Man, you were flying in that section just before the tree took all your kinetic energy. That was a savage crash, amazed you got back up but glad your okay. Keep up with the vids, always entertaining and great riding.
It looked like he found the limit of his suspension, kinda pogoing him into that tree at high speed. Pretty impressive how he bounced off the tree and rolled! Good fall. Holy fck bro 👊
Definitely thought the qualifying run was the race run & was so puckered the whole way down waiting for you to hit the tree LOL. Still can't believe you're ripping DH so hard on that little trail bike, but stoked to see it!
Man this video was sick, big fan of all the stuff you do man. Fresh to see all this. Glad I found ya channel mate! The wreck was brutal, literally was typing this and BAM 💥 SUCKS it cut ya short. Keep em coming boss
DH.... Down Hill not Defensive end, seriously though that tree 🌳 didn't stand a chance😉 A very impressive debut Dude, you definitely left an impression 😎🤙
was watching moi moi tv and saw you flying around, good to see you in the mix. glad you're ok after the tree, dean Lucas got bodied yesterday in snowshoe on a tree, scary shit
@@cosmicbackwoods I saw a couple of the with NSP logos. Despite getting some hate for being sticklers, certified patrollers are really good at mountain extract. Saw a group of them practice pulling sleds through the upper part of National at Stowe.
This was by far the most fun and engaging video I have seen in a LONG while! Its really insane that you rode, hellihsly fast, on that tiny little trail bike. RESPECT! Also - love your energy and sence of humour "..I accomplished my goals of not qualifying last. And now the pressures on to acutally finish...not last""We are going straight into Racer J's final run of the day...potentially ever."😂😂 By the way. Did you need to do a full rebuild of that poor rear wheel? All spokes looked....traaaashed!
To me that kind of riding doesn’t look fun at all but it is impressive to watch the top riders go down a course like that at full speed. More power to them and stay safe.
That was one Hell of a hit you took there Jay. Glad you're OK. Glad the Cannondale team looked after your wheel for you. Great video though. That was a pretty cool track. Love the whip action.
Holy crap Jay, i thought you'd broken yourself for sure on the tree. So great to see you having a crack at anything. I'm in Paris for the weekend. Went to a skate spot and there was a flea market there with tons of people. So I got a stunt scooter for $10 to cruise around on instead of walking everywhere, which is tons of fun. Found another spot, but no one on bmx, which was a little disappointing, but hey.
Love it ❤ i like to see how the bmx person tries to downhill , they already has the basic bike skill mix together might be a good thing, same like Brad Simms does
I was about to say I seen Moi moi roasting your weapon of a chin mount at the whip off but I guess you seen it LoL you looked fast for a short travel guy in a DH race untill that tree, got lucky there
Dude……. On a fricken single crown mid travel trail bike…… you’re an Animal!! Great Job Mr. Dalton. 👏 And plus you got to cut a lap with Wynn Masters on the DS course. That would’ve been such a rad lifetime experience by itself. Idgaf what anybody says, Mountain biking is the Shit!
Props man. You got a big ole brass set. I know plenty of guys, myself included that would freak out to have your skills. You got a subscriber after manhandling that tree.
GNARLY 🤙Glad you’re okay! Looks like you hit the limit with that Trail bike! I’d love to see you doing some slopeduro mods on it and flying it with your bmx steez and tricks 🔥 But I guess something FR/Superenduro like O1 Brrap would work for you much better 🤙
Dude, that was pretty epic, you did not finish but you are a legend with your positive view. I raced BMX, also did some XC before I switched to DH and now in my mid 50s race enduro just for fun as long as you race you always win. you got a one more Sub from this vid.
I was there with you Jay! I was clenching & grinding my teeth when you were bombing the downhill. I’m glad you didn’t wreck wreck yourself hitting that tree.
i recently subscribed coz i remember from Skills with Phil channel. First video that I watched was with your new bike and with the way you were riding i thought you could do some racing, Then I saw this vid. That other bike suits better for this kind of trail or even a proper DH bike and no doubt you'll be smashing these trails . Looking forward to more videos...including future race events....
The fact that you were bombing lines and getting swaggy on a trail bike in a track designed for bikes with at least like 30mm more travel is insane. This event should be a yearly thing you do and every year you come in with 10mm more travel each time 😂😂😂.
Going that hard on a 130 bike is actually insane. You must have been holding on for dear life. If you had a full-blown DH/Enduro bike, you would actually place pretty well.
Once the course started to break down I was definitely holding on for dear life, hahaha. After qualifying it was way too rough. Definitely want to try again with a bit more suspension :)
I always watch this sort of thing and think it's the closest thing to rallying on two wheels. Do you fully memorise the full course with the runs you get before or are there certain bits you are dealing with on the fly each time?
It really is. I did my best to memorize the layout, but it’s hard to remember every line you have to take and rocks/roots/stumps to dodge. With so many people on the course it changes A LOT every single run (as I experienced in my finals run 😂)
I was hoping you left that thing in the woods Jay, I’ll have no choice but to go on a crack binge and drink md2020’s to cope with this during the bmx drought.
Respect bro! Realistically you can't be competitive in DH on a 130mm travel bike, even with the perfect run the rocks will be slowing you down a bit more than someone on a 200mm travel bike. Its a decent bike for dual slalom and whip-offs though (or 'speed and style' for that matter). Have you ever tried entering any Crankworx comps? That crash could have been a *lot* worse, did you see Dean Lucas' similar crash the other day in Snowshoe?
Thank you :) I haven't been to any of the Crankworx stuff but I might actually practice slalom a bit more and try one of those races. Luck was definitely on my side for that one. Could definitely have been a lot worse. And yeah, Dean's crash was bruuutal. Thankful he's going to be ok.
Man, you were flying in that section just before the tree took all your kinetic energy. That was a savage crash, amazed you got back up but glad your okay. Keep up with the vids, always entertaining and great riding.
Yeahhh that tree was not good for my time, haha. Thanks you very much, Paul 😄
Holy shit that tree pad saved you 😮 that was nuts
It looked like he found the limit of his suspension, kinda pogoing him into that tree at high speed. Pretty impressive how he bounced off the tree and rolled! Good fall. Holy fck bro 👊
seen that clip of you hitting the tree all over the internet, didn't realise it was you! Jay, king of the virals. took it like a champ 💪
Being underbiked is sometimes fun, but this was very impressive! That was a brutal slam but great riding also!
John is my favorite big wheeler now
John gets down
Dude, this content is fcuking awesome! You're a mad man
Definitely thought the qualifying run was the race run & was so puckered the whole way down waiting for you to hit the tree LOL. Still can't believe you're ripping DH so hard on that little trail bike, but stoked to see it!
Loving the medium bike shenanigans. Great stuff Jay
That was actually extremely impressive on that bike!! Glad you're ok!
All that practice crashing on foam really paid off!
Great vid! That was really fun.
That tree clip was so worth the hit but how you are alive after that is beyond me 🤯Keep at it John, glad you're okay!
"nice chill run" 🤣
Yeahhh should have listened to myself
Man this video was sick, big fan of all the stuff you do man. Fresh to see all this. Glad I found ya channel mate!
The wreck was brutal, literally was typing this and BAM 💥 SUCKS it cut ya short.
Keep em coming boss
I have absolutely no idea how you walked away from that... chuckling! The post office is full 'cause you did all the sends.
DH.... Down Hill not Defensive end, seriously though that tree 🌳 didn't stand a chance😉
A very impressive debut Dude, you definitely left an impression 😎🤙
An impression in the tree 😂
was watching moi moi tv and saw you flying around, good to see you in the mix. glad you're ok after the tree, dean Lucas got bodied yesterday in snowshoe on a tree, scary shit
Moi Moi TV we like dat shiieeet! Dean's crash was terrifying, mad props to the Snowshoe Medics!
@@kolt4d559 for real, that one medic took control of situation so well

Hell yeah man!! Def gotta get a DH bike for all the park/races ;) Keep at it!
Racing your first DH as a pro is no small task. Glad to be the guide for your first practice😂 also glad your ok after that heavy one
Thank you very much for the guidance 😂 Missed you on race day but hope it went well for ya’
I love the pee your pants bit at 18:16 finals day 😂😂👏🏼
Absolute madman, doing this in the first place, and doing it on a non-downhill bike
To me that kind of riding doesn’t look fun at all but it is impressive to watch the top riders go down a course like that at full speed. More power to them and stay safe.
Awesome vid! I always wondered what pov. for downhill racing looked like. Thanks for posting.
I tense up more watching these MTB vids than when you're on your motorbike. You be safe out there Jay, if that's even your name.
I could see you being super steezy on a DH bike like Dylan Stark
Nahh Dylan is another level 😂
@@jaydalton you need a weed sponsor first, work your way up LOL
I feel like I went to sleep and woke up a week later.... Thank God I have these daily uploads to keep track of my days. 😂
Some days are longer than others. No worries happy to be of service
@@jaydalton - True but I could also look at this way.... I didn't hit a tree today so that's a plus. 😆
Bmx, moto, mtb. Jays a freak. Love the lad
:)
Very epic sir john. Would love to see more mtb racing:)
That was Rad! I was on edge during the whole thing. Glad you are OK.
jay that was a good effort!!! lm glad that the tree didn't hurt you !!! keep up the great vids!!!
Man that tree hugging was savage! 🤣
I'm an extreme nature appreciator
That was one Hell of a hit you took there Jay. Glad you're OK. Glad the Cannondale team looked after your wheel for you. Great video though. That was a pretty cool track. Love the whip action.
Great video as always sir..glad you’re all good after fighting that tree! 🫡
That crash was mental, think I watched it over like 10 times dunno how you even got up from that!! Would love to see more of you on the mtb
Holy crap Jay, i thought you'd broken yourself for sure on the tree. So great to see you having a crack at anything. I'm in Paris for the weekend. Went to a skate spot and there was a flea market there with tons of people. So I got a stunt scooter for $10 to cruise around on instead of walking everywhere, which is tons of fun.
Found another spot, but no one on bmx, which was a little disappointing, but hey.
Glad you're ok. Looked like you were having fun. Video was awesome!
That qualifying run was SICK!!!
Would be unreal to see what you can do on a proper Enduro bike. Love the MTB content.
Jay man I didn’t expect you to crash into a tree and get up right away lol you should definitely do this again man!
ONCE AGAIN, JAY WITH A BANGER
😎😎😎
dang this is my second time getting my notifications blown by jay dalton, i feel so cool now@@jaydalton
Ayyy, I was sure I'd seen your face in Moi Moi's coverage. Good stuff!
Hahah they were roasting the gopro setup
Dude slaying on single crown forks absolutely proved yourself
Lumberjack Jay.
trying new disciplines of cycling is awesome, love your have a go attitude
Great to see you racing kiwi legend @wyntv. Keep smashing it Jay
Jack of all trades master of some, this was awesome! Haha 🤙🏻
Love it ❤ i like to see how the bmx person tries to downhill , they already has the basic bike skill mix together might be a good thing, same like Brad Simms does
That downhill shit is totally nuts
Can confirm
I was about to say I seen Moi moi roasting your weapon of a chin mount at the whip off but I guess you seen it LoL you looked fast for a short travel guy in a DH race untill that tree, got lucky there
I saw that dang clip hahaha. Hey the chin duster may look crazy but it makes for some darn good audio

awesome video bro, such a fun watch. Ur insane at mtb

It's the end and my heart rate is just coming down. Love the MTB content Jay. Keep it up man. Seems you need an enduro bike :)
stoked to see this brooooo! but damn that crash! imagine if that foam wasnt there dudddeee. youd be in the hospital in an instant!
Big tree pad fan
Loving the daily uploads
Didn’t know trees could spawn in like that 😂
Darn things are unpredictable
impressive noise cancellation on that microphone to be stood on the course that high up with no wind, heck yeah John!
For sure. If you have a wind muff on the new Gopros the audio is actually pretty decent
Edit: OH yeah my sportscaster mic is next level 😂
amazing video Jay, thank you
Cool to see the Mallen boys doing well. I used to see them every weekend out at Canyons as groms.
nice! was pretty surprised to see Wyn Masters in a Jay Dalton vid
Get this man a dual crown asap!
Such a sick vid mate!! Needed more whip off tho haha
Thank you 😄 And yeah sorry I was a little overwhelmed during that one so didn’t get a chance to record the other riders :(
@@jaydalton Understandable mate, looked absolutely hectic on moi mois vid haha.. You crushed it tho, good stuff!!
good thinking adding 40mm of travel with those loose spokes
😂😂
John Dalton is my spirit animal.

lol had a fellow racer ask me who Jay's sister was last weekend before an XC race. lol Forgot it was on the 'ol hardtail 😂😂😂
Oh Please jay dont die we need more bmx content
I'll do my best
Rockin man! Love it! Time for Cannondale to step up and get you a DH rig. #cannondale
Hardcore Treehugging with JD😅
Great riding Jay ...
Mad respect for racing the DH on a Trail bike
Thank you Rob :)
That bike has not business on that trail 😂 we need to get Jay a proper DH bike something like a Session, a Sender or a V10
Always good content man
shocked i did not see you up there!!! i did hear some youtuber crashed into a tree and lived!!!
Man you are a machine on the medium bike. Definitely the shortest travel bike on that mountain
You’re an absolute legend 😂
You shjould come do Mid South or Unbound bike races. They may or may not be endurance gravel races. But it's like a week of partying before the race!
Grab an enduro for that chunk! Throw XC race tires on the 130mm for a fun thrasher, unless you're already running them on this race!
Good job jay!!!!!
Sick

With so many people on the course it changes A LOT every single run (as I experienced in my finals run 😂)
Is there a reason for all the whistles as you go through the course?
The officials blow a whistle when someone passes so the spectators and other riders know there’s someone coming
@jaydalton thank you for the answer. Love the videos!
You should do another mountain bike video!
Soon™! Just need to get the bike sorted out first. It wasn't a fan of the tree tackle, haha
Great video Jay!
Thanks again good sir :)
Come over to the MTB Jay! We have even higher engagement hubs than bmx lol
Roots in DH are not there for jibs Jay. Absolute smash into that tree, glad you're okay, bikes are fixable people less so
Good effort! Next time, bring a more appropriate bike and win!
Cannondale, time to get Jay on a Jekyll. I mean it even matches his personality, the guy is a mad man.
Bro you were ripping that thang!
I was hoping you left that thing in the woods Jay, I’ll have no choice but to go on a crack binge and drink md2020’s to cope with this during the bmx drought.
Sorry Sam 😂 The BMX drought is still from that dumb airbag crash like a month ago. Ankle was baddddly sprained
Your bones must hate you lol
What an adventure!
Riding that track on a 130mm trail bike is wild. Need to get on a DH for sure
well done john
Thank you, Simon
That was amazing to watch
