Riding a bike is living, and we’re all dying to live. I’m lucky enough to enjoy riding my bike in The Forest of Dean, England, or ‘little Squamish’ as I like to call it. I wish to share my passion for the sport of mountain biking, nothing more, nothing less.

Now you know why my Evil 120mm was so much fun to ride. Looking forward to some analogue rides soon. Roll on decent weather 👊
Forgot to message you bro 😅 Got a comment outta of you though 🤙😂 Ready to shred when you are 🫡
May I please have one
😂 Sure, let me know size and address 😂 👍
My mate uses his 5010 as his jib bike. Laps GBU on it without much issue. Handled Hatton's hip very well.
Don’t doubt it buddy, thinking this bike would handle full moto at dirt farm… maybe… on a dry day windless day… watch this space (channel) 😅 Thanks for the comment 👊
Nice bike bro
So nice 👌 Thanks for the comment buddy 👍
Nice video mate! I'm building up a tallboy V5 coming from a Hightower V2. I ride dirt jumps and bike parks and personally I do not like bikes above 140mm travel. I've test ridden a tallboy 4 times and it's my favourite bike ever!
Thanks for the comment buddy 👍 I’ve never had a 140mm travel trail bike so interested to see what this can take vs an enduro/dh bike 🤷♂️ The tallboy your building sounds very fun 👌
Fairplay that bike looks playful 😊 Just what you wanted mate 👌 Great vid, love the outtakes along with the wins 🤟 You have those crankflips nailed 😮👊
Thanks for making an appearance in the video 👍 Live for jibs bro 👊 😅
@ForestMountainBiker My pleasure man, catch ya again soon 👊
Everything is Therme broken 😭😭😭
Hot comment 😂 Thanks
@ i mean there sry its autocorrecton : )
ah, makes more sense 👍
I can't even wheelie an MTB let alone manual one 😆😆😆
It’s hard and takes so much practice 👍 Thanks for the comment 👍👍
Was great fun man 👊 The SloMo at the end is epic 😊
You are the fakie master 🫡
@@ForestMountainBiker😊👌
Hi riders he's a manual master 🤘🤙😎,I know someone he's name is wheelie 🤙🤘
Wheelie good comment 👊👍 Thanks
How do you get to this gap
Go to google maps and type in ‘bixslade’, it’s very close to there 👍
hi hi FMB. Any tips / opinions on a Hardline '25 weekend plan? Just grabbed race day ticket and looking for a Saturday riding spot. whadya think - Caersws vs. Revs and are either OK for push up riding?
Best weekend ever 👊 Revs definitely better for pushing 👌 Will they have the river gap this year… 🤷♂️🫣
Was good but not fully 180. Didnt quite land on that rear to well either. 👌🤔
Practice makes perfect 👌 Thanks for the comment 👍
Awesome work man 👌 It's so true about the regular riding and small gains, it starts to really come together to form what feels like a big gain 😊
Thanks as always for the comment buddy 👊 I enjoy riding so much the small gains mean as much as the big gains 🫡
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yo 👊
"Can't be bothered to push back up" epic 😅👌
Love my DH bike but don’t love the pushing 🤫😂
Promising review! Unfortunately it's been a headache for me to set up a good ride. Anything but plush. Pulling the lowers tomorrow and checking for amount of oil. Had no luck with my 36 and picked up a new Lyrik Ultimate 3.1 a few weeks ago. I'm about your weight (190lbs)at 82 PSI and 15 out on rebound to get an ok ride, but way too much rebound in my opinion. Trail head calls out 86psi -9. My compression is a few clicks away from fully open and it seems stiff when in the middle especially riding the chunk(well done btw). Do you mind sharing your rebound and PSI? I have no tokens as well. Thanks
It took me a lot of fettling to get it feeling right, I compromised on plushness as well, no tokens/90psi/10 clicks rebound/lots of high speed and low speed compression. I would say it’s not the most plush fork but has a bottomless middle stroke which is what I really like 👍
@@ForestMountainBiker Thanks much, very helpful but I weigh a few more pounds then you and I can't see having 90 psi in mine. Just did a morning tune, currently at 81 psi and still 15 out on rebound. I'm at about 25% sag. I have to have 14/15 out on rebound or else it rides horrible. The super fast rebound is what concerns me with me being 190 lbs. I'm just about ready to send it in for service based on a few things. I'll try your settings, but can't imagine using that much compression. Any advice on when to throw in the towel and send a fork with 5 hours on it in for service? Bushings tight? low on oil? Thanks again for your time!
Fair buddy, some forks you just don't get on with. Sounds like a fox with a grip 2 damper may suit you better 🤷♂️ 👍
Mate that's epic, 😊it's so different on bigger bikes, you totally know what I mean on that one.
Yeah buddy, totally get you, smaller wheels and less weight would be easier 👍
heres why! *manuals in silence* me: of course!!!
Yo 👍 I envy your channel name 👌🫡
I don’t have a dh bike but i hava a Scott Voltage Fr 720 2017 so i hava a freeride bike
Awesome bike, you’ll get away with a lot on that 👌 Thanks for the comment 👍
hey man, man i met you at dirt farm wales you where on your dh bike i crashed on moto and you helped me get back to the bottom thank you very much. i ended up getting stiches at the hospital down the road and had broke my elbow
Hey buddy, I remember! Ouch, broken an elbow myself, not fun! Hope you’re getting better now, thanks for watching, hope to see you back on your bike at Dirt Farm when you’re ready 👊🫡
@@ForestMountainBiker ive just got back on my bike recently and am going back to dirt farm for a week in the summer 🙏
sir, I am having a deep enthusiastic thought in buying Specilized Big Hit III '011 model # Medium framed geometry (used and is for sale in Kathmandu city at here). Is it worth in 2025? That man is asking 1100 bucks. Should i buy that or not? Hoping a soon suggestion from you. And yes subscribed. |Thanks
Thanks for the comment 👍 Specialised big hits are good bikes, I don’t know how well priced it is but for a starter DH bike you won’t go wrong with a big hit 👍👍
@@ForestMountainBiker got here. Thanks again sir. Will do.
Thanks for this! I'm talking mysef into adding a DH to my range, in addition to my Ibis Ripley trail bike, exactly for that reason of wear and stability. Looking at YT Tues mainly. It's 27,5" but I'm guessing it will still be good in the rooty rocky stuff, what do you think? I'm 192 cm and based in Sweden
Thanks for the comment buddy 👍 Yeah a YT Tues with that much travel will be plush riding whether 27.5 or bigger 👌 Have fun if you go for it 🫡
I really need to stop living a MTB life vicariously through your videos! 😜 I watch in awe of your skills and sheer kahunas! 😂. That said, I am off to do my first "Intro to Jumping" session this weekend. Hopefully the saying of Never Too Old to Teach a Dog New Tricks prevails for me 🤞🤞. Am travelling overseas in 9 days time so I had better make sure I get through it without too much injury 🤘🤞🤞🙏
Yeah buddy, stoked you’re getting out riding, take it chill when learning and to have the best chance to be good for your trip overseas. Better a small amount of progression over a long period always my approach 👍 Always great to hear from the OG sub 👊👊
As you say, its a great bike for the massive hits and the unknown 👌 Joe didn't squash a thing and just sent the lot! It got him through.
‘It’s a great bike for the unknown’ 👌 Perfect summary 👌 Great comment 🫡
I chopped my enduro if for a v10... absolutely no regrets 😅
You know 👊 Thanks for the comment 👍
Dyfi deffo better on a DH rig.
Amen brother 🙏
She's a keeper. Now that's set, what are you going to buy next? 😊
Great question buddy, always looking… 👀 Any suggestions? 🤷♂️ Thanks for the comment 👍
@@ForestMountainBiker well I've not seen you on Dirt jumper yet 🧐Thanks for the content :)
Redbull is observing quietly 😅
Lol, love that comment 👍🤣
lol come on now, it's a wheelie! lol.
@ lol, it’s ‘wheelie’ fun 😂
Do you have any problems with Canyone Torque ON (ebike) low BB? I read some reviews that BB is very low and its annoying. Do you had any problem with it ? Do you hit bash plate protecting motor often?
Good question, yes it is low, yes I’ve had a few pedal strikes and caught the base plate a few times BUT it’s not all bad, this bike hugs berms like glue and is so stable at speed… Bit of a trade off I guess 🤷♂️ Hope this helps 👍
@@ForestMountainBiker do you know if you have 165mm or 160mm cranks ?
@ 165mm buddy 👍 Tempted to go shorter for sure 👌
@ ok so that sounds like 160mm would solve the problem am i right?
@ It would help for sure 👌 I will at some point switch to that myself 👍
When I was a kid, we always reached out with our foot or pulled the front brake to stop the front wheel from spinning. No idea why we did it, it just was the cool thing to do 30 odd years ago.
Nice, seen that before, as long as you’re having fun on your bike yo 👍👊
Great video, thanks. Good advice and well presented. 👍😎
Thanks for the comment 👍 Hope you have fun on your bike 👍👍
That's mint 👌
Thanks, Joe was filming so have to credit him for getting a really good tracking shot 👍
@@ForestMountainBiker Everyone needs a Joe

Thank you, appreciate the comment 👍

There was a definite BMX vibe to that stump clear 😊👌

Did you have to change the chainring or did u keep the stock one?
Had to change to the sram t-type specific chain ring (for shimano ep8 cranks/motor) 👍
