– Dude, did you see that? Roosted that turn up there into a manual. Alright, these are my top ways
on how to be a free rider. (upbeat music) Alright, first off for
being a free rider is having your suspension a little bit
harder than everyone else. Just helps with those huge hucks to flat and you don’t just blow out
your suspension, bottom out. Plus, it helps you in the trails. Just poppin’ everything. Just bouncing. Du-du-du-du-du! Ahhhh! Hard suspension. Next one, trick everything. Beast easy and just have fun. Where you can get air, trick it. I’m gonna trick this. (upbeat music) Alright, free riders love to manual. And everywhere and anywhere. Right, this next bit. Free riders film everything. If you haven’t got it on film
and it’s not on Instagram, you haven’t done it. So, I’m gonna film this line right here. Alright, that looks sick. Jump from there, land on the log. It’s balanced. Alright, hit this jump. Sick, watch that back. And stop. Right, this one is my favourite. It’s not all about speed,
it’s all about fun. Taking the free ride line. Look at this line here. Doesn’t look like a line,
obviously, because it’s free ride. This is a fast line. That is the fun line. Bushes for your wheels to go through and there’s a jump on its exit. That is fun. That is my top five ways to
have a little bit of free ride in your riding when you’re out there. It’s not all about a race. It’s all about having fun. And if talk about fun, if you wanna know how to ride a trail fun, click just down here. And if you wanna see what
mountain bikers say all the time, click just down here. Don’t forget to click

it would be a pleasure for me
wait thats z's santa cruz !
I Wish i have a bike like that .
What type of bike is that and can you ride it up hill easy?
I couldn’t manual to save my life
Wat is the top tube lenght ?
you forgot the oversized T-shirt!
Freeride is life 😂🤙
sweetness!
How many PSI
one of the best videos ever!!
get me some great ideas I can capture some sick lines and jumps on my Walmart Mongoose before I get my real bike!! picking up my helmet and pads today luckily just in time
Hi sir just want to ask whats your frame rear Travel?
This vid is so sick it’s at my local trails in Santa Cruz
Real freeriders are rides on hardtails with dh forks))
really miss this type of videos
Can slopestyle bike with full suspension use for freeride?
Can i be freerider with a hardtail bike ?
You forgot spoiled, white suburb boys putting mumble G-rap in all their mountain bike comp videos
can someone explain what he meant by a "hard suspension" im still confused about that lol
Step 1: Send It
Whips, Manuals, Endo Turns, popping off everything into flat, and choosing the steepest line are the bread and butter of freeride
I'm playing on highways and it's more challenging to me and mostly i jump to the side walk to make a clear way
Is this still consider freerider?
More on urban driving hehe
I don't ride as fast as I can not because I'm freerider but because I'm scared XD
Zzzzz,s
It's not about speed, it's about drive it's about power we stay hungry we devour
freeriding is not about beeing the fastest or doing the gnarlyest stuff, its about flow, style and joy.
We're often considered "show offs"
But you wouldn't consider a skater doing kick flips a show off, would you?
Wanna be a freerider? Master your bike before bringing it to the mountain, 100m quiet road is all you need. Wheelie->stand up Wheelie-> manual-> bhop and track standing in between that's how you become a 🥷.
And never forget to Enjoy.
Cheers
Goal: spend 25-50% of the ride in the air
No issues with assembly for me https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" – 5'9".
Got it hard suspension to bounce everywhere… thats what i want … thanks. 🙂
