- After three weeks of self-quarantining with our friends Tess ( / dustybetty ) and Steve ( / hardtailparty ) we decided it was time for some bike skills practice in the driveway. So we put together the quarantine bicycle Olympics complete with five events and lots of goofing around.

SYD and MACKY quick question, what helmet is Macky wearing in this video?
That's the Lazer Impala MIPS.
I love that y'all are with Steve and Tess. It's just wholesome and makes for great videos in this weird time.
The background music makes literally everything a party
I love your race videos, your camping vieos....basically all your videos. But I found this one especially entertaining! I laughed out loud when Macky was accused of cheating because he has an orange helmet.
Really fun video. Thanks for keeping us entertained. I'm sure most people agree that we need it. Stay safe.
That looked like a lot of fun and the bunny hop contest was excellent!!
Crazy you guys are hanging out with them, I just found hardtail party and have been watching his videos. Macky you did not disappoint as usual! Wish I was quarantined with someone cool ...lol!
gotta love when you practice your scales and arpeggios 😊 awesome video, hope you’ve not lost your minds too much 😊
That was fun to watch, thanks. Thanks for keeping us entertained!!
Thanks for being so entertaining. I have been jibbing in the car park for laughs and it does improve your skills. 👍
So much fun! Thank you guys.
I shared this with our high school team. We are all sheltering at home and the kids are getting anxious to ride. Thanks for the suggestions!
That was fun guys. Thanks for the distraction! (And fun ideas)
Nose pivots! Sounds like a great thing to work on today! Thanks for the idea.
Let’s be honest most people don’t have this much spare wood or space, appreciate the entertainment and inspiration for a select few people with the same luxury’s you have
There are lots of things you can use instead of wood -- jack stands + broom, empty milk cartons, shoes piled on one another are just a few ideas for bunny hopping, chalk for skinnies, etc! In terms of space, the skinnies and bunny hops are probably out, but you can definitely work on track stands and nose pivots with minimal space (even indoors)...
SYD and MACKY cheers I’ll definitely give these a go
Great video guys. Reminds me of when we were kids doing stuff like this. Stay safe and clean. X
Looks like so much fun 😊
You made me smile.
That was so much fun. You two are the best.
awesome vid team! that was fun!
great video for the quarantine guys!
Loving syd's all orange bike!
Great video thanks !
Great seeing you all together! Fun video. How is Dusty walking already??
And here I cheer when I can hop up on a curb....
Yeah hat video was soooo cool!
Looks like fun
We used BBC to play bicycle basketball all the time! Great practice for slow speed skills.
Awesome fun!
Fun upload! For the next Games: Competitive Follow The Leader. Keep doing what you do!
Yes just what I needed
Still waiting for the how to videos. I suck at hops
Aristocats!!! Loved that movie 😂
Right! I watched it yesterday to ease the boredom of social distance. :-)
Great video! Good to see Syd on a bike. You guys were brought up in conversation. I live in Boise and my friend Fairlee mentioned you guys and now riding Niner because I just bought a 2020 RIP9 RDO. I bought a trainer off of her for certain “social distancing” times. Stay awesome!
Dan
We love Fairlee!
She’s an amazing person!
I did a bunny hopping session like that with some friends a few years ago as part of a flat-pedal exercise. Unlike my friends, I grew up on BMX and still have a lot of flat pedal skills, so it eventually turned into "how high can Ian hop?" I think I got up to around 24" on my hardtail 27.5+ bike. I think it's easier on a full suspension bike and with clipless. Either way - Man, did my arms hurt the next day!
You guys are awesome!!
If you ever need a place to stay in St. George Utah you have a place to stay(-:
Hahaha!!! Just think it's funny that I've been listening to my girlfriend teaching beginning piano lessons to kiddos online for the past few weeks and now you guys have some of that in the video... hahahaa
I love your vids!
I remember when they had an airstream Channel!
You all deserve GOLD... especially Little Dusty.
rad vid
fun times in a not so fun time..nice..
Are you guys planning on travelling to Europe? If so, You should definitely visit Belgium if you feel like some good XC/CX
Danny mac would probably bunny hop the posts lol. My best bunny hop is like 8 inches😟
I can't believe you compared foot down to Sumo wrestling.
GREAT VIDEO THO
Both great sports. :) In sumo wrestling, you're not allowed to walk outside the circle. Same with footdown.
The first song is freaking from Aristocats but idk the name
Wow I know the guy, Airstream guy !
Seriously disappointed you didnt go 3 deep on the circle 😂
Imagine how insane it is when Blake bunny hopped his fat bike by a whopping 33.5"!
The video in question: ruclips.net/video/9cTQzXB-dXU/видео.html
My 5 year-old daughter and I have been watching your videos for a few months now. She decided about a week ago that she wanted to be just like Syd so we took the training wheels off. She was a little shaky for the first couple of days, but it's unreal to see her progress in such a short time. We were inspired by your back yard skills video so we thought we'd build our own practice track in the back yard. I have linked a video to the initial test run.

Keep up the great work, thanks for the inspiration and we look forward to your next video!
That is awesome.
(and she's got better bike control then I do by the looks of it.)
She's killing it! Tell her congrats from us!!!
And nice job on the backyard skills course!
Have any of you done a basic skill instruction videos for beginners? We all have time on our hand
Hey Emily, Emily here! Couple of things for you to try on my channel :-)
Emily Horridge thank you
🐰 🐐
Where’s the dusty Betty clipped in version 😝
She'll be ready for sweet HUGE clipped in bunny hops soon!
What Mtb'ers do during the apocalypse. Lol
Rear brake on the right?! Am I missing something?
That is standard brake set up in the US...it doesn't make sense but for those of us who learned as kids it's far too late to change...kinda like the metric system lol 😂😂
That is also standard in Germany. Have been using it to long to change it now 😃
In Australia, it's the other way round ...I'm glad it is, as I could see myself making some unfortunate mistakes going from MTB to my motorbike.
Yeah, it's too bad there isn't a standard...
@@ciraloke same in the UK! Makes way more sense eh.. No idea how anyone else swaps between motos and push bikes without near death!! ;-)
Jealous
