I bought a downhill bike!

I always thought that my enduro bike doesn't limit my riding at all, that I am the problem… how wrong I was is out of my mind.

So on day 1 I went to a bike park that is more focused on enduro/dh type of trails, but the conditions were awful, it's been raining quite a lot this day and it was hard for me to get used to the bike. Also the trails were very rooty and it was super slippery.

Day 2 and 3 I spent on more jumpline-oriented bike park (very popular this year – Wisła Skolnity). Apart from riding the usual stuff I felt so confident I hit the black jumpline. I may have cased all jumps except for the first two, but hey, I would never go there on my enduro bike! I also unlocked all gap jumps on the other trail.
I have a youtube channel where you can check it out, I do it in Polish but the google translate works well if you're curious what Im talking about, here's the link to the latest video from clearing gap jumps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUvoRK-axhU

The bike is Rose Scrub DC2 with Boxxer Base and Vivid Select+. It has Maven Bronze brakes which needed a piston massage before started to work properly. There are decent tires (Addix Soft, Ultra gravity compound), decent Newmen wheels. It's 200/200 travel so Im super stoked on that.

Only thing Im planning to do is upgrade the fork to Ultimate version and maybe do the same for the rear shock, as they both lack high speed compression.

I also struggle from pedal strokes but I read the Vivid air shock is pita to set up because of huge air chambers, so I'll just keep adding air until I find the spot (I'm running 3 out of 4 tokens). I also wonder if I shouldn't go with better front tire. Im used to Assegai in MaxxGrip compound so I feel the Schwalbe in Addix being a little dull.

It's winter now so no more riding for now, but I'm planning to visit some Austria bike parks next year and of course all the gnarliest tracks I can find here in Poland.

I would also love if you could check out some other videos from my Youtube channel. One of the latest videos features the hardest, scariest, steepest slab trail from Rychlebskie Stezky – Czech Republic. I was sweating over it for a couple of years and finally found courage to do it!
