@@slipNJloc No. *_Highland Mountain_* Bike Park is in New Hampshire. This is *_The Highlands_* Bike Park in Harbor Springs, Michigan.

Nice 👍

Bunny hop is easier. I can bunny hop, but I can't wheelie for sh*t. Tips: Don't "pull." You actually have to push your body away from the bars explosively and lean back immediately so that bar comes back with you, kinda like how you would do a pushup aggressively enough to get airborne, but while holding a bar and keeping your arms straight after pushing off. As soon as the front wheel starts coming off the ground, you use the bar to pull yourself forward and upright to stand tall like a meerkat. This is when the front wheel ends up going even higher. Do this explosively enough, and the rear wheel will come off the ground as well, at which point you scoop up with your pedals to get the rear over the obstacle as well. Your rear will only go as high as you can get the front up. So practice doing the first part up to the "meerkat" position explosively, and the rest will follow.

Try refilling from scratch while keeping the caliper vertical. Then, do the vacuum bleed. Sometimes, an air bubble gets stuck in the caliper, causing the lever to pull all the way to the bar without engaging the pistons. Filling from the bottom up with the caliper vertical fixes it unless you have a faulty set.

@@dukeofmtb Well, to late. Today i change it with SLX. Its by far an amazing improvement

@@42pac That's unfortunate. Although I'm glad you found something that works now. 👍

Sweet! Thanks for the info. 👍

No clue. I just fill the syringe and push it through from the caliper end until the fluid comes up in the syringe on the lever end. You wanna flush out all the old fluid anyway if you're refilling the whole line, so a little extra isn't gonna hurt.

Thanks!

Thanks, man! Just taking it slow and steady. I get burnt out a lot easier these days. 😅 See ya around and say hi to the rest of the hardtail crew for me. 🤘😁

It's been so long, I don't even remember. All I know is the trails ended at the lot we parked at, so I'd give trailforks.com a good look when you're looking to park.

Thanks for the suggestions

Thanks! 😊

I feel ya man. I went through the same nightmare until I found out about the vacuum thing. Glad I could help. ✌️

@@dukeofmtb Prior to your excellent video I had slimey hands, stuff everywhere and mineral oil on the ceiling. It was a dark time.

​@@TwistededgemediaSounds about right. Lol

We'll check those Melvin jumps out sometime. 👍

I've done it on a couple sets of MT5s. It works, but there's more lever throw than you'd get on a set of MT7s. I eventually upgraded to MT7s with hc3 levers. It's just not the same feel-wise on the MT5s.

@@dukeofmtb Thanks for your reply, it's exactly what I wanted to know ! Cheers

First thing I'd try is to refill the brakes from scratch. Also double check that there isn't anything clogging it up where you disconnected it before. Best of luck. 👍

she is stiff as a board god damn. any faster and that probably would have been pretty dangerous

She knows and has known for a long time. She's been working on it. She just doesn't have a good mind/body connection and struggles correcting things like this. She can't whistle, can't dance, can't snap her fingers, can't projectile spit, can't even cough up phlegm to save her life. We have long suspected she has undiagnosed dyspraxia/ developmental coordination disorder. I've been with her for 17 years, so trust me when I say it's not from a lack of practice or patient coaching. I think she's doing alright considering her disability.

RideWrap makes a matte finish wrap. It's excellent.

Lol. The drop itself isn't necessarily massive, but the landing is steep(you can't tell through the camera footage), and you can easily fly off that berm if you come in too hot on a muddy day. ✌️😉

Lol. Yup. 😅

Killington.

Glad it helped, man. 👍

I'm still hoping they'll open the bike park back up again one day. 🙂

Windrock in Tenessee.

Yeah, we'll hopefully get back to making regular vids later this year. Glad you're enjoying our older content though. 😁👍

Lol. Nah, just different priorities. 😉

Keep in mind that you're comparing top of the line, race ready mountain bikes, vs. regular motorcycles. Take a look at competition level motorcycles, and the price comparison makes more sense. Take a look at Pinkbike.com's buy/sell. You could get a pretty decent bike for 2.5k(give or take 500). My first full suspensiom bike was a used aluminum Trek Remedy 8 that I got for about that price. If you find something interesting in your price range, look up some review videos and go from there. Best of luck. 👍

No, but it's close. You can stop by here if you're heading out to(or coming back from) The Highlands..
