bikerm (May 16, 2011 at 19:05)

but the east coast doesn't have whistler. or sunshine coast. or the shore. or squampton. or anything other than highland. Go Knolly! Hopkins deserves a B.C. bike.

Colin994 (May 16, 2011 at 19:44)

KAYTHANKS. never said it was worse just a little less good without highland

Colin994 (May 16, 2011 at 20:07)

*just would be better with highland. just realized how derp that sentence sounded

mtnbyker (May 16, 2011 at 20:49)

Notice everything bikerm mentioned is in BC, so screw the entire West Coast, just come for BC.

tomy177 (May 16, 2011 at 22:37)

yeah thats what i gotta love about living in saskatchewan.. i never have to deal with the headache of picking which awsome place to ride

faultlinetv FL (May 17, 2011 at 0:09)

Ya Mike! Congrats on the new bike. -ep

nobodyhasthisname (May 17, 2011 at 13:58)

mtb1stdegree (May 17, 2011 at 19:59)

the eastcoast does have sainte-anne, and bromont

foghorn1 (May 17, 2011 at 21:48)

And Calabogie was great till the f***tards closed it.

mtb1stdegree (May 18, 2011 at 4:51)

Craig-D36 (Aug 3, 2012 at 3:39)

Colin994 (Aug 3, 2012 at 12:31)

god i love going back to an old post just to see youve been neg propped to shit. keep em coming pb whores

BrotherDarkness (Aug 3, 2012 at 12:47)

you deserved it chief. idk how you're gonna compare the amount of riding on the east coast (which is essentially just Highland and Diablo) to the cluster f*ck of riding spots you find in BC alone. just saying

If I lifted my bike over my head like he did, I would have one bike over my head.

RavineRiders (May 18, 2011 at 8:41)

but only if mike hopkins it riding it

KonaTrevor (May 16, 2011 at 19:16)

The west coast is the sh#t because people get off their duff and dig. There is a rider/builder movement here that pushes the envelope of progression of rider, trail and bike.

mzk1997 (May 16, 2011 at 17:54)

This video will be at the podium soon enough.

kiker20 (May 16, 2011 at 18:25)

knolly bikes are badass

Freeriderf4rlife (May 16, 2011 at 18:27)

i want one

ShastaOutdoorMedia (May 16, 2011 at 18:29)

I like that: "I have been on the podium for the past couple months"

Damn, he must have won a lot of races

Also, he likes the platform that the podium is on. Pretty punny!

falvey221 (May 16, 2011 at 18:44)

lovin it

potthead (May 16, 2011 at 18:45)

ShastaOutdoorMedia (May 16, 2011 at 19:53)

I think vodium is some sort of diarrhea medicine...

Bjammin (May 16, 2011 at 19:54)

i was starting to think not by the time i finished my sentence. haha.

kyphoto (May 16, 2011 at 21:22)

I think that's Vodium AD.

captain-sandbag (May 16, 2011 at 19:09)

Stoked to see ya riding for a Canadian company Mike. Can't wait to see what you get up to this season.

NorCalikonaryder (May 16, 2011 at 18:34)

Where do you get those saint rims!!!!!!

13 1

kootenaybikes (May 16, 2011 at 18:49)

By peeling off the DT stickers and putting Saint ones on.

merf (May 17, 2011 at 13:27)

ive ridden one of those knolly delerium's, they are one of the best bikes ive ever been on without a doubt, so smooth and easy to move around for quite a large feeling bike

togood2die (May 16, 2011 at 19:23)

Damn, we're gonna regret this one... LOL Scott is gonna miss him for sure!

darkmuncan (May 16, 2011 at 19:34)

umm... why isn't he wearing any shoes?

Trying to promote his new Black Sock sponsor?

brule (May 17, 2011 at 10:00)

Probably because he's in someone's house or office and doesn't want to be rude?

Stewartlowe (May 17, 2011 at 12:06)

I would rather someone wore shoes in my house than brought their bike in.

mozarle (May 17, 2011 at 12:06)

Maybe you have some point. But i fail to see how a pair of shoes is more dirty than a pair of mtb tires.

yannickbisson (May 17, 2011 at 16:09)

Or making a point to a shoe sponsor that is slow to sign

Xfighter (May 17, 2011 at 2:52)

why doesnt he use tha marzocchi 888 rc3 evi TI instead of the 888 rc3 evo?
did he change the coil indise to a ti? or is it still steel?

calebholonko (May 16, 2011 at 18:34)

this is new.

damonberrymanphoto (May 16, 2011 at 20:17)

mach chicken blazin! and i knew this a month ago, i saw him on the coast with that knolly.

Downhill340 (May 17, 2011 at 0:22)

Anybody think it felt like a commercial?

brodieman96 (May 17, 2011 at 5:00)

na man if he had a bright paint job on the bike i would love it but even so its still such a nice bike

nouser (May 16, 2011 at 18:25)

what a beast!!!

IamFreedom (May 16, 2011 at 18:36)

Great -.- i just cleaned my pants now its back in the laundry!

RinkyDinkyStinky (May 16, 2011 at 20:14)

Hell yeah Mike!! You are the shit!

antmav (May 17, 2011 at 8:56)

Guess he's still searching for a glove sponsor.

matty1001 (May 18, 2011 at 19:54)

i liked him better on the scott

gnarbar (May 16, 2011 at 19:24)

an awesome rider with great style, good luck for 2011, Mike

baker94 (May 16, 2011 at 19:55)

i want to no when saint is going to make there rims public!!!

mvonhollen (May 16, 2011 at 20:06)

There's nothing special about them..

mvonhollen (May 16, 2011 at 20:07)

I hope that Scott is still sponsoring his rad skiing abilities..

ryann FL (May 16, 2011 at 20:31)

Nice one Mike! Balls out...

cedarlicker (May 16, 2011 at 21:08)

Best of luck to Mike Hopkins, and Knolly, a winning combo for sure.

muchentuchen (May 17, 2011 at 5:06)

Hopkins is just so damn smooth on a bike.

bluezac17 (May 17, 2011 at 10:12)

that rear shock looks HUGE

drop20 (May 17, 2011 at 16:05)

i like that bike looks amazing! i wish i had one

olsportsmen (May 17, 2011 at 7:17)

Knolly is based in BC?

raiderka2505 (May 17, 2011 at 11:54)

what's it that song

sushimami (May 16, 2011 at 20:41)

Mach Chicken, yah!

tntracing (May 17, 2011 at 21:13)

whats the song

northernstyle (May 16, 2011 at 18:41)

Hope that fork is stronger than the one he had at rampage :p

10 2

captain-sandbag (May 16, 2011 at 19:06)

Ummm, hate to break it to you but that fork may as well have been hit by a truck on the highway. Anything strong enough to take that would have to have the same size stanchions only filled with steel instead of internals. And even then I might bet against its chances.

ButtonPusher (May 16, 2011 at 19:39)

He wasn't the only cat at Rampage with broken sanctions...

rangemaster (May 16, 2011 at 21:28)

oops sorry gave you neg props. wanted to give positive. sorry... yea tinfoil is right a fork is still just a fork, and at events like rampage a fox is probably just as likely to break as a manitou or suntour. it's up to the rider to find a smooth landing to keep it intact.

3 22

nouser (May 16, 2011 at 19:35)

marazocchi destroys the sickness of the bike. gotta have fox.

R-P-S FL (May 17, 2011 at 4:44)

nope, sure doesn't.

ButtonPusher (May 19, 2011 at 21:11)

I've seen Marz take severe beatings and keep on going... if they're good enough for Geoff Gulevich and Kurt Sorge, i'm pretty sure they'd be stable enough for you... besides it's not like he's riding Drop-Off's...
