This channel is more for me than it is for you, but if you like sub par mountain bike riding, heavy breathing, stupid crashes, and bad commentary, you’ve come to the right place! All jokes aside, I’m just looking to become a better rider, check out new trails, have fun with friends, and have a place to view/document progression. I figured if these videos help anyone else or provide entertainment, that’s cool too. 🤙🏻
Currently Riding:
2024 Trek Slash 9.8 T-Type Gx AXS Gen 6
2023 Trek Fuel Ex 9.8 Gx AXS Gen 6 (Mullet)
2023 Trek Checkpoint AL5
2019 Trek Farley 5
I’m running the PNW Components for my bar and stem on the Farley, Fuel, and Slash (New Loam stem and 38 mm rise carbon bars). I don’t have enough good things to say about this company and the products. They are the best!
CushCore Pro is installed on both the Slash and Cushcore Trail is installed on the Fuel. I’ve loved this and felt it’s made the ride quality much better. Tailored Ride Wrap on both the Slash and Fuel.

Crunchy Rocks Ride - Trek Slash Gen 6
I’m always messing with my stem stack height trying to find what feels best and gives me the most control/front wheel grip. After changing to PNW’s new Loam Carbon 38mm rise bars and new Loam 32mm stem, I figured I should try out a couple different stack heights again to see what feels best. I thought with the shorter stem and higher bars I would need to go lower with the stack height, but I was surprised that the higher stack height felt better, even on relatively flat trails. I can imagine it would only feel better on steeper, more high speed, trails. I’ll be running it higher for a while to see how I like it.

This was a big bucket list trail to start working on. Glad I was finally able to get up on a non-race weekend to dedicate time chunking out this trail. Big thanks to my buddy Garret who came back from the PNW and was just as stoked to work on each feature with me! We left a few features to come back and conquer for the next time!

Testing the GoPro Hero 12 Max Lens 2.0 mod in both 24 FPS and 30 FPS | Trek Slash Gen 6
มุมมอง 1264 หลายเดือนก่อน
I had been curious and wanting to test out this Max Lens 2.0 mod as well as the 24 frames per second setting vs the standard lenses and 30 frames per second. I will probably try out the lenses for a little longer and I like the 24 FPS at the moment after testing. The footage seems to look a little faster and more how it feels while riding.

Where is the bike park located? I just ordered my first vigilant tire today. Can't wait for nice weather. Thanks
I've been watching your videos, do you think the Trek Slash Gen 6 is a good option for doing enduro races? Do you feel the weight a lot? Is it agile? Climbs well ?
@@lourencovalezim6218 I mean it was the bike that Hattie Harnden, Trek’s pro enduro racer, just won the Enduro World Cup series on. It depends on what kind of trails your enduro trails are and what you want to prioritize. If you want to prioritize going fast through the tough, chunky, steep sections of the trail and to feel stable in super fast sections, the slash is perfect for that. It does pedal well for a big bike, the anti-squat helps with the pedaling, and I feel it is a surprisingly agile bike for how big it is. It does have a longer wheel base so some of the tight corners aren’t quite as fast, but that is what all bikes compromise with being better at high speed and good through the rough steep chunk. Hopefully, that helps and gives my perspective on some of those questions.
@@BeachModeBiking ok, thanks
Really nice riding and video quality, mind if I ask what kind of camera setup do you us?
I used a GoPro Hero 8 on a GoPro Chesty mount. If you look at @ShredYard on TH-cam, he has a video on GoPro settings that I used, for the most part.
These trails look like so much fun. Where is this at?
@@aledskaMTB Standing Rocks, WI
still running the gen 6 slash as a full 29er?
@@themiddleagemasher8108 yes, looking to go back to full 29er on the fuel too.
Looks like so much fun
Nice shots of a fun day!
Hell yeah! Great work. Big day of progression🎉
@@aweldum thanks man!
No road cycling footage makes me sad 😉
@@Jedpack haha I figured you would have that genre on lock! 👑
Where this at?
looks like awesome trail and great riding!
I’m so happy you posted this, I just bought a gen 6 slash last week and hardtail pride is my favorite jump line ever, and I can’t wait to go to Marquette again in the spring!
@@mattknowski1615 such a fun trail! I want to get a lot more reps on it, along with the other trails at that trail head to smooth everything out.
sick trail😀
Great riding! Bummed I had to miss this one. Next year though! Also, what class did you race?
@@mittenmod thanks! I raced the Open/Expert class.
@@BeachModeBiking nice! Hopefully I’ll see you there next season
Fall riding, bud! 👌
I wanna see your bike setup
Killed it out there Alex!
@@aweldum thanks man, you too!
Nice riding!
Nice!🔥
Do you reccomend ringle to new mtb riders?
@@gxbrl0 yup! Lots of options to progress, but not a lot is mandatory.
I also ride my second Remedy (MY19 and 22) for 3 years now and love this bike so much. Its the perfect allrounder.
Also fell off the East woopidy bridge last week lol
DUDE! Great rides. Also loving the Slash content.
Good riding dude! I was supposed to race it with Marquette but I’m gonna wait until next year to do these. Glad to see you didn’t have any of those Gen 6 Slash chain issues. See you there next year!
How is the slash gen6 in climbing?
@@baryon9446 similar to my Fuel Ex Gen 6. It was a lot better just sitting and spinning up hill than I thought it was going to be.
@@BeachModeBiking any difference in tge reach?
Well done and thanks again for all you did to make the race happen!
Great job!
Awesome riding Alex! Super cool footage!
Alex you look dang fast! 😮
Awesome riding!
First! See you soon!
Lots of improvements to hextables this year!
Nice riding man. How did you get your slash to be so quiet? I have a gen 6 and it makes the loudest clanking noise on compressions.
Fun was definitely made on this one
Absolutely sending. Gonna be a fun run
Looks fun!
Gonna come ride this week?!
Rippin! You got a sub. Can’t wait to race this in October. Also what class are you racing in this?
Open/Expert
NICE!!!! I have a Trek Fuel EX and just waiting for the parts to arrive and mount a 27,5 real wheel too.
I ride spirit all the time, I think next year I'll sign up for this! Looks like a blast. Question - do you like the T-type drivetrain (when it's not disconnected after crashing)? Thinking of getting one.
@@matth8924 I love the T-Type! I think it was all the dust that got into the battery port area when I crashed because I cleaned it out and it’s working again.
Sick of people telling me to uplift and pump the speed I need....How is it possible to ride on a torn acl... it has to be torn because i can't walk without a double sprung sleeve....its devastating to me cus it was my sole JOY in life apart f my son n fam...but i see people who are claiming torn acl but im a dog ..but still cant take the grinding pain and still call enjoyment on it ..i guess the guys riding a CLAIMED acl are competing. It was just high level life to me ..ive sat and watched a 10k haibike big nduro with all the trinkets n whistlepops go dry inside the tyres ..not been on it .. devastated...EDITS .I've gone from 14 stone to 18 and it's got me drinking liquor f the first time in my life. On my own .feel beat. Yeah it's done me f sure .I'm UK n the hospital won't touch me...wish I had USA med insurance to get a cadaver drilled in .my life's fallen apart
Sucks and blows and then some. It's been a major event..rob am on the verge of a major breakdown. Depression, crying a lot. .damn I miss it. Nothing fills the hole ..was thinking throttle conversion..but I'm so down I'm finding it hard to think straight. ❤
Making mine a 29er as well. Can’t wait. She shipped just today !
Sweet! Let me know how you like it!
@@BeachModeBiking what state are you in man.... sweet looking trails

Did you ever ride the gen 6 in the mullet config?
Nope, knew I wanted it for racing enduro and figured it would be better full 29er. I swapped the mullet wheels on to my Gen 6 Fuel right away
@@BeachModeBiking I’m a trek guy and I’m contemplating just ponying up for the bont 29 carbon rear
yeoooo
I just ordered my gen 6 9.8 is large. I got the darker green color though.
Dude I’m picking up a gen 6 slash after watching this. Just one question. How does she pedal. ??
Pedals really well for what it weighs. After my second enduro on it, I felt more fresh from the climbs than I did on my fuel. The geo and anti-squat makes it very smooth to sit and spin uphill on.
Fellow owner here, I got the gen 6 (8) decked out with some dh casing tires and bit heavier breaks, it weighs 17 kilos in size L. I can say that you literally don't feel the weight while climbing, super nice position on the bike and the geo makes it a real nice ride.
@@hugobrorsson855 how tall are you.
188cm
@@hugobrorsson855 so I just ordered the 9.8 size large and I’m 5’11 or about 175 ish ? Cm. Thoughts. I also ride a large Gen 6 fuel ex fyi
Soooo , I'm considering this EXACT bike.... I also have a gen 6 fuel ex... The weight does scare me a bit but great review.... My poroblem is I live in Northern Virginia and its more traversy and not a ton of big DH UNLESS you head to W. virginia , Bryce park or hte Ferederick Watershed.... I needd just a do it all rig.. trail / park/ chunk ... this a winner ?
This bike pedals way better than I expected. Very confidence inspiring and very natural feel while jumping. If you have a Gen 6 Fuel, this bike pairs really well with it when you want to hit bigger trails.
Where is this?
Marquette, MI
👍
What light are you using?
The Bontrager Ion Pro.
is the 8 still good ? i think it will be my first mtb bike, i found one for 700 euros
The 8 is still a great bike, you would just have room to upgrade components as you go if you wanted.
@@BeachModeBiking like what the brakes pedals stuff like that ?
