Love your vids brother, one of the most humble and down to earth UA-camrs- keeps me coming back! Realistic biking that I think more people can relate to, rather than flashy professionals all the time. Keep em’ coming and keep keeping it real brother!
Also, don't sell yourself short on coaching, you'd be a phenomenal coach! And I think the Red Sox could probably use you right now, jeez...
Matty, I'm 73 and just returned to riding after many years off. You are an inspiration to me, I follow all your utube videos and although I don't have the quality of trails in my area (central Florida) I'd like, one day, to get out West to experience some of the trails you showcase. I have a 2022 Roscoe 8 and your helping me to love it. Keep wheelin"
Keep the vids coming. Great stuff. Your commentary is what I sound like in my head. lol.
That trail looks so fun and flowey. Wish we had more trails in Louisiana
Brother, I'm scared to death of little 1 to 2 foot drops lol. I had a great ride today with my wife 10 mile total ride. STEEP! but coming down it was a blast. Thanks for the video!
Some of your best work. The polygon is such an awesome machine I'm glad to see you hitting the trail with it. Giving the fans what they want
You are by far my favorite mtb youtuber, im looking you get a d6 soon, keep it up :)
Thank you!!
Killing it on the Polygon! I recently picked up the Siskiu T7 and I'm absolutely loving it! You aren't kidding when you say it's quiet! The only things I hear when I'm riding are the tires rolling on the ground and the air moving through the shocks. The soft thuds of tires plowing through roots is one of my favorite sounds.
Frisco is dope! Thanks for making videos about this bike I ordered one on Black Friday and there’s not many videos of this bike except yours! I’m from Colorado too I hope to see you an some trails hahaha that would be cool.
Sky Pilot was ffun. We came across it when our group was checking out the trails out there.
Love meeting new people on the trail
I live out in Colorado, and 14 year old racing mountain biker. Love your videos!!!
Looks like an awesome place to ride. Keep up the positive vibe man, it helps motivate the rest of us!
2nd video in. Subscribed. Please keep them coming!
Thank you!
Love the jumping at the end.
These are the reviews I like to see, someone just getting out there and having a good honest blast on the trails, even on an entry level dual suspension mountain bike, for the average Joe that's often all you need. Your videos are the proof . Many people are reviewing these Polygon Bikes only to pick on the wheels, or complaining about the fork or saying what needs upgrading straight from the box ? If that's the case these tightasses ! Need to spend a little more on the higher spec models. Bang for your buck, there's not many companies that that compete with what you get with a polygon. I have just purchased a 2023 Polygon X-trada 24" for my little boy in Australia for $999.00 as I COULD NOT find one other brand name bike locally under the $1500.00 price point sporting a proper "air" fork- tapered, kids specific 140mm cranks, Microsoft 10 speed group set with a "clutch derailer", hydraulic disc brakes etc, just these alone equates to the total cost of the bike. It's like they throw in the frame, wheels tyres and finishing kit for free when you add it up. Yep the tyre and wheel set is a bit heavy and the saddle is a bit hard - it's $999.00, for what you DO GET, well done Polygon ! Please keep us updated on your Polygon Siskiu d6 adventures , will be great to see how you progress on this bike. Troy
That trail the dude & dudette took you down looked like fun. Thx for the video Matt.
This is probably a common saying in MTB - I saw it on a sign before a line of jumps at alafia river state park in Florida and want to share it.
It said “pre-ride, re-ride, free-ride”
Those table jumps made me think of it
Nice. I like the snow still on the mountains.......
That trail was awesome, glad they pointed it out. Looks like tires could be your first upgrade, polygon and the Marlin. The bikes you have cover a huge range of riding, some component upgrades, pedals for the Marlin maybe a new saddle and grips. Contact points are the quickest easiest upgrades without getting into the technical stuff. Nice video
I can't wait to see your Frisco Bike Park video. I make it there a few times each year. My home trails are the Winter Park and Grand Lake area most of the time.
I'm always telling you to upgrade your stuff instead of buying new, but I will make one suggestion that contradicts that...the new Roscoe 8 has a different frame and if you like the feel of it you can't do anything to upgrade what you have to get there. Also, if your plan is to replace the wheelsets, tires, fork and brakes to what you essentially get on the 8, it's going to be cheaper to buy the 8 and sell the 7 (plus it's done today). On top of that you prefer the SRAM drivetrain on the 8, which you don't have on the 7. Definitely upgrade the polygon's tires and if you want to make it your gnarly downhill bike then you can upgrade the forks rear suspension, tires, brakes all of it as you don't really have anything into that bike anyway. With the price of bikes now, you should get a really good trade in on the 7 or if you don't mind dealing with private sale stuff, you can probably get close to full retail for it used as it's practically new anyway. I like the idea of upgrading, but in this case it's more sensible to get the frame you like better already loaded with the stuff you want. Sorry to mess up your already finally settled mind on this...
I would customize it with a XT shifter. It has multi release and is compatible with the Deore derailleur. I would also upgrade the fork to Roxkshox Reba (xc/trail) or Revelation (trail). In Arizona it would need 4 piston brakes...and shorter cranks. It's on sale at Bikes online for $1199 right now.
Another awesome ride
Upgrade what you have. That sounds great!
I would have done again that trail at 9:58 about 3 times more . Nice!
Hello im getting the exact same bike today! New sub bro
That was so sick 💪🏾 amazing trails the views was so DOPE 🔥 GREAT riding 💯
That trail was sick Matt .
Love the content you have got me riding again I even brought a marlin 6 n im loving it love from Australia 🇦🇺
Thinking to buy secondhand Polygon siskiu d6 2018 vs. GT avalanche expert 2014 vs. Giant fathom 29 2 2017. Which one would be the best choice if its conditions and prices are same.
Please help me any advice and suggestions? Thanks!
You’ve convinced me to get my wife a polygon d6! Hope one day we can catch a trail together. I live in CO too. In the springs
Nice! I’m down 🤙🏾
Good call🤘use the amount u were going 2 spend on a new bike on various upgrades for each of ur bikes..experiment with some tyres on each bike....maybe a sponsor 😉u would get a heap of video's put of that alone. experiment with different grips maybe too??pedals ??groupsets etc??maybe a bike shop could sponsor you??big discounts on parts u try??u could even have a 2nd channel just for upgrades🤘
Oh Man. Im sorry to say i called it with the flat on the last ride. It happened on my last ride with my son. Oh well. Keep on riding.
Haha I immediately thought of you when I saw it was flat
Hey Matty, can you do a video showing how you change the tire on the M6?
For sure!
I upgraded my D6 and even put a 140 fork and man!!!! Amazing bike!
Nice! I plan to do that for sure
should I upgrade my Trek Marlin 5 to the polygon d6? been looking at that bike for a while now
I think that would be a really good upgrade. I think the trek marlin would transition well with the D6
Hey Matty, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and like your baseball career story as well. I’ve made many Toyota video reviews, but am now starting mountain biking as well, what category do you upload to for mountain biking audience? Thank you!
Thanks man I really appreciate it. I do sports.
@@MattyActive much appreciated, been out of making videos since I left Toyota for about a year, but have found mountain bike to be my new passion as well. Keep them videos coming 🔥
How come you don't have a trek full suspension? I only ask that as most of your videos are about trek bikes. Just got a marlin 8 and waiting on a fuel ex 8!
I’m actually looking into one lol.
@@MattyActive haha let's go!! I heard the fuel ex is due an update though so just wondering how that will go
Looking at t7 have you rode it? If so what are your thoughts?
I haven’t but I’ve heard great things about it!
Yes just upgrade your bike. I have the Siskiu T7 I have replaced the seat, the handle bar, I went tubeless,and I got Shimano XT brakes. I believe that’s all I need and I still have less money in it than I do a bike shop bike for two reasons. My bike when I bought it cost me $2,048.00. To buy a bike shop bike with the same equipment was going to cost me around $4,000.00. So now I have a $6,000.00 bike and it cost me $2,800.00. Next year I will get some industry nine rims and some Maxis tires and I am still way cheaper than the bike shop bike’s. Have fun with your bike, and May every ride be epic. You should come to central Florida we have some bike parks hear. Check out Santos, the vortex, Alafia state park, Balm Boyette,and Loyce E. Harpe park.
And we learn from you as well
what size and wheels are you riding ?
Size M with 29” 2.2 tires
@@MattyActive how would you compare it with Marin rift zone 29'er , they have similar prices in Europe that's why I ask about a comparation between the two , thanks in advance
How come you didn't take the polygon on that hard core trail?
I wanted to upgrade the tires first but I’m gonna do that for sure! I might as well wear these out first
@@MattyActive word. The polygon would've been more enjoyable on that trail for sure. Speaking of enjoyment it's now time for me to hit the trail. It a beautiful day here in Oregon & I don't want it to go to waste🤘🏿
What size D6 is that?
MEDIUM
At 11:21, how do you slow down on berms? Do you use the front brake to slow down or the rear? I wanna know coz i'm still a noob 😑
I use both brakes.
How tall are you
5’8
@@MattyActive OK I'm 5'11 just ordered the 29" in a large I hope it's not to big.
@@freddiet8639 I think that should be fine for sure
2 meter
For some reason I just hate the name Polygon for a bike brand. It just seems like a cheap meaningless name.
Lol shut up dude who cares about the name...
