Bike handling master class. Makes a rear wheel wobble his bitch where 99% of us are OTB

Any body know what that wheel-set is? I felt
sorry for them.

@Dangerhill: EX 1501

DT Swiss:" Guys, please don't use too much slow-mo shots in the next Moir release, like one at the beginning and then full speed for the rest. Thanks."

His music choice, riding, and vibe always get me stoked on riding. well done, as usual.

Decent song, but it sounds like a poor man's 'Dick Diver'. Check 'em out (they are an Aussie band).

doublej-cville (Jun 7, 2021 at 10:02)

@Adamrideshisbike: I'll check them out for sure. I was more referring to the feel than the actual song though...reminded me of an early 2000s surf video, which is all I watched back then.

@doublej-cville: Right on, well, that's what I like about that band so much. It's got cruisy, sunny vibes.

Fun fact: that was actually Jack singing in the song that was playing.

Jesus H. Moir can he thrash a bike! That poor rear wheel at 1:37…

withdignityifnotalacrity (Jun 7, 2021 at 6:22)

Lol, he might actually need Super Boost

danncam FL (Jun 7, 2021 at 2:26)

Nice short ripper from tall ripper

bretttippie (Jun 7, 2021 at 23:27)

So fast, with one of the best pinned styles in the game! Jack is going to rip it again at the races soon!!

likeittacky (Jun 7, 2021 at 10:21)

Jack may have the best Scandi Flick in the business. That back wheel was getting worked around those hard pack turns!! The smile on his face around those kids was priceless!!

MrDrynan (Jun 7, 2021 at 3:44)

Looks like it's on fast forward. Madness...

watchtower (Jun 7, 2021 at 4:46)

I'll be cheerin' for ya Jack.

MartyMcfly2810 (Jun 7, 2021 at 10:07)

wonder what the angles/numbers are like with the super tall front end, i know the strive isnt a particularly slack bike to begin with (in terms of other modern bikes)

anybodyseengeorge (Jun 7, 2021 at 4:03)

I wish every bike I have bought came with a steerer tube that long!

cactus5 (Jun 7, 2021 at 4:34)

Love his riding style. Gigantor with ninja skills.

gravityfreak (Jun 7, 2021 at 3:12)

Awaba?

cyclesoul (Jun 7, 2021 at 5:35)

Ourimba I think

Brasher FL (Jun 8, 2021 at 0:05)

yep, awaba

mtb-journal (Jun 7, 2021 at 4:42)

how tall is his brother Bruce Moir? He looks much taller than Jack. I didn't know he raced.

Smoothy55 (Jun 7, 2021 at 5:41)

Long weekend here in OZ, I gotta head up to newie and check these trails out!

gmcgurk FL (Jun 7, 2021 at 7:05)

Rad edit Jack! Perfect ratio of talking to shredding and excellent song choice. We need more of this!

shmeef45 (Jun 7, 2021 at 21:05)

The "un-clip" to "clip" at 3:11, is blowing my mind.

BDBRIDER (Jun 8, 2021 at 1:45)

Good luck this season, I hope your still racing all the DH and not just EWS

colincolin (Jun 7, 2021 at 3:17)

He what?

iduckett FL (Jun 7, 2021 at 7:54)

Yea.

grampa (Jun 7, 2021 at 10:50)

Oooh, so THAT is what bike skills look like! H3ll yeah! Jack rips!

Steve101j (Jun 7, 2021 at 15:02)

that lock is not going to stop anymore. But good effort.

nigelnobrakes (Jun 7, 2021 at 19:31)

So much flex on that rear triangle is that normal?

SoddenDeath (Jun 8, 2021 at 4:51)

Another Aussie drift master. Must be something in the water.

jray152 (Jun 8, 2021 at 9:18)

There’s something about watching downhill riders rip enduro bikes

anthotalev (Jun 7, 2021 at 10:39)

Ripping!

titorips (Jun 7, 2021 at 9:05)

Love the AXS. Only brake cables!

Lolo-the-frenchie (Jun 7, 2021 at 12:52)

Enjoyed it !

Kmccann137 (Jun 7, 2021 at 7:37)

These smooth buffed trails look so sterile compared to the shit we have at MCBP. I’m not even sure we actually have dirt here in NJ.

AckshunW (Jun 7, 2021 at 7:58)

I agree....! Amazing riding, faster than I’ll ever be, and the trail looks fun. But seriously why did they have to take out all the rocks!?!??

My grumpy old self says.... an enduro bike is what you want for these trails..?????

withdignityifnotalacrity (Jun 7, 2021 at 9:23)

Ha, I'm sure he'd smash the rocks too. Ironically, MCBP is the place we come to find flow after riding Blue Mountain and Spring Mountain in PA

PhillipJ (Jun 7, 2021 at 15:38)

@AckshunW: why do you think they removed the rocks? Some places just don't have any.

ReformedRoadie (Jun 7, 2021 at 17:36)

@PhillipJ: they’re not serious...
If they were, they’d also ask why all the roots were cut out.

I am also from PA;!we are at the opposite end of the Buff-Jank spectrum from these trails.

fphayton FL (Jun 7, 2021 at 23:55)

LOL, must be why are the good riders are coming out of NJ Seriously, get a clue

Kmccann137 (Jun 8, 2021 at 3:29)

@fphayton: did you just get offended by a non-offensive comment?

BenTheSwabian (Jun 7, 2021 at 4:49)

Obviously it seems to work well for him, but just from looking at it, the bike looks way too small for him. Like as if he needed at least one size bigger than he currently rides

blazersdad89 (Jun 7, 2021 at 6:47)

As I recall, he chooses to ride a size large vs an XL. If you can find a bike check for last years bike he's got some interesting stuff going on. Super sized fork plus a spacer between the fork and the frame means the reach is even shorter.
