Wow! An other original song! Facepalm

There's millions of songs out there, yet it seems to be the same 2-3 songs on every video!

Well done for the vid George. It's a great tune that works, that's why it gets used! Would you guys like it if photos or a vid was put on of you, and all people talked of were ' hey, do ya think that dudes helmet looks a bit slack'? I know you're instantly opening yourself up to a society of bitchers & moaners when you post a vid or photo, but it would be better if we talked constructively of the riding and the quality of the vid rather than the frame size of the bike.

I think the bike is to small for him. But good edit and filming.

themountainbikeking Plus (Dec 21, 2011 at 10:40)

I agree. His bike looks far too small for him. Like the photos.

HOJJJ (Dec 21, 2011 at 10:42)

There is no such thing as a DH bike that is too small (within reason).. people dont realise what you can get away with, and dont realise the advantages of having a smaller frame, its like bar width, just a personal preference.

themountainbikeking Plus (Dec 21, 2011 at 10:48)

Sorry but I strongly dis-agree. A DH bike that fits is pretty vital. What are the advantages of having a frame that is too small for DH? Wouldn't say frame size is a personal preference, more a personal fit.

double2011kid (Dec 21, 2011 at 10:51)

Totally agree with you man, it like to ride little bikes (even though i'm small) and I still go faster than my bigger mates riding big fat glorys when I am riding my little stinky primo or my specialized status Big Grin

duncanp (Dec 21, 2011 at 10:51)

I think it could be the bars being so low he seems hunched over the front. but if it feels comfortable for him...

TheGravityProject-Magnus (Dec 21, 2011 at 10:53)

how can you say thats theres no such thing as a sdmall dh frame? i have recently changed frames because i realised it was too small after looking at photos and video footage, when you jump on a bike that fits you, you instantly feel kind of less bunched up. if that makes sense.

TheGravityProject-Magnus (Dec 21, 2011 at 11:19)

i aggree smaller frames are fun to ride because there nimble and well, small. but if you want to go fast then get a bike that fits.

spudreau (Dec 21, 2011 at 11:49)

I didn't really pay attention to the frame size, but more the activity of the rear suspension. I would hazard a guess he likes his suspension settings to be rather stiff with fast rebound. The rear sus didn't look as compliant as it could be, often spiking corners/lips. Always a trade off with pedaling/track of course, but it looked like he was working harder then maybe he needed to at times.

SJ-tinsley (Dec 21, 2011 at 12:04)

You guys arnt the one riding the bike, so quit criticising how his bike is too small for him. Unless your the rider, you don't know jack shit.

HOJJJ (Dec 21, 2011 at 14:52)

Im 6ft 1" - ride on a small DH frame and have never felt bunched up or less capable because of it.

Im not criticising anyone SJ-tinsley so dont criticise me.

Thefuzz666 (Dec 21, 2011 at 15:07)

Yeah i think as long as a bikes not to small within reason its fine.. a frame thats slightly to small is much more fun to chuck around but far less stable... all down to your riding style really.. i prefer a medium frame because of the better stability it offers.... like anoth person said earlier, all down to preferance.

Crza (Dec 21, 2011 at 16:36)

Wheelbase, reach or effective top tube length are the important numbers in fitting.

SJ-tinsley (Dec 22, 2011 at 10:01)

HOJJJ- i wasn't criticizing you, your comment was fine, you wern't moaning about how he shouldn't be riding a bigger frame, it was aimed at other people saying negative things about small frames and big riders.

HOJJJ (Dec 22, 2011 at 12:06)

Okay im going to prop you because most people would have gone off on one then.
