Seems like all of us 80s and 90s kids love the same things. Awesome Stuff!

I love bikes and 4x4's, this is a good direction on the channel. I have rode hard trails for a long time. I got my first full sus bike a few years ago and haven't looked back, I have two full sus bikes now.

Before the Internet, a bicycle was the only way to go and explore the world or go to your friends house

Love to hear about the changes in your health! Got off my mountain bike years ago due to a lack of good local trails but riding on the road 8-10 hrs a week has done wonders for my physical and mental health, and just better overall lifestyle choices. Plus it's fun as hell going fast on a bike, even if I am 40 😅. Another vote for more bike content!

That intro is so relatable! "bikes, bikes, bikes, bikes, bikes" *gets license* "whats a bike?" I've done the opposite to you over the last few years, I bought a basic Roscoe in 2020 then got a used Specialized Camber full sus off a friend, the Roscoe was more fun to throw around downhill but the baloon tyres make it feel so slow everywhere else compared to the Specialized's narrower 29's

Hell Yeah Dave .... i'm 50 & got back into mountain bikes about 10 years ago .. i'm fitter , lighter , far more flexible & less back-ache as a result

As a Singlespeed Hardtail rider on a steel frame with near downhill geometry(Kona Honzo ESD) I approve this purchase. Most ppl are overbiked for the vast majority of trails they ride and skills they have.

42…also got back into bikes a couple yrs ago. Got a Santa Cruz full suspension mtb that I ❤ Stoked you like em too!

I do like seeing the Mountain Bike content. It gets me motivated to get back on my Trek. It has sat for way too long. And I do miss riding it, a lot. That gives me a challenge to meet and overcome.

Hell yeah! Pedal power! just went on a 30 mile ride yesterday

I'm an avid mountain biker. I loved the channel before. This will make me like it even more. Keep the bike stuff coming!

Love it! I'm 68 and still riding, although now it's on paved trails with my tadpole trike. No electric assist!

I got back into riding about 10 years ago and I got hooked. Sad part now is that you can never have enough bikes :) Keep up the riding!

Hey Dave, I came here for the fabrication but I love mountain biking so I appreciate the additional content. I’ve been into mountain biking seriously since ‘97 but I have dropped off over the past 10 years, just got busy. I have had a ton of different bikes but bought an Ibis Ripmo a few years back and I am loving it. I wasn’t sure if I would love a full carbon bike but it has been great. At 53 my back and body aren’t what they used to be so a full suspension is kind of a necessity to keep me riding often. Much love from the NorthEast for the dirt heads that ride bikes! Keep it up!

Awesome addition to your content. Alot of what you said is very similar to my riding/ offroading journey. Can't wait for more.

Great to see you having fun!! Those are sweets rides, and anything two wheel is always cool. You are an awesome rider!! Healthy is happy, way to go Dave!!!

Thanks for adding more crazy stuff, Dave. Have a great holiday weekend, brother.

Im also 45. Raced bmx from around 92 to 94 when I got my drivers license. I got into cars and stopped riding. Tried to ride bmx again in my 30s and that didn't work ha ha. Im looking at getting into a mountain bike but don't know what direction to go. Im definitely inspired to go look at buying something. Thanks for the content variety. Ill watch it all.

Dude. Hell yeah. So pumped to see you bringing this mix of hobbies to the channel. I love me some MTB and currently building a flatbed squarebody with a bike rack as a dedicated weekend fun rig.

I have been fighting audio issues myself. Gave me a chuckle. Congratulations on 100k!

I enjoyed the video. By the way, this most recent Road Kill Garage episode was excellent. I chuckle every time the day starts and you're there with your coffee cup. Good stuff!

Congratulations on the 100,000 subscribers! I haven't found any of your videos boring, you do a great job of mixing things up. Just keep doing what you're doing. ALWAYS GREAT CONTENT!

Man…. So grew up riding and racing motocross. Got my drivers license and my first 4x4(samurai) got out of moto for a bit while working 7 days a week as a heavy equipment mechanic. Got back into moto in my 30’s then had kids and got into mountain bike hardcore because it’s less time consuming. Built my own custom hardtail and full suspension bikes. Then got back into 4x4’s again. I swear if we weren’t on opposite sides of the country I’d say we were twins separated at birth.

Hey Dave, I'm so stoked to see you bring some more variety to the channel, I appreciate the skills and knowledge you share with the fabrication projects and dig the MTB content too! As somebody that's been wrenching in bike shops for 12 years it's great to see and feel your renewed enthusiasm for getting back on the bike.

Awesome video Dave. Most of my hobbies include dirt. Trail riding, RallyCross, mountain biking, and hiking. Thank you for sharing and congrats on 100k!

Love this new content addition and different twist on , "Dirthead." Mountain biking definitely fits, and I'll look forward to it continuing to be a part of the mix!

I've been considering getting a hard tail to get back into some riding at a mid lvl kinda deal. Love to see the content and its definitely sparking my interest as someone around the same age as you. Keep it up and glad to hear of the self improvement you've made!

Beacon Hill? Love that trail system. So much good riding in your area. Congrats on 100k subscribers!

Great to see the bike content, you’re a great rider! I’ve recently got back on my mountain bike and really enjoying it again.

Good to see you getting back into it. Been following your vehicle stuff for years but I love cycling too

Love this! Personally ride hardtail myself and absolutely love it and have a bike park super close to the house that I frequent! Keep up the excellent content and biking!

After listening to your intro music, it’s way more mountain bike truck actually. I like it. Thanks

good on ya dude🤟🤟 I got back on the deadly treadly after a long hiatus about a year ago, now I'm absolutely hooked again.

It's so funny to hear all your hobbies and past. Feel we could have been living parallel life's. Raced at River Side in Clackamas and indoor in Albany in the early 90's. Have fun on 2 wheels.

I am LOVING the mix with mountain bikes! I feel like I can relate to your channel even more now! Great content, keep up the great work! I'm glad to hear your getting healthier as well. Awesome video!

Love this addition to the channel! Hope you come to North Carolina sometime and we can have a group ride.

Dave you continue to inspire me to get back to work on my projects, and now I wanna knock the dust and spider webs off my old mountain bikes and get back out there on them.

Congrats on hitting 100k!!! You always have great content in your videos! Looking forward to seeing progress on Butter Jeep!!

It’s 10 at night and now I’m watching your MTB video. You’re in good company. Trucks and the bikes-I’m stoked for the new content.

Love the bike stuff too. I’m the same age and rode my bike everywhere until I got my license. At the start of covid I bought a very old version of my dream bike, a Specialized Roubaix. Lately I’ve been wanting a mountain bike, so good stuff.

Used to love to ride, now I just need a motor on it. It was good to see you on Roadkill Garage on David’s Jeep, hope they’re bringing you back into the fold Dave.

Super stoked on your return to mountain biking, and I dig the content. I'm two years older then you and last year I started back in with my Trek. I'm in Northern Idaho so your pacific Northwest views look very familiar to me. Congratulation on your new Isuzu project, I look forward to seeing it's rejuvenation. I feel like they are under represented, Isuzu really made some durable and capable vehicles (as a fan boy you of course are well aware of that). I have a Scout 2 on '77 chevy 3/4 ton axles, 203/205 doubler transfer cases, and a healthy 383 SBC. Rock on Dave!

Dave- good on you for getting back into riding and enjoying the thrill of it. I bought a new Scott full suspension 29er a few years ago to get back into mountain biking, as I used to race for quite a few years, but then lost interest. The new technology is incredible and makes riding so much more fun. I converted both my old 26" hardtail & other full suspension to 1x drivetrain and really enjoy riding both of those as well. The hardtail is a blast at the local bike park as it is so much lighter than the FS and just quicker to throw around in the berms and quick hits. Enjoy the trails, and keep up the hustle! Looking forward to watching the next videos, as I'm a bit behind.... lol

4x4, dirtbikes, Jeeps, big trucks. All stuff I love. We rode bikes like crazy in my original neighborhood south of downtown Cincinnati. I still love them, even in the boonies if Southesst Indiana, your channel has all stuff I like. Great work

Cant wait to see your first bike build! Keep the bike vids coming!!

Love the added content.....nice to hear about bike stuff from a "normal" non-expert type person vs. a pro.

Awesome Dave👍👍👍👍👍! Looks like you are an excellent rider. Just be cautious. As we get older, it's harder to recover if accident happens.

You basically described the same experience I had. I'm happy to see I'm not the only one. Grew up on beater bikes. Literally rode the wheels off them. When I was about 14 finally scored a nice bike, then turned 16 and life was all about C10s and small block chevy mods. In my 40s now and back into bikes after 3 knee surgeries. I like the hardtails too. Great to see the bike content from a like minded person.

Awesome Dave, I've been cycling a lot since my teens. I built a super high end MTB 20 years ago but barely took it off road and mostly stuck to road bikes. About 5 years ago I built a fat bike and that's been so amazingly fun. I wouldn't have believed it from looking at it but the traction and stability are so confidence inspiring and being fully rigid I think helps with the technique. I've also found that since getting the fat bike my skill and confidence on the motorbikes has increased by a huge margin, I never had a motorbike growing up and have very little off-road experience so now am planning on getting a 300 cc dual sport

Dave, Great to see you doing MTB content! I'm with you on hardtail bikes. I grew up with my legs as suspension and full-suspension bikes feel unresponsive to me... I'm about 10 years older and 10 years deeper into the mountain-bike rabbit hole... I've found the 29er wheels roll over rocks and stumps better than the rest... and finding a 29er frame with a short chain stays makes the bike nimble like a smaller bike. As a gearhead... my current bike is all parts I picked and put together. I suspect you'll end up the same way if you stay on the trails. Ready for more MTB vids! 🤘 Be safe!

Love it! 49 here, grew up riding when mtbs were all blinged out with cnc anodized goodies and suspension was still new. Bikes have come a long way for sure - dropper posts, disc brakes, 1x drivetrain, tubeless tires, wide bars with slacker geo. So much fun and a great way to burn off the beers. Love the variety of content, congats on 100k!

Congratulations on hitting100k! I’m a few years older than you but i remember riding bikes everywhere before we got drivers licenses. We were a lot healthier then for sure

Cool Dave. I road bikes a lot when I was growing up. But that was in the 60's. No mountain bikes back then. But with less traffic you could ride your bike to the store without getting ran over. I'd like to get back into some biking, but I getting on in years. I do watch the Berm Peak guy a lot, he has interesting videos. I still like bikes, but....

Really nice Roscoe! It’s awesome you’re back into mountain biking. It’s so fun. One of the only forms of exercise I’ve found that I could do for hours and don’t want to stop.

I’m in the same boat , I had a full suspension bike and did not care for it , Sold it so I got a hard tail and it’s been a month of morning rides at 6am my dog and I love it . Amazing channel and content , keep these bike uploads coming . Cheers 🇨🇦

Wow, worlds collide. Great to see you healthy and happy out on you bikes. Rock on brutha.

Awesome Dave! Great to add bikes! Keep it up man! 🤜🤛🚴‍♂️

I don't mind seeing bikes on your channel at all! I also got back into mountain biking in the past couple years after a long time away. Variety keeps things interesting.

I still have my BMX bike from 1984. I drag it out every now and then. Love the bike content!

Wanted to love this bike so much. Saved for while, sold another bike, went and got a brand new Trek Roscoe 8 , already cracked the frame by the stem first week. Didnt got hard on it yet. Returned, shopping again.

Born in 78 and I always wanted to be the King of Dirt. The movie RAD is still my favorite. I own it on VHS. I always owned Redlines and still have a 24 inch cruiser

BMX back in 1999+ changed my life Dave, I’ve been wanting to get into mtn bikes too but I can’t justify the funds when I’d rather spend on my cars🙃

Congratulations on 100K subscribers! You'll have to show us your plaque from KZfaq when you get it. Your camera work is good. You have come a long way with it and your camera style suits you and your channel in my opinion.

Berm Peak is a great MTB channel. Cool dude. I just got back on my Specialized Rockhopper Hardtail 29". $800.00 I think it was. Not too bad.

The bike that's right for you is never a downgrade...

Dude! Im 44, the mountains were calling me, bought a place in Colorado and bike that cost wayyyy too much money. Having the time of my life 😁 I watch Seth, Alex, Bobo, Brian, Sam, and all the regulars religiously too.

I got a Roscoe 8 last May (2023, so I paid more than you 😂)to replace my 1996 Nishiki Rigid. Needless to say, HUGE upgrade. I may have been sucked in by specs (4 piston calipers? Yes please! ) I’ve not gotten to ride as much as I’d like, plus I don’t have quite the biking background you do (and I’m 12 years older) so it’s definitely overkill, but I do dig it! I just can’t ride like you. I don’t wanna break a hip! Just lose some weight and gain some lung capacity. Great content. Keep it up. I’m gonna watch the painting a bike video next. Seems like a great opportunity for the Nishiki!

I’m all for bike content! Looking forward to more

38.. also got back into bikes this year. Love this content.

Throw all the two wheel action you want Dave! Love it all and it keeps things fresh.

Upgrades for the haro, if you can get a rear coil shock or a shock with a external res. *if the frame has clearance. Another upgrade would be a better fork with larger stations. You may also be able to upgrade the fork internals with the new damper and get more control over the fork settings. Have been following your channel ever since the beginning and love all thing cars, Jeeps, low riders and mountain bikes. Love the new content and keep up the old content.

I can relate 100%. When my kid started riding a bike, I built a 24” Haro BMX to go with her. 45 I built another 24” BMX with tuff wheels. If it were 1986, I would be THE coolest! Lol😅

Bike geometry has changed a lot in the last few years. It has changed for the better

Love those Billy Goat mega Gear for climbing .. nice !!! .. LOL you know your getting older as a rider when just looking at a hardtail makes my knees ache .. lol

I've been riding a 2003 haro hardtail that I bought new. Love the feel of a hardtail, but could probably use some upgrades. Being over 20 years old it fits in well with my 20+ year old junk jeep and truck. You're motivating me to get it out and ride. Keep up the videos Dave!

I love the channels OldShovel and Berm Peak. I have a 90’s Klein and grew up on a Marin. Should definitely get into a 90’s bike!

This is awesome man, another mid 40's here from Oz, been into MTB for majority of my years. Keep up the great content👍👍

I've got a Roscoe 8. Awesome bike! Ride it much more than my full suspension. Love the bike content.

We appreciate you Dave!!!

I honestly think the dropper post is the biggest game changer from when we were kids. Having lower and slacker geometry makes it feel a lot more stable and not so top-heavy. I was going to do a hardtail also, but the terrain in Phoenix is so rocky that it wasn't enjoyable. Bring your bike out to Phoenix and I'll show you some fun stuff!

Enjoyed the video, I didn't start riding until I was in my late 50's mostly road bikes but few years back started mountain biking so I could ride with my grandkids.the only problem is when I get on my bike I still think I'm in my twenties and at 68 it really smarts when I hit there ground.There are some good trails up at Priest lake. Enjoy

Hell yeah. Been out of the bike scene since I basically got a job. Kids are old enough to bike and now I’m getting back into it. Also picked up a hardtail and so far loving it.

Congrats on 100k subs Dave!

Keep the Bike stuff coming.. I started down the same path last year....bikes everything..... I put 400 plus miles last year and I plan to do the same this year....btw .. I'm 55 and it's never too late .. keep it up

My 29er hardtail has been sitting in the shed for 4 years. I think I need to clean it up and get some miles in. Thanks for the motivation.

Staying up till 10:45pm watching bike videos! Like me watching 4x4 and welding videos? It does feel like MTBing and wheeling are the same things just different motors.

Great timing on this video. I just discovered the ozark trail ridge and want to get into it and I hear that's a great option to start that's easily upgradable. Really looking forward to the bike content!

Yo! I’m here for the MTB content. Grew up on bike, loved cars since birth, grew up watching y’all, and after getting my first car I stopped riding bikes, but now 25 I’m back into bikes too! Also picked up a Roscoe 8 last week. After a bunch of research I could not find a better deal on a hardtail in the 1200-1800 range that had what I needed/wanted. Had a GT Aggressor that I rode into the ground in 1 year. Lol

My two favorite things are bikes and 4x4s. There’s awesome biking and wheeling out in Montana. Ride hard Dave!

Interesting addition to the channel. I’ve kinda considered the roscoe myself though still riding and modifying my ‘96 Kona Ti hard tail. Almost have my wife convinced to “let me” get a new one. You’re probably better off selling your haro as-is or keeping it as a spare for friends to ride.

I love my full suspension bike but I rented a Roscoe 8 for a day when I was travelling and was super impressed with it. It was kind of nice to just concentrate on my riding as well, rather than (over)thinking about setup!

This is why we should be BFF😂 love mtb and Bmx, been riding since I can remember, I just picked up a Santa Cruz Bronson, and I’m in love

Love it man, I’m the same grew up ridding Bmx, moved to Bend and got into mountain bikes, also have a hard tail I’ve taking it to mt bachelor a few times I’ll go up and down anything a full suspension bike will I’m just more comfortable on a hard tail. Love your vids

So great to see a few offroad KZfaqrs getting back into riding bikes! As you said, they've come such a long ways since we were kids messing around on 20in single speeds. Also fun to see the trail system I ride often. I'm surprised to see you hitting all that rocky gnar on your hardtail! This really makes me want to get a Roscoe...I just got a brand new Slash, and it's so damn good, but something about reconnecting with the trail on a hardtail is really appealing right now...well, you get it. I would highly recommend getting a chest mount for future riding videos, with superview and hyper stabilization enabled on the GoPro. Really makes for an immersive experience. Also, there's a group of rowdy but chill riders who ride those trails every Wednesday evening, so if you're interested in sharing the stoke, look up Mountain Junkie Wednesdays!

43 now, did a lot of mountian biking in my tweens and teens then got back into a couple years ago. I got a Roscoe 9 about a year ago and really like it, im looking forward to more bike content.

Love it Dave. Come wheel in Montana. I'll show you some sweet hardtail riding!

Hardtail gang! It's crazy how much better bikes have gotten since I started riding in high school in the 90s. But I think folks underrate the advances in trailbuidling too. Up here in BC it's hard to be more than an hour away from an awesome trail system these days.

This is rad! 48, been a rider all my life and bikes are my profession. Got a bunch of nice bikes and was 100% seriously thinking about a sub 2k complete last night. Just to see what a new rider would be coming into. Ride it as is for 100mi. Then limit changes to grips and seat for the rest of the season. Cover more of the healthy stuff! Cars have always been fun for me too, I think we can agree the car community needs more inspiration to take care of ourselves better. Bikes are great for this so we can get our mechanical fix too!! Enjoy the new bike and new(old) habits!

One of the most real guys on you tube right here !!!

Sounds like we are going through the same thing. I am doing it to improve my health and drop a few lbs. Just picked up the Giant Trance X and can't stop watching the MTB videos! Enjoy yourself. 😂 👍🏼
