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.
hands down, Curtis riding style is amazing, he handles the bike extremely smooth but at the same time it really looks powerful. always a pleasure to watch
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!
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!
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...
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.
@tbgd - I tried the U-Turn (165mm) for a while, but 200mm runs better, esp. if you like downhill more than uphill And as the Race can be locked by full compression uphill works quite good.
that was so sick. like art. showing this video to anyone that think downhillers are just wild gypsies that just huck off the nearest cliff far and wide.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Brilliant video music riding, the music leaves you with a sad melancholy,( probably cause you will never ride like that or ride trails like that, ha ha) .
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.
Well that was special, creative treatment / sound design / mix is absolutely spot on and riding incredible. I'll be revisiting this video a fair few times this month.
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.
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.
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.
The first bit in the clear cut is the beginning of Mach Chicken in Roberts Creek. The berms and jumps are in the CGP. Some of the other stuff is on the Sunshine Coast somewhere. Sick zone to ride for those boys.
Not gonna lie. I'm still coming back to watch this video. So refreshing to see an edit this original, in a world of hipster, slow mo, cooler-than-everyone-else, kind of videos.
