Trek Roscoe 9 Toughest Challenge So Far?

[@MrJeffrop]

Your attitude alone makes your videos fun to watch. Reminds me of why we do what we do. 🤙

[@davidleemann7395]

You can hear that it's windy but that little cover did a solid job. Roscoe killed that climb! Really stepping up the production game with all the new angles, tripod setup etc. Good stuff

[@DavidFDay]

I like that you put the effort into taking the camera a head then going back and riding up towards the camera to give a real view of you riding. Great camera work.

[@SamNuckels]

Heck yeah this was awesome! I live in Golden and ride North Table all the time. The climb you did is excellent and I have yet to clean that rock garden, so it’s sick to see you crush it. The Mesa Top/Waterfall descent you took is not my first choice, it’s just so steep and chunky esp on a Hardtail. If you find yourself back at N Table I’d recommend to turn right instead of left after Rim Rock and climb Mesa Top to Tilting Mesa and then the south leg of North Table Loop back around to where you climbed and take that the rest of the way down to Lithic and back to the parking lot. Much nicer descent and beautiful views of Golden and the foothills.

Love a good cardio workout!

[@S_Mendez_28]

Great footage. That trail looks absolutely amazing and the view is picturesque. #letsgo 🤝👊✌

[@davidwangeman11]

Getting good at the production of your videos. I like the camera angles and background music. That roscoe is a monster.

[@MC-ey8kw]

Picked up my roscoe 9 today, you helped convince me! Upgraded from a dual sport 3 and wow, it’s on a whole other level. The brakes are so powerful, the shifting is buttery smooth and no latency in comparison. The ride, it’s like I’m on clouds lol!!

[@TryRebooting]

Nice riding! Love the multiple angles on the climb, really shows how steep that is. I think Rim Rock has been closed a few times but it is super fun when it's open!

[@thomasbudi2000]

That downhill ride sounds as if you are on a jet. Very smooth ride, nice ride overall. Just proof how capable the duo (bike and rider). God bless brother, keep it up 👍🙏

[@taylor8109]

I’m 205 lbs ride tubeless 30mm ID rims on 27.5x2.6 tires… tire pressure 22 psi F 20 psi R. You can run much lower pressures on your roscoe and reap benefits. My hardtail I run I have 38 ID rims with 2.8 front and 2.6 rear and run 16 psi in both without squirm and rim strikes

[@taylor8109]

Experiment and see what you like but def recommend lower than what you’re running. I know it’s hard to fathom after you’ve been riding tubes so long

[@19brian55]

Digging your vids, props from Australia👍

[@tomstone2322]

Sounds good great ride beautiful scenery

[@marcstolk6682]

Good video man, nice production and multi camera shots.. that takes alot of work. Well done. Who needs full squish these days... a good HT can do most things - simplicity is king

[@rottieshepcalibre9156]

i love your honesty. even tho you have bags of skills you werent affraid to admit defeat. i really like your R9 bike but i am a bikepacker (mostly) so it might not be for me. i am on the hunt for a new bike but i still have one eye on the Roscoe

[@ibmixin]

Just recently got into mountain biking, been loving you vids. Hopefully I run into you on a trail one of these days I’m not far from golden.

[@MattyActive]

Nice! Welcome to the mountain biking world. Thanks for watching the videos

[@mattj6676]

I'm with you on that jump, I have no doubt you'd have cleared it but really it was the landing that was sketchy. Slanted downhill with rocks and loose sand, not great. The folks who jump that safely will do more of a bunny hop to clear the whole thing, they don't use a lot of speed to do that. You can always let some of that air out of the tires when you get to the top of the climb for a nice ride down. You can't do that where I am, most trails are up and down the whole time.

[@hpph1744]

Beautiful trail. The image quality is really good.

[@MTBr-of-SoCal]

wow wow! The scenic views are just breathtaking around @3:00

[@parkinkevin]

30 psi is a lot for the front

[@ertai222]

I'm sure it's fine.

[@mrvwbug4423]

Great job on the rock gardens, that tech climb is a pain to clear. nearly 30psi is actually a lot for the front on a tubeless bike. I'm 250lbs and run 24 front/27 rear most of the time. I'd definitely run 30 in the back on a hardtail though.

[@marcstolk6682]

yeh i was raising an eyebrow on the 30psi up front. I run 25\27 upfront and 30 in the rear (29x2.4) - I'm approximately 90kg\200lbs.

[@josealbertova]

Hey brotha! Been watching your videos for a long time already, great progress and upgrades you’ve done! Hopefully someday we get to ride. Greetings from Dallas TX 🚵‍♂️💯

[@pratyushpancholi2837]

Awesome trail👏 great work 👍

[@darrenjohn3382]

I've only had a £340 carerra vengance, and I like it, roscoe9 is my next step up

[@Biking_with_Akiva]

Great job making it up that rock climb 💪🏾 what made you decide to put 30psi front and rear ? You and that Roscoe 9 getting along just fine 🤙🏾💯 Looking forward to the next one

[@시장의자정작용]

I liked this video so much I watched it 10 times

[@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5]

Nice trails!

[@BlueFlyer83]

Oh man, you're in my playground, NICE!

[@StarChild.no1]

B you need a drone for these types of trails where there’s no trees to obstruct it.. That way you won’t have to be taking those extra walks to set up your shots.. Plus all the other dope footage that will be available to you..

[@kir24yt23]

yeah let's go

[@dannynoor9665]

I love your videos

[@guyver626]

Come on Matty! You are supposed to wheelie into the trails!! Your own words. Don’t let us down. I expect to see you wheeling into the trails in the next video! Lol.

[@MattyActive]

Haha I was just thinking that today! Be on the lookout for tomorrow’s visit 😉

[@robgoffroad]

Good call on the jump... wasn't worth the potential wreck. That climb... I figured you could do it; you're pretty buff and a lot younger than me, so I knew you'd make it. I MIGHT be able to make it up that on my ebike, but that'd be about it.

[@juanhuttoe4517]

love it.

[@jamesmanning8795]

Let’s go!!!!

[@caseyjones3380]

Can you pls ride at horsetooth in Fort Collins I love your videos

[@jacklee9699]

Sick 😎

[@s3aitken]

how well does your bike fit into the focus? been lookin for a small hatchback and those things look slick

[@MattyActive]

It fits pretty easily as long as you take the front wheel off

[@LifewithDimeji]

You finally got a winma?

[@reggiefuentes4599]

I bet you can go lower on your tire pressures. 26/27 rear and 24/25 front. Maybe a bit lower?

[@MattyActive]

Yea I usually ride lower but sometimes I’ll go higher when the trail is mostly climbing

[@Sep45]

Nice video! Do you get bounced off those pedals much? I’m wondering if I should ride clipped in or go flat with my new Roscoe when I get it.

[@MattyActive]

I don’t really honestly. Just make sure you have good pedals and shoes

[@AnaPaula-wp1pl]

Hello, do you think the marlin 6 could handle all that? Thank you ❤

[@vijayanchomatil8413]

30psi, isn't that a bit too much for 2.5-2.6 tires?

[@MattyActive]

Yea I had a lot of climbing so I run higher to climb a little better

[@ericcontreras8863]

Dude 30 psi is a lot. Try putting in less next time. I run 24 rear and 22 front and that’s on a skinnier 2.3 29er tire. I believe you have 2.6s. Try it next time.

[@MrKpc3]

What’s your favorite trail on the front range so far?

[@MattyActive]

I would probably have to say three sisters at the moment

[@waldowsxxghostxx8577]

What forks you have equipped?

[@MattyActive]

Fox 36 rhythm

[@walterjuarez]

How do you like the wide bars?

[@MattyActive]

I like them a lot. I prefer wider bars for more stability

[@kennyflynn186657]

Would getting a rosco be a good starting true mountain bike hard tail?

[@MattyActive]

For sure! Especially now that they changed the geometry And now they are 29” wheels

[@kennyflynn186657]

I love the videos and information. I appreciate the reply back. I had a question about the rosco 8. Would that be a great bike to progress further in mountain biking compared to other bikes around that price range

[@시장의자정작용]

How do you clean or maintain after mountain driving?

[@MattyActive]

I use muc off bike cleaner

[@시장의자정작용]

How often do brake pads need to be replaced?

[@MattyActive]

Depends how much you ride but I usually do about once a year

[@flashfive23]

Why so much PSI?

[@MattyActive]

I like to run a little higher psi when there’s a lot of climbing

[@flashfive23]

@@MattyActive ooh

[@thesilversender]

@@MattyActive you will get better traction with lower PSI. The tires will conform to the terrain more and help you up the hill. Especially on that chunky trail. Also, you should try some tire inserts. I prefer Rimpact but Cushcore are good too. Cushcore are quite a bit heavier though.

[@flrn6233]

I was about to say the same thing. I use fast rolling tires, and with that pressure I have no grip at all. 30 PSI is more for street and the front suspension is kind of deceiving about the grip. With a rigid fork you can realize right away when you start losing grip, but with a suspension, ups... it's more complicated, you need to lock the fork to experiment the grip better. He needs to try puting some flags on straight line and try to go fast right left passing through those flags... he's gonna realize right away when he lose grip at different tire pressure.

[@kwaktak]

Yes, you want the tire to be able to deform rather that act as a bumper so you don’t go down those rock gardens like a pinball. They trick is not to go too low and risk denting your rims.

[@tomaswarner131]

I think that where you ride you really should invest in some knee pads.

[@LifewithDimeji]

You finally got a winma?
