I watch a couple other guys too and often hear “not today” or just see complete avoidance of all these beautiful features. YOU send EVERYTHING! I LOVE IT!! So much fun to watch. Literally my favorite channel rn.

[@lukeesser5342]

@@abadatha ya but even before Covid they were chickening out of jumps and other features

[@abadatha]

@@lukeesser5342 The most important part of riding is knowing your limits. If they don't feel comfortable riding it, they don't feel comfortable. At the end of the day, mountain biking is a hobby for 99% of people, and a great many people cannot afford something like Bobo's (from the channel BikingWithBobo) fifth (I think) degree shoulder separation.

I love these vids..... I watch them when I'm tired and they are fun to watch but also chill enough where I can fall asleep and not be woken up by the noise of someone screaming or going "woooo" as they send a 45 foot tabletop. Thanks man. Keep up the good work.

I would love to see a video comparing your feeling of your ok’d sram code RSC brakes vs your new set up. What you like and don’t like.

[@VanCan]

Well I dislikes the modulation on the codes and how hard the lever was to pull. My TRPs solve both those problems.

[@nicknimmo6309]

I once 50'd that hip at the top of blood donor. Forgot it was as big as it was, came out of the corner and took one casual pedal in too easy of a gear and went for it. It was a bad time.

I’m using the versus tires versustires.com And I don’t put all my bike info In the description because that spot is reserved for brands I partner with.

[@milktop1]

What hubs are you running on your enduro and do you notice pedal kickback?

[@VanCan]

i9 hydra. Not when I’m riding

[@anthonyschullerdc4715]

So the question is: if you were to do it all over, would you buy the specialized Enduro again? I’ve been seriously considering this bike. My hesitation is that there are some pretty good climbs where I ride, but I also hear the bike pedals really efficiently. I also wondered if it was a little too much bike that only wants to go straight, but you make it look pretty snappy on the jump section of this video.

[@VanCan]

The enduro is a great bike. It pedals really well. It definitely big but I find still pretty playful for 170/170. I prefer being over biked than under.
