Good vid and real music! Nice one Wyn.

Looks like a wyn, wyn to me. If you haven't tried one yet, EMTB's are definitely a lot of fun to ride...

@RowdyAirTime: I've tried them. They are a blast on the uphills. For peple (not pros) with a rather active riding style however they feel sluggish when pointed down the slope.

The gaps he made look easy actually near impossible. Way to go wyn!

Seems like it looks more fun to pop on a regular bike

The music is The Boomtown Rats -Looking after No.1 from about 1978/79.

E bikes are so much more stable in the air than a lightweight bike. Sweet edit.

This is a bike park on private property? Loam trails where I ride aren’t sustainable...

dirtbiker100 (Mar 1, 2021 at 4:26)

Sustainability doesn't factor high on most local spots in the UK. They are not signposted and often fewer riders that know about them the better.

dbxrace (Mar 1, 2021 at 5:26)

Yeah, shame Trailforks exists. Loam trails here exist for about a week and then they're just ruts for the rest of time.

Loaming on an ebike. Great. Dig that hole deeper. My hero.

Chuckolicious (Mar 1, 2021 at 11:11)

Ahh, I see now why you are incapable of simply using the EMTB filter. You need to virtue signal to your tribe by looking for ways to pee on the opposing tribe. Gotcha. Carry on.

cirque4 (Mar 1, 2021 at 17:01)

@Chuckolicious: Nothing to do with ebikes - loaming is an incredibly destructive practice. BTW, i have nothing against ebikes - they are simply not mountain bikes. Like, an apple is not an orange. Should be pretty simple. but if you need more help...

Chuckolicious (Mar 1, 2021 at 18:36)

@cirque4: Aww, ain’t you cute, being all coy. Kinda unbecoming for a man of your years, dontcha think?

Please be aware UK and North West.
Scott Ransom 2019 920 heavily modified
Stolen from Whalley Range Manchester 17.11.20

Be aware of the parts (see full spec below), not just the frame. I am sure someone could try stripping and selling.
Unfortunately I didn’t take a pic after I completed this build. But it was caught in photos of other parts as pictured.
It is the 2019 920 but with the silver/raw finish of the same 2020 one.
I had the horrible sand/brown/orange paint stripped and the bike clear coated.
So it has no branding either but it does have this protective vinyl skin www.dyedbro.com/products/viking
If anyone has done the same to their ransom, please show me pics that I can use to post.

Look out for any shoddy sprayed ransoms. I imagine they will probably strip and sell the parts and maybe respray the frame to sell later as that’s the most traceable
Serial no GW1805288

Full spec
Large Scott Ransom 920 Bike (acid dipped and clear coated for the raw/silver finish)
FOX Nude T EVOL (I upgraded this to the kashima factory version and removed the branding)

@Matt115lamb: didn't even watch it. Watching other people enjoy their bikes is too depressing for me atm.

valleytroll (Feb 28, 2021 at 5:33)

Think i found www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Scott-RANSOM-Downhill-Bike/274612768684?hash=item3ff0324fac:g:kXYAAOSwQOdf14Nv

Seriously have you seen the price they want for that piece crap - that's the real crime

baca262 (Feb 28, 2021 at 10:59)

@drmantistobogganmd: you report a bike stolen and this is what you get. world's gonna end up on fire one of these days...

Bushmaster123 (Mar 1, 2021 at 8:02)

nvranka (Mar 1, 2021 at 9:04)
