Hardtail vs Dirt Jump MTB at Rays Indoor Mountain Bike Park
Hardtail vs Dirt Jump MTB at Rays Indoor Mountain Bike Park
Which bike should you bring to an Indoor Mountain Bike Park, a Hardtail Trail bike, or a Dirt Jumper? We went to Rays MTB Park to see what the differences between a Hard Tail and a Dirt Jump MTB and how they behave. Bringing the GT Avalanche and the GT La Bomba to the best Indoor Mountain Bike Park gave us the opportunity to test these bikes in Skatepark, Bikepark, and Pumptrack environments.

Who knew the bass player for Spinal Tap made youtube vids about biking.
Hats err helmets off to you and guys like Berm Peak. I’m still riding a 21 year old Schwinn Moab 3, which only has original frame, seat post and handlebars. I’ve been looking at making a change to a 29er. Channels like GMBN seems to consider 2000 dollar hardtails cheap, and Vital don’t seem to consider hardtails at all. But guys like you bring that all back down to earth and make things more welcoming. I’m now in Vietnam, and crazy for a country that is 50 percent mountain, mountain biking isn’t a thing here. the 1000-1200 dollar range bikes deem really limited, with only Giant really here, Trek a little, and maybe Scott. But coincidentally my eyes are also on the GT Avalanche Expert, and maybe a flight to dealers in Philippines when covid allows. Can’t seem to justify a full sus when I have to do some serious road miles just to get off the road.
that’s like 5 million dollars in lumber in 2021
I’ve been here it’s amazing
Can’t say enough good
lol flood prevention system – awesome haha
I really wanna check this place out, it’s only like a 30 minute drive.
i live right by cle this is so cool you where there
Fathom 2 2021 vs labomba ppro 2021?
Obviously your a good rider but the guys I met that were sponsored by GT would have made this look a lot easier. Can GT confirm they sponsor you?
my guy is sponsored by fox and he’s a youtuber what a fuckin champion.
i just want to see if gt avalanche can handle jumps.. kuddos to this 😁
Man I wanna go to Ray’s so bad!! Gonna definitely have to plan a trip to Vermont one of these days…
Best place to ride I ride there sometimes with my race bike pump track is so fun
May I know the specs of the GT Avalanche?
Not entirely scientific, but I feel the wheel diameter had the greatest impact in determining what won.
In my world, 10/10 would not ask themselves that question and just go for the dirtjumper? ^_o
Just get a 27.5 not a 29 wheel setup hardtail.
Anyone know how long the seat post is on the la bomba and max extension?
I think without your amazing looking facial hair and those lion-like looking long hairs, you would be a perfect fit as a Nitz Walsh from undergrads Cosplay
there is no feeling in the world thats just like popping a smooth manual over a well built roller!
Love that park. So fun.
2:54 no one else saw he cheated
Time for a haircut man. I think
Great vid dude! That bike park looks epic too! 🤟
i alsow have a GT avalange 1.0 but it isfrom 2004 or 2005and i have changed the fork to a lite Fox F-series and that made the bike to weight 10 kilos.
Got a gt chucker 2.0 seems alright for an old bike (only bike I have lmao)
Rays used to be in Milwaukee. wish it was still here.
What tires do you have on the GT? Why is it so hard to find tan walls!!!??
i have to get a plane to get to the mtb parkkk😭
Phil is a great dude and also a "full-lipped with a lisp" fella. Lord help him if he ever went to prison.
I want a bike for a little bit of both I’m new to this sport any suggestions? Thank you in advance
Should be 26 inch wheels on both for real comparison bigger wheels change everything
What a beautiful park. I just got a hardtail and I’m loving it!
Dang, couldn’t hear anything over that mustache.
Would be nice to see if there’s any difference at all with the same 26er wheels on both bikes.
My friend did 4 rollers on his dual suspension
Ive wanted your GT force carbon pro for years
I want to learn 360 and more and thinking I need a dirt bike. But I can rebuild my cheap hardtail instead 👏🤗
Do you have anymore videos on the GT AVALANCHE? I just love watching videos of my bike haha
reeeeeee
You in a foo fighter’s tribute band?
If you get a carbon chameleon.. its Geometry is similar to a dirt jumper.. !
Can someone please tell me which forks are on the Avalanche I really need to find some good 80mm forks for my dads bike.
And people say I’m beating up my mountain bike in a skatepark
Would love to see a video on how to buy a bike for beginners… suspension, brakes, grips, tires, gear to wear, gear to bring along … thanks for the videos!
I fell on the drop off at Rays lol gotta get back up & do it again.
I liked Rays alot more on Jump Bike.
I don’t have a hardtail so this decision is kinda easy
Top stuff ! From Australia love your info and how you show and explain . Thank you !
That’s a decline, not an incline.
