- In this video I’ll be riding my polygon Siskiu D6 at Floyd hill downhill trail in evergreen Colorado.
Make sure to follow on Instagram @mattyactive for additional content and updates!
imo, unless youtube is your full time job, just keep doing what youre doing or would have been doing
This woman was crazy go on a few more ride with her I bet it would be mad fun:)
Another suggestion: try to turn the bars less when cornering instead lean the bike into the corners
That's even more important when riding on your slack status
I would focus on keeping the content consistent. Keep ridin', Matty!
It was recently shared with me on a trail ride, if you’re not falling you’re not growing. That’s how we learn in this MTB game.. Keep riding & breaking that Polygon in!!
That lady is badass!!! Rad trail dude.
Hi Matty, I'm no expert on how to make a living on UA-cam, but I think for most folks that want to make a go of it, your best bet is to put all of your content on the "free" channel, get as many of your friends in the community link your videos from their channels and sites to maximize your subs and views, which leads to better ad revenue. "Feature" each others channels to share an audience. You need to link your riding partner's channel, if she has one! Have a Patreon for those who want to contribute and you can sell merch through a few different vendors that might be branded with your logo or even just linking some of the products you use. Becoming an "influencer" in the MTB world will also get the notice of vendors who will send you stuff to try out, though that's not going to buy many Eggos. You and Joe ought to start a MTB tour company and take folks out on the trails you like, that would work! :)
The thing holding that Polygon back is the tires. They sell it at a lower price point, the way they got there is to put cheaper tires and brakes on it. I think if you put on a decent set of tires it would behave very differently, I could hear it slipping and sliding all over the place. That track is always pretty sandy and "washy", you really need good tires to run it well. It's like putting street tires on a jeep and taking it on an off road trail. Still, that's not a downhill bike, that's not really the trail you'd take that one on. Flowy trails with lots of switches and turns is better for a nimble bike like that, where your Status wouldn't be very happy. Keep in mind that bike is almost half the price of the Status, you have to grade on a curve.
Just keep doing what you're doing bro. Really good, honest content🤘🏻
As for the first part of your video, I watch because you seem like a nice guy that likes to mtb, I wouldn't do anything different but thats up to you.. as for the ride, that was pretty good. I think the shadows from the tree messed you up. Good vid.
I watch because I like mountain biking and positive people and you do both of those well. Just do things that are fun and interest you and people will continue to tune in. Some pretty good crashes bring back the Status 😂
Looks fun! Funny enough I was thinking I hadn't seen you take a fall in a minute ...then we got the Spongebob cut lol.
Dude you’re killing out there! You inspire me to ride and I thank you for that
1st Part of the video... I like your channel cause you seem like a good person with a good heart and I share your passion for MTB. I enjoy watching you grow in the MTB community and as far as the other stuff, if you were to come out with a sick shirt for your channel I would definitely get me one. Lmao, that female is a badass WOMAN👏💪 my respects to her😎.
I do t know how you even saw the line through the 7:00 -7:40 mins mark… that was so rocky! 🤛🏻🤛🏻
Nice thumbnail with the feet in the air! Anybody that has ridden know that feeling.
Wow, you even took a few of the spicy lines, not just the main line.
Just out of curiosity did you change your tires for this ride? You seem to be having traction issues that having cross country tires would cause. Tire choice is king when riding more aggressive trails. You don't keep your street tires on when you go mud bogging.
Nope, I need to upgrade the tires for sure
Loving your videos man! I have the same bike it’s my first full suspension mountain bike and I love it!
Just subscribed. I love your videos. I'm new to the sport. Not going to lie I started on a department store bike. I rode the hell out of but I realized I need something more capable. I recently ordered a d5 which is basic but from what I've heard not a bad bike. And from what I'm used to it should be like a rolls Royce
Thank you David I really appreciate it!
i prefer a trail hardtail over a fully anyday. i have both and the long and costly maintainence isnt worth it for me.so frustrating when the frame is squeeking. i deinstall the whole bike after every 2-3 rides and it consumes around half a day. i bought arail hardtail, did some upgrades and thats it.almost zero maintanence
Love the videos! I would support the channel through a membership - want to see this channel grow!
"If you're not crashing you're not progressing"....So they say...LOL
No one probably cares about this but my dads friends friend works as a bike shop that carries specialized Abby might be able to hook me up with a specialized fuse 27.5 with a couple hundred dollars off and i am so excited
Nice!
Out there in Colorado y'all got them rocky dangerous trails, but us Californians we got them smooth flow trails, l mean mostly, because we got some dangerous rocky one's too l guess but not as many...
Really tough trails
Another wheelie tips and tricks
Please review the new polygon d7 2022
Hey my man, for trails like that you should be wearing elbow pads and knee pads and wrist brace...
Nice video man, is this on a stock d6 set up?
Yep all stock
@@MattyActive seems like it handled pretty well, I’m looking at getting the D6 or the Marin Rift Zone 1 for my first full suspension bike, which would you recommend
Didn't you also get a Specialized mountain bike?
Yes I did. Joe from trail features channel gave me this bike to try out and see what I think about it
@@MattyActive I'm pretty sure the D series is more of a cross country bike. But I think you figured that out lol
@@MattyActive Looks like a great bike. If I wasn't hooked on my Trek Rail 5 e-bike I'd probably go for a Polygon. But I developed some knee issues riding too hard uphill on a regular bike so I switched to the e-bike. Riding uphill is fun now, and better for my knees. Rock on, keep the videos coming.
Member only live streams would be sick!
That’s actually a great idea
This or the marin rift zone 1?
I would go with the rift zone in my opinion
What an intro that hurt…
👍🏾
That dirt looks dry and sketchy
I know that would be my last ride!
