- Welcome back, you beautiful people.
Today is a very serious video,
and we're talkin' about, the full suspension bike.
Yes, a bike with rear suspension, and front--
(bike buzzes) Front, front.
Hang on, did you just see,
did you just see that glitch on your screens?
What's wrong with my--
(bike buzzes)
What the hell are those? (laughs)
("Phantom Love")
♪ It feels like you're around me ♪
(presenter yells)
Lean back!
That's right.
The soft tail or the hard nose.
Up to you, forks are called hard nose.
Oh wow.
The only we're going to get to the top is if we climb.
You know what, I reckon this is going to perfect at climbing.
No bob on the front, sit back, loads of traction on the rear
with the suspension.
If I just sit back, relax and,
have a nice, little warm-up for my wrists I reckon.
'Cause hell, it's going to be rough.
Right, you know that famous saying,
what comes up, must go down.
I'm going to chuck myself in the deep end,
I'm going full end, all cards in, everything,
I'm going to go down this horrible black run,
super rough, super gnarly.
Let's see what this can do,
and at the bottom, there's jumps.
So I'll hit them, I will.
Watch this.
Uh!
Oh my gosh that hit off my shoulder!
Ow!
Oh!
(fast-paced electronic music)
That is a bit weird, it's like
it's rough, it's sending huge shocks through your arms,
'cause you think, right,
I'm on a full suspension bike,
I've got suspension, hell no,
as soon as you hit somethin', it literally comes through ya,
and you're like gah, gah, gah.
But, then when you land off a drop,
and there's few little drops down there,
they're like, when the back suspension goes in,
the bike opens up so it feels like it's going to roar,
so it's like a slingshot really.
Weird.
I want to try that again.
(heavy-metal music)
Oh my gosh.
Aw!
(heavy-metal music)
Ah!
Lean back, lean back, oh!
D'ya know it's weird, it's bumpy,
but if I just dig my heels in,
and let the back suspension work,
and love the back wheel,
a little bit more,
it's weirdly you can ride it.
Weird.
(bike tires scraping on the ground)
(heavy-metal music)
Whoa!
When is this going to end?!
Uh!
Oh, (presenter laughs) goodness me,
even my helmet has moved off my head.
Not going to lie, it didn't feel as bad as it would look like
on the bike.
The only thing is, when it gets super rough like there
where I need grip, I have none on the front,
I'm tryna dig in my heels,
and it's so weird like when you're riding,
you can actually feel the suspension moving
when you have a full sus,
it's just like, you're moving anyway.
But now I can feel the back end working
a hell of a lot more,
'cause I haven't got any front forks, look at it!
Terrible!
But not as bad as I thought.
Right, jumps!
(fast-paced electronic music)
Whoa!
(presenter blowing his lips)
It just feels like I got endless suspension,
it just goes roarrrr.
Strange.
Very strange.
Not going to lie, that is strange.
I might have to do some more warm-ups on that.
But,
I just no words.
It's weird.
Weird.
It's like, it's like witchcraft it's that weird.
That's how strange the bike feels.
Uh!
Let's try again!
(fast-paced guitar music)
Whoa!
(presenter gently laughing)
Okay, it feels weird 'cause we've spoken about like
how to jump and pre-load your suspension in a lift.
Like pre-load in this, it just feels like it's just going
like up like this, it continues forever,
you can't, it's so weird, I think
I'm warmed-up.
Shall we go hit some bigger jumps?
Yeah?
Let's get some bigger jumps.
Bigger jumps, yes!
I, I dunno why I said it,
but I like a challenge,
and for the hard nose or soft tail,
the hard nose thing, I'm going to challenge on this,
this is called Mr Rootys, these got some big jumps,
so we got a big step down over there,
you got this tabletop here,
and this it goes a little sharp fin, bum, bum
and then there's a road gap, just down the bottom
which, I dunno.
But it ends up in the car park which,
that's where I really want to be right now.
Just chillin'.
Probably put my arms in a big bucket of ice,
- [Man] Aw.
- 'cause it's really horrible.
So, let's do this.
(presenter gently laughs) Let's see what it's like.
Uh, road gap though, what.
Here it goes.
Ah!
Uh.
Oh!
Ooo!
Oh my gosh!
Aw!
(bouncy trumpet music)
Whoa!
Oh my gosh!
Oh no, that's just.
This, this is a bit tacky.
I had no grip coming through there.
I have to push up, I have to do this little gap.
Obviously, we jumpin' over a road.
(bike wheels spinning)
Aw!
Ah!
Horrible!
Whoa!
(bike tires skidding on the ground)
Ah.
(presenter takes a deep breath in)
All right.
Wooo!
Hard nose.
Dunno if I would recommend it,
maybe that's why they haven't designed
or built a bike like this before.
But us guys that gym, yeah,
and me, I love doin' this sort of funny, random
bike stuff.
Ah, to be honest,
conclusion, Roughstuff, not that bad,
but when it got rough,
and I need to grip on the front,
I had no grip, it was bouncin' everywhere.
Specially doing the jumps,
super weird.
Like, very weird.
And then coming through is just bouncing,
it's like one of those '80s fat-burnin' strap things
you put round you
and you're just doing that (vibrating).
Bingo wings, if you have any, put these on
you'll never have them ever again (laughs gently).
Right, if you want to stick around,
you want to click that globe to subscribe,
'cause you're actually missing out on some rad content,
and if you want to see another funny, weird video
where I try to do a fixed hard turn on the trails,
I wouldn't recommend that either,
but, watch this one right here,
give us a thumbs-up, like,
let us know in the comments down below,
what else we should do on our GMBN random build thing,
maybe a fully rigid bike,
let us know.
Alright, I need some ice.
I'm going to ice my arse.
