

[@eliroberts9362]

i feel like matty would thrive in a dj competition. he could bring something fresh to dj with his bmx background instead of enduro or downhill

[@24MPZ]

Especially now atleast at the Crankworx level, slopestyle courses changed ALOT recently. 3 out the 4 diamond series events had all sorts of BMX inspired features (dirt half-pipes, satellite dishes, all sorts of things). Innsbruck is still just a line of huge DJ jumps. But Whistler, Cairns, and Rotorua were all very unconventional / BMX inspired this year. Also urban events like District Ride are inherently very BMX inspired

[@donniehunter309]

Cool vid. I woke up my dirtjumper's handling by narrowing the wide ass bars to shoulder width. Really improved the handling in the park and the pumptrack both.

[@i-_-am-_-g1467]

bar width is super personal preference and also has a lot to do with body shape/height... but a DJ bike doesn't need anything larger than 750mm (26 1/2")

[@leenorman8433]

What, no punctures!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Rileys_dad]

Matty could backflip fly out the new bike, it would please the Oracle.

[@Danterain45]

I wanna know what car matty got

[@bikesandbalding]

BK shop Matty some hydraulic disc brakes!

[@funwithoutpants]

So, Scotty, since you and Matty moved after building your private park, what's happening with the one you built?

[@jimh4496]

Funny bunny

[@brandonblanton8886]

If you guys slam that rear end it will be soooooo much easier to manual! 🤙🏼

[@johnlauriebmx4225]

Anyone else notice the hair at the end 😂😂😂😂

[@twentytolife4401]

DJ's just feel at home on dirt. 20's feel perfect in the skateparks in my opinion. I have 4 different type bikes. They're all fun for their intended purposes.

[@MountainBikeZachMelHambelton]

No barspin? ? ?

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

i am impressed. but....as always. every single bike trick looks better when done on a 20 inch bmx bike. just a fact.

[@josephmull2158]

Mongoose love

[@Fausto_4841]

Scotty, please get a new shirt for Matty in the next video. We worry about the fungus situation.

[@jonlavigne3270]

Next up: flips and whips. Oh, and a trials bike.

[@mattfabian9758]

I have a YT Dirt Love dirt jumper and live in Fort Myers, FL right near you all and I would love to meet at a park and learn some.

[@kevbuck222]

@ 9min 50 seconds into the video I'm calling a flair challenge

[@doubleuponmanga1097]

hey Scott, I'm at a loss for words. around 2011 i picked up BMX and progressed slowly - riding a lot of street and park stuff locally slowly getting really good, I fell in love with a lot of creators and what I considered my idols in BMX and took it as inspiration to ride and get better. entering high school around 2016. I vividly remember attending a youth program for some shenanigans I pulled and got in trouble for and while riding in my parents car on the way to this I remember pulling up KZbin for the car ride and seeing the video of your accident. I was heartbreaking and went to show anything can happen at anytime and I was saddened that one of my hero's probably wont be on a bike again. fast forward present time, randomly opened a yt tab and saw this as the first recommended! I can not believe the mountain of obstacles you've overcome in this recovery journey and the fact that your almost 100% yourself! congrats on the channels success and the success of your accomplishments along the way of your recovery and i hope for more goals to be crushed in the future. i no longer ride as i dont have the time with life things atm but i still am always interested to see what you guys are up to. where'd Stevie Churchill disappear to? xoxo - un11

[@BrandoInIowa]

Shoutout Danny Mcaskill 🌶

[@Honey_Daddy]

New video? Let's do it, boys!

[@Mil_Buri]

It feels so unnatural manualing on my 26 inch cruiser. Seems like if I lean back hard enough to actually balance, I'll just loop out and that's one of my least favorite things to do on my 20 inch.

[@josephmull2158]

Sexy bike right there

[@andykahl7816]

The bike is heavier so that’s why it’s back heavy on tricks
