 Absolutely one of the best bike films I've seen this year. This will take some beating. Riders that make it look easy, gorgeous music and moody scenery. Wonderful. If I was asked if I could ride my bike like anyone on earth, it would likely be like these guys right here, understated and just letting the riding doing the talking. Well done to the team behind this.

 IMHO i got a weird feeling of un-satisfaction after about 1 minute of it as the riding was too fast paced to go with the slow piano... it just deserved some good old shred it music to go with it!
  • 34 4
 The ENDURO looks epic

 Perfect blend of natural sound and music. Really a mesmerizing video.
  • 6 0
 Agreed. I like that the music is soft enough to hear the tires. Adds to the calming nature of this video.

 Anyone know what the song is?
  • 37 0
 it's a timeless classic. "She Got a Big Booty so I Call her Big Booty" - 2 Chainz

 The audio mix was spot on. Freehub, tires, birds, music, that's what I hear in my head when I ride. . . rarely. . . WOW.
  • 1 0
 The song is "Hometown Hero" by Paperchaser
  • 21 2
 Props to Curtis for doing such a unusual and unorthodox setup. I'm interested to see how it shreds. All hail the next In the Know!
  • 19 0
 Nobody wondering about the Enduro/Boxxer setup?
  • 5 0
 Yeah, whats the deal with that?
  • 19 0
 Specialized has the Enduro Expert Evo, which comes with a Boxxer Team and Ohlins coil. For those park rats
  • 4 0
 Thats pretty bad ass. First time i have seen that!
  • 10 0
 CycloGoss is correct the EVO can come with Boxxers. I'm pretty sure EVO has 180mm rear travel and the Boxxers are lowered to 180mm. I'm thinking about this instead of my Demo!
  • 6 0
 thats true, but you can only oder the evo in the following setup, and I've never seen a rockshox in the evo, only the Öhlins suspension or Custom FOX VAN R like here www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/enduro/enduro-evo-650b or here www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/enduro/enduro-expert-evo-650b. I would also love to see what kind of exact setup this is. Anybody can share this info?
  • 4 0
 Looks pretty sick actually!
  • 2 0
 I've been riding a Boxxer Race with my Enduro for years Smile
  • 2 0
 yoobee have you lowered your boxxers to 180mm?
  • 1 1
 Any air fork can be lowered pretty easily with some plastic spacers. A coil spring takes spacers plus you have to cut the spring. I used to run a boxer ride Uturn on my cove spot. It was pretty much the balls, until the head tube cracked...
  • 1 0
 romERROR, it looks like theyre running the Boxxer World Cup or Boxxer Team in front, with a Rockshox Monarch Plus RC3 in back
  • 1 0
 This will only make the Status to have same place like the Enduro SX.
  • 1 0
 the geometry for 2015 was changed for the evo, and the 2015 has a coil spring fork (boxer Team) but lowered to 180 so I guess they ride a custom setup.
  • 1 1
 @tbgd - I tried the U-Turn (165mm) for a while, but 200mm runs better, esp. if you like downhill more than uphill Smile And as the Race can be locked by full compression uphill works quite good.
  • 18 1
 Holy crap, that bike, the helmets, the riders, its just too much. I can't take so much awesomeness!!!

 ENDURO BIKE WITH DUAL CROWN FORK ,,, THIS BIKE LOOKS SO RAD !!

 It's the Enduro Evo, Troy Brosnan used one for some of the races last year. It shreds like no other.
  • 1 0
 The frame has so much potential
  • 1 1
 so this is Specialized answer to the Trek Session 9.8 Park
  • 1 1
 They started making it back in 2011 but they also had the Status with the same amount of travel but I think the Status was more of a park bike for them. This is the first year that they put a dual crown on it.
  • 2 0
 The Status has 200mm of travel. Only by changing shock stroke can you get it down to 185mm. Yeah I was aware of the Status being their entry level DH/Park bike. The Enduro Evo 650b however has better spec.
  • 1 0
 Yeah, their status 1 from 2013 had 170 up front but you're right with the evo being better specd.
  • 13 1
 Warning! Don't watch this on your desk! You're going sad and mad if you can't jump on your bike immediately.

 I don't think anyone captures the pacific northwest spirit like the Coastal Crew. They are MTB royalty!
  • 3 0
 As someone who lives in the PNW I agree. I just did a backpack trip through the north cascades this weekend and all I could think about while hiking through the forest was how it looked like coastal crew edits.
  • 4 1
 Poetic justice in every sense of the equation. As mountain bikers and fans of mountain biking, we've just witnessed something truly unique. Edits come and go but this is something else. Mindspark Cinema and The Coastal Crew has to be one of these most powerful film and ride combinations to date. Power!

 Poetic justice in what sense?

 Hallulejuh... Praise the lord! (of music). In the world of dime-a-dozen edits with adrenaline-fueled crap music choices - this is just excellent. More, please.

 Unfortunately I had a nasty fall out of my truck bed and broke the radial head in my elbow. Spent the past week in the hospital. I got home yesterday after reconstructive surgery and Ti radial head replacement. This was first on the feed, I watched and I cried. Overwhelmingly inspirational tears to kill this physio and get back on my bike. Thanks boys, this is the type of motivation I needed, not LaBoeuf yelling at me to do it.

 Is there any difference between the Specialized Enduro which sells now and the one in this movie ?
  • 1 0
 Only the custom suspension. www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/enduro/enduro-expert-evo-650b#specs
  • 1 0
 The 180mm boxxer is modified or custom-tailored ?
  • 1 0
 The one you can buy is modified I doubt that the internals are different from the 200mm fork you can buy. The only DH fork which you can reduce to 180mm from 200mm is the Dorado nowadays. The suspension they are riding in the video looks like blackbox stuff.
  • 1 0
 I can use tokens to change travel
  • 1 0
 Tokens are used to make the fork more progressive. The standard stuff that comes with the fork doesn't allow travel change but I'm sure you could do it DIY style.
  • 1 0
 I am gonna to buy a new 180mm freeride fork instead.....
  • 1 0
 Monarchs in the evo? Wonder if they are custom length to match the frame specs

 Finally the new Enduro Evo in action, great! If they prefer it now over of the (Race)-Demo?
  • 1 3
 Costal crew only rides 26" wheels... So they wont ride the new Demo.
  • 2 0
 Enduros only come in 650b and 29 (they def arent running 29), so your logic might be flawed
  • 1 0
 @MSVF Might be a custom setup not the 2015 evo, another suspension, another color, another drivetrain etc. etc.

  • 1 0
 there are, check out the Giant Reign (I personally ride this bike the Reign Advanced 2 it's like a mini dh bike), Devinci Spartan, Santa Cruz Nomad, Trek Slash, the list goes on really. These days anything with a 160mm of travel can pretty much do anything and everything. Remember the Santa Cruz bullet? only 6" of travel of every free riders dream.
