what bars of those? I have Ritchey Kyote bars, but would like something with a little less backsweep

Next summer try Circuits Frontières in East Hereford Quebec beautiful little town near the border of New Hampshire and Vermont and it's not that far from Kingdom Trail

Ma dude, thank you for this *detsiled* review of the blackthorn...a shop is building my cassidy right now and I should be able to pick it up this week. Not a ton of in depth reviews out there since the salsa brand isn't a huge share of the mtb market....again, big thanks man

I'm a simple guy, I open youtube, I see a new Roots Rocks Raffi video, I watch it.

That’s a fun section!! 😂

Dance like nobody is looking!

Good stuff, Happy New Year!

5:35 where is this little drop thing? do you know the trail name?

I never knew there was trails there!

This deserves a more likes 👍

You never cease to amaze me!!

Doesnt the Cassidy have more travel? Not sure why you'd shorten the travel. Great video on this though.

I want to correct your statement of why bridges were covered. Back when the roads were used by horse drawn carriages and sleighs in the winter the snow was not plowed. In winter the carriage was swapped out for sleighs so the snow on the road was rolled to pack it down. Snow would melt off the bridges and the sled runners would drag over the bridge boards. To solve this roofs were added to keep the snow from melting.

Hey dude, video is sick and super helpful. I just noticed you put a different shock back on. Is this because of preference or do you have to get a shock that matches the travel of the new linkage? thinking of swapping to a cassidy from my blackthorn and want to know if i can just use the same shock.

where is the jump on this trail

Wow!

Unfortunately, you may have to wait until spring 2025 to go in, because of the drout's fire damage.

This was really fun when I rode it !

yaaaaow

I think the speed is good, you just need to pull up a bit more

nice barn drop love thunder...nice ride

Good review 😅😅 how that view not a meme lol

That Trail looks sick

You could go a little faster than turtle speed.

That looks so fun :D

That was the softest fall ive seen😂

YOUR SKIN IS LITERALLY GLOWING MORE THAN MY DAD'S BALD HEAD

I’ve been looking at the Ripmo for a couple years and recently came across the Salsa Blackthorn. It is sooo much cheaper than the Ripmo. Wondering what your recommendation since you have ridden both?

Awesome video!

Beautiful

Looks amazing. Have wanted to get there for some time!

I got lost there too--just rode for first time today. Saw some videos where local guides showed them around and they uncovered a ton of stuff I didn't find today. Will be back there at some point. Awesome video, btw!

sick dude def wanna hit this

Kikaw

what psi do you run?

Serious question. What's an undertow on a trail?

Vietnam!

Hola, yo he comprado este mismo que tu, pero no se por donde meterle mano. 😅 esta claro que cada persona es un mundo, pero mi preferencia es que los pequeños baches y piedras del camino las absorva sin que yo me de cuenta. Peso 83 kilos sin equipación, el fabricante me recomendo 215 psi en la bejiga... y veo tu video y has puesto 170 psi, entonces mi ptregunta es; Que diferencia hay entre los 170 o los 215 ? En que afecta esta bejiga en la conducción, en altas? En bajas ? Gracias, buen aporte! Y buen like!

Where is this? Looks awesome.

GO MIKEY GOOOO

I'm getting you a swear jar Raffi 😊😂.

tidal wave?? geometry dash reference

Too bad you had such awful weather.

I watched your cassidy and blacktorn videos as I just bought the Cassidy as it was too hard to pass up the deal at $2199. I also have a ripmo af with jade x coil. I have a couple rides on the cassidy and it pedals really well for that much travel. The ripmo af is so far my favorite bike for the front range of colorado where I live. It can handle xc type stuff to flow and black diamonds. The cassidy is a monster through black diamond stuff more so than the ripmo. Heading to Trestle this week with the Cassidy which is why I bought it for bike park duty.

Yep, this is pretty much what the majority of New England trails look like:rocks

😂😂 that might be tough for them beer bellied boomers 😂😂

What trail is this

Back on your bike!!!❤

Very nice! I ride some different rail trails here in NH. Not bike-packing though.... just 20-30 mile stretches... a ride of a couple hours is all I'm really looking for, and rail trails are a nice change from my normal hilly up/down gravel routes near where I live. A great way to get some exercise, see wonderful nature and go too fast for the bugs!

Did you post the review in Cassidy? I appreciate the comment on the flip chip I may put in high position and see how I like it. I have a Cassidy
