[Damnedsoul53]

my butt doesnt get sore but my vagina does...

[NikitasGuitars]

@Damnedsoul53 Thats how you know you're doing it right lol.

[ctcomebacker]

is my butt really going to be sore? what is the name of the bone you sit on ?? did you say the sit bone?? what is the bone you screw with?? the screw bone?

[Gottasuckit]

Get outa here haters, this guys sick.

[31acruz]

You are full of crap, it does does get easier, much easier, the meanest longest hill gets easy after a while if you keep your riding up. After a while your legs become like an engine, you just direct them. Also, if you are not crushing you are not learning ?? another load of crap.

[mccahill124]

@31acruz The thing about not crashing then not learning is true, can you honestly say that when you try something new you get it right?

[rayamanelly]

This man just changed my mind about the sport.

[SUBLIMEBANDRULES]

My bum did hurt today... Lol!

[mrrushking]

Old. !!!!!!!!

[Ye11ofrog]

"If your not crashing, your not learning." You know what, that is soo true. I like this guy.

[icalebkim]

Best bike with V-Brakes I've ever seen.

[boneflsh1]

right where it needs to be to cover your man period

[StarEssences]

What I would recommend as well for MTB shorts; well 3D road cycling shorts placed underneath loose fitting shorts (that are unpadded). This also works really well and causes less sit bone to groin tenderness issues.

[TurtlemanRulez]

i ride magna excitor and can ride 5 miles w/o stoping

[lolingsaraee]

oh no not another expert-not

[ehidalgo01]

@lolingsaraee Agreed. lol

[HeadHunter92294]

@HeadHunter92294 get trek 3500 or 3700 they r good quality mountain bikes for first timers the trek 3500 costs 359$ and 3700 for 399$. make sure you buy at a good local bike store

[xxshadow529]

im bmxing right now but in the spring im going into mtb is a 2010 gt Ruckus DX a good starter bike ?

[GustavJorgensen]

Hey I´m about to buy a new bike. When you buy it, it doesn´t have tireshields so I thought I´d buy that too, but now I see you don´t have any either. Aren´t they neccesary (or however that´s spelled :D) to keep your cloth clean? Now english is not really my native language but by "tireshields" I mean those plates of plastic above the tires preventing dust from jumping up on your cloths.

[conanwarriorkid]

Good on you for getting a bike!

No, you wont need them, as you will get dirty mountain biking, its just part of the sport.

Hope you have fun on your new bike :)

[BlakeKawalec]

nope, because.... your not going to put on nice clothing during mountain biking.... and muddy trails are the best.....

[Rubberpencil84]

@GustavJorgensen I've been riding for sometime now, and I have never had tireshields and have never had a problem. Even when I ride on really muddy or dusty trails, the mud and dust will travel onto the down tube, and onto your back. I don't mind a dirty bike or a dirty shirt. My friend that i ride with does have them, and they are mostly for looks. I personally prefer no shields, but that's just my preference.

[athena2822]

like to learn more about mtb

[amtzzero]

Its funny how if you click on "snarwars" name to see his channel he's flipping off "people who hate f-15's and are racist" but he's being a hypocrite by saying " I dont need a mexican here, LOL". He's just a horny liitle kid too, look at all the videos he has as favorites, hahaha!!!

[amtzzero]

It's funny how "snarwars" is making threats over the internet. What the hell is he gonna do? Throw punches through the monitor? Hahahahaha!!!!!!!

[cliffhucker13]

yeah right it probly sucks balls

[cliffhucker13]

you're just a little wuss that does cross country

[edgeof1]

do i really need shock forks for trail riding,,,not many rocks ,,and it seems to ride well as they are .or should i spend 400.00 for shock forks

[uberbikin]

i walk my bike about 10 kilometres up the nearby mountain with my friends and just ride down lolz... we have downhill/dirtjump bikes so there hard to ride uphill

[dirtrider2009]

if you sit down more than 20% of your ride, you are not doing shit. i dont get the whole seat-up-your-ass idea. you have wayyyyy more control and power over your bike standing up. fatasses

[PBlover14]

I have no control what so ever sitting. its ridiculous. Im kinda new, but i got a question for you man, is holdin the seat between your thighs helpfull? haha sounds stupid but idk it kinda helps when im goin down.

[dirtrider2009]

in certain situations yea but its all about whatever works for you and youre comfortable with.

[niallgrant7777]

[mogotecoyote]

I love Specialized bikes!

[VIade333]
