Foolin' Around on Our Hardtails at Anderson Park • Lansing, Michigan • The Duke of MTB

[@dhosinski]

She gets GREAT AIR on her jumps. Thanks for sharing. A lot of fun was had. 😁

[@mtbboy1993]

nice vid. Fun features. great riding from both of you.

[@ReidMTB]

At 6:38, Cory mentions that the smaller one on the right would be harder. Ed says that it's just a rotten log. I don't know what condition it is in now, I haven't been there in years, but when I built it (Sep 2012), it was a fun/tricky little skinny, you had to have your right pedal up high at a specific point. I'm sure it's more rotted now than it was then.

[@dukeofmtb]

Yup. It's just a rotten log at this point. Would have been cool to try it in its prime though.

Thanks! We're gonna try doing more of these next season. Maybe we'll start doing bigger features and stuff to make it more exciting. We'll see. 😊

[@lplacido61]

You two seem to have the best time even on the easiest of trails. When a couple have a common love for adventure, that makes it more special. Be safe, be well!!

[@dukeofmtb]

Dim sum

[@BigVanLittleAdventures]

You guys diggin the hardtails?

[@dukeofmtb]

Yup. Great for local stuff and for Ray's. Plus, they have a pretty aggressive geo for hardtails. Great for getting a little rowdy. 😁

[@chriscopeland2608]

this trail is about 15min from my house so its kinda cool to see other people riding it

[@arnelious4501]

[@dukeofmtb]

Yup. North Park is great. 😁👍

[@cartercolligan7445]

Did y’all ride the Little Rock drop? It’s one of biggest rocks drops in the state.

[@dukeofmtb]

There's another drop at Anderson Park? We must have missed it. 😮

[@manabiker]

[@punisher9oneone]

"please clear it" haha... that was tow Craig in speed.. lol coming in hot!!

[@dukeofmtb]

🤣 Yup. Definitely a Cory move. 😂

[@stin3000]

Hardtail gang ! 🤟 What size tires , and what psi are you guys running on these Hardtails ? Much love from Mexico.

[@dukeofmtb]

I have 2.4" 29ers. 20psi in the front and 24psi in the rear, at just over 175lbs. Cory has 27.5" wheels. 2.6" at 17psi in the front, and 2.5" with 22psi in the rear.

[@stin3000]

@@dukeofmtb I just started riding in April. On my first bike , a Diamondback Sync'r aluminum, 27.5 x 2.8 plus tires. What psi would you recommend for my size tires ? I've had people tell me 15 and some 25.

[@dukeofmtb]

@@stin3000 Let me know your weight and I can give you a recommendation for that size of tire.

[@stin3000]

@@dukeofmtb I'm 5'6" and weigh about 162 lbs. I tried 15 psi and I did feel alot more grip but felt tougher to climb and when I did small jumps I really felt the landing.

[@dukeofmtb]

@@stin3000 About 15 to 16 psi on the front and about 18 to 20 in the rear should do the trick. The bigger the tires, the less psi you need for a certain level of support or grip. The rear needs more psi for pedal efficiency and because most of your weight is on the rear. The front needs less psi for improved grip, especially since the front steers. I hope this helps.

[@tylerthompson3148]

You need to do some more videos with your full suspension bicycles.

[@dukeofmtb]

No worries, we'll be back on our full squish bikes in the next vid. 😉👍

[@zacharysmith8076]

Nice

[@bermshark]

Go to go there I'm not far

[@dukeofmtb]

Pretty sweet spot to fool around on and work on some basic mtb skills. 😁👍

[@bermshark]

@@dukeofmtb Do you have any recommendations for trails in SW michigan? I've been to Merrell, Cannonsburg, luton, And Grand Rapids bike park

[@dukeofmtb]

@@bermshark We haven't spent enough time riding trails on the western side of Michigan, so we don't know much about the trails there. Have you tried 'The Underground' trail in Grand Rapids? It's a green on trailforks, but it has a ton of great features.

[@bermshark]

@@dukeofmtb I'll Check it out

[@dukeofmtb]

@@bermshark I think you'll like it. They have drops, jumps, and bermed corners. Pretty sweet for a green. Have fun. 👍

[@stever8595]

What kind of hardtail are those?

[@dukeofmtb]

I have a Commencal Meta HT, and she has a Commencal Meta Junior.
