[Dresdenlock]

Who is the band playing?...sounds like GBH.

[misssugar24]

In Sydney this weekend and will go riding at Manly dam.... I hope its not to wet....

[MrLizza21]

im getting my bike from bbf and it is a trek but way not as good i want to go to that trak i live close to there

[mtbRiderTC]

where is the manly dam

[ripplingmedia]

@mtbRiderTC Hey buddy it is in Sydney Australia... About 15 mins from Manly beach...

[dancingmule96]

ok so how much is the bike?

[ripplingmedia]

@dancingmule96 Wo7JKHg2

It depends on what country you live in?

[123ShadowFox]

sooooo got to ge to the dam, looks epic, must ride there!

sic bike too!

[duffyirebel]

where did you find that drop at 0:37? and the jump at 0:38?

[ripplingmedia]

@duffyirebel go to the overpass on Wakehurst Parkway and you will find the jump on the track below, once you hit the bottom turn left and follow the pipe up the hill and meet the track again near the retirement village, follow that along and you will find the rock drop off.

[duffyirebel]

@ripplingmedia sweet thanks i figured where the gap was but ill have look at the rock drop in a few days once the dam recovers from the rain :)

[sm51259]

Awesome review, but if you want a real bike, get a Merida Transmission 100-D, not bad though and cool to look at :-)

[cirkus197817]

Great review, great presentation, great edit. You've definitely helped me make my decision easier. I ordered my 2011 Remedy 9 today, I'll have it by Tuesday. Can't wait!

[EpiDemic117]

half the stuff they call "innovations" the motorcycling industry has been doing for YEARS longer. And what pisses me off is how some of their bikes go for over 6k. I CAN GET A MOTORCYCLE FOR THAT MONEY and it does alot more with much more advanced technology. The bicycling companies are a joke and easily fall behind in innovation.

[MardellGreenly]

Love ridin my trek.. would love to ride in Manly. Looks very hot there.

[ksdfwe86]

Looking Good..

[powderboy75]

That TREK video at Manly Dam is insane... Gonna show the crew in Whistler that vid..

[SlickBikes]

We have the best deals on Road and Mountain Bikes on the web!! Check us out Slickbikes. (rhymes with jon).

[snero3]

Dude you rock. Good review. I have never felt slower around manly dam than I do after watching this.

[ripplingmedia]

@snero3 Thanks buddy.. Good luck next time at the DAM...:)))

[TheDogchaser]

im like between 5' 4" and 5' 6", and i just started to get into mountain biking, would this bike be good for me?

[ripplingmedia]

@TheDogchaser Hey buddy check out the Trek website as they have a gr8 range of introductory bikes.. good luck and have fun.. :))

[colbymck]

@TheDogchaser As a fellow Trek lover and rider, I would recommend the Fuel EX 8. It's won numerous awards and is a fantastic bike for the price.

[JacksonJohhny]

Few crew I met in Whistler told me about Manly Dam.. Said it was a Rad ride.. Said you can ride the whole circuit in around an hour.. Mite check it out when Im back.

[aerialstunts100]

From memory this video was filmed a couple of years ago. Im not sure all of these areas were closed back then?

[ass23ful]

they have this at my local bike shop i have one similar and ive also riden on one there a beast :)

[tpthomaspalmer15]

That place looks fantastic. Dont know 2 much about Mountain Bikes only that I use mine to ride to training everyday. Might think about upgrading to a Trek Bike.

[CRDT]

This is my favorite bike. Too bad it's just so expensive.

[rorutherford]

Hi! Just about to buy a remedy but unsure of size. What size is being ridden in the vid, and how tall is Nigel? I'm 6ft, 32"leg. I tried the 18.5 and it felt slightly small. Would large to be too much? Many thanks.... :)

[ripplingmedia]

@rorutherford Hey buddy Nigel is 6ft and his bike is the 19.5... You could try that...

[rorutherford]

@ripplingmedia Hey r.m.! Thanks very much for the quick response. I have tested the 19.5 a few days ago and it felt more comfortable. I have since ordered one, and am very much looking forward to picking it up in the next day or 2, and getting out on it. Can't wait....! :)

[marek0086]

@ripplingmedia~ what about the Scratch Air??

[ripplingmedia]

@marek0086 Hey buddy hopefully that will be the next one.. :)

[marek0086]

@ripplingmedia~ how does the Remedy compare to the Specialized-Enduro and the Scott-Genius LT?

[ripplingmedia]

@marek0086  Hey buddy the Scott genius has better climbing capabilities.. Remedy is smoother

[marek0086]

@ripplingmedia~ what about the 'Spesh' - Enduro??

[Nath0202]

I meant central coast for Ourimbah and Awaba. Went to Ourimbah today so great guys doing some trail maintenance, it was dry and fast though the most part of it. Ourimbah is definitely more technical than Awaba.

[BulldogGymAustralia]

I ride Manly Dam 2 to 3 times a week and that spot at 0.58 is a jump that only goes one way man, so not sure how u would do it the other way.. Its on the otherside of the Parkway. Will checkout the Nth Coast.

[Nath0202]

Im sorry I ride manly dam almost every week and im not sure some parts of the video like 0:58 , I mean most of it is at manly dam but the wrong way... Still a good track but its better to go up the north coast to ourimbah, awaba or west to yellomundee for an amazing experience. I also highly recommend trek, I have a fuel ex 5, cheap but effective.

[MardellGreenly]

@Nath0202 is there a law at which way you should ride... I surf left and right.. :))

[Nath0202]

@MardellGreenly have you ever been to Manly Dam on a weekend??? It would be plain reckless if everyone went which ever way they like in the single track areas. No one would have a smooth lap. Maybe on the weekdays it might be alright.

[BulldogGymAustralia]

@Nath0202 I only ride the Dam during the week... alwayz quiet.. Im sure like many video productions you have to shoot many different angles to show how well the product works in various different terrain..

[Nath0202]

@BulldogGymAustralia yeh it would be completely fine for filming cause what's the point of testing it on similar stuff, you need variety of obstacles and be able to push the limits of the bike. I mean just for letting people know that the track isn't that diverse.

[cyguy67]

Bontrager accessories on trek frame is amazing! I have a trek3500 and it's so awesome it's deffinetly worth it

[unsisteop]

Cangratulations, guys! You made made a very cool video!!

[stershers]

What camera are you using dude to shoot this..

[utiocrize]

I've noticed that bike manufacturers are using carbon fiber frames. Will this be the norm in Mountain Bikes?

[untution]

Fast track... What;s the SONG?

[inthodoe]

Ballistic Beat...Ballistic Rider...Ballistic Video...Ballistic Place to ride.

[calickbn]

The overall nastiness of this video is bitchin.

[ormanhe]

man i really wish that was me

[ankintswa]

I hope this week i get my Scratch! i cannot wait no more!!!!!

[cherptie93]

the rush for dh biking is awesome, I've had Trek dirt bikes and I like the rush from dh biking much more

[geezerboy35]

I saw on Fox News that Sydney is very very Hot... That bike looks rad but think I would prefer a surf in Manly instaed.

[boshbol]

I have exactly this bike Trek Remedy 9, it's unique here in Guatemala. The ABP conbined with the DRCV and 150mm is a powerfull bike for everything.

[powderboy75]

Sweet vid dude.. I have a TREK session 88 and it smashes Whistler 2 bits. All my fav sections in summer im shreddin the POW now. Manly dam looks rad..

[slyinotsag]

Be good to see other Trek MTB reviews that are professional like this.

[plosingu]

I never realized how good the Manly Dam is.

[elyterag]

I am going to ride the Manly Dam next time I come to Sydney, looks insane.

[masedoma]

Fantastic, will you be doing other Trek bikes.

[nestlysm]

My buddy has one of these, now I know why he can tackle everything.

[pretencori]

I wish there was more of this comprehensive style of review, makes the purchasing process easier.

[ditionern]

Those Demo days sound like a great idea.

[teriess6]

This bike has my vote, the dual suspension is unbeatable, I love it.

[utiocrize]

I love my Scott Gambler 30.

[plosingu]

got one of these for Christmas, crazy bike for its price...

[nestlysm]

I have been riding in NZ but not in OZ yet... Manly Dam looks choice....

[genthig]

That guy is fit.. he throws that bike around so easy

[anasivess]

Most TREK bikes are so well made. The remedy 9 sux up everything in its path. :- D

[genrefit4]

great jump @ 1:18...

[knotzurbs]

That is some dry looking bush and I have heard alot about Manly Dam.
