This is great! There is a lack of info on setups, it’s very helpful to see what people who do it all day long use, can you do one on your enduro? tyre pressures full sus setup etc?, would be great as it’s so hard to find all this info

[@AxlMetcalf]

Why would you want those details though? His setup won’t work for you... That’s like me asking loic bruni what his rear shock build is..... doesn’t mean F all when you ain’t him So it’s kinda pointless

[@janetcharlish6483]

@@AxlMetcalf right? Especially since it varies completely with different suspension and I can guarantee Matt runs his suspension pretty stiff because he’s used to a dirt jumper

[@AxlMetcalf]

@@janetcharlish6483 I may sound kinda douchey but it’s just facts.... the only relevant detail would be rider weight

[@evilc.reations]

@@AxlMetcalf so you can see what works for people and gain inspiration / info so you can dial in what works for you! If someones running super hard forks, for example, it'd be good to know just how hard they run them so you can compare their style and see how yours shapes up.

I don’t understand how you do a bar spin with how close the front wheel gets you the front riding foot. Insane

[@guilhermecruz]

I think he might flex his feet up while bar spinning

Just ordered my first dirt jumper, a YT Dirt Love and I’m so hyped to try it out!

[@rhysgriffiths2008]

Matt literally has the smoothest squarespace segues!

Only recently started mountain biking, but ive jumped bikes since i was young.I i appreciate your videos and humble take on everything. An amazing bike and i love the enthusiasm you have for this sport thank you.

[@Mk3Lew]

I’ve been waiting for this video for ages, love a good nerdy bike check!

[@Henry_Josephson]

You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this video. So sick!

[@connorwood365]

Picked up an alcatraz at my local shop here in alaska some how. Thing rips, even stock. Never had more fun hitting the skate park or pump tracks. 🤟

[@thatsimguy9956]

Omg I think you read my comment because I recommended to do a bike video and here it is thank you so much.

[@samdent3953]

Love keeping up wit videos mate been watching since the start of backyard trails 👍

[@andrewjohnson5128]

think I watched the vid before the pitty in the snow

[@C-24-Brandan]

The new Marin in white ect looks 1000x better than the previous color ways. It looks the best it ever has with that color way and parts set up! That's the nicest bike on the channel to date

[@noahsaide929]

Love it when you post Matt keep it up 👍

[@andyf518]

Real interesting Matt, cheers for the setup run through. My very first MTB was a Marin almost 30 years ago, in fact I can't part with it, still take the old girl out for the odd ride now and then.

Your an inspiration and a daily dose in my house. The whole family loves you. Keep it up man thank you

[@followtheboat]

My mountain bike days are long over but this was fascinating to watch. Give or take a hundred, your cranks cost as much as my FSR Comp did in 1999! Bike tech has come a long way.

[@mtbcolorado2981]

Today you, berm peak, evans mtb saga, Sam Reynolds’s, and Sam pilgrim all uploaded oh my god. Thank you, I’m on a road trip and this saved me.

[@laszlobacs9347]

Awesome presentation Matt. Thanks for sharing.

[@Charlie-jy2kj]

Loved the video. Very interesting. Would love a trick video, with lots of tricks with their names. I'm not new to the mtb community but there are that many tricks it would be so useful! Loving the playground build.

[@rapscallion52]

If the cranks almost hit the tire, how does the tire not hit your foot on barspins?

[@jakeevans1129]

you drop your heels

[@tonyhall4040]

How does your foot not get caught up on teh front tire when you're doing a bar spin?

Well done Matt that was really good to watch,learnt a lot.

8-9 days since last playground video, what madness are they doing? loops? big air!? an underground tunnel!?

[@Elim_84]

Any thoughts or ideas on another video of world firsts? That video was epic, such a roller coaster of attrition and success

[@brendenskwiot9574]

It would be sick to have both frames to pick from if u want the black and white as a complete or the older blue and pink or even just to have the blue and pink as a frame

[@ryanclark3270]

you should review the stock marin alcatraz that we can buy on the website

[@Dave1507]

Those cranks alone cost more than all bikes I ever owned in my life together.

[@tomhoward4445]

Great video but I would like to know what gear ratio or gear inches you run.

[@bigbird2451]

I was curious to hear more about the actual geometry numbers. I used to make my own frames as I'm two meters tall and no frame company ever made dirt jump frames long enough for me. But aside from just making them longer in the front, I also played around with making the head angles steeper than normal to keep the wheel base in check. I started out on a large Santa Cruz Chameleon which had a 69 degree HA. Then I tried 70 degrees and ended up with one at 71. And it's never felt twitchy.

[@likamuuk]

BMX bikes are even more extreme: 75° is considered mid, everything below (aka ca. 74,5°) is rather for speed stuff like dirtjumps or bowl riding esc and everything above (up to 76,3°) is rather for tech stuff. I have 75,5°. One big player is fork offset. Having a longer offset (ca. 32mm) will make the steering more stable and better for high speed stuff. Todays mid offset is about 22mm. A shorter offset makes the steering more twitchy, but makes nose manuals easier (I have 15mm) as well as a steeper headtube angle. Flatland riders for e.g. ride 0mm offset🤯 As you can see, theres a lot of stuff (handlebar height/ stem geo as well🌚) going into this area of the bike effecting the steering feel, stability, wheelbase and maneuverability of course (aka how easy some tricks like nose manuals are). If I had the money, I'd probably spend months bust trying out different setups and their feel. Example setups: -steep ht angle, long offset -mellow ht angle, short offset -steep ht angle, mid offset lol I gotta stop talking, this is getting out of hand ahah I love bike geometry😂😂💀

[@mattgies]

You might look at the geo chart of the Chromag Monk just as a reference point. They're one of the few companies to make DJ frames in four sizes (extra short, short, long, extra long).
