Alex was brilliant talking down the trail. Good personality for doing content.

"It feels so much better on this......not sure if my lines are any better"... too funny!!

Really enjoyed this, Alex did a cracking job. Was good to hear different perspectives. I was lucky enough to own a V10 when living in Switzerland, it’s an absolute dream of a rig. Keep up the good work Lewis, great content as always.

What a unique, fantastic video. Kudos to Alex and Lewis for making it happen👍👍 @ Alex - great riding fella 👊

That’s an amazing ride by Alex 🎉 So calm in the limelight. Being ‘watched’ by an expert takes guts, whatever the task 💪💪💪

Great Job Alex! Good on you for stepping up to those jumps!

I love his experience and how he road its almost like he gotten better but still such an amazing guy and kudos for letting him ride that monster of a bike i think he loved it and it was soo much fun watching the video keep it up lewis😊

Yeah Alex. Proper ripping mate. So stoked for you. A bike like that is beyond my budget (single dad with 2 ungrateful crumb snatchers) but I lived through your stoke @ fort William. Plus you’re a way better rider than I. Cheers guys. Great video.

brilliant video mate, loved the way Alex really talked about every pro and con to investing in a bigger travel bike. Great job!

Alex was great. Well done to both of you for the video.

I would love to see him again on this track with the Santa Cruz V10. He looked lik an above average rider to me and i gues he enjoyed the experiance, Moreover i could see the details of the trail which is so interesting. if pros are crushing this trail it looks like a flowtrail. Here i could see a lot of details. If there is a posssibility that you could ride with him some more and coach him to get even more comfortable on this bike it would be a pleasure to watch him shred even harder. :)

Great vid! Alec is a natural with a camera! Much better than a lot of popular “KZfaqrs” I’ve ridden that track twice… there’s no way I’d be able to talk for hanging on, let alone give such a calm running commentary

U have to get up to Windrock Tennessee and ride the bike park!!! Get ahold of Aaron Gwin and make arrangements. He regularly ride the shuttle with all us normal folks. Super cool humble guy. Hope to see you up there to ride the steepest trails in the U.S 😉

That was proper cool. Alex rode that really well. I'm super jealous!

Sub contracting out your vids, nice 😁 Going up in travel and then back down helps give so much confidence. I’ve found the same and smash so much more on my hardtail than I thought I’d ever attempt.

This was cool! And Alex is also a Nice Dude. Realy liked this Video!

Great content Lewis Alex is a natural on the commentating well done Alex take care and all the best .

Fun video with new perspective! See you next time!

Alex what a lad. You should have your own channel, you got talent and are a good talker. Second run was dope.

Great job by Alex! Yes... potentially a very expensive video. Honestly, one of the best V10 review videos I've seen.

Rode with Alec a year or so ago at Ae, top bloke and fast AF 🤙

More content with Alex please...I loved this.

Sick seeing you guys there. Was to shy to come and say hi tho 😂😅

Great job Alex what a brilliant idea Lewis getting to hear from a not so amateur but not a pro was so good it was brilliant

nice video, nice riding Alex :)

He was good and it’s showing how the dh bike can push ur capacity on the track

I've also heard from significantly lighter riders that my brakes don't have much bite. But that's because I run massive rotors and finned sintered pads that don't even reach operating temperature under a lightweight rider. So the comparison is only fair if you run the same pads and rotors as well. At nearly 90kg with riding gear I have nowhere near the skills to not cook organic pads on a proper DH track.

That is interesting. I've never tried the DH bike (but my thoughts are that I should try this). And after that video the desire to try DH bike will be big this year.

That was sofa king legit!! an "amateur" yea dude you are a lot better than an amateur! sick skills!

What a guy!

I could only dream of riding a twelve thousand pound bike. Awesome video ⛳

This is sick! Greatest feeling in the world is ripping on a DH bike. Cheers boys.

How does a brummie go about being muckers with Innerleithens finest.... Cracking video an Big up the both of you......up the villa 👏🍻🤙

are you running proto enve rims?

built my own v10 with a boxer this weekend because of you and it is literally the best bike I ever rode it's unbelievable

Nothing like the feeling of monster trucking on a DH bike. Alex mentioned the brakes felt less bitey than his, even though you're both running the same Hayes. Different pad compound ? Need a bleed?

Nah, the coil shock is just OP - it always feels great from the start, as it doesn't have so much friction :) lots of my friends tried out my bike being 20-30kg less in weight, and everybody said the shock felt great even though I run 30% sag for my weight.

I misread the title and I thought you were giving the bike to him to keep 😅😂

What airpressure do you ride in youre tires on the v10

I am sick of people claiming, - its all about the rider not the bike. - 8k bike is stupid, not trally a difference to 1k bike - you can have fun with any bike, no one needs the expensive stuff. - i am as fast as my friends with their expensive bikes. I dont want to bash people or kids who cant aford a proper bike, and its a good mindset to be happy about the bike you have. But as someone who did the trasition from a 1.5k trailbike, to 6k enduro. i expected a noticable improvement. But i was blown away how much better its was. Like its a different sport. my skill, condifence and capability just skyrocked. People who buy bikes as expensive as some car are not stupid, the bikes are worth it. ( not talking about corona inflated prices)

I am not sure but don't you increase presure when you are sitting on the bike? Shouldn't you do the fork adujstment without load? Other wise nice vid

That was myself at the start of Top Chief asking if any tools were needed … got glared at like I shat in someone’s corn flakes 😢

Great video lads. Think we just found a new content creator?

what bike would you recommend for someone looking to upgrade with a low budget * I’m looking for more travel like a downed duro

hey there, I was just wondering what settings you use for your camera as I recently got one and want to get the most out of it. and I was also wondering what software use to edit your videos? Thanks

I have a question. Im waiting for my v10 since 3 months now... Do you recommend to wait for it?

I think he liked it 😄😄

Good job... and only one small observation... a 130/160 bike is really a trail bike, rather than an Enduro bike ! 😊

Lewis, have ride the Forbidden Druid to follow him? It's was 3 years ago I guess you ride a Druid. I remember you do the same trail on this video with the Druid. The same year I think you try the Forbidden Dreadnought when it's was a prototype.

I would rather let someone borrow my Girlfriend than my bike…..no way I’d let anyone touch it let alone take away unsupervised 😮

What body armour is he wearing? Great info about how it feels for him compared to his enduro

Riding a 160mm 130mm rear small man even a bigger megatower 180 165mm would be such upgrade

Thanks Alex and thanks Lewis 🤙

Very interesting to see what a non pro riders’ opinion of riding your bike is. Alex dude you rip! I’d have shat me self in case I crashed it 😂 Future edit- Alex on the V10 following Lew on his new enduro 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌍

130mm enduro bike? My Rocky Mountain Instinct trail bike has 140 mm.

living in Canada seems to be going well!

What do you do with all your old bikes when you get a new one

Only rode a DH bike once, and it was literally the most fun I ever had on a bike…..

Where is this bike park?

Druid v2 is an incredible bike. But it’s not a downhill bike

Great rider, cannot afford one i wish, so i d.i.y build mine.

Crazy how quiet it is

Ripping the trail....decent

That's a good west midlands accent I'm originally from Walsall lol

Tyre inserts..?

12k in this economy ? I could buy a car with that.

nice

12k is fucking ridiculous, they want people to get into biking and make it their life long hobby but how can people afford to buy good bikes that will last them.

Hi lewis i hope u can read my message i actually dreaming about buying a fullsuspension mountain bike but i don't have enough money to buy it i'm still 17 years old and my family to can't afford it too im turning 18 in june 2 this would be a great birthday gift for me i'm from the Philippines i'm a 5year subscriber

The caption is borrowed

this is such clickbait

You let him borrow your 12k bike and he made a video with more content than you could ever make charisma was heavy

that is a stupidly expensive bike

Capppppp
