@@embn I love you guys....especially that 78 year old dude....?? Stevie the wild man! I bought me and my sweetheart a snow hat from you EMBN guys....That plus my GMBN Red, Black Grey and White.....sharp looking Jersey!!!! When Stevie gets done with Mt Bikes he can be a stand up comic!
Totally on the climbing, I've always enjoyed climbing, but the E-Bike just opens up a whole new world. climbing sections you would have pushed up, or even avoided in the past.
Hell yeah. Rat boy graciously accepted one of my Yuenglings in the Windham 2015 pits after a sick day of racing. Been a fan since! Bernard Kerr too, he gave me some used maxxis wetscreams that they were just going to dumpster. The post race pits are an interesting place!
@@embn indeed! I even caught Aaron gwin after his winning run coming out of the lodge. He autographed my cooler and let us take pics. His mechanic let us fiddle around with his demo too. Great guy, didn't seem bugged at all that a couple half in the bag race fans were fanboying.
Ratboy is a genetically talented rider... it make dh so effortless in a world of tech modern riders. Miss him in races. Really similar to Manon Carpenter.
The tips on e-bike handling help me as much if not more than tips on acoustic bike handling sometimes, seeing as my bike tips the scales at 38 lbs without a motor or battery thanks in part to the overbuilt alloy frame.
Acoustic bike never analogue which is a signal…acoustic is the natural way electric is the ebike... though I do like Rob Warner's definition of the acoustic bike "muscle bike".👍
this is based largely on a stock bike ridden with flat pedals. Its pointless pedalling the factory bike downhill because the motor will not be used due to the speed restriction. When you de-restrict the bike pedalling downhill becomes worth doing again because you have motor power. In addition, the more you can spin the cranks the more of the motor you can activate and that means high pedalling rpm`s which favors lower gears and foot attached. Good to see Josh riding, would be great to see him racing again.
Thanks for looking into to Josh's thought's on riding and handling! I learned a bunch from this video!!! Thanks Stevie!
No problem, Larry! Thanks so much for watching!

That's a really cool story! The pits post-race are a great place to meet your riding heroes!

Ratboy is certainly one hell of a rider!
Except brycelands got better hair
Hi. Interesting tip on wheel sizes with regards to rough and smooth terrain. Will definitely try it out in the future.
Glad this was helpful, Ted!
always a pleasure 🙌
Nice to see what josh is up too now cheers
Thanks for watching, Simon!

That was some prologue, great voice over
He'd smash some ews-e races for sure
Steve's heart eyes in this video are like out of a Disney movie 😍 I ship it
i went downhill so fast i lost my job and now live in the mountains of leogang
Does anyone know what size bike Josh rides in the video, and how tall is he?
Do you think we could see a Josh vs Brendon Ebike trials video. Plus a few others of course. 😊
JB = Hero
Last guy to win a world championship on 26" wheels

Never acoustic, it doesn't make sound.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeb it!

Translation please LOL😂. Rat Boy is the best!
8:19😱
love rat boy
How many bongs did ratboy have before filming this?
Its so sad we don't get to see ratboy regularly since he broke his leg on that wooden tabletop
Just for the record: what acent is that?
Strong Sheffield one but it’s a bit of mix of something else too i think
Sounds Welsh to me, boi.
He’s from Poynton near Stockport
@@fredward0372 that's not Sheffield
Manchester…
Theres only one ratboy 🤘
the man himself
