I sent you the bike kit just in case you get a flat or it sucks to be stranded in the woods. Specially for your own bike fits under the back of the seat. Enjoy love the vids
Definitely a cool shot with the ‘unicorn cam’ lol. Regarding your feet, unless you’re planning on going clipless when you buy a bike, buy a pair of good mtb shoes. Makes a big difference. I like Adidas Five Ten Pro’s. Very grippy :)
@@LucasCatania17 the pros seem to fit my foot better and the sole definitely feels more grippy than original 5/10’s. What elbow/forearm pads were you wearing? Thinking of going clipless and I see falls in my future lol!!
Great video Lucas; It's been awesome seeing your progession! Bike wise, a couple cool mullet options to check out are the Transiton Patrol, YT Capra, and Canyon Torque. That stumpjumper evo can also be setup as a mullet I believe.
As a skier/MTBer clipless pedals are second nature. I’vw never not been able to detach when needing to. And i love being able to pull up on the pedal. Given them a shot if you want to stop slipping off your pedals
A bigger bike for travel is definitely going to be worth it as you’ll have a more all around bike for anything especially if you travel and bike at other resorts or whatever kinda like you do skiing at some point!! I would definitely recommend to stay on the “bigger” bikes now when demoing to find the geometry that best suits you and what you like!! Canyon bikes are AMAZING, but stick to what you’ve ridden and what you like!!
@@LucasCatania17 that Santa Cruz you rode in that previous video definitely looked like a good match for ya and what ya wanna do!! Maybe demo it again now that you can do more!?!?
Yooo Lucas, if you are having trouble with pedals it is totally normal to bring your own pedals to the demo shop and have them put them on the bike for you. (Anyone who rides clipless pedals does this when demo’ing) Also new bikes don’t come with pedals and I’m assuming you will be purchasing one soon so there’s no harm in investing in a good set of pedals now as you can just transfer them over to your new bike. Sick video as always I’m hoping to move out to salt lake before this upcoming ski season so maybe I’ll run into you sometime
yo appreciate that bro! definitely need to just get pedals as im gonna need them anyways like you say! and that will be sick man hopefully you make it out here!
I am going to say this and you will probably do it later in the video but I think once you get comfortable with the harder line you might be able to lift your front wheel and it might be a smoother landing...
My teeth were chattering when you took the skidder.. Have you ever thought about wearing a mouthguard? I think by having a larger front wheel that does change the geometry so that you are more back on the bike.. Again, I heard good things about Specialized.. Are you able to put different sized wheels on that bike? I know your best time was on the downhill bike.. I imagine that having more suspension travel and having the larger front wheel than the back make it a downhill bike? Is there a way to get a bike that has more suspension and then maybe being able to swap out the front wheel with a larger and smaller one to see how much that changes the geometry?
Hey Lucas, you should check out some reviews on the Rocky Mountain Altitude or Slayer for what you've been riding. Rocky is from Vancouver, B.C. & have consistently great reviews. I have an Altitude & love my bike. Later.
If you are just gonna do bike park stuff, maybe you should get a downhill bike 🤷♂️ Although there are lots of other cool trails/trips that would make for some fun vids if you do go enduro.

Bon is a legend 🫡

The progression has been incredible. Keep thrashing it.
thanks dude. trying my best to do so safely.
getting as gnarly as the skiing!
Ha not even close!
As always great video and awesome progression!
Thanks bro!!
Dude you are killing it, keep the stoke flame burning
thank you brudda!
Great to see you back at it bro enjoying it.... Ride onnn
yessir thanks jack!
Cool Weather just right to ride those Trails yaa
yeah so nice out there!
i was riding deer valley the same day, such a good day! lines were low and dirt was good. wish i could've spotted you
it was soo sick dude. my first taste of some good dirt!
Definitely a cool shot with the ‘unicorn cam’ lol. Regarding your feet, unless you’re planning on going clipless when you buy a bike, buy a pair of good mtb shoes. Makes a big difference. I like Adidas Five Ten Pro’s. Very grippy :)
definitely! i have the adidas five ten sleuths but maybe i need to upgrade to the pros?

That is one wild freaking ride.... Definitely on the edge of our seats
was that the first time navigating the hairpin on twist and shout...great day on the mountain!
ive done it a few times now but still super sick when i do it haha

i definitely want to try them! its obviously one of those 50/50 topics it seems. some people love flats and others love clipless!

thanks shane! i want to check out canyon bikes for sure! right now im leaning towards pivot or santa cruz!
@@LucasCatania17 that Santa Cruz you rode in that previous video definitely looked like a good match for ya and what ya wanna do!! Maybe demo it again now that you can do more!?!?
You should go out to South America next season for skiing if possible. Some resorts got 15ft of snow with more in the forecast.
that would be rad!
What’s up man, maybe try some metal pedals or pedals with metal pins. They’re definitely more grippy especially when wet.
yeah for sure! the rental pedals were just cheap ones!
such a sick day out there! whoever sent the MTB kit to the PO box, SPEAK UP!!

yewwwwwwwwww!
Damn deer valley looks sick. They are making some serious moves too, did you see the massive terrain expansion they announced?
Saw it briefly is it one of the developments offering some of its land it owns or just mass expansion
yeah i saw! more than double the current size of DV! sick!
People are very polite on that trail..

can you make a video on deer valleys Expanded Excellence News
i dont really have enough to make a whole video on it. i think its great!
@@LucasCatania17 ok! I am really stoked on it
Love you videos?

thanks for the rec man! i will check out those bikes

Eventually! But I definitely want to have the option to climb and not be pigeon holed with a DH bike
