sounds like its ripped right from sims 2

Actually the music reminds me of a decade even before that. 1996 with the song Firestarter by Prodigy.

im pretty sure its an omage to the Parks and Rec intro

Love the drum & bass.

Reminds me of worlddance 93 Lydd Airport.

This is kind of a win win for their marketing by showing that their bikes will maintain value (or at least speed)

Also a lot of people who buy new dh bikes rather than an enduro, are racers of some kind, so the winning margins are actually still kind of big

I remember years ago asked for the weight of one of their XC frames. They gave me back the weight of every single size, no questions asked. Most brands (at least back then) wouldn't give it out for FS bikes and if they did, they'd weigh the smallest. Impressive transparency.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking this😂

Wait, it's not?! ;-)

Miss rat boy.

@@roryhaggerty7768 totally.

😂. That old thing looked like a fifty pence piece.

@@santacruzbicycles2841 it looked bent

xx

Do you still ride it? If so we want to see a photo.

I have a santa cruz bullit 2003 too, with Rock Shox Boxxer and i Ride all day with them.

You don't need 10 000 dollar bike to have fun nor to be fast...

It sounded like the 2006 bike was actually more fun for him

@@joemcmanus3585 I figured it would out corner the bigger bike. The only reason the 29er won was it rolled over obstacles with less impact and then the rolling mass helps it keep momentum. But just a smidge. Smaller wheels are way more fun and playful.

@@deanhenthorn8674 He mentioned he took it easy because his brakes were burning out . Change the brakes

@@deanhenthorn8674 if your a tall rider small wheels arnt much more playful and fun really.

Same here……have never ridden a 650b or 29er. My 2007 Yeti 575 is plenty good for me.

if it shreds, it shreds!!! latest aint always the greatest!! :)

😎

i picked up a 2007 kona stinky for £350 a couple years ago, got an 05/06 orange 224 for £350 last year... if you keep looking, bargains are abundant!!

Cause theyre faster rolling just have to be able to muscle them more in the rough.

Couldn't agree more. He's a legend on and off the bike.

Fast

a lot of people run bikes like that

Would be perfect for your teenage kids.

@@brianbreen2499 who makes such a bike??

Check Rocky Mountain Maiden 2020 full 26" on Jordan Boostmaster channel, that bike fcking shreds!!!

In about 2 or 3 years.

Totaly. New bikes liverys are quite boring, when we compare them to old colorful ones... Think about old Demo 8s... they were painted so beautifuly....

05 Nomad such a blast! 👊✊

Thank you! Cheers!

29er makes sense on climbs/rocky slow stuff. High speed just seems to make less improvement

I still have my 2013 DH bike for park laps. I don’t mind banging it up. The newer bike is for pedal days.

I’ve been using a 2009 giant trance as a trail bike for a few years and it’s not a bad bike, lighter than most newer bikes, only bummer is the geometry feels awkward/sketchy when you push it but it’s an awesome bike.

@@isaiascabral8663 I still have a 2009 Ibis Mojo HD. It’s an insanely capable all round bike, but I feel the same, if I go too hard on a tech or DH trail it does start to feel a little out of its element.

Unfortunately I finally gave up my 2003 Big Hit 26/24 mullet, but my 2013 Enduro EVO (26er) is getting mulletized this winter with a 27.5 front end after my Van 36 seals went.

Somebody needs to make a viable modern 26" fork.

Peaty is as good today as ever. Unbelievably talented on a bike, and still loves it as much as ever. That's a champion.

@@santacruzbicycles2841 it gives me hope as I'm the same age as Steve! Lol

Glad you like it! Steel City Media are our media magic makers. It was their idea (and it took a bit of convincing to get Peaty on the old bike).

Hi Santa C and Steel City Media. Absolutely loving your work and the tunes. It would be great if you could add the music used in your vids in the credits or the description. Both my apps are struggling to match the tunes with the audio over the top. Cheers G Ps yes thats all I want for Christmas

@@glenhamilton8414 here's what I got, using Shazam: Bukam Bells - Florian (old bike run 2) RUOCK IT - Jailed Jamie (old bike run 3) Yardman Ting - Florian (new bike run 2 thru end of video)

Glad it was helpful!

Photos please!

Couldn't agree more!

Imho they should have mandated 26" and a wheelbase limit in pro DH.

i just hope the oval wheel doesn't come back.

but it is fun!

@@filipw8050 I'm for mandating square wheels.

I went biking just the other day and sampled a couple short DH runs, on a bike with 26" tires. I can't wait to return to the trail and try it again; it was really fun! Although I'm sure 27.5" is the sweet spot for downhill, I think 26" is nowhere as bad as some claim it is. It's not as though everyone is riding extremely technical terrain anyway.

I'm glad you like it

Thank you.

They Just need to get back on rockshox.... that boxxer on the old v10 is still better than todays fox 40.

And if he had good brakes and wider bars he would have a lot more confidence in going flat out on the older rig. This is 2006 build 26” didn’t get crushed by the industry until around 2015 at the latest. A more modern 26 or at least one with better condition parts he would be very close if not the same…

@@drumandbassking12345 I concur.

Very expensive per second. I'd say to the average joe : Train more, improve your technical skills and confidence, keep this money to explore more trails. And most of all, have fun.

@@paddor Why are you mad bro? Are you triggered because some people just don’t like wagon wheels and would rather ride smaller wheels? Does it hurt your feelings because smaller wheels accelerate quicker, brake faster, handle better, jump better are lighter and stronger? Is that why you are mad or sad? You shouldn’t assume what trails I ride, because it makes you look like an ass. I happen to have a 29lb long travel enduro/freeride bike (180mm front and rear) as my main bike as well as a 32lb DH bike, both on modern suspension, 26” wide carbon wheels and modern components. Both bikes rip and BTW, I love monster trucking through steep rough rocky technical terrain at speed. If you can’t handle that go get a hug from your mom bro. It’ll be ok. 😂👍🏼

That old wheel never stood a chance with Peaty the Goliath.

@@santacruzbicycles2841 ^^

One person's retro is another's classic.

I was thinking that too

Gotta sell those 2021 models tho...

@@MrScart35 hahah!! :P
