1st ride on the new bike.......
SamJam that was a great ride!
super cool video, your riding like a pro mate!
I loved the climb into the DH very nice!
you have a super awesome trial right outside your house you lucky joey!
It looks like you have a great climber that can take the rocky DH too, very smooth mate!
RideOn and keep this one close to you.
I think you go through too many bikes , ahahhaahahhahah

Yes mate i do go through way too many bikes.Most of the time though i get offered so much money for them i cant knock them back.
It took me so long to get to the top.I forgot to put my seat right up too.
I have a few things to work out like the forks and tire preasures so i can start riding her faster.
I kind of liked the way I put so much effort in climbing as it is such a challenge to look up the top of the hill where you need to be and then you look down at your feet turning around,legs hurting and wondering if i am in the best gear or should i just stop.May be the most satisfied i have been on a bike for a while.
Heading down was bit strange.I always ride my bikes the 1st time with max air in suspension then play with it as i go.As i approached the wooden drop I looked down and noticed my chain had come off so i had to abort.I fixed it but lost the nerve to ride jumps until i knew 100% it was good to go.
all in all i loved the first ride and should be able to really hit top speed very soon.

RideOn Mick!
The first ride of a new bike is always like wow that was odd, oh no that was cool, wait that sucked rotten eggs and oh ya that was wicked!
Basically your off on everything.
Once I started using air suspension I was astonished that the some suspension shock or fork on a bike with different geometry and leverage ratio takes a completely different air pressure!
Once you have some time on her your preferred settings will come about!

you definetly need to ride because it's a new bike and it needs some hub spin and shock stroke to be done in all ways 
Very nice ride.....the vids are gettin' better and better. What's with all that sun? Put some in Greece in a few weeks? lol!
yeah its crazy here mate.28* during winter days is awesome.This was done at 8am sunday morning.gotta love sunny Queensland....thanks for comments brother Devil...means a lot.
Mate it was a hard ride.I tried to ride up the trail but it was hard going.I made it but my legs are so sore hahaha.On the way down I was bad because i have not been on a bike in 6 weeks and it was a slow ride down compared to other rides but it takes time to get used to a new bike and this bike is a dream.I did a DH line on it too and it handled it well but i need to get much fitter mate.
thanks for watching amigo

Thanks Manny.It is a well behaved bike thats for sure.I just need to set it up how i like it but that will happen after only a few rides and the fizik is horrible so the old faithful prologo is being put on this weekend.Glad you liked it mate.I really love this bike.
mate its a lovely bike.in the right hands it can do anything and is so strong.all the parts work great out of the box.I swapped out my bars,stem,dropper post and seat and tires .....i dont know what else to say than i love it.It goes up great and i can do DH lines on this so easy but it is a bit light.
Good luck mate with the purchase.If you have any questions just give me a email through the site and will gladly reply.
oh,they look bloody good too

mate that is fantastic,congrats on your new bike.Be sure to post a few pics up of your new baby.....really stoked on my Trance and i am sure you will too.
With a pilot who knows how to ride yes !
I am pretty much over all the big stuff now but a mate of mine has down a few DH lines on it and despite it being so lite and only 5 inch of travel does ok.
I use it for trail riding and sometimes do the DH lines but take the B lines.....Maybe a Reign is for you if you like jumps etc....

mate the ride was great but i lost my chain 3 times which was scary.apart from that it is amazing.
The shoes were great but i am not used to so much grip and i must of had half of the mountain in them at one stage.....
