Having ridden dirt jumps bikes my whole life, I believe most of the challenge Matty has is because of the Fireball's "extremely" long chainstay measurement compared to other Dirt Jump bikes. It measures at 415mm, when most Dirt jumpers are in the 385-400mm range. So the chainstay length is basically an inch longer than a standard dirt jump bike. Matty's difficulty isn't because of the wheelbase, it is because of the chainstay length. Most dirt jump bikes are much easier to 180 and 360 because of the shorter chainstay. Imagine doing a 180 on a bmx bike with a full inch longer chainstay, its the same issue on the MTB.
Nice of you to take all this data. Im also and old street mtb rider with a Blackmarket riot. I was wondering this because Matty shouldnt have so much problem pulling the manuals. Also add some higher bars could help on that. My flat 360s always have the same problem that hes having.. I throw down the rear wheel so much sooner
Loving the MTB love on this channel lately! So cool to see Matty taking a shot at it. It must be quite jarring going from bmx to mtb as much as he has been tho haha
@@Onlydansmtb If you mean me, I know, but he said hardtail and bmx bikes are hardtail also, so that's nothing new on the channel. If you mean him, dirt jumpers are hardtails.
Speaking of Pilgs, he actually put pegs on one of his old NS bikes a while back. He’s not a bmx guy, so his tricks were a little limited. But we all know Pilgs can shred a skatepark. Tom Cardy is another rider who does well in pump tracks and skateparks.
Be good to your brothers, my brothers. Scotty & Matty are a great example for all of us - if you have a little bro, encourage him and support him and love him through thick and thin. And if you have a big bro, do the same.
Can someone just acknowledge that when Matt did the 540 he didn’t turn his head dramatically? I’d think spinning a big bike you’d pretty much need to twist your head like a bottle cap haha idk
Some tips for Matty on a dirt jumper: first off, pump the tires WAY up. Even though it's a mountainbike you should see it as a big bmx. I'd say at least 3 bars in each is what you need. For the rest, keep the front suspension very very firm. Like WAY over the manufacturers guide. It need to be stiff and responsive.
as someone who grow up riding dirt jumpers but is also a fan of bmx this is so awesome!!!!!!!! they are hard to find now cuz its kinda a old school dirt jumper thing but try finding some 24inch rims and tires that used to be a popular chouse for street dirt jump riders you also could find ridge forks like bmx forks but for dirt jumpers then that woud really turn your dirt jumper into a street jumper
I use to ride my built mountian bike at skate parks u seem to get alot of looks when ur on a 26 inch mud tire with disc brakes and front and back shocks at a skate park
What I do when I switch between bikes is I first do a couple of bunnyhops then a couple of manuals. Those two moves should kick your brain in and make you adjust properly.
I have 2 bikes a bmx bike and a 180/180mm travel enduro bike with dh geometry and 29” wheels that feeling switching between the 2 is a lot when switching back to the bmx when I do my first bunny hop back on it it always feels like I am about to go otb
Scotty looks very healthy in his face, like I didn’t watch for 8 months for some mental health reasons, and I come back and he’s got fuller cheeks. He looked so thin before.
3:40 - The reason you're landing back heavy is because you don't have the front fork locked out like it should be for "tech" riding on a dirt jumper.... Try locking the fork and see how that changes the bike. 😁
the rotation of the wheels has a bit more gyroscopic force plus the extra weight so if you do a spin or tail whip, you can pull the brake and it comes around a little easier.
I took a break from the channel for awhile. I love bmx but our family has really gotten into mtb. 5 kids and my wife. I'm very stoked about the channel lately. I get bmx, mtb, some gravel-bikes. It's just so great to see your overall love and passion for cycling. Maybe this old man should add a bmx bike to the mtb and gravel-bike collection. Thanks for the hard work scotty and matty.
Good tip: grab some bars with a little more rise to them so you’re not leaned over the front so far. I wanna see you find some big dirt jumps to ride, see if you think the bigger bike feels better on big jumps.
Especially now atleast at the Crankworx level, slopestyle courses changed ALOT recently. 3 out the 4 diamond series events had all sorts of BMX inspired features (dirt half-pipes, satellite dishes, all sorts of things). Innsbruck is still just a line of huge DJ jumps. But Whistler, Cairns, and Rotorua were all very unconventional / BMX inspired this year. Also urban events like District Ride are inherently very BMX inspired
I have a feeling Scotty might end up on a dirt jumper as well, he has been riding a few different bikes lately and a dirt jumper is a lot of fun. At first with my bikes it felt weird jumping from bike to bike but now I swap from each one easily. It's fun to try the same route on the different bikes because of their different characteristics. Matty, I think will love having the choice of bikes to ride.
Yea I can't tell if scotty is super bossy or just always trying to help his friends and little brother progress to new things faster? Either way great videos.
Don't know if you read these comments anymore, but can you do an equipment check video, like you used to do bike check videos. All the stuff behind the scenes that make these videos. Why you chose what you chose, and what you have improved upon over the years. Thanks, bought a LITTLE of my own equipment to start a cycling channel. Some education from you would be appreciated..
DJ's just feel at home on dirt. 20's feel perfect in the skateparks in my opinion. I have 4 different type bikes. They're all fun for their intended purposes.
I used to ride a DJ bike with a 26 wheel in the front and a 24 in the back. For grinds, I removed all the pins off one side of the pedal and would grind the bash guard and pedal. I love seeing a DJ bike on the channel. Keep it up!
hey Scott, I'm at a loss for words. around 2011 i picked up BMX and progressed slowly - riding a lot of street and park stuff locally slowly getting really good, I fell in love with a lot of creators and what I considered my idols in BMX and took it as inspiration to ride and get better. entering high school around 2016. I vividly remember attending a youth program for some shenanigans I pulled and got in trouble for and while riding in my parents car on the way to this I remember pulling up TH-cam for the car ride and seeing the video of your accident. I was heartbreaking and went to show anything can happen at anytime and I was saddened that one of my hero's probably wont be on a bike again. fast forward present time, randomly opened a yt tab and saw this as the first recommended! I can not believe the mountain of obstacles you've overcome in this recovery journey and the fact that your almost 100% yourself! congrats on the channels success and the success of your accomplishments along the way of your recovery and i hope for more goals to be crushed in the future. i no longer ride as i dont have the time with life things atm but i still am always interested to see what you guys are up to. where'd Stevie Churchill disappear to? xoxo - un11
I live in ft myers and have always watched your videos. My local park has demolished a rollerhockey rink and is blank now. Want to comission a small skate park in its place and would love if you were part of it
Cool vid. I woke up my dirtjumper's handling by narrowing the wide ass bars to shoulder width. Really improved the handling in the park and the pumptrack both.
bar width is super personal preference and also has a lot to do with body shape/height... but a DJ bike doesn't need anything larger than 750mm (26 1/2")
It feels so unnatural manualing on my 26 inch cruiser. Seems like if I lean back hard enough to actually balance, I'll just loop out and that's one of my least favorite things to do on my 20 inch.
Matty is a dominant rider dont get me wrong but I honestly think he'd have better chances of getting into the Xgames without TH-cam. Dreams change and I love the channel but I feel like Matty has been held back...
Its awesome seeing Scotty live vicariously thru Matty. I cant even begin to imagine what Scotty would have been able to do on that bike
Scotty would have launched that thing like no one has ever seen
Having ridden dirt jumps bikes my whole life, I believe most of the challenge Matty has is because of the Fireball's "extremely" long chainstay measurement compared to other Dirt Jump bikes.

I am LOVING this era of the channel. Keep up the great work, Scotty and Matty!

Stoked for the HARDTAIL content
Technically a BMX is a hard tail too, since it lacks suspension.
Dj content
bro its a DJ bike.
@@Onlydansmtb If you mean me, I know, but he said hardtail and bmx bikes are hardtail also, so that's nothing new on the channel. If you mean him, dirt jumpers are hardtails.
You just know Scotty would be unreal on that dirt jump bike. Great video as always guys.
This was so fun, I could watch Scotty and Matty all day. What a fun duo.
"what are you trying to say"
"I don't know"
definitely been there when learning new things .
Expanding you already brimming skill set Matty, great stuff.
Freaking good stuff! Matty, you are well on you way, Bud! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Been messing around with a DJ for a while now and honestly LOVE it ….just not at parks. Might wanna try that out at Edge. Glad Matty made it work!
Awesome vid! Can’t wait for the night vid w da boys!
Gotta get sam pilgrim to teach matty some tricks that would be THE DREAM
That collab would take this channel to the SKYYYYYYYYYYYY!
As a dirt jump guy, this is so enjoyable
Love how Scotty gives Matty NO time to doubt himself lol
Best mentor in the game bro
"this is a whole different level"
"I know I'm excited"
😂
Oh yeah.. videos every day. Lovin it
That dirtjumper is really nice!! Great video!:)
Y’all need to hook up with Sam Pilgrim next time he’s in the states. Also, if pegs make it to the dirt jumper a hang five would be interesting.
Speaking of Pilgs, he actually put pegs on one of his old NS bikes a while back. He’s not a bmx guy, so his tricks were a little limited. But we all know Pilgs can shred a skatepark. Tom Cardy is another rider who does well in pump tracks and skateparks.
Be good to your brothers, my brothers. Scotty & Matty are a great example for all of us - if you have a little bro, encourage him and support him and love him through thick and thin. And if you have a big bro, do the same.
I wanna see Matty really rip a bowl with the dirt jumper just because I’ve never really seen that before and it seems really cool
Matty is such a beast and a very very well rounded rider.
Another great one guys.
Good stuff. Ride everything
Yes Matty, would be great to see you try Enduro and DH on mtb 👍🏻
Perfect content for me! I love any bike.
Matty is awesome. That simple.
What up Scotty !!!!!!! Love the vids bro
Video idea, Matty does a trick on a BMX bike then the same trick on the dirt jumper immediately after.
Matty joining the Stark swiss army school of riding

slopestyle next man, be class to see you compete in that discipline.
After witnessing Matty double dribble on at least 50 hang 5's, I'm not sure I'm buying the whole "proximity of each wheel" thing.
Hell yeah. Definitely digging the mtb content
Anyone know the model of the frame Matty is using?
as someone who grow up riding dirt jumpers but is also a fan of bmx this is so awesome!!!!!!!! they are hard to find now cuz its kinda a old school dirt jumper thing but try finding some 24inch rims and tires that used to be a popular chouse for street dirt jump riders you also could find ridge forks like bmx forks but for dirt jumpers then that woud really turn your dirt jumper into a street jumper
Matty try a 22” BMX you’ll love it.
I use to ride my built mountian bike at skate parks u seem to get alot of looks when ur on a 26 inch mud tire with disc brakes and front and back shocks at a skate park
What I do when I switch between bikes is I first do a couple of bunnyhops then a couple of manuals. Those two moves should kick your brain in and make you adjust properly.
That was sick
Matty is taking off with that dirt Jumper!
man, I want a dirt jumper now!
I have 2 bikes a bmx bike and a 180/180mm travel enduro bike with dh geometry and 29” wheels that feeling switching between the 2 is a lot when switching back to the bmx when I do my first bunny hop back on it it always feels like I am about to go otb
Scotty looks very healthy in his face, like I didn’t watch for 8 months for some mental health reasons, and I come back and he’s got fuller cheeks. He looked so thin before.
You should try out the radio sonar freecoaster!
I like those dirt jumper bikes I've been watching Sam pilgrim's videos for a long time not as long as I've been watching yours though Scotty
Matty needs a wheel set asap he’s gonna fold them stock wheels in no time🤣
3:40 - The reason you're landing back heavy is because you don't have the front fork locked out like it should be for "tech" riding on a dirt jumper.... Try locking the fork and see how that changes the bike. 😁
Enjoy Riding Bikes! Great Videos! Thx a lot guys!
the rotation of the wheels has a bit more gyroscopic force plus the extra weight so if you do a spin or tail whip, you can pull the brake and it comes around a little easier.
I think it’s time for you and Matty to meet up with Sam Pilgram!
Regarding Matty's back heavy landing on his 180s, I do the same thing, regardless if I'm 180ing a full on 17KG enduro rig or a jump bike
I took a break from the channel for awhile. I love bmx but our family has really gotten into mtb. 5 kids and my wife. I'm very stoked about the channel lately. I get bmx, mtb, some gravel-bikes.

Can Marty do a proper turn down fuuf ? Would look super awesome!
Bash guard for Xmas Matty? X
so glad your better scotty love you brother
i feel like matty would thrive in a dj competition. he could bring something fresh to dj with his bmx background instead of enduro or downhill
Especially now atleast at the Crankworx level, slopestyle courses changed ALOT recently. 3 out the 4 diamond series events had all sorts of BMX inspired features (dirt half-pipes, satellite dishes, all sorts of things). Innsbruck is still just a line of huge DJ jumps. But Whistler, Cairns, and Rotorua were all very unconventional / BMX inspired this year. Also urban events like District Ride are inherently very BMX inspired
Mate I feel so sorry for you your the man.
Matty you just need to make this bike your 24/7 bike for a few months and then it will be 2nd nature like your BMX..good job !
Man Scott I miss your riding I also miss the subscriber challenge when you hit a new sub count.
I have a feeling Scotty might end up on a dirt jumper as well, he has been riding a few different bikes lately and a dirt jumper is a lot of fun.

✌️
add like 30psi to that fork gotta make those really stuff for skateparks and big hits
look into slater dirt jumpers they have insanely short wheelbases
No barspin? ? ?
Brother love is the best
DJ's just feel at home on dirt. 20's feel perfect in the skateparks in my opinion. I have 4 different type bikes. They're all fun for their intended purposes.
Can uou do same tricks as you can on bmx
Scotty, please get a new shirt for Matty in the next video. We worry about the fungus situation.
I used to ride a DJ bike with a 26 wheel in the front and a 24 in the back. For grinds, I removed all the pins off one side of the pedal and would grind the bash guard and pedal. I love seeing a DJ bike on the channel. Keep it up!
Nice to see you guys mess with the big wheels! Hit us up if you'd like to try a proper 26" Park frame🤘

I wanna know what car matty got
Matty could backflip fly out the new bike, it would please the Oracle.
i am impressed. but....as always. every single bike trick looks better when done on a 20 inch bmx bike. just a fact.
RQ made a video on his thought of the two different bike,
What, no punctures!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Matty Cranmer next xgame gold
If you guys slam that rear end it will be soooooo much easier to manual! 🤙🏼
It feels so unnatural manualing on my 26 inch cruiser. Seems like if I lean back hard enough to actually balance, I'll just loop out and that's one of my least favorite things to do on my 20 inch.
BK shop Matty some hydraulic disc brakes!
I have a YT Dirt Love dirt jumper and live in Fort Myers, FL right near you all and I would love to meet at a park and learn some.
The bike is heavier so that’s why it’s back heavy on tricks
Next up: flips and whips. Oh, and a trials bike.
@ 9min 50 seconds into the video I'm calling a flair challenge
Mongoose love
Anyone else notice the hair at the end 😂😂😂😂
Shoutout Danny Mcaskill 🌶
Funny bunny
Looks like the brake disk is installed the wrong way round.
Matty is a dominant rider dont get me wrong but I honestly think he'd have better chances of getting into the Xgames without TH-cam. Dreams change and I love the channel but I feel like Matty has been held back...
Maybe the saddle is to high.
Sam Pilgrim would be proud! 😀
Dirt jumps?
