Smile

 Thank you mate! This trail is all rocks and roots, making it slow in the ice! ahahhhahhahah I need more red, Im hooked, I would love a red set of wheels when these crap out on me. hahahahhahaha I finished into the car park was just random and I too like it as an ending! Good times in the cold weather! RideOn matey!

 If you want ano red then look no further than superstar, because they buy strait from the factory (no distributes/ warehouses) their prices are much lower than normal (30% / 40%) but the kit they sell is top notch and it all comes in ano colours! I don't know if they ship to Japan but they are well worth checking out as their custom hand-built wheel-sets are excellent quality and the choice's of size, type and colour will leave you surprised!

 Thank you for the link! I will check it out, I think I've seen superstar before and liked them very much! Here in Japan there are some great wheels from fire-eye that I have had my eye on. The red wheels are super hot, hahahahhahha I will have look and see the love superstar has to offer! rideOn!

 Great song selection! Razz Looks like a technical ride! Roots, rocks, add some snow and ice on there too makes it that much more harder! Nice riding!


The Cherry looks plush and very balanced! tup

 Thank you! I had a great little ride. I woke up with no work and a morning of snow. I was a little reluctant to go out and ride but was glad I did. The trial is pretty steep, so its a slow rolling trials as its rocky and twisty and you cant really let the brakes go or you'll get out of control. The snow just snowballed the experience, ahahhahahhahahah I randomly found this song as was stoked to find such a charming video for the CherryBomb! Now, that I have settled on the air pressure the bike is very balanced and playful. It has a great balance between a firm and plush ride. Meaning on fast rocky sections she sinks deep in the travel feeling very plush but when I have to pop the rear or hop a section it feels firm and bunnies to the occasion. Im loving the new Cherry! rideOn!

 RidEOn mate and thank you for finally catching on!
hahahhahhahahahhah

Learning to push your mentality to new levels humbles your soul.
Please be creative and challenge your self to make your own!
It certainly fits the bill for every occasion.

In America Right On stand for cool, great, good job, Im happy, I understand so RideOn is just a play on words that follows the inspiration to ride.
The yearning we have stroke our cranks up and down the trial until our lungs explode with excitement.
Please learn to accept and grow within!
hahahhahahhahahhah


Now in reality did you really like the video?
If so, Im thrilled!
RideOn dude!

 Yeaaah dude, RideOn! sweet video too RideOn

 Loved the song, but what I've enjoyed best in this movie was the contrast between the snow and the green of the trail buddy! Magic!
  • + 1
 Yes, it just started to snow in the morning and all the snow was fresh powder. The contrast between the green and white was very beautiful in person! The song was just a match to my bike the CherryBomb, ahhahahhahah It fit quite well! RideOn mate!

 Sweet vid dude.
I'd just like to ask...is your bike a pimp?
Because it's got a lot of hose.
  • + 1
 jhhahahahajajjaahhaajajahhahahajaja Its for free spins, bar spins. I have have my cables like this for 6-8 years now and its always worked, just it looks funny I guess! RideOn mate!
  • + 1
 Awesome! But... I've ridden some frosted roots, I sure did - when the temp is close to 0 C they can get really icy and then things get bloody sketchy! Cheers!
  • + 1
 Thank you Waki! Thats why I was taking it easy and going super slow. The roots and rocks were super slippery. It was -3 degrees yesterday morning during my ride and probably around -1 when I finished. The steep sections feels good but very sketchy! hhahhahha RideOn mate!
  • + 1
 yea, when temperature drops to subzero fast an well under, it is not a problem as most roots will stay dry. But if it's around 0, freezing, defreezing water and moisture all the time, then holy macaroni - it will teach you 1.How to find good braking spots 2. How to stay off the brakes. Instant punishment for test failure Big Grin


This is what I like about riding in weird conditions, you can learn some good stuff if you just look for the positives and stay smart Big Grin
  • + 1
 100% right brother!

I realized early in this ride I had to stay off the front brake 85% and keep my speed slow enough to just tap the rear and roll through each section.

I also felt a need to stay over the bars and push the bike into the rocks and roots to capture traction so I could ease the need to brake.

All in all I stayed on and didnt crash!
ahahhahaha

I also upped the compression on the rear as I wanted to feel each bump rather than letting the sag take the blunt force.
In doing so, I could determine if I was slipping and compensate my weight saving my arse, ahahahhaha
RideOn!
  • + 1
 wow that compression thing sounded like a higher art... must test!
  • + 1
 Yes!
I know as a standard it sounds backwards, but with 50% increase in compression your able to put control back into your muscles rather than relying on the shock to take the forces.
On rainy days too, I add 50% low speed compression.

Remember, Im riding 15-20% slower than usual so, the stiffer rear feels like you have control.
When at high dry speed less compression and more sailing, ahahaahhah

Please test is out.

 Thanks for the tip man, I'll do! All the best, Cheers!

 Did you have this song especially made for your Cherry Bomb? Cherry handlebar as well! Awesome winter ride, a little dangerous when you are on your own, brother!

RideOn!
  • + 1
 Yes, thank you Manny! Danger is very right, I was thinking of going higher but decided to call it quits about half way up. The snow was getting thicker and if I slipped it would not have been pretty! This song is my wife, aahahahhahahha No, I found it randomly its really cool and I was saving it for a solo ride on the cherry! hahahahhah Im loving the red bars, they feel good! rideOn!
  • + 1
 Heheh green leafs and snow I dont know how for you but for me it looks unreal. Cool trail and ride you should think about DH.
  • + 1
 RideOn brother! The green plants are deciduous so the contrast is unreal but very beautiful. I love DH, its always fun carving rocky trials flowing from line to line! RidEOn!

 Haaaahahahahaahah cool vid Man! where the hell did U get that song hahahaha?RideOn!
  • + 1
 I dont know my wife found it. Its a teenagers pop song and perfect for my video, ahahhahahhahhaha I like it, my kids are now singing Cherry Bon Bon all day, ahahahhahhahahha RideOn!
  • + 1
 ... and now you got me singing "Cherry Bon Bon" (so catchy!) all day, too - LOL! Can't believe you (your wife) found that song for your bike/video - perfect. (I'll have to Google search that later out of curiocity, hahah.)

Man, that surely looks cold, but it's a beautiful scenery! I didn't know it snows in Kyushu, but my folks tell me that it's crazy-snowy winter in To~hoku area this winter. (I actually was just Yokohama/home over the holidays for 3.5wks for the 1st time in 4yrs, or 1st New Year there in over 10yrs. It was nice, especially for kids/grands.)

Loved 01:18, too!
  • + 1
 Thank you PiroChu!

1:18 was a kofunn
Its amazing but they are all over the mountains here.
The Snow is actually very little here for us but yes in norther Japan its outrageous!
They have over 5 meters of snow and they say its a first in 47 years!

Im happy to hear you and your family made it home for NewYears!
Your kids must have had a great time!
New Years is very special here in Japan and eases my heart as Christmas in America!

 Hey, thanks for the YouTube link, too, hahaha. I also had found a Chinese website that steams her songs. Scary how hooked I got now, LOL-LOL!

By the way, why is that whenever I tried to go to www.dabombbike.com my browsers give me warning not to go? Being paranoid, I've not visited your bike's manufacturer site yet...

Take care.
  • + 1
 hhahahahhahahah
It is a trippy song and her video was really funny, I think she wants to be a Doll!

I too went to the DABOMB site and got the same warning?
I don't know?

Well here in Japan the Distributor I got it from is a great guy.
He hook my up with the frame at a great price.
Here is his site, its in Japanese so please do you best, ahahhahahahhaha
Im sure your Japanese is rusty and crusty after being in the California sun for 20 years, ahhahah
