    It’s been over 3 months since I last published a video on UA-cam. Glad to be back. I’ve been busy with work and kids being out of school this summer. Excited to start uploading videos again… look for new videos every 2 weeks🤘. Thanks for watching!!

    Great advice on Firebird sizing. I’m typically a large and I’ve been shopping for a Firebird, my local Pivot dealer said “trust us, you’ll want the medium”.

    I demo'd a medium Firebird. At 6'1, I'd get the medium. I rode a large Switchblade the same day. Enduro racers seem to favor smaller bikes as well.

  • @offdaystv

    Do you think having a coil could be the reason for so many flats? Since it’s more planted it might hit rocks a little harder?

  • @juanhidalgo7043

    I looked at pivot bikes but no for me! No threaded bottom bracket.

    The couple you passed at about 30m20s is my wife’s aunt and uncle. Was surprised to see them pop up on your video.

    How does it pedal/climb compared to the ripmo?

    How's the weight compared to your ripmo?

    @MTB yumyum - I am a one bike for everything guy from enduro racing to weekly trail rides and thinking about replacing my Ripmo V1 for something with a little more downhill capability. I’m highly considering the Ripmo V2 but this firebird is tempting me. Would you recommend this as a ripmo replacement? Thanks!

    Talking the whole way up Puke Hill is probably the most impressive thing I’ve seen in all your videos hahaha. I need every gulp of air going up that beast.

    Bought my Firebird back in May from the guys over at Go Ride - they were super cool. Also downsized as well... I'm 6'3" and always ride XL bikes but after test riding a bunch of bikes found the size L Firebird actually fit me well... basically fit like an XL Ripmo or Switchblade but in a more capable (i.e. bigger/slacker) bike. Also running the DHFs front and back - rolls really well and gets tons of traction (and no flats yet). Super stoked on the Firebird - really an all-around, awesome bike!

    Glad you’re back!!! I just bought a Pivot trail 429. Can’t wait to take it out to Colorado!!!

    That first section was Scott's Bypass, fun connector to get to Puke Hill! I've done Pinecone Ridge a few times, but never the crest, it's on my to-do list!

    The spine always looks so much more mellow on go pro. Glad to see you upload!
