+Phil Kmetz MTB I'm not sure if you were serious about which one but, I was thinking of the one in the urban downhill race recently. Love your videos too!
Quebec Echo I had two crashes that day. One I posted to my facebook page, and one I posted to youtube. The one I posted to youtube in my race run wasn't actually that bad (looked worse than it did). The one in practice on the other hand left a mark. facebook.com/Philkmetz/videos/vb.155005917889830/974150549308692/?type=2&theater
Evil makes awesome bikes. They also have shaped/read the market brilliantly. They got everyone hooked on their 29er following....then the Wreckining came out and people loved it too. Then made the Following MB a tad longer. Now bikes have gotten longer, and seemingly rightfully so, and boooom, they introduce the OFFERING, which should be their best selling 29er, as it has bang on Geometry for where I’d guess where the industry will settle on for a long time. I’d say many many Evil fans that bought the original Following, then bought the Following MB, and will buy the new OFFERING. Smart company and killer bikes. I have ridden the calling and it’s a bomber 130mm bike that pedals better than most XC bikes. I want to try the OFFERING out and see how the 29in wheels shred.
dear Kevin, you made it! I used to be one of those assholes 29er hater until I discovered the Following. This bike is THE SHIT!!! Why do I love this bike so much? Because it's closer to 26ers instead of 29ers: it's agile, flickable, fun and shreds on every downhill trail. The only 29er things are the better traction on technical climb and the roll over ability. I would really like to ride it in bike parks but I'm too afraid to break the rear triangle. Many owners had troubles with the undead and the uprising (and the customer service too)
i dont see any downside to 29's as long as the rims and spokes are strong enough to take a beating as far as geometry working around the rim size they seemed to have nailed it . an extra inch and a half isnt going to make much difference except in bed maybe
+Brandon “B” L It's possible. I think a lot of MTB news sites with youtube channels will upload a video to their website first, and then will upload to youtube later.
I don't see the point tbh ,! .? A bike that I can't trust ? Mmmm no thanks I'll keep my Bronson ,they test it at the factory .... YOU KNOW LIKE BEFORE THEY GIVE IT TO CUSTOMERS., ,! Douches
Hi, I'm coming from 2021 and Evil shred even more than before
I really hope this is the rebound for them. The undead rode amazing and it's easily one of the coolest brands in the industry.
I saw your crash you are still alive! Jk but it was gnar
+Quebec Echo Which crash? I've had a few good crash videos.

How things have changed in a year 😂.. bet no one thought we would have 29er downhill bikes too
Fantastic video, well done. It's rare to find people who will actually ask the tough questions
Love the BLUEPRINT vids... Keep them coming.
I love in the beginning, Vernon says, "what the Hell...!" right when the little girl with her dad is walking by haha!
I hope Bike magazine continues with Blueprint series. I really like those videos.

damn , needs credit as a visionary. now everyone has a slack 29er trail bike.
These interviews are pretty cool!
5 years later and everyone is doing 29ers. 😂
I'm really digging this blueprint series.
I wished they kept the uprising in production. would love to have an evil on 26.
would a 140mm or even 150mm fork change the geo drastically?
Wait jones soda and Evil?!

Luke Strobel is such a sick rider...tons of style
So funny...3 years later it turns out they were at the forefront of the long travel 29er, now 27.5 is fading.

That looks so sick!
Dave Weigel heli-skiing?
29ers are amazing. I might get the following.
Dig the crap out of these vids
Hope evil all the best, I’m just not drinking the 29er kool aid.
So they never actually covered the issue. The bikes cracking! How has that been fixed? Or is it still bad? I want an undead haha
I expected the folks at Evil to be a bit more hardcore and bit less "punchy and playful"
That creepy guy in the background
wasnt this video already out?
