idk I like this, shows you can get into biking and rip around with your friends without having the newest bluetooth carbon super bike. Relatable and entertaining. Something the bike industry almost has no idea how to make. Looked fun, 50to01 forever

These videos should include an out of shape 40 year old friend that just got into mountain biking. That way I could relate more with the content.

That music makes it sound like the top deck of a bus going straight to Salford.

The spirit of 2003 street riding is all over this vid!

Where did all those French street riders on pink bikes go?

Ben Gerrish the most underrated man behind the lense!

Hi Ben!!

Too kind... does help when you have lads like the Waves boys, like shooting fish in a barrel.

Many tribes right but I get more out of this than rampage. Spirit.

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be downhillers.

Great crew, the clips always bring the stoke on a foul day. Thank you Cannondale for sponsoring freeriders and lettting them do what we all want to do!

motdrawde (Dec 12, 2023 at 8:21)

Is this another case of the sponsored athletes downsizing on frame and wheel size to make the bike playful enough for the advert?

Nothing stopping you from doing the same

motdrawde (Dec 13, 2023 at 2:30)

@Wamprat: yeah but it’s arguably a little bit of false advertising isn’t it? It’s like “here’s the new bike, it’s super fun and playful (if you dramatically change the spec and geometry)”

Captain65 (Dec 12, 2023 at 12:21)

The Riding around Manchester, this looks like real fun. It’s like they are part of some joy division

These are nice bikes, but there's something about seeing American, aluminum hardtails in the UK that seems a bit... off. Plus it's sunny? Seems a bit suspicious to me....

hot-beef-sundae (Dec 12, 2023 at 8:22)

cannondale is hardly american the last few decades

FatTonyNJ (Dec 12, 2023 at 12:57)

@hot-beef-sundae: I drive by the Cannondale, CT train station a couple of times a week. US roots for sure.

That new silver Kashima coat looks sick! Too bad its probably way more expensive.

Holy fist bumps bros!

How did Ratboy get his nickname?

everythingsucks FL (Dec 13, 2023 at 5:20)

Who could forget dear Ratboy?

More bike than what 90% of riders need... Hardtails rock.

"We sent the Cannondale Waves crew of Josh Bryceland, Max Nerurkar, Sam Cofano and Sam ‘Dave’ Hockenhull out onto the streets of Manchester and surrounding woods to put their Habit HTs to the test."

K.

Fire the intern btw.

sb666 FL (Dec 12, 2023 at 10:44)

That was an awesome edit... And why do you think Cannondale is paying him? Pro athletes in action sports (and motor sports) are basically billboards for their sponsors. Its a small price to pay to give these guys the profession of riding bikes and us the pleasure of watching sick content like this.
