DIALED S2-EP32: Travel Plans, Q&A with Jordi | FOX

[@Markjale]

Hey Jordi. What’s you’re recommended setup for your toothbrush? Brush head shape, rpm, and with which toothpaste to best fight cavities and gingivitis? Is it a brush and floss combo or a brush and mouthwash? Hope you guys make it overseas safe and are having fun!

[@jordicortes4993]

Braun electric with medium bristles and eco-dent tooth powder.

[@povteer]

I hope things get going this time!..but honestly, I think I'm gonna miss Jordi's backyard! 😅🤙

[@bostondonmtb]

Yes, I totally agree!!! When and if the season ends, there should be a monthly segment "Jordi's Backyard" and keep us in the loop with all things Jordi. I am a Ford guy, but lets deep dive into his truck, or things he does besides bikes and Fox, and Jake too. I know Jake had a KZbin channel before this, but what is his "Bike Story"?

[@rockhopper70]

About 90 minutes drive from Innsbruck airport is solden, base for solden bike republic. We went last summer and planned to return this year but COVID kyboshed that plan. I’d definitely recommend it, really flowy trails and good lifts. And you can go to the 007 museum at the top of the mountain, and be like James Bond, where they filmed Spectre.

[@dustinpitts7798]

Not sure why exactly...but watching you two is so entertaining 🤣...keep doing you!!

[@promodsteve7882]

OMG he did it, and I watched. What about a vid of Jordi on some killer trails getting some much needed me time riding? Love the vids keep em coming.

[@maxbreak147]

Go ride Blindseetrail in Lermoos, Austria. Nearby Zugspitze. Not exactly difficult or very demanding trail. But most definitely the most beautiful place I've ever ridden my bike. First time descent took me 40 minutes because I had to stop so often to take pictures. Second time I did go fast which is great fun. Also there is some fun trails with lift access nearby. Pedaling up also doable on comfortable fire roads.

[@bostondonmtb]

Keep up the great work Jake and Jordi!! We are entertained by anything you put on video. I promise you that. You have done a great service to all us fans of mountain biking, racing, and Fox. Keep it up for sure. I'd love more talk on the enduro world too. I love both downhill and enduro. Keep smiling guys!

[@lynxg4641]

The more this lock down goes on, the more respect I seem to be gaining for Jordi with all this personal insight and discussion.

[@jurassic690]

It really doesn't matter where you are or what you do as long as Jordi continues to share his infinite wisdom on bikes, life in general and routine dental hygiene!

[@zemiak7]

Did I search for dialed? No. Did I binge-watch the entire thing? Yes. I love the content, thank you. I'd love to hear Jordi's perspective on the future of suspension, perhaps bike tech in general. Live-valve is cool but is the suspension going to be more digitalised in general? I.e I could totally imagine having the suspension hooked up with bunch of sensors and adjusting to my riding style / conditions etc. I believe there's a room to do cool stuff with it, but would love to hear the legend himself.

[@RideBikesBeHappy]

I can definitely recommend Serfaus Fiss Ladis. The big trails around the bike park are really fun. And it’s not far from Insbruck. Have fun and stay safe in Europe.

[@anf159]

Nice one ! Thanks for the great content!! Schladming, Sölden, Brandertal would be my top three for austria. You also could go to Switzerland, like Davos or Chur and team up with Claudio (hm maybe the wrong sus cop.). Insbruck is amazing at it self. Just have a good time in europe and they safe and healthy! Ride on!

[@artoutlawphoto]

You should go to Sölden. There you can ride bikes, without the intervirient of crankworks or world cup. Also nice place in Sölden to stay, they have a welnes place to chill.

[@Skogmtb]

You guys rule 🤘 Such good viewing during such a dud year, danka 👊

[@calypso2niner]

Please continue to include Backyard Chats with Jordi even after you go back to racing!

[@alexandergalarza9157]

Great Episode, glad to hear things are returning to normal and that most people are safe!

[@TheDavidjakeson]

Still loving The Jordi's Backyard Show!!!

[@npm5373]

Here's a topic if y'all are hotel-bound: Jordi's favorite tools in his toolbox and why. Bonus round for tools that should exist but don't.

[@Rickie-37]

I wanna hear Jordi's life story! any special childhood/teenage moments? what made him become so cool and awesome?

[@norbertschmied8976]

Really enjoying the videos guys. I‘m also in Santa Cruz so it‘s cool to put some faces with the brands. Keep up the positive vibes! PS> Noted, no more strava! ;-)

[@wesleybailey4128]

If you guys get locked up by good ol Ms. Rona when you get to Austria, can we hear the story of how Jordi got to where he is now? The Origin Story of Jordi Cortez

[@ianfurqueron5850]

He kinda told that story earlier this year.

[@bike_somm]

Thanks again gents! I know content is going to be dry for a while, but it's still massively entertaining and fun to see ya guys!

[@mattydarbs8720]

Jordi is becoming more mad professor by the day!

[@hasbeenracing]

There's an amazing rooftop bar in Salsburg.

[@watsonthedog264]

Man Jordi's teeth brushing form is so reserved, I'm impressed

[@rualert1602]

Trail etiquettte - my pet peeve is congregating on the trail and then ignoring those who want through.

[@knsgti1]

Transfer Post.... I don’t remember you guys ever talking about it. Service, set up, should you clamp the post in your bike stand, slow return issues etc???

[@RobertDStark]

Please guys, you need to make a video of Loris sound effects. Every single time he’s describing something he throws in all kinds of sounds. He seems like he’d be a good sport about it. You have PLENTY of content that’s for sure.

[@bullseye0112]

If the bike keeps coming up slightly nose heavy on even small jumps, where is a good start with suspension to level it out? I have a Ripmo V1 with X2 rear (compression all the way open less 1 click high/low and 14 clicks from closed) and Fox 36 grip 2 160mm Fox factory base settings for 200# weight. It could be a form issue or timing issue but I want to try and get my suspension dialed a little better so that it's at least set up on that end

[@kingstone9168]

May be you should Ride in Schladming when u are in Austria. Trails are new realy worth to ride there

[@megatryn]

Thumbs up for toothbrush content! We need more specs on that e-toothbrush though! Maybe talk a bit about brushing-technique? Is e-toothbrushing still toothbrushing, or is it cheating?

[@NDURcycling]

If you got time to ride visit sölden an ride the cool natural trails escpacialy fernar trail.

[@hesc2139]

Jordi- how many grams do you lose after a fresh shave? Just curious to see if you adjust your shock pressure accordingly.

[@Eric-fx9xf]

Great point on getting paid vs insta. I felt that one, being the guy who will always work on my own bike until I reach a point where I really need the help or whatever. Of course ive always been a rider(mainly moto trail), Always on a budget with 20 year old bicycles. There is a certain satisfaction riding these archaic relic. Lol I think I'm ready to step it up though. Too much time with craigslist bikes, I want a good all around trail bike. I've got a 1999 ish SantaCruz superlight also, I'm just going to send it on that 26er. Better check everything lol. ✌

[@skyreznik7368]

Timed testing between suspension fully open, fully closed, and your preferred settings?

[@Bikesands]

What product does Jordi use for max hair standing?

[@jordicortes4993]

Dirt and sweat

[@themagicillusions]

Thats a nice SRAM transmission you got there Jordi!

[@bonntanamolnb8824]

Hope it all works out for you guys, be great to see you back in Europe again! How about a feature where you guys feedback to us on your favourite trails (if you get non quarantine time) based off of recommendations in the comments...with a dollop of riding footage thrown in! Not ridden down there yet, snowboarded in Bad Gastein and sure they'll have some trails there but can't recommend riding there just yet. The town and place is awesome, very quiet out of the way style resort...

[@_kowono]

Video on extracting information from people that don't give great feedback (like my wife... "Er, it's alright") when trying to set up suspension?

[@jordicortes4993]

Just don’t. If it’s ok then leave it alone until it’s not

[@jamesheywood2869]

What model is the transition in the background 🤔

[@raulgarafulic3313]

I would like to see jordi talking about the bikes he ride and why does he like them

[@milesnathanharmony9992]

To piggyback on that point, maybe talk about a bike that was absolutely painful to set up, or just a bike Jordi hates.

[@Calispeedboi]

Does the toothbrush double for bike cleaning?

[@oscarbaudrand4017]

Are any new products going to come out in 2020? I am still wishing for the 38 in a shorter rake.

[@Rabrand1]

If you want to have a challenge go ride the Nordkettentrail in Innsbruck. Cheers from Austria. 🏔️🇦🇹🏔️👍

[@jakesingles8327]

Quarantine = nerdy tech stuff even though you’ve basically covered it all Once you’re free would love to see some race day set ups and even how different set ups act for different riders? while keeping the secrets intact haha stay safe guys

[@tobih132]

Go to Sölden and fine tune random peoples bikes on the trail to check if they feel any difference

[@camshaft1840]

Jordi is about as wild as his hair. 😂

[@eddieokeefe5826]

How many volume spacers do you run in that toothbrush?

[@ericsharp5079]

Jordy needs to open the compression 2 clicks on that tooth brush!

[@Nojikuzus]

Hey, I know that guy!

[@veloivars]

Question for Jordi! Fox 40rc2, upgrade to Öhlins TTX18 Cartridge kit? Good idea?

[@jordicortes4993]

You’re asking the fox guy if you should put an ohlins damper in your fork? 🤦🏻

[@tobyisbister331]

Safe travels Guys, Jordi needs a few less clicks of rebound on the toothbrush 😂😜

[@CCWclassic]

Jordi, you should post a video or chart w/ your recommended shock & fork setting clicks per rider weight . As a base for people who have Fox shocks or forks who pretty much want to set and forget.. Might save you from answering same questions from riders over and over and over !

[@charlestelesco1567]

What bike do you bring to Europe, the Cotic or Spur? Also bike shed check or personal workshop tour

[@jordicortes4993]

Probably the cotic. Spur may be a bit small for what I like to ride there

[@fabian12369139]

New transition Patrol on the background?

[@gmckenziejr1983]

Depending what your schedule looks like after leogang you could always hit this up: www.dolomitipaganellabike.com/en/trails-and-lifts#section-six 4.5 hours drive from leogang but a bit lower elevation should mean no snow and a bit warmer. Great natural trails and lines, some of the higher elevation stuff might be closed. Safe travels to the Fox crew

[@marcust5808]

would love to see team pit tours at the races!

[@jordicortes4993]

Pretty sure that’s not going to happen this year

[@dankgnar]

Aloha from Tahoe guys -- Did SC trails survive the fires?

[@lucacadianalbert]

Jordi you're just a grumpy old man...can't wait go go cut corners on your local trails 😉😂

[@calebolson6500]

Question for Jordi! In a previous episode you showed your Transition Spur. It looks like you have a 120 mm FOX 36 on it. How did you do that? Did you get a custom air spring?

[@jordicortes4993]

I did it by not doing that.

[@Ranar14]

I now need a WC of mtb techs brushing their teeth much like the old Boxxer WC's LOLOLOL

[@MrGusty101]

Follow up question: Aren't the bikes and equipment used in DH racing off the shelf because the UCI has a rule that all the frames and components that riders have on any given world cup has to be in production at least 1 year after that race or something like that?? Furthermore, what does jordi think we'd see on world cups if that wasn't the case?? maybe some crazy prototype bikes or suspension? Because You can buy a, say, Subaru Imprezza, but what you get at your dealer is nowhere near the Subaru Imprezza that is driven at the WRC, so maybe riders would have some modded out frames or parts and normal folks get like a "dealer" frame or fork??

[@jordicortes4993]

There’s just not enough money in bike racing right now to see any crazy tech. As far as I know were the only sport that sponsors itself

[@edwardo123]

Jordi: do you still roadrace or have you thought about going back/miss it? funny thing is i was roadracing, and got a mountain bike to get more fit, which in turn converted me entirely to mountain biking. sounds like it did the same to you!

[@jordicortes4993]

I really don’t miss it. I’m glad I did it but in general I can’t deal with master/amateur racers.

[@Calispeedboi]

What’s the weirdest trail trash you have found?

[@jordicortes4993]

Giant black dildo in Massachusetts

[@HairyMTB]

To film....how to clean a muddy bike in your hotel room :P

[@jordicortes4993]

Shower

[@tedduda5926]

I really think Jordi misses Loris so he needs to travel to see him. 😂😂😂😂

[@skeres01]

What type of floss and mouth wash does Jordi use?

[@cristobalmunoz9222]

Valla guy #ridefox Jordi Cortés a sail meni joop for the dalier te care in rumb a. Austria Jermain dejs a the guy a carg of tod #foxdialed good lucky man in to travel. Saluds of chile 🇨🇱🤘 😀🤘

[@MGSJ97]

Austria - go to Schladming

[@abdelhalim2626]

That oilslick casette behind him🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍🤯🤯🤯🤯🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

[@jakeharris01]

You guys should get a day or two at Nauders. The trail off the back into Italy is great fun and the views are epic (assuming you can ride back across the border at the bottom...). If you want a local guide check radcompany.at

[@threetoedsloath]

Think if I found that stone arch I could bury my RockShox fork, shock, and dropper post under it and have FOX be my savior ?

[@markf3940]

How to rebuild a fox 40 with Loris and Jordi.

[@toddfathermtb]

Jordi dyed his hair black like Rob Warner? 🙄

[@jordicortes4993]

No, that’s why it’s grey

[@toddfathermtb]

@@jordicortes4993 just messing with you! my hair looks the same as yours! Grey hair rocks 🤙
