I'm considering buying a real mountain bike. Can anybody suggest a bike that can take the beating? I understand that not all "mountain bikes" are actually built for mountain biking. Is there a company/make/model that any cycling enthusiasts can recommend? Thanks!
im thinking about getting into freeriding, so i have some questions. main one: why does it look like they're riding their brakes on the way down but they go so fast?
After a month of riding my new bike and wondering why the fork shocks were so stiff.... i realized that the guy at the shop locked up the reload and i was riding with like ~20mm.... Facepalm......
@artfan101 check out ebay, I ride a cannondale f600( 2002) - you can pick these bikes up for around 500 to 900 - depends on how motivated the setter is. Huge gap in price but seriously - there is a big price range. There are new 29ers out there for under 1000 and they're probably better than my cannondale when it was new.
thanks for responding, since then i have gone and it was a blast. I think im gunna look for a new bike though because my specialized epic is great for xc, but it does not have enough suspension travel for this type of riding
does iron horse make good mountain bikes? im not doing anything insane like this, just starting out, and theres an iron horse for sale at my local sports shop. its a $600 bike, clearance for 350, front and rear disk brakes, nice front fork, seems like a good deal...buying it pretty much no matter what. just wondering about them.
@paperclipracer that was my first real mountain bike. Its super low end, but your right it does hold upcause i put mine through hell. Now in getting a 6' travel full suspention freeride bike.
i kinda want an all purpose mtn bike decent not super high end not crapy for under about 600 is that do able? any suggestions? i like the way these bike look how much are these?
@ASTELECT the bikes the are riding are most def atleast $1800+. On of the guys is rdding a hartail. I thing its buy s company called banshee that has hartail made for ridding very hard. You could build a good freride hardtail for $800
S/he's new, there's no real need for the attitude. Everyone's got to learn at some point... So chill dude and try to be helpful.
There is no such thing as a stupid question, especially when you are unfamiliar with the average price of gear and all you know of at $200 "mountain" bikes from target.
unfortunately none exist, that cheap and it will just fall apart. You can get a decent hardtail for about $470 though, check out specialized, they are pretty good.
A better option would be to find a local bike shop and ask them in person.
it depends how much your pushing yourself. I have switched to a full helmet because i have damaged my body so much from covering my face when I crash, so I just use a helmet that covers my face instead :D
i actually ride custom bike but use shimano brand parts becouse yah they are crappy but becouse they are some lawsuite thing requires that if a shimano part breaks they have to replace it for free and i break stuff on my big all the time so i switched its cheaper
Cranked up a lil or not, awesome. I would love to see ski-lovers try the same path you all took. Yes this would be an over all choice between skiing and Off-Road skimming. "Skimming" is what friends and I called off road biking. i.e. Skimming the dirt. Awesome video.
Some people have mentioned this video being fast-forwarded. I can't comment on that but if it's in real time, big props because you guys are really ripping it up.
Excellent Video! I am a shooter/editor. What camera/lens setup did you use. What software did you edit with? Thanks! Awesome biking as well. I was watching this because I used to BMX and now want to Mountainbike. I'm looking into the Forge Sawback 5xx 19".

I'm pretty sure it's real-time, only the frames-per-second seem a little slow, so the mind tries to compensate.
