I've put up my downhill bike for sale with the intent of getting a more versatile enduro bike. After watching this, I'm starting to have second thoughts...

There are only two bikes you need in the garage. A DH bike and an Enduro bike.

@nhp890, you could always look at getting a 180mm travel bike like the scott voltage, ns soda etc, I,ve got a 180mm yt noton pro2 and love it, it's great downhill and ok at riding back up

nhp890 (May 27, 2015 at 23:55)

There's something about this type of bike I don't like. I can't put my finger on what it is exactly. I was looking at getting a Commencal Meta SX 650b in a mildly dh-oriented spec (chainguide, dh tyres)

The perfect ammount of bikes is n+1 indeed, where 'n' is the current ammount of bikes you own.

Mattin (May 28, 2015 at 3:12)

@Rabbuit: Wish it was that easy. I also need a (single speed) xc bike, a track bike for the streets, a track bike for in the velodrome, a dirt jump bike, a street bike, and a commuter. And a freeride bike with +-120 front and rear suspension would also be nice for the freeride tracks in bikeparks.

TomHoultTFG (May 28, 2015 at 4:35)

@mark3 I have the same bike and I have to agree its the perfect middleground. I race dh on mine but I can keep up with my enduro friends too with just a couple of mods e.g 34t nw chainring and a rockshox reverb.

@nhp890 You do not need a bike DH to make the descent of the video.

Good luck @yxbix! I recommend already making up the couch

@yxbix There is another formula you may wish to consider... n-1, 'n' being the amount of bikes your girlfriend/wife will leave you at!

nhp890 (May 28, 2015 at 5:43)

@torero agreed, but I would definitely have more fun on a full blown dh bike in this case.

Mattin (May 28, 2015 at 6:02)

Technically you could ride it on a cyclocross bike if you really wanted to and have the skills for it. But it would be terrible, super slow, sketchy, and not fun at all.

@nhp890 check out the banshee darkside. Get a 2.5" stroke shock, single crown and flip the dropouts for enduro. Then a dh fork, 2.75" stroke shock and slacken the geometry back out and bam! Two bikes. I'm still waiting on my single crown fork for trying this idea out. As a dh bike it's kicking ass though.

@Mattin as a lady myself I fully believe in n+1, so do most of us that ride bikes. Women in general are not dangerous. but if you have a bad moment and end up dating a girl that doesn't ride bikes you could find yourself in trouble and having substantially less fun.

needanewbikealways (May 27, 2015 at 23:38)

I dont think this track got the 'ripping' the title claims. If anything Danny was just having a gentle coast down to the bottom. Love to see him hit this in full race mode!!

ka-brap (May 28, 2015 at 0:20)

FYI, Danny did not ride the hardest lines on the track- he avoided going into 2 gnarly wooded sections that normally are in the tapped race course.

This goes on the favorites list for study. So fluid and smooth. Makes it looks so easy! I want to ride like this in my mind when I ride! Knee position, bike position, wow. Impossible grace on the berms. That jump! Must have been a few hundred meters!

Would have been nice to see Danny slay the wooded-gnar sections at the 2:19 and 2:39 marks. But it is mega greasy right now and now point risking an injury before Fort Bill. Give 'em hell, Danny!!

It was Innes Graham in front i believe, Danny was filming. There's videos from a few days ago where Innes was hitting the big gap after the fire road where, in this case, Danny rolled.

Wow, this wasn't even cool. I don't know what you guys are talking about!! For starters I could barely tell what was going on do to the crappy video quality. Second this literally looks like every go-pro video I've ever seen. They are not even going fast either. Like why do all these B level riders get crappy go-pro footage put up on here? It simply doesn't make sense.
