No, we filmed him exiting the trails. Look at 2:20; see the curb along the bottom of the screen? That's the exit of the trail onto the city road.

He owns a shop, he can ride whatever he wants. Plus a real salesman knows how all his/her products preform.

Totally gonna get his bike and jacket nicked!
Excellent vid tho, I wish my commute was that fun.
need a ladder bridge leading out of an upstairs window to the trail-head tho, so less of the hike-a-bike!

Haha - the shop owner where I bought my bike doesn't even ride, let alone ride with the kind of skill this guy has on all those skinnies and ladders. That is one hell of a commute! That trail looks super fun. I'm just beginning to develop skills riding on things like that so this is great fun to watch. Great vid :thumbs:

@tate27 for 2010 I was on a mission to do everything on one bike. The Rampant was amazing for that, XC, AM, DJ, DH, FR, comuting, the bike did everything well.
@bbakus, yes this is North Vancouver in Canada.

the covert is a sick bike for sure, but not really a do everything bike. if you could dirt jump it or hit big freeride lines with it then hats off to you bud. where as the rampant may not be the strongest climber, Matt has proved that you can xc, dh, dj, all in the same day, with the same bike. the only thing you need to change for the styles of riding is the seat post height.
"the truth" according to you sounds very subjective, having ridden a covert and a Banshee Spitfire i would go Spitfire any day of the week due to the Banshee's slacker HA and the fact that they have an engineer in house to design their linkages.

Matt, amazing video and amazing riding.....loved it. Also love another guy using Gripshift and the Spectrum Techwear jersey......Brad Walton should be proud.

For all those that are complaining about him not being shown coming out of the forest, this was filmed as an ad for the shop and not necessarily his actual commute.
- + 5
But it is my ACTUAL commute. Like I said earlier, the only way I could make a more true-to-life vid is to helmet cam the whole ride. Life is, indeed, good.

kool vid nice bike. however i HATE WITH A VENGENCE TWIST GRIP! PUT SOME PROPER SHIFTERS ON THAT BEAUTUFUL BIKE!!!
- + 2
I love the grip shift on the trails. My new Banshee AMP uses a trigger cause ripping through BMX tracks was the only place I would ever accidentally ghostshift.
And what richierocket says, I am an old-school dude.

to give it focus on the Rampant rather than the shop. Adam is working on a series to represent the entire Banshee line-up.

Like Matt said, I currently filming a series featuring all the guys from North Shore Bike Shop and the Banshee bikes they ride!- + 3

Yes here on the Shore we have sold lots with bigger forks like Domains, Lyriks, and Fox 36s. We have lots of steep terrain and in addition to the dj and 4x and slope, people want to ride their Rampants on the steeper Shore FR trails, and Whistler Bike Park.
It is an incredibly capable descender with the bigger fork on it but I barely ever used the full 160 mm. For everything but the absolute gnarliest terrain I was quite happy between 130 and 140, and of course for all the smoother stuff the fork stayed slammed at 110.

there is one "do-everything' bike that is far more superior to the banshee - transition covert! and next time someone comes into your shop looking for one - be nice and tell them the truth...yes - the truth!!!
