sickk dude! i was at beech a couple weeks ago and it started pouring! i was slipping and sliding down all the mountain. i’ve never seen anyone hit that drop on black mamba 😂 keep shredding 🤟
i just got a '24 zeb - 180mm usually hard to trust the RS "trailhead" app, but i punched in my recommended spec on this fork, and hit the jackpot. the first 20mm of travel just FLOATS with those buttercups. combined with a new VEE tire "attack HPL" it's mtb heaven. sit down Kryptotal, the Attack HPL is the new king.
No external mic this is audio straight from my gopro. I do have the wind noise set to off so the camera always records audio in stereo mode. This drastically improves audio quality but you have to have some sort of wind muff or the audio gets blown out.
Have you tried the charger 3 Zeb? I found the charger 3 wasn't as nice on the hands as a Fox 38 for park days, but read the 3.1 has helped with hand fatigue. Biggest concern is for all day park laps.
I have the charger 3 on my ebike and while the 3.1 is noticably better I still found the 3 better then my 38s, but I'm beginning to think I may have had an issue with my 38s because this doesn't seem to be the norm 🤷♂️
@@DownhillJake yeah might be worth dropping the lowers and making sure everything is good. 38 is a killer fork. Been riding the 3.1 charger and I think they’re on the same level
My bike sucks. I love your bike! It’s so nice! Are there any bikes you would recommend? It my dream to have a bike like yours 😂 Sick vid the zebs look good
What is the zeb model you are using in your ebike and how doest the new model compare to that fork? Also have you felt any spiking in very high speed hits as I have understood that was a problem with the original charger 3?
I have the charger 3 on my ebike and there is a noticable difference in sensitivity when going to the charger 3.1. small bumps practically disappear. I haven't noticed any spiking on high speed hits yet on either fork 🤷♂️
Does Beech and Sugar allow Ebikes? I can't find anything about it. I have a trial bike I normally take but I just bought an enduro decoy and was wanting to maybe take it.
@@MikeH-qs4os I've ridden my decoy at beech numerous times so I know it's not an issue there. Can't speak about sugar, there's nothing about ebikes posted anywhere so I don't see why you couldn't. You can always message sugar MTN bike park on Instagram and be sure 🤙
I'm 172ish lbs fully kitted up with 170mm travel. I got air pressure set to 61psi and I believe it came with one token installed from factory, haven't changed tokens up from stock spec
@@DownhillJake factory is zero for the '25 Zeb ultimate... so if its from the box to your bike its got zero. I do agree their bushing are much better on the '25 and the 3.1 damper feels excellent. Im running one token but thinking of trying zero again, especially in the wet season. We shall see,
@@JamesM-T theoretically, the 38 has an additional rebound setting with the low speed and high speed rebound. The Zeb only has one rebound setting. But the experience I've had puts the Zeb on top. It could also just be riding style and preference 🤙

Yall prefer rockshox or fox? Or something else... 🤔
For jumps/park I would take rockshox, but for a race bike I’m taking fox
I have rockshox front and back, but I recently rode a sc megatower at a bike fest with fox 38 and x2 and it was really good
Rockshox
I use a marzocchi bomber z1
Love my DVOs
Bro, you are the first person I've come across to hit that tree drop into Black Mamba. I always see more footprints on it than tiremarks. XD Kudos!
Thanks man! I've always eyed it up this was my first time hitting it, it felt as sketchy as it looks 😂

The rain always turns up the spice 😂 you too man! 🤙
Best Beech vid of the season. Wanna see you nail Black Bear top to bottom by the end of the season
@@alexwex123456789 stoked to hear that! I gotta get that bottom rock garden sorted out for sure 😂

Thank you for the video. That was fun to watch 👍
Are you using the a mic from a GoPro, or have something strapped into the helmet? The sound quality is very great 👍

@@DownhillJake ahh, I see. Thanks for the tip!
Sick dude! Looks like those forks suit you well
Thanks man! Vast improvement for me over my older 38s

I would check out the YT Capra's. Hands down the best bang for your buck and they are amazing bikes.
Thanks man!
Dude... I have never seen anyone hit the tree drop into Black Mamba... Actually insane!!
It's a sketchy one for sure! That was my first time hitting it and I was stressed 😂
Fr every time up the lift I wonder if anyone actually hits that

@@DownhillJake Thanks for the quick reply. I will have to take it and try it out.
Need to get the new fork out to Pisgah
Heal up and let's go 🫡
what's your weight and what is your zeb travel? any token?

How much sag you runnin
@@rokbukejlovic about 25% in the front and a shade under 30% on the back.
shouldn't the 38 be better at tech because of the damping?
@@JamesM-T theoretically, the 38 has an additional rebound setting with the low speed and high speed rebound. The Zeb only has one rebound setting. But the experience I've had puts the Zeb on top. It could also just be riding style and preference 🤙
@@DownhillJake I need a fork that can take big compressions but still stays playful, the Zeb would be so much better than my 38 rythm😅
@@JamesM-T I would agree, so far the Zeb takes big hits way better than my 38 did and the Zeb is every bit of playful at the same time
@@DownhillJake only if I had the money🥲
@@DownhillJake you should do a review of the Rockshox vivid comoared to the fox float x2
Fork* unless you have multiple new forks
@@codh3gro who knows 🤷♂️
Sr suntour. Cause….free.
Can't beat free 🤙
