I find with EWS these days, other than berms they aren’t sledding it down, rather they are just constantly hopping over obstacles the way my dog pounces like a coyote

Love your videos. But as a person using a full sus MTB for daily commute, I am interested to see you make videos about full sus MTB different setup for 90% and 100% road use instead of purely for trails or offroad.

[Trailzof]

What size bike is your Canyon, and how tall are you?

[Alexandros_Patsialidis]

Hey Neil, why is your bike so loud (rattly)?

[MultiTerrainBike]

pumping is very hard for a lightweight person like me

[odednizan]

Isn't that what we are all working on?

[ssd_junior]

How do you remove a stuck seatpost off a cardon frame ?

[chrissugg]

Over complicated. You want more speed, ride a hardtail. #hardtailbrosunite
