After owning an XC hardtail for a while now, I'm torn between an FS or a HT for an all-mountain bike. It would be nice to have the FS for the occasional trip to the DH/Enduro spots, but most the riding I do is Trail-riding. But the HT just seems more functional as an all-around bike. Something I can take XC rides in and still handle the rocky and rooty stuff as you did in this vid. You've inspired me to go with the HT. Thanks for sharing!
@Bigmike3023 you cant go wrong either way. I recently sold my 26 FS bike to get a Kona Honzo AM Hardtail. Both bikes are awesome and both are tons of fun. The hardtail is better at certain things and the FS is as well. I chose to go back to HT because it's more fun to me and it's a great bike to rip around and is quite playful on the trail. There's almost nothing it can't handle.
Found my first mountain biker idol! A Japanese mountain biker who rides hardtail and is young (there are plenty of asian mountain bikers that are 30-40+).
@1:52 I don't think it bothered him that much. I'm sure he was riding the front so the rear can do what it wants and it'll just follow the front wheel.
A long stem brings your weight forward over the front wheel, which is good for climbing, but makes descents like those in the video a very risky proposition. For this sort of riding you need 50-60mm max (depending on your height).
great video man.. loved everything about it! the music, bike, location, riding style, and shot really well

Somewhere in BC Canada. Chromag is a Whistler based company so likely Whistler or Squamish.

1:52, man you are good..:)

Excellent! Inspiring!
Song?
What build is this? How do you get a complete bike?
What bike it is ?
Where ist this?:)
hardtails ninja!!!
Love this guy
Hah, yeah. That was a pretty hairy moment at 1:52 though, when the root knocks his back wheel out and almost sends him into the tree. Yowza.
do you use click pedals?
Is this a 26''?
Cool vid.
He use clip pedal as well . Unless going big air
may i ask which forks did you use in this vid ? :)
RS lyrik solo air 160mm
or 29ers?
so have a very similar bike and it has a 90mm stem, would a 50 or 60mm stem make it better for free ride???
i ride a 650b bike quite similar to that one, mine has a 60mm which i found too big for all mountain riding so...
