dmurchison (Feb 27, 2012 at 0:46)

I think that when he grabs his bike after the crafting was meant to represent the joy of riding after work. Smile

Nickroy (Feb 27, 2012 at 2:18)

The wood at start mean that the trails and ramps made by him . . i think

MiloXC3 (Feb 27, 2012 at 5:31)

Hands on dh bike...yes, come on!...hands on xc bike...oh, ok then.

chyu (Feb 27, 2012 at 5:34)

How did I know while watching the video that when I looked at the comments the first one would be about a bro crying he didn't take the dh rig?

climbingbubba (Feb 27, 2012 at 7:27)

Because that's what every single person who watches this is thinking

tankzaclover (Feb 27, 2012 at 8:41)

ha ha very funny. i did mean wood lol

XCRider1 (Feb 27, 2012 at 9:26)

Damn why not pick up the damn dh and is he making a wooden bike?

taletotell (Feb 27, 2012 at 10:28)

Maybe he is making a brace to hold tubes in place when he welds them.

angrynipples (Feb 27, 2012 at 11:35)

Never thought someone named xcrider would complain about him not taking the dh rig

Doule (Feb 27, 2012 at 12:15)

You missed the point of the vid xcrider...he built the bike...and then shreds it...and I would be happy to shred a trail even on a full rigid..

spankthewan (Feb 27, 2012 at 15:40)

You missed the point, Doule. He is not a frame builder.

mtbrider256 (Feb 27, 2012 at 16:43)

if you read the description, it says hes a craftsman, so thats why he was cutting the wood.

faaz (Feb 29, 2012 at 12:24)

You would have loved it a lot more despite the fact that a DH bike would have been totally innapropriate for the style of riding being done?

Doule (Feb 29, 2012 at 18:24)

Oops missread that..thought he made the frame..still cool that hes a crafstman,and appreciates a nice handmade frame.

tankzaclover (Mar 2, 2012 at 12:48)

Dh is the f1 of biking Xc is just .........................

stompeinator (Mar 2, 2012 at 18:45)

how about xc is gt? don't hate

Jacko6793 (Mar 16, 2012 at 14:05)

i would say track cycling is F1 (finely tuned machines that carry out one task perfectly with minimum weight)

taletotell (Mar 16, 2012 at 18:37)

I like to think of DH as rally. Has to be fast, perfectly tuned, and is crazy. Plus it is way exciting and the fans have to stand in the woods.

tankzaclover (Mar 17, 2012 at 1:40)

Not in to seeing men in lycra. In dh you still go as fast as you can, same as in track racing but you do not have to dress like a giant condom. lol

cxt3000 (Feb 27, 2012 at 13:54)

I would recommend everyone to try and ride technical trail on a hardtail. Maybe they would get to apreciate the effort and skill that goes into riding like that and they would become better riders when riding their dh bikes. With that i mean using more of the "human suspension" and not mostly or entirely the shocks. I would leave the seat height option to personal preferences though Smile

I can't ride that kind of trail with my seat way up or on a bigger hardtail than 19". This dude has some serious skill.

Ravi-Mander (Mar 16, 2012 at 17:15)

i did that ... rode trials on my hardtail and now im soo much faster on my dh rig Smile

derekdix (Feb 17, 2012 at 18:37)

Just for the record--- not all the bikes are his. There's 3 other riders living in that house.

A lot of people are kinda missing the point here...

If the context seems confusing, go to their Ultramontane articles to see what they're about. Full write-up with dozens of banger images and 2 vids per bi-weekly episode! If your a passionate rider, I think you'll understand.

Lmackall6 (Feb 27, 2012 at 18:50)

nice. maybe I'm just old, but I do love seeing someone rocking a hardtail in the winter. A real rider can ride anything. Although personally, I would have lowered my seat.

Its-That-Guy (Feb 28, 2012 at 2:28)

You don't really know much at all do you

MtTaylor (Feb 28, 2012 at 21:29)

I know that weet-bix is an Australian cereal that the New Zealanders decided they wanted. And that New Zealand is like a small crap version of Australia

Its-That-Guy (Feb 29, 2012 at 1:13)

All i need to know is that your small minded and quite rude compared to all the cool aussies i know.

MtTaylor (Mar 1, 2012 at 1:27)

Growing up in the ACT very sporty focused a fair bit on sport you learn to hate the kiwis and poms

Its-That-Guy (Mar 1, 2012 at 3:15)

I'm to chill to hate on some one because of where they come from. But continue on if you must.

hodzy17 (Feb 27, 2012 at 15:35)

he has all nice bikes and he pickes the shittyest one to go riding what a idiot that bike was worth like 600 bucks

mammal (Feb 27, 2012 at 17:05)

That is a hand made, custom steel HT frame with a great build... every steel tube has been hand filed and welded by the guy who designed most of the Cove Bikes line. The paint job is by Paint House Customs.

The fact that this bike is not worth $5000 doesn't make the bike shitty. I am amazed by the skewed perspective of people who don't know what a quality MTB is. Who's the idiot??
