Haha that was still some pretty decent riding man, that trail looks hella fun! Why the hell don't I live in Canada!!

Well, his first problem was thinking he could do it sitting down lol

Most of the dj guys have shin/ knee pads under thier pants I'm pretty sure, so that's why it seems like they don't have much maybe. But yes it is a bad message

Just because the geometry is different than a specialized enduro, doesn't make it outdated. And how is the rocker awkward? In that case, Kona rockers must also be awkward, as would be a Turner rfx and a ton of other bikes that use similar linkage..in my opinion, you should definitely find out for yourself and not base it off of your friend's experience. Suspension performace depends on the shock, how he set it up, and what he is riding. I'm guessing his enduro came with a shock, and he sold the one on his Ellsworth, so I don't see how you can really say one is better of the two when all the factors are so different. On the carbon fiber, they have been making frames out of cf since about 2009/ early 2010...so what does that have to do with them moving off shore?

Well that's the first iv'e ever heard of someone feeling that way about Ellsworth bikes. I personally ride a moment and it's fantastic, it (the frame) is very well made and I would be amazed if it ever broke or had any issues, I love everything about it. One of my good friend's dad rides for ellsworth and he has several ellsworths, like a dare and a rogue, and I've had very good impressions of those too. You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm just curious, what you're saying is you just hated the components on it, but not the frame? Ps: For the record, i think the rare earth carbon thing is nonsense as well even though I like ellsworth, so no need to really talk about that

Why are Ellsworth bikes awful, do you have one?

*cough* fox talas *cough*...

Dang, around 1:30 it looks like Reading was about to eat it pretty good...wonder if he saved it haha

Man..that face plant in the beginning was gnar
