Spencer! Hydra hubs have a designed flex in the axle to help engage more pawls when you pedal. If you start to wear out the hub bearings this can lead to more flex and possibly snapping your axle and could be why you are getting creaking. I would recommend popping the freehub body off and inspecting all the bearings. I9 now has a new axle that comes with a washer to help with wearing out the drive side of the axle. If you let me know the exact specs of your hub I can get you a part# for a bearing kit and a new axle
I'm 100% on board with you nursing the injury so that it doesn't take a lot more time to have to heal again. What's funny is you're still riding pretty rambunctious tracks but probably not pushing as hard as you would normally
I’ve never seen or heard of anyone consistently clearing those doubles on predator… I for sure haven’t been able to. I can get the first if I really focus up but the second is a hard no lol
This was the classic format with the chest gimbal. I’ve been running a chin mount the past few videos. What are you seeing that you don’t like as much?
@@SpencerAstraPOVI think he's referring to the squarish aspect ratio! The chesty mount that we see in the Freehub reviews is classic and real good and dynamic.
Sweet riding!!

Gopro7 is the best camera they ever made imo

Those trails look like a blast! What's your favorite all around tire combo on the Firebird? Thanks for the videos!
Purple rubber compound Magic Mary’s were really good. I’m also loving the simple Specialized Butcher/Eliminator right now.
The hub sound could be a damaged drivering..

Hey, what gimbal are you using?
The GoPro karma gimbal
Is it me, or did you film in a different size? I don't like this size.
