Danny might have only been halfway through his whip but that beer was done.
WHAT!? No Thailand showing? C'mon! You know you're gonna want a tropical premier!
Got to spend weekend shredding one of these this spring and loved it through and through. I took it on the full spectrum of trails, from flowy jumps to long ride up logging roads to the nastiest of dh rides and except for feeling a little nervous on the steepest rootiest sections because I was getting used to the bike I loved it through everything. One of the more versatile bikes I've ridden. And definitely seemed to want to be off the ground more than on it. But in a really really fun way. This bike begs to fly. One of these days it'll be in my quiver.
I think there is a level of creativity implied in the concept of freeriding. Not that it is a form of riding stricken from trails or big jumps but owes to the freedom of inspiration that the riders and builders explore. Whether or not they are judged by a group of other people or choose to define a trail as 'dh,' a flowy jump trail, or some super gnar there is still the creativity and imaginative freedom in the building or expression of the rider that embodies what freeriding is all about. And just because there are so many more people who ride now than when freeriding was a more common tern doesn't mean its dead. I bet all the people who are using it now are riding wherever you aren't. Just sayin.
That was a fantastic video. Best of luck on your recovery.
