Bike Check: Dawid Godziek's NS Decade Dirt Jump Bike
Dawid Godziek only started competing in mountain biking events in 2018 but he's already risen to become one of the best riders in the sport. Bringing his deep bag of tricks learned in the BMX world to slopestyle courses around the world, he's already medalled at two Crankworx events and is getting more ambitious with each run.
We were so impressed with Dawid's latest edit that we decided to have a look around the bike he was using to pull it off. Both the Godziek brothers ride NS Decade frames and Dawid runs his with a RockShox Pike fork, a hydraulic gyro and a SRAM singlespeed set up. Let's get stuck into all the details:

NS Bikes built its name in dirt jumping and the aluminium Decade the frame of choice of both of the Godziek brothers and Max Fredrikson.
Trickstuff's Trixer Gyro allows Dawid to run hydraulic brakes while also spinning his bars in both directions as much as he likes. The Trixer is one of the only hydraulic gyros on the market and it apparently went way over budget in the design process for Trickstuff, but they just wanted to prove they could do it. For more info, read our first look, here.
That gyro is linked to a Trickstuff Piccola brake. The Piccola isn't as powerful as the four-pot Maxima, but if you're only using it once at the end of a slopestyle run, the lighter weight is more important.
Also minimalist is the drivetrain for Dawid. He runs a 32T chainring and a 13T cog.
The Continental Speed King Race Sport tyre is designed to be fast-rolling on hardpack for lightweight XC builds but it works for Dawid's purposes too.
Industry 9 Hydra hubs on both wheels.

"Ok guys, this may shock you, but:
UK English = forks
Amer. English = fork
End of. That's right - there are differences in the regional variations of certain languages! That's amazing!
Now stop bitching about it."
I'm complimenting the DJ bike. I'm also complimenting PB for show us other types of riding. Other bikes.
I personally have zero interest in slack and low 29ers.
Still rocking my 26 inch mini DH bike.
26 inch wheels take more skill to appreciate. They are also lighter , faster on acceleration, stronger.
It's refreshing to see something different.
