New Bike Day and How I Chose It

Today was new bike day! Gotta love a new horse. First ride getting suspension right coming soon, first real ride at Jarrod's place soon after.

It's been slow recently but should start picking back up soon! Looking forward to riding this beast as often as possible.

Nice video. Just ordered my specialized rockhopper🥳 I can't wait. It comes on Thursday!

Congrats on the new bike! Enjoying all your videos where is your home Base? TN, AL GA?

Started watching your videos since I saw you got an Enduro. Welcome to the family. Definitely need some better hubs for the rear. I have I9 Hydra on my Sworks. I see you have cush core in the rear. I run them front and rear. See you on the trails.

I've been getting the itch to buy a bike again. Something I noticed was the rear shock placement. I had a Giant Anthem with the shock like your Scott and my second bike was a Scott Spark 10 and the rear shock was horizontal under the top frame tube. I always like the way the Giant suspension pivoted. I find it interesting that Scott changed the location and pivot. Do u notice any difference between the 2 brands. I know there's less travel on the x country Scott but pivot movement better power etc

I got an Enduro to replace my Stumpy. Haven’t touched the Stumpy since. Also S2 *hi5* BTW, the new flow trail, Hollywood, is going to open at Big Creek late July.

I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't like their enduro! Sweet bike. Specialized really nailed it the last few years with the Stumpy, Stumpy evo and the Enduro!

I think you'll come to find yourself back on the Spark on mellower trails. I ran the gambit of bigger bikes for my area and have gone to a 120/120 Top Fuel for my local rides because it is much more fun than bigger bikes where I live and the types of trails I ride most often. My longer travel bike is my vacation bike for the most part. Love it still but the Top Fuel is the more appropriate bike for me as a daily driver. Look forward to future videos on the new bike. You were pushing the Spark to its limits :)

Honestly, was pretty amazed by what you were doing on the spark and couldn't help but think you needed a proper enduro. Grats on the new steed 🤘

I've seen 2 other youtubers crack a carbon specialized frame and were warranted with the s works branded frame(send'er buds and Van Can i believe) probably what happened with that used one

Beautiful bike, Glad you're joining the enduro gang! Would like to catch you at Jarrod's Sometime.

There’s another part of the spectrum.... he need an aggressive hardtail to have fun on

[dewaynetrotman]

I've been catching up on your vids and you have progressed impressively. Congrats on the new stallion! It's an awesome bike! I looked around and done tons of research before I got mine too. I went with the Nukeproof Mega. It's a beast of a bike. I'll be heading over to Jarrods Place in the upcoming month! Maybe I will see you there!

Very nice! As others said, I suspect you'll find a way to continue enjoying the Spark for 2 reasons: 1) It likely will be more fun on certain trails, particularly those with lots of pedaling (such as trails with less elevation gain/loss). And, 2) you'll have a back-up bike for when the Enduro needs service and is out of commission for a while.

That's nicer than anything I've ever bought for myself! Congrat!

Where are you based out of and how do you get so much time to explore all these sick trails?

[brandtdenis]

Hey love the enduro. Keep up the great videos. Can’t wait to see you podium some more.🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟👍

[Eltoca]

Nice. I have the Specialized Enduro. Most fun I have ever had on a bike. So stable and forgiving. Goes up down and over anything no problem. Just point and shoot down the trail. #IAmSpecialized

[shanephillips]

Get rid of the spark, you'll never ride a mellow trail again 😆

[Gabeyatesestates]

Carbon worth extra couple grand in your experience so far?
