Good 'MBR' elbows and skids there

SKIDS? dryness = hard (for me) not to drift occasionally

I assume the music was picked on purpose for yesterday!

Yes, indeed it was

Must get myself one of them Ragley frames. Help to smooth out those rough looking trails.
Sorry but I could enjoy that far more on SS 29er.
I believe the terminology for this is overbiked for the trail you are riding.Posted 7 months ago # -
Oh I had to laugh a that. The trail is dumbed down quite a bit by my unprofessional filming and the 10-or-so steep & tight switchbacks in the lower section are not included in the vid. Don't apologise David: I invite you to come and ride it any time, PLEASE feel free to bring a 29er.

Excuse my ignorance but, is the GSix a 6" travel bike?
Looks like it smooths things out nicely

130mm rear travel, 160mm front travel

Loving the infomercial.
Is that the trail just outside Guildford ?

Leave him be... just choose your bike and ride it, don't judge others

Would love to, where is it?

Yeah, where is that trail?
Posted 7 months ago # -
I was thinking similar but not along the SS 29er route - the trail does look quite smoooooth and there were only a couple of sections that looked to be able to demonstrate and test the suspension. I assume the point is to promote and test the Ragley FS frame?
Very pretty though and looked fun all the same

I liked it. No matter what you're riding it's always good to be on dry dusty flowy singletrack.

What you need is a G5

I would like to ride that on my 160mm bike, looks great.
We still have dusty singletrack here in SE England btw, but unfortunately I'm working this morning.

Yep, the local Brighton trails were bone dry and dusty last night
...and I enjoyed them immensely on my 150mm Full-Susser

That is NOT possible.

Why?

C'mon Ash, mini review!

Paceman - I think it was sarcasm, taking the mick out of the "you must do it on the smallest travel bike possible for it to be worthwhile" opinion of some posters
Wors - I'll write some words down when I get a spare sec

Shame it was on a really smooth trail, if it was rockier/rootier it would have done the bike more justice, IMO obviously.
Posted 7 months ago # -
Wasn't it just a video of Ash riding a bike on some really very nice trails?
Posted 7 months ago # -
I've already inferred this, but I'll make it clearer: my filming (on me tod with a tripod and not great camera) doesn't do the trail anywhere near justice. Yes it's a smooth trail in places, but there are also quite a few fairly rocky/rooty/tech/steep parts* which I felt went some way to testing the bike.
I will endeavour to find a visibly much more technical trail for my next G6 demo video
*some of these tech bits you can see on the vid if you look closely, but many of the tech bits simply didn't get filmed
Posted 7 months ago # -
I don't believe Ash rides anything without an insane technical level of difficulty.. so somewhere on that trail will be the stuff my nightmares are made of

This is the stock STW cliched **** statement - well done.
edit: wow you can't even say w@nker any more?
Posted 7 months ago # -
I think it was Ash's Silky Skills (tm) which made it look so SS 29erable...;)

I read about a guy who entered the Trans Provence (similar terrain / area?) on a rigid 29er, a very capable one too. I read that he bought a susser when he got back.
I'd love to ride that trail on a rigid SS 29er, but I'd also love to ride it on a 1990 Raleigh Mustang, or my 140mm bike, a hardtail, on anything really. Looks like a lovely trail.
