Jeez, who cares if he doesn't have a DOWNHILL SPECIFIC bike? Remember back when mountain bikes had ZERO suspension? Yeah, those were downhill bikes too.

[BluntsIsYum]

[lst2sconer]

all he did was demonstrate a track stand he was meant to show a downhill riding position. for starters he was moving around all over the place and was on a piece of level ground talikng about how his hands fit onto his handle bars completely pointless

[ezikiel666]

arguing online is like winning the special olimpics, even if you do win ur still a retard

[oocl76]

[Xgamer43]

Please learn to ride downhill or MTB 

[Downhilltiramisu]

Stop insulting this guy, he just wants you guys to stay safe when going downhill.

[TSimpson1993]

@Downhilltiramisu which is fine, if he wasn't handing us a crock of horse shite, his advice is fine for cross country, but not at all for downhill. on one of his other videos he reccomended a semislick rear tire and a 2.2 front, thats just bad advice!

[Downhiller1894]

omg shut up you dickhead!!

dont listen to him!!!

he´s the biggest noob i´ve ever seen!!

[lukaskoch05]

fucking stupid guy, bike and talking

[reaperdude15]

[trekliquid55]

[loli832]

you need to weight the front on a berm or it slips out.

little thing called physics

[flippy0450]

[zp9898]

[lexcan05]

Wow no one has anything good to say about this guy, he must love that!!!

[ASGREEDYASAPIG]

Expert Village ,lol ,everything they do is shit

[kinfiniti1]

i like when he says "attack position" lol

[RenoVageR]

:))

[ItsRedux]

This guy is full of shit.

[sambeckerno1]

he says that when people ride they stand up straight. LOL :D

[tt01dwifta]

where is your helmet? oh...thats why your advice is shit

[exara666]

lol i used a stock norco scrambler for years just swaped out the rimz and tires for dh grips and got new brake cables

[jasonwhy]

Dad why do these people hate you so much?

[xXDavePCTutorialXx]

omfg thats nod a downhilll, thats a solid grandma bike!



[drunksmokingjurkk]

ur seets way to low

[texasheartnsoul]

I've seen this guy before. In my opinion, he spends too much time "trying" to balance on the bike and not fall then explaining anything worth listening to. I mean, stand by the bike, explain then show. Not, "try" to balance, breathe heavy, and not say anything useful.

[colinprprpr]

arent u supposed to be almost behind ur seat, or else ul just flip forward. thats kinda how i ride

[kennyG9800]

Who in there right mind would spend 5000 on a DH bike unless your sponsored and in the olympics.....buy a car for heavens sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i spent 1300 on a brand new 07 jamis diablo 1.0 which is enough bike for anyone using it for recreational purposes

[sammurai1]

[Invisit]

Duh!... He was not in a competition, I bet u suck at MTB

[germankid93]

you're a fool, if you're not riding and just sitting still how is it noobish to get off of your bike?

[ftpaddict]

Shouldn't a proper DH bike have a Boxxer-series fork?

[eatmydirt85]

u suck harry hard cock u deuche

[ottoyu101]

your grandma owns you in DH on a walmart bike. POS

[neo3400]

you dumbass thats a $1000 custom bike frame with the expensive parts!

[magiccaterpillar]

$1000 isnt expensive its more of an entry level price my DH bike is $5000 and its still not the best it can be

[neo3400]

Ya no shit, i was just saying that ain't a walmart bike.

[youstinkmom]

is that a prophet? aka ALL MOUNTAIN

[Xjtjsoccer98X]

Things I know about you 1. Your reading my comment 2. Now your saying/thinking thats a stupid fact. 4. You didnt notice that i skipped 3. 5. Your checking it now. 6. Your smiling. 7. Your still reading my comment. 8. You know all you have read is true. 10. You didnt notice that i skipped 9. 11. Your checking it now. 12. You didnt notice there are only 10 facts

[slimjim5499]

thats not even a downhill bike. and he has hella thin ass tires...NOT DH...don't listen to him. he's full of shit.

[nip2121]

yeah i agree!

he doesnt even have his seat right.

i though he would show you how to ride downhill all he does is show you he can balance on that walmart bike.

[Invisit]

I can DH on a walmart bike!! even on a mexican walmart bike!! YEAH BABY!!!

[06tolsonl]

@slimjim5499 i know man i have like 26x2.50 tyres

[TheBiblemen]

@slimjim5499 its not a DH bike but tires dont mean shit so your just making a dumbass out of your self like the guy on the video by posting a comment like that

[motabikeboy]

@slimjim5499

and how the fuck does that change the information he is telling you?

[ZminKs]

@slimjim5499

Mate, now your just beeing mean..

If its a DH bike or not, it dont MATTER !

Coz whats he is showing and telling is correct and a perfect start for a beginner to keep in mind before he/her gets there own type of riding style and can manage on there own.

So dude, stfu and stop trying to sound like a PRO. Coz your not.

Nuff Said!

[sireduardo420]

@slimjim5499 you really meat to tell me that you think that the things this guy said aren't true? Just because you don't think his bike is up to the job? Sure, he apears to be a pretty low level rider, but his advice seems pretty realistic, even if he was kinda unprepaired to make any kind of visiual demonstration.

[bmw3451]

My brother watched this video so he thought he could do downhill no problem. He has a fractured collar bone a broken wrist and 2 broken ribs. The only thing that can give some one the skill to ride downhill is experience, you cant teach it from a video you ass. btw you look like a damn fool

[magsn1000]

what a fu***** shit

[PRIMODOG]

who the F*#%k is this dork riding on a semislick rear tire. and trying to teach how to ride

[akulahwoihan]

daaa.....my mom can do better than him

[pizzaasshole123]

daaaaanng he got some good balance

[724801724]

i got better balance

[MATTIAmtb]

andate a vedere: MAREMMA CUP INTERNATIONAL RACE

[coticbfe]

this guy talks complete bollocks! i cant believe he actually thinks hes doing good for people!

[nosymetry]

curious thing is that he says that standing on the bike like in his first explanation is not very good, but sam hill is riding exact that style....

[power22332]

lol, look at his legs from the knee and below. you can't be standing like that on a trail riding.. but it's working when do a little urban..

[yacuzah]

he says you should stand low ?

[dazddman]

guys who post negative comments, where are your fooking videos then. You are the nooobs..... Easy to hide behind your keyboards tossers

[sammy354]

why does eveyone get on here and talk shit, damn bros he's just trying to help you guys, cut him some slack ... if you swear you're top shit, then make a video

[mdragondz]

right,he helped me a lot,I m beginner

[12berrecloth]

yeah lay of on the guy

[riderboys]

m8 ur shit at track stands lol,

[ccvcorp]

N00B!!!!!

[markpro74]

yeah nice DH bike whats it got like 4 inches of travel yeah thats amazing. its more like and xc bike. I would never use something like that for DH riding

[samaowpasta]

I would use anything that has two wheels and some breaks, a seat would be helpful too.

[SweetSugarHigh]

Why not? I ride with only 6inch and Pikes like his. It's actually great practise to take a HT down a track.

[markpro74]

i here what your saying man. i,ve had a rocky flow for all my beginner years and it held up good great for learning. but when u start stepin it up a couple notches the HT just dosn't hold up. i was bustin parts almost every rider. I went and spent a couple grand on a giant glory and it is amazing. all my old trails were so much easyier and i gave me a huge confidence bost. i would never go back. the only reason i said his bike was shity was because i was relating it to my style of DH riding.

[Apaxcad]

Marko, think me and my bro are getting to that stage, busting spokes, etc. A light aluminium HT gives you the freedom to go X-Country trail Blazing, DH, triple clamps would be a bit heavy.

[markpro74]

yeah

[mikewashere01]

i got a bridgestone hard tail and handled great in the kentucky mountains and i paid 10 bucks for it in a scrap yard so rember even old bikes still hold up

[93JoE19]

i know a semi-pro guy who has that same bike except his is silver and he uses it for super-D races, which isnt totally downhill but you could still use a downhill for it. but sure that isnt really a total downhill bike, but you could use it as one and really learn how to ride so when you got on a downhill bike youd be really fast.

[724801724]

oh ya you could use that for downhill if you want to go over the bars but if you want to keep it rubber side down you need a bike with at least 7.5 inches

[ed781]

@724801724 ahaha you sure brian lopes won the air dh on a 6 inch ibis....

[724801724]

@ed781 yes your right he did, but im talking about world cups not groomed courses like the air dh that course is smooth and hard pack from what i can see, also no one i have ever seen could win a uci race downhill on a 6 inch ibis.

[ed781]

@724801724 ahahh true true but im pretty sure 99% of these guys ride local stuff and not uci WC tracks

[724801724]

@ed781 yes true but that still dosnt change the fact that this guy dosnt know what hes talking about when it comes to downhill racing.

[ed781]

@724801724 ahah yeah i agree

[irishlibertine]

Omfg!

So all you's knobs have a DH bike, a freeride bike, a trail bike, and a jump bike? Of course you's dont stupid fucks! Unless your on a world cup track your not really gonna need a 200m fork! I can nearly 100% say he would beat any of use down a dh track on that, caus for a start its light, easy to pick the front up and place it wherever you want and he can flick it around... Try it

[nara94]

no what u want is an iron horse sunday world cup!!!!! they r amazing they r litish but ye they r esay to manoover and grate 4 dh!!!!!

[724801724]

you wanna bet. ive got trails in my back yard that bottom my fox 40s and they are 200 mm and its not a uci course

[irishlibertine]

What does bottoming your fork have to do with anything? Your meant to bottom them at least once every ride.. What I'm saying is you don't need a full on dh bike for most tracks. Unless your racing 6 inch is the way to go.

[hoodyGSA]

shit bike, i got kona stinky 07 XD was gunna get 08 but i like piggy back's

[nara94]

i got 1 qustion do u find the stinky flimzy cos my frend had 1 and he said they were flimzy but i have never ownd 1 so i dont know.....im an iron horse guy

[xXxDonutBoyxXx]

rofl those things say MADE IN CHINA LOL DURH SUCKAGE

[TheAussiNut]

Hes takin his seat of next show to show you how the bike can fuck him up the ars as many ways as posible

[Gazzaloddi1580]

dude u need 2 get laid, dumb ass

[uqwiwoo179047]

wtf? you suck. you are gay. go suck some balls

[Gazzaloddi1580]

dude u need 2 get laid, dumb ass

[ainatari]

you suck!

[JuLcrimson]

THAT is NOT a dh bike

[WhitlockSam]

Most definitely not a dh bike. Single-pivot WITHOUT an external res (DHX 4+) is just stupid.

[DownHillRacer91]

have you never heard of gee atherton?? At least 20% of his races he runs on single crown forks. (lisbon dh for example)and with the fox floats , not the dhx. It all just depends on your style. I started racing and winning on a stumpjumper fsr, hardly a DH bike.

[93JoE19]

yeah i have an '08 Demo 7 with 7.6 inches in the rear and 7 in the front, so its totally a downhill bike and its a single crown fork. i actually like single crowns more mostly for jumps cause you can tweak stuff out more than you can with a tripple crown
