Congrats on a new addiction, Quady. Coming from someone who rode BMX as a juvenile, mountain biked as a teenager, then raced road bikes in my early adult hood for . I no longer ride as often as I used to, but trying to ease back into it with long distance endurance rides. I'd love to get back into the mountain bike scene someday. Couple sincere tips: Wear a helmet and get yourself a pair of decent quality padded bike shorts(it's life changing believe me). Good thing you choose a mountain bike, mountain bike shorts aren't as tight fitting as "regular bike shorts"
Wishing this had a Love button!! Happiest of birthdays Quady! This video made my day!! Seeing the joy of your new adventure! You are such an amazing and inspiring person. Truly enjoy your videos 🙂
This is a really sturdy bike for the casual rider, I ride the same one. I changed the contact points (Saddle, Grips and Pedals) and kept the rest as is. Does the job!
This is so cool to see. I just bought myself a new mountain bike today. Modern bikes are a lot different than my 2007 Gary fisher I’ve been riding since it was new. Enjoy the ride!
Congrats bud and happy b-day, thats a nice ride, I rode for 10 years back in CO before I finally broke down and bought a car, haven’t done it in over 15 years now. These days everyone is buying ebikes so way to stick to the pedal power.
Have not used a bicycle since I was a teenager up until my wife and I rented some during our recent trip to Canada to ride along the coast in the summer. Enjoyed it so much that now Im looking to purchase one and now I definitely know to purchase this model! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Stay safe.
I bought a Trek Earl Bontrager back in 2007 like yours and its held up extremely well! I still ride it today. It's been a great bike! It's lite and easy to carry. Only ever have to change out cables and brake pads once in a while
Happy birthday brother. Nice 'yaks in the garage. I'll have to check out more of your videos. Northern weather is starting to get nice enough to get out on the water fishing.
About 2 minutes in. Had to pause, QUADY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR! 🤟🏻🍻 I bought a used Trek x caliper 8 couple years ago. 1 1/2” pvc abs hose clamps, then you got your self a rod holder for the back! 🤟🏻👌🏻
Happy bd CQ!!... enjoy your new bike. I've been into mountain biking off and on for 25 years. Great way to get out and explore. tips... always pack a pump and spare inner tube or at least a patch kit, and tire bead tools too. Gloves... full wrist and full finger. So your hands are protected if you crash. Nothing worse than trying to ride back home with scraped up hands. Adjust your saddle angle for best fit. I prefer my saddle a little tip down, so my weight is more on my sit bones. Helmet too... I consider this a must. Yep good grips are essential... Oury #8 are my faves. have fun!!!
I am thinking of buying this bike this weekend. Haven't rode a bike in years, and since I moved to Colorado it would be nice to ride during summer on all those trails. I saw bikes for couple thousand dollars and found this one for 699$ I believe. Hope I enjoy riding lol. Thanks for the video
Its a really good bike tbh I’m happy with it have it since 3 months but i did get into an accident and changed the rear Derailleur myself and learning alot of stuff from park tool page.
That's a great bike! I bought myself a Norco Storm 7.2 a couple years ago as a bday present to myself and every Spring it kicks my ass, haha! It's a lot of fun though! Happy Birthday, I hope you had a great day!!!
Excellent choice on a Trek Marlin….. I have Marlin as well. I completed the NYC Five Burroughs Bike Tour 40 Miles on my Marlin 7. Happy riding and Happy belated Birthday.
Happiest birthday to you! 🎊🎉🎂🍻 You had me going when you turned onto the advanced trail. Holly 💩 you kept saying lol. That's where you should have a helmet and gloves for those tight turns and drops 🚴♂️. Hope you enjoyed your birthday! Happy trails literally! 🤗🏕💕
I LOVED my trek, put many miles and that thing it was comfy and hauled ass, sold it on offerup a couple years back way too cheap. I regret it. I have couple more I found in worse shape but I plan to fix em up. Treks rock.
Happy birthday great looking bike. Nice trail you went through there, you were huffing and puffing but you made through without injury so that's a plus, in time I bet you would be going over the jumps and ramps haha enjoy
Oh shit! Oh shit! Arrghh arrgh ooooooo ouch. Lol I got one of these and the 1st day it was fun - second day I hurt. I’m not 12 anymore. Now it’s a clothes rack in my garage. Good luck - Happy Birthday Man
I just ordered this bike for myself (same color too) and decided to watch some 'real user' reviews. I was pleasantly surprised when I immediatly recognized Lincoln! I bought mine from Nebraska Cycling in Columbus. Maybe we can meet up for a ride!
Dude first of all Happy 38th?? Birthday!! Also congrats on the bike. You will not be disappointed. I purchased a marlin 5 29er a few years back and still love it. The only thing I can say is please upgrade the pedals. You don’t have to spend much just get some with some grip. I learned the hard way with bad scars & yes the stock seat totally suck on these things lol
Happy Birthday Mike! I hope you have a wonderful day! The bike looks great and the trail was beautiful! Many happy trails to travel in the future! Today is my granddaughter’s birthday too. She is 3🥰
Happy Birthday! I bought my 29er about 12 years ago now, smoothest ride I've had on single track trails. I'm sure you'll love yours. BTW, I got a topper on my F150 a month ago and stared setting up the back for camping, thanks DUDE!
Happy Birthday Quady ! Feliz Cumpleanos ! Hope you have a great day. Nice bike, and that was a fun trail ride, looking forward to the added adventures Congratulations ! 💗🎂👍
I was waiting till I tried out my marlin 5 before I commented on this ,I love it so far dichetd the seat off star. Put a rack on it and some lights. Great bike It replaced my 1500 after it was stolen love a good bike.
Used to have a Trek, best damn mountain bike I've had. Enjoy and have fun!!

Thanks for taking us with for the ride. Some of us are not able to do stuff like that for medical reasons...
Looked like a lot of fun!
Thanks!
You bet!
Happy birthday bud, but please get a helmet for those trails, head and neck injuries are no joke. Stay safe !

great bike Mike, and Happy Birthday man! thank you for taking us on the ride 🚲
Happy Birthday, Sir and congratulations on the new bike !!
Glad you went with Trek I have the Trek Roscoe 6 and I upgraded a lot of items. It’s pretty fast even with meaty tires. Best of luck riding.
Nice!
Happy Birthday! Great gift to yourself! I’ve been riding for close to 45 years. Great way to stay in shape.
Have you seen that Family Guy skit with the bicycle rider? 😂
@@HF1.0 Have you seen the "MAD" bike rider on Portlandia?
Happy Birthday. And enjoy your new bike. Everyone should get themselves a nice b-day gift for themselves.
I bought a Trek Earl Bontrager back in 2007 like yours and its held up extremely well! I still ride it today. It's been a great bike! It's lite and easy to carry. Only ever have to change out cables and brake pads once in a while
Happy birthday, Quady! I ride this exact bike at work. It's by far the most comfortable bike I've been on. Congratulations on the new bike.
Happy birthday Quady, nice bike!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Don't you just love those "Oh shit!" moments!
😂 yeah, I need a helmet
Hi Quady, I love that new bike👍 Happy Birthday Pal 🎂

I know all about hamburger hands after crashing one of my motorcycles a few years ago, gloves and a helmet or on the list
"I'm not ready for that yet"
Then you ride the trail like a boss. What day is your birthday. Mine was the 21st. That's a nice bike. Happy birthday.
Happy belated birthday!

Happy birthday great looking bike. Nice trail you went through there, you were huffing and puffing but you made through without injury so that's a plus, in time I bet you would be going over the jumps and ramps haha enjoy
