Lol, thanks Barrett. We are glad you are enjoying it. Sage

Miss you Chris! Thanks for the love and support. Sage

That sounds like a killer setup!!! Thank you for watching and commenting. Sage

just put on the Dillinger studded tires.....time for snow!

lol!!! It's an acquired taste for sure. But you never know Dennis, we are not the riders we think we are ;) Thanks for the support and feedback as always. Sage

Better than making you butler! (Seinfeld reference :) Hilarious comment though! But there is a joy in going UP technical trails that I actually think you'd enjoy! Anything is possible! Appreciate the comment as always! - Dan

Love to hear that Erin. Progression is the name of the game. Let's get it! Sage

Thanks Erin!! Jumping is KINDA addictive! LOL! Appreciate you as always! - Dan

Yes!!! Great call Mark! Sage

Oh yeah! And I saw his DJ on Instagram.... very high handlebars there too! #BrianKnows (Or maybe, "What Would Brian Do?") LOL! Thanks Mark!! - Dan

I don't know Zane, I've been on a few rides with you and you are pretty awesome on the tech. Sage

You're a natural and intuitive rider! I'm sure you'd be awesome at the slow tech if you focus on it. But do whatever is most fun! (and if you visit the SW and want to session some climbs, that'd be dope!) - Dan

@TheRideAbides yeah definitely gotta focus more on them. Recently it's been all air time, all the time😂

Thank you for the insight Steve! Sage

I trust you and Brian! Just installed 89mm rise handlebars on the DJ! - Dan

Ok, so I'm not crazy for wanting to bring my DJ to Skyline, lol. I just got some aggressive 26 in tires to help with grip so I'm hoping to try that soon. Thank you for the feedback Steve. Sage

That's so cool Steve!! Legit jump trails at Creek!! Was it more fun on the DJ or the MTB? Was it harder on the DJ? Appreciate you listening and commenting as always! - Dan

Thanks, Josh!! Awesome feedback and advice!! I'm going to keep working on this. Per your jumping videos, "Be a small jump hero." Appreciate you! - Dan

Awesome feedback and insights as usual! I think I need to work on a few of those things myself. Thank you so much for all the support and comments over the past year. Sage

Love that setup Jim! Thank you for watching and commenting. Sage

Lol right on John. I gave up on them a long time ago myself. These days a good pair of wool socks and winter shoes does the job for me. Hope you had an amazing weekend of riding. Sage

Sounds like nothing a good pair of wellies can't fix! :-) BTW, my wife watched the episode and commented, "Oh, I love wellies!" - Dan

Oh sweet. I can't wait to see it. As for the over shoes, we do a lot of sessioning of big rocky features, which means a lot of getting off and walking, needless to say they get torn up pretty quick, lol. Sage

I love your passion and commitment to mtbing!! Rigging your bike for winter riding with lights... so cool! You're unlimited!! - Dan

OMG there is so much to unpack here John. Interesting insights too! Please send us pics or videos of this tube/tire setup if you get a chance (rideandlaugh1@gmail.com). I'm dying to know how this looks and works. Sage

John, you are a mountain bike wizard!! This sounds like a really cool setup but for us 'muggles' we're probably better off paying for an insert than figuring out the double tube method! LOL! Regardless, it sounds like you're getting all the benefits you want. Very cool!!! - Dan

Excellent point Fred! I think what I was trying to say was, not having the rear shock to rely on helped me to work on the boost. I'm hoping to continue to improve on that technique with the DJ and take that over to the MTB. Thanks for the comment and feedback. Sage

Spot on Fred! If we can learn that 'proper' DJ jumping technique... that will unlock more comfort, steeze and confidence on mtb's!! Easier said than done! Thanks for listening and commenting!! - Dan

Now that sounds like a proper setup. Shout out to JBs too! I ride Mt Penn often, hopefully we will see each other on the trails someday. Thanks for the feedback and insights. Sage

Starting cushcore on an e-bike makes a TON of sense and is what I'm leaning towards as well. Very interesting that you're sold on the tire inserts for your analog bikes as well. Did you get the upgraded wheels? Sounds like a killer upgrade!! - Dan

Interesting Stan, I might have to look into the Tannus if the Cushcore doesn't work out. Thank you so much for the feedback and insights. Sage

That's a great endorsement for Tannus! I have a Tannus insert in the rear tire on my aggressive hardtail. It's very lightweight though I haven't noticed any benefit other than rim protection (which is very significant! I tend to huck that hardtail way too much! LOL!) - Dan

Yo!!!!! That's awesome Ryan! Congrats on the new whip. Let's take it up to Mt Penn and run some sessions on Skyline. I can't wait to see what you can do on that thing. Sage

YES!!! This is so cool!! Can't wait to hear about your shred adventures on a MTB!! More fun on bikes!! - Dan

Love that Rob!!! If you want to borrow mine to see what it feels like before you pull the trigger LMK. Sage

​​@@RideLaughPodcastthanks sage. Wife gave OK so I had to move fast. Dirtlove ST arrives in mid January at a great deal. Whole family wants to hit the philly pump track next spring

@@robertc2918 Yes!!!! I love that!

Stoked to hear about your DJ progression and adventures!! Really curious what skills you'll learn on the DJ. And def the right tool for pumptracks! E-bikes and DJ's... what an interesting path!! Love it! - Dan

I love that Mark, it makes total sense. In the meantime, I created a video on Dan's pump track that might answer some of your questions. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/fIanVFip_sY/видео.html Sage

Riding a DJ is so interesting... it's tough but may unlock some really cool skills! I can't recommend Sean at Sticks & Stones enough. Sean is a wizard with dirt and a great dude. You can have him over for a quote. Backyard pumptrack plus DJ may be around the same price as a high-end e-bike!! And I'd go backyard pumptrack every time... especially if the kids can enjoy it too! Let me know if you want Sean's phone number. I can text him an introduction if that helps too. - Dan

lol Thx Jeff! Sage

Thank you so much Jeff. It's been a long time coming! Sage

Anything is possible Jeff!! Sage is proof!! :) - Dan

@@TheRideAbides Ha!

Right?! I was thinking the same thing Jeff. Sage

Thanks Jeff! Trusting intuition! - Dan

"Volume spacer for your tire" Love how you put that Jeff. I have not noticed much difference in ride quality on the SS, but I can def feel the weight. But then again that is a super light bike so every once counts, lol. I'm still experimenting with the fat bike insert so I'll let you know if I notice anything there. Thanks for the feedback and comment. Sage

@@RideLaughPodcast Sounds good, Sage! I would recommend experimenting with lower PSI. I typically run 22 front, 26 rear in AZ with all the gnarly rocks here. Surprisingly, I've never had a flat out on the trail (knock on wellies 😜). You might not notice much other than protection on your fat bike.

@@jeffjacksonmtb Thanks jeff! On my SS I'm running 20 in the rear with the Cushcore, and 22 on the front. I'm still experimenting on the fat bike, but on my last ride at Mt Penn I was able to run 10 in the rear (hoping to get down to 8). Sage

@@jeffjacksonmtb I'm very curious about Cushcore and may need to experiment! I run 25-26 in the back and 22 front... which seems to work well for Arizona. Maybe 27 psi at South Mtn. Wonder what psi I would run with Cushcore... but could be an interesting upgrade and definitely a fun experiment! Appreciate your comments and support as always Jeff!! - Dan

OMG I love that name too... so funny. As for the bell, we agree completely. Thanks for commenting as always Erin! Sage

I always loved the "Huck Norris" name too!! And I was a huge Chuck Norris fan as a kid! :) Glad you appreciate the bell. I've always gotten such pleasant responses vs. yelling! Thanks as always Erin! - Dan

Yeah, I totally agree. After reviewing the footage of Danny on that feature he was def too far back... good call. Also, I feel the same way about the Cushcore, I feel so much more confident knowing my rims are gonna explode, lol. Thanks for the love Dennis. Sage

I'm sure you're right about the butt buzz = bad form! It's something I continue to work on. Appreciate the feedback! And I'm getting pretty tempted to try cushcore... not ready to pull the trigger yet but anything that can add confidence; probably worth it! Thanks for the feedback Dennis! - Dan

That's awesome Pepe! We appreciate the support even when the topics we cover may not be relevant to what your interests are. Also great feedback on the eMTB and winter gear! I hope we get to hook up on the trails someday. Sage

Thanks Pepe!! We're hoping that people enjoy each show just b/c we're talking bikes and having fun! Living the car-free lifestyle sounds cool! Less gas and more money for bikes!! :) Really appreciate you listening and commenting! - Dan

You had me at "Cheek Tissue" lol. Good stuff on the jumping Zane. I'm doing this backwards and wished that I had started jumping on a hardtail because bad habits are hard to break. Sage

Not surprised to hear that you learned jumping on a hardtail b/c you like very natural and comfortable in the air! Mtn biking gives us so many challenges to work on, unlock and overcome! What a great sport!! - Dan

Using your cheeks like brake calipers, LOL! I love it. Good stuff Josh. Thank you for the hilarious and insightful feedback. Sage

Thanks Josh!! Appreciate you watching and commenting! I'm def too far back when the butt gets buzzed. I'm actively working on it. The only think worse than caliper brakes is caliper butt cheek brakes. LOL!! - Dan

Right on Pat. I imagine there an another element when it's your spouse too. You both know each other well, so knowing when to coach and when to step back is probably key. Thanks for the comment. Sage

Always appreciate your comments Pat! It's such a fine line sometimes... encouraging someone to keep riding and having fun but respecting their intuition too! Mrs. Chain is lucky to have you! :) - Dan

Bam! I completely agree Steve. Thanks for the feedback brotha. Sage

Bent Spokes Wisdom! Always good stuff!! Steve knows!! - Dan

Congrats on the new eMTB Johnny, you are worthy!!! If anyone knows how to have fun on, and off the bike, it's you brotha. Glad you are enjoying the pod, we are having a blast making them. So now that you have an eMTB can we expect to see you in PA for some shreddy goodness? Sage

I'm not sure I follow Ellery. Did we say something that rubbed you the wrong way? Sage

Heck ya Jim. The fat bike is so much fun! We have to hook up for a ride at Smed soon, on the fat bikes of course ;) Sage

Right on Sean! I'm glad you enjoyed the pod. Sage

You're an awesome rider!! Those climbs are NO JOKE!! So impressive. We should def ride again soon. Let me know when you're available and we'll make it happen! - Dan

I forgot about the DH bike, add that to my list, lol. You would absolutely rip on a DJ Zane. Would your shop let you borrow one? Sage

@RideLaughPodcast more than likely yeah, i could probably get on a specialized P2 as that would be their main carried one!

Bike park jumps feel so different to some of the DJ and BMX jumps out there. I'm really curious how the DJ jump skills may translate to the bike park next spring! Your area has some good DJ/BMX jumps spots, right? Are you close to Germantown bike park? Would be VERY curious to hear what you think of jumping a DJ! Could be a good Sploosh vid too!? - Dan

@TheRideAbides I'm fairly close to that one but even closer to Rockburn which has even better dirt jumps! I should get that going😂

Right on AJ, thank for checking out the pod. Sage

There is no limit to how handsome we can all be, lol. Thanks for the love Dennis. Sage

I like Dennis more and more! Smart dude!! LOL! Your content is getting better & better Dennis!! Unlimited progression, stoke, joy, passion and success!! (and handsomeness) - Dan

@ appreciate you buddy

@@RideLaughPodcast I need this as a shirt @trailsage

@@DennyJannettyMTB lol! Yes!!

Right on Marty! Thanks for the support and love. So what Dirt Jumper are you currently riding? Sage

Thank you for watching, commenting and sending us your positive vibes!! And you're welcome for us crashing so you don't need to! LOL!! I was dirt jumper on pump track only for a long time... now I'm trying to get that little bike in the air. Scary but that's progression for you!! - Dan

Right on Marty. Kids seem to adapt so much faster, and their ability to quickly learn a skill and apply it is something I wish I still had. But we got this brotha! Just takes a little more time and practice right?!?! Sage

Thanks Fred!!! Mt Creek with you boys sounds like a good time. Let's do it! Sage

I can't wait to see everyone shredding bike parks next spring after all this jump progression!! Thanks for watching & commenting Fred!! - Dan

It was so awesome to see you confidently hitting those jumps with that beautiful arch Rob. Glad I was able to help. Now we need to take that to Mt Penn and get you over #3. It's happening!!! Sage

Progression is SO much fun! And jumping is SO much fun! A very addictive duo!! LOL! So stoked Sage was able to help you unlock your jumping skills. You totally got this Rob!! - Dan

Hey Mark. The biggest reason is, I think the DJ will take my confidence in the air (and technique) to the next level. I still want an ebike, but given the cost difference, I think I can get more from the DJ at this point. Plus I'm pretty fit so sessioning on an analog is not terrible. Sage

@@RideLaughPodcast Good points. I do want to get better at downhilling so an Ebike might be better for me but I think I would put more hours on a dj. Lots to weigh here. I guess I just have to buy both

@@povtrails1219 N+2! LOL! We discuss this a lot in the next pod... b/c I was surprised when Sage started saying he'd want a DJ before an e-bike. They both can really level you up. It's a good conversation! Let us know which you get 1st & how it goes!! - Dan

Ryan you have been a tremendous help and inspiration to me. Thank you for taking an old head like me under your wing. I just acquired a used DJ from a buddy so I will be looking to you for some more advice next time. Sage

@RideLaughPodcast let’s get after it! I’ll be in the park this weekend, we’ll turn your boost up!

Gapping the drop into the 1st jump!!?! I haven't heard about this yet!! So cool!! Ryan, you're jumps skills are only matched by your positive vibes!! Mtb'ers are awesome!! Miss you boys at PHXBP but I'll be back soon enough. I'll work on my DJ skills in the meantime! - Dan

Fantastic advice as usual Shelly. Now we just need to fly you out to Arizona ;) Sage

@@RideLaughPodcast yes let’s gooooo!

Fantastic tips Shelly! I'll have to do some research. We just bought a portable mtb jump to practice on in the neighborhood! I'm excited to see what happens!! - Dan

@@shellygeorgopulos675 You're welcome anytime!! Lots of cool stuff to show off around here!

Right on Erin! We appreciate the feedback brotha! Sage

Thanks Erin!! Appreciate you brother! - Dan

Oh a 27.5 DJ sounds very interesting. If you get your hands on one please let me know how it rides. Sage

Oh that's really interesting. Specialized has a 27.5" DJ as well. I feel like the 26" wheels are better for lippy jumps... but maybe the 27.5" would feel more and more like a MTB, which could be helpful. Def curious about that! And gears would be nice in some places... the pedal to the top of Desert Trails Bike Park is a decent little climb... gears would save the legs! - Dan

Oh man I can't wait to see and hear all about it Jeff!!! Sage

Thanks again for the invite Jeff! Let's do it again sometime! So glad the race was fun!! Looking forward to hearing about it! - Dan

Hell ya Johnnie! I know you recently interviewed MTB academy and he said he knew Chelsea. That would be a cool interview if you could make that happen. Hope you are well brotha! Sage
