[@robertocalvo934]

Of all the guys you have brought to the channel to teach skills Mr. Atkinson is by far the most articulate. Bravo.

[@kerr.andrew]

I do this all the time on bike paths for most of my life! but I never knew they had a name! I would also do this on a scooter!

[@hfkasdjhfkasdfsdjfhkajsd8961]

You're at whistler... And you're doing cutties in the parking lot...

[@listofromantics]

I'm a little surprised the GMBN video links at the end weren't for How to Replace your Tires (sorry, Tyres) and Rims. Being sponsored (or rich) must be nice.

[@TheBlackopsbeast360]

With Carbon rims those shouldn't be an issue

[@rivernet62]

Why no mention of the weight transfer? This works because all weight is on the front, and back is unweighted.

[@kenjiwalter5024]

Best cuttie tutorial to date! Awesome

[@lucasaugusto2338]

Pleaaase make a tutorial how to roost a berm! Who wants too gives a thumbs up

[@KitchenFSink]

They kinda did it...

[@RamzyTheDad]

easy. no brakes, and use your legs!

[@---cy6kk]

+Matt Dennison latest vlog has a basic how-to

[@mailtheben]

Hell yeah, been baffling me for ever! "just roost it!" they say. I'm like, "Ok..." May as well said just speak Spanish. If a vid exists of this, show us a link.

[@pkundrat]

This video shows the technique :) Check this too kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJXLgXqmeJx5aac but they kind of skip the progression that Bryn does

[@nikoyannaros48]

This is an answer that i was looking for.

[@zimmermanlandscape9287]

Hey Scott, Can you make a video about things to consider when choosing which size bicycle to ride?

[@benstewart5334]

I thought the bikes were really solid but sideways they wiggle a lot.

[@marcwittkowski5146]

And it's a good thing they do. If they were stiffer, the constant strain would lead to damage sooner or later. Flexibility means longevity.

[@coen8323]

Marc Wittkowski no.

[@liamlen8732]

coen yes

[@reboundrides8132]

coen 🤦‍♂️

[@LisabethCore]

@@coen8323 yes. yes really.

[@chrisgoblin4857]

I love that norco. It's like a mini version of my Aurum.

[@PPC4]

Top tips....Get someone else to pay for your tyres and suspension bearings.

[@carlosalbertocastillobetan6897]

Great!!! An awesome technique for new ones like me!

[@hollowroom8109]

this is extrem suportand when you drive with street tires really fast wile its make a stabill drift. ☺

[@josephhaydock3142]

I was looking forward to this vid

[@markmitchell2742]

Someone's been watching Phil kmetz again.

[@piotrlobacz]

Yep. He did that pumping flat ground video too.

[@chinonian7729]

Oh no phil made a video on how to bunny hop! Dude really? I dont think it should reeally matter...

[@WATERPLAYZ]

This i learned easy nice vidd

[@j.gonzalez2543]

How to roost or hit a berm pls

[@hunterdean9559]

Damn that track in the background is an absolute slapper

[@rassiracing5104]

Kinda like carving on a snowboard

"Teach me how to cuttie Teach me-Teach me how to cuttie Teach me how to cuttie Teach me-Teach me how to cuttie Errybody love me Er-Errybudy love me Errybody love me you ain't messin' with my cuttie"

[@jimkleijnen332]

How come you don’t lose the front end, applying so much pressure on the edge?

[@Coayer]

Scottie has a funny expression at 1:40

[@colbyperry3325]

I hate doing cutties, because I always take it way too far on gravel and eat shit

[@llIlIlIIllIIlllllllIIIlI]

bryn atkinson is a god

[@nihadhadzibegovic4083]

Hi GMBN Which bike to buy enduro or downhill?I ride a lot of in woods but also in the city.

[@justincase8019]

Probably an hybrid.

[@morinbaptiste636]

What pressure folks are using in the wheels

[@gregorwellard349]

Do you think it's worth buying a commensal v10 2016 for 2400 FRS second hand but bought 1st hand 2 months ago it's worth ~3500 FRS new

[@s1lwo711]

"How to destroy your tires"

[@gulfcitynd]

or bend your rims

[@s1lwo711]

nicholas danca lol yes!

[@s1lwo711]

You said me dildo? Am I supposed to cry now? lol anyway, at least you don't fuck your tires up in the gravel, as you do in the asphalt. 30 min doing this on Schwalbe tires and you will get them slick!

[@zombieboy444]

+Panos Valilis nah it's just somthin i say bud yeah but I think they are sponsored so I don't think they care

[@s1lwo711]

Yeah that is absolutely true.

[@BigGdh100]

how to wear out your expensive rear tyre without skidding 101

[@FloraForever]

you guys are so good at mountain biking, I wish I could be this good and comfortable on my mountain bike :')

[@AtotheR]

It takes time and lots of ambition it's not easy but you will become just as good as them if you keep riding

[@Bugattilover39]

You guys should upload raw footage from Whistler

[@raktimsingha9195]

How much tough would it be on a fatbike?

[@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo]

are cutties the same as the scandi flick?

[@MrRader36]

Where can you get one of those tail gate covers that are on all the trucks

[@MTBtrailmaster]

The best one is probably made by RaceFace. It has pads that divide the bikes and keep them secure along with straps for the downtube. Look up RaceFace Truck Pad. Good luck!

[@thepioneer6178]

should your front forks be locked?

[@drew6171]

Do you have to run lower pressures than normal to do these?

[@RamsayMacFarlane]

Higher pressure will help keep your tyres on with all the compressions!

[@marinesrock72050]

wjhat camera do you use to film these videos

[@damianswachta2889]

nice green bike what is this bike

[@samhughes889]

#askgmbn air vs coil shock for enduro

[@Ghrostillo]

coil is more linear, air is progressive, also depends on your linkage

[@afkw2630]

Tq bro pro

[@jestertheork]

What about full rigid?

[@ctowtf]

What is the difference between cuttie and pumping-on-flat ?

[@piotrlobacz]

None. They just called different thing like Apple does with technology to make up as they invented new wheel.

[@pkundrat]

Cutties are more aggressive version of flat pumping where your rear wheel loses traction and drifts - used to slash berms to turn on a dime. You use flat pumping to gain speed.

[@puppykik]

Bryn, future presenter ???? Relaxed dude ; )

[@Dovakhin94]

1:47 set the speed to 0.5...thank me later

[@jettaiello1808]

How do I do this on hardtail

[@LosihoTTT]

Holly sheet. I have the Dirt Magazine "Fundamentals - MTB Technique" video with a then very young Bryn Atkinson teaching how to do cuties.

[@pkundrat]

Yup - someone uploaded it on YT - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHXNlqBrh8uod6s

[@gustdager6743]

#askgmbn hi, i have 100mm full-suspension, and i want to switch to a 130, is this going to affect my performance ?

[@Dannyt7873]

Yes, your riding will never be the same. 130mm suspension will destroy your performance

[@gustdager6743]

Will I get use to it and regain my performance on the bike or should I get a new frame ?

[@SimoGG15]

great! 😉

[@joyceacosta7848]

did somebody noticed the huge flex in the scott bike? wow

[@reboundrides8132]

Bikes are designed to flex. If they stayed rigid things would constantly break. You need a little give for things to hold up.

[@BurninatorTheTrogdor]

What helmet is Atkinson wearing?

[@gerardliddy]

Looks like a Bell Super

[@alwin3705]

Bell Super 2r

[@GM-hw7rr]

Goes to Whistler *rides in parking lot*

[@samhughes889]

#askgmbn would we ever see World Cup downhillers using enduro bikes on mellower tracks?

[@strckhsn]

Jared Graves got to 3rd Place on his Yeti SB66c at 2013 World Championships in Pietermaritzburg for example

[@CodyWBrown]

Teach me how to cuttie. Teach me, teach me how to cuttie.

[@prince92dadey]

#askgmbn what's the purpose of a cuttie?

[@Pienimusta]

Probably just to train bike handling.

[@prince92dadey]

I thought the same, isn't the cuttie going to warp your wheel on the trail?

[@Ghrostillo]

What's the purpose of driving a unicycle? Being able to hold wheelies forever. What's the purpose of being able to hold a wheelie forever? You can do better manuals. What's the purpose of manuals? BETTER BIKE CONTROL FFS

[@christianlindner1861]

LOL

[@piotrlobacz]

+Prince Dadey probably. But hopefully doesn't like buying new stuff for bike? I'd buy new wheel every week!

[@MidBuzzzin]

Teach me how to cuttie 🎶

[@rune9864]

Is this kinda like the Scandinavian flick?

[@Dearlp640]

I feel for those link bearings..

[@SuperBoris1976]

works better when you jab the front brake on😂😂

[@emirumpf9947]

Love the bike design kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.

[@thecount1001]

must be hell on those $100 high end trail tires!!

[@reboundrides8132]

I’m sure these guys who are sponsored don’t care

[@sgorratoad]

Looks like some people don't pay for their tyres :p

[@MrOndrof]

Cuttie = drifting :-D

[@MegaScooter500]

2

[@Муар-ч3ч]

have you used brakes while doing that?

[@sam_d4032]

I broke my elbow trying this 2 weeks ago

[@hoangnamnguyen71]

I broke my arm doing that, because I slipped sideway!😭

[@kingsed91]

check out the new video!!! "how to do useless but !amazing! tricks on carpark"

[@pkundrat]

Since when is slashing berms useless?

[@ls1chevy2]

$50 a tire that's $100 I might have to learn this on wet grass

[@Leo_Inclan]

#Askgmbn why is scottie so stiff on camera lately? He seems uncomfortable lol

[@itellyouwhy6957]

You try and present GMBN with a hard-on and a guy you fancy is wiggling his butt around doing cuties. You'd look uncomfortable too. Kappa

[@PeoplesIncorporated]

Maybe Isis has captured him #marinajoyce

[@Leo_Inclan]

+Smug caucasoid hahahahaha good point!

[@jdwalker9718]

Parking Lot 1 in Whistle eh. High rollers...

[@weet0]

Yeoww!!

[@KennyMinigun]

Man, I can feel these tires screaming.

[@henryplaidjacket7860]

rip ears 1:39

[@gripatambunan1461]

can a hardtail do this technique...?

[@riammey]

gripa tambunan yeah but its harder

[@gripatambunan1461]

Riam Mey yeah already try it and got tripped 5 times but it,s fun "no pain no gain" afterall

[@chriscrux4556]

gripa tambunan how's the progress so far mate?

[@wantahertzdonut]

This is what we did on coaster brake bikes when we were kids. Just sayin..:)

[@connorflannigan3854]

3rd

[@Kev_L]

warning don't try with walmart bike it will bend easily

[@piotrlobacz]

This is pomping flat ground by Phil Kmetz.

[@pkundrat]

Almost - notice how Bryn is much more dialed - he leans with the body much less, drops his inner shoulder and works with his elbows much more vertically and also his upper torso is much more horizontal. But also an excellent video.

[@m00nchildblues]

Good video if you want to ruin your 80$ maxxis tires! Arrgh! Do it in the dirt or grass to save wear on tires!

[@damsonpirate]

Can I hear Bryn's bottom bracket ?

[@gamefreakisascam7639]

best i can do is 25

[@kevindudd3225]

Just make sure you don't blow your tyre off your rim eh Bryn?

[@jeremyj1414]

Can't be good for the tyres

[@nummer3sweden]

”you wanna avoid the cars...”. Two cars drive past

[@CurvedSlightly]

Great way to fuck your tyres, TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

[@schuletrip]

Mam, not Mum.. Scott is right

[@sambaldwin]

this seems like a rear tyre destroyer

[@stoenchu122]

first?

[@Niks_531]

My story. The whole class was going to sports . And when i was lisenting, girl in front of me said "(thats a cutties boy ")and looked at me,when i got home. I googled what does it mean. When i r eliezed what it means. WHAT THE F**K

[@owatson67]

How to ruin your tires

[@pssoa1112]

ur price is way too high u need to cuttie

[@lukecliffe7096]

So your pretty much fish tailen? That's a lot easier to do had I known that's what your doing

[@reboundrides8132]

They aren’t tho fishtailing requires brakes and isn’t as cool looking

[@v1d300]

Instructions incomplete, I licked the tar on the first left tilt.

[@lamedead9601]

Bet they can't do a cuttie with one foot on the pedal as they are stopping smhsmh

[@caste1200]

lol you can see how shit scott bikes are, look how the rear moves by doing something so simple as cutties hahaa

[@camerongribble6760]

how destroy your tries 101!!!

[@kodiward7730]

Poor wheels

[@NDRXXX]

Sorry, what is "G" to add in the apex?
