Mad respect Tom, well done. More proof of how much fun a hardtail can be. You're an animal.
Thanks Hardtail Party, love your work - Tom
@@pinkbike One day we'll have to ride together. Till then.
I love Toms energy so much! He reminds me of what mtb is all about... having fun!
Cheers Puzox, it's what it's all about! - Tom
More hardtail videos please! Keep the great work guys.
107,000 ft in 24 hours is actually about 3x the height commercial planes fly, 3x more impressive than you thought!
HA cheers Peter, mind blown - My mental capacity was clearly maxed out at the time converting from feet to metres - Tom
Last Weekend I saw a guy ripping the DH-Track on a Dirt jump Hardtail. Hell, that dude was mental.
we need more stuff like this! keep the fun in the sport! The arm pump must have been insane
I would love to see Tom, Elliott Jackson, and Blake Sampson all do a video together.
And all on hardtails!
Ohhh yeah ! Blake is one of my biggest motivation
With Matt Jones too! It would be such a PARTY!
This is absolute MADNESS! WOW!
This makes me even more excited and proud that i "just" have a Enduro Hardtail and not a fancy "full squish"
Tom’s video meta HT inspired me to build one up! Tom you are making some awesome videos! Keep up the awesome work.
That's awesome to hear Jacob stoked, enjoy the new machine! - Tom
Could you Release an uncut video of the full run that Tom did?
I’d love to watch the whole thing!
same
What great choice you picked to ride down that mountain . What a great bike I got mine last year and loving it every since . The meta ht is a beast it can do pretty much every thing you put it through . Great bike and great event !!!
I wasn’t expected to be bombarded with New Zealandish opening a pink bike video, but I ain’t complaining
Damn, this video proves it's not the bike, but the rider! 👊
Pinkbike, can you guys make more hardtail content, like reviews, such races and trips? As a fellow hardtail rider, it's really inspiring seeing what great riders like Tom can do on a humble hardtail.
Cheers! 👊😎
❤️ so good, got myself down the fort William world cup track on the Orange P7 for the first time the other week, bike crushed it, I hung on!
Madness! You're basically saying "I only need the front wheel to control my traction" Nice fishtailing technique for checking speed!
Awesome job mate it looks as sweet as it was in 2004, I love the challenge of this course
Epic effort! Well done mate! I know I could never do that, but it's nice knowing that my META HT could.
My god Tom you are such a legend. So stoked any time a new video comes up with you presenting I'm stoked. Keep shredding!!!
Does anyone else feel that hardtails are back again and in a very strong way too? Reminds me of the hardtails back in the earlier 2000’s
I thought this video was about having a psychotic episode while riding lmao
This video was the reason to ride with the same hardtail in the brandnertal valley. More of this pls
That is impressive. The course and the riding.
That was very fun to watch. How did you like the meta? I am considering getting one.
just sold my META HT today :/ was such a fun bike. needed $$
Insane riding, well done Tom!
This guy is crazy as all get out, never not hooting and hollering. Curious if he did anything with his fork because of the steepness of the trails? To me looked like he was running about 50% into the fork travel most of the time, could have pumped up the fork another 20PSI and added one or two volume spacers to help it sit higher in the travel and keep the HA closer to it's designed static angle.
Awesome man, keep it hardtail👌
Getting the exact same bike in a few days, can’t wait😂
It's wholesome content like this that makes me never want to upgrade to a full sus. Although I may have to look into a more competent enduro focused ht in the future. 🤙
Do it mate, enduro hardtails are so much fun!
@@VentoRdrummeR I've got something in mind. Current HT I'm using for enduro is not quite cutting it with 120mm up front.
The title of this video should be "What else do I have to do, so they can send me the fullsuspension bike already"
Rather see this then crankworx videos. Nice one Tom!
wow! that guy's really good! great vid, thank you for work!
That looked fun.
To me, this is one of the best videos PB has ever produced. This track is so iconic and I know there's a younger generation that doesn't fully understand but Tommy, you crushed it with the mention of season and the integral role that played. Well done mate.
Also, a quick PSA for those who don't know: Anthill films and red bull are doing a full on documentary about Stevie's life and if you know anything about Anthill it's gonna be epic. Everything they touch is🤘 here's a quick teaser trailer for it..th-cam.com/video/KPTLhQ4WqNc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks again for this Tommy! And long live Chainsaw.
Thanks heaps - glad that came across 🙏- Tom
Oh my god. I just saw you in Whistler! Did you just film this this past weekend?
Hey maaaate, yep we raced yesterday. Have not moved far today - Tom
Gonna have to order my meta ht soon
Nice one!!
I dare to do the next DH race on a Surly Karate Monkey
“That was hugggggee” love it dude
Nice one Tom!
That maniacal laugh thou proves hard tail gave you thrills that a full sus don't
Yes Hardtail can Ride DH. 🤟🏻🔥😈
Yay new video
great video boys
Respect 👊🏼 You mad bastard! 😂
great video!
Look ma, no gloves! Pure madness......Better you than me,.
I see those seals Tom someone knows quality equipment
After 10 days of mtb i started riding red donwhills here in switzerland with my xc hardtail.... At the beginning 20 min, after 2 month 8, jn a year ? We will see, i can just say: do it and everyone will respect ya, you first :)))
Legend!
Mental... Love it! 🤙
Well I've got the same bike so I've really got no excuses.... What upgrades do you have? Looks like XX1 cassette, AXS mech and dropper and possibly brakes? Binning the Guide T's was the first thing I did but unfortunately replace them with Code RSC's which are utter shite. Should have got Saint or XT.
Hey Rowan haha don't need to do this kind of carry on to have a good ride on the HT! I'm running the GX AXS drivetrain. Then Code RSC's with a 180mm rear and 200m front HS2 rotor. They were unreal 🤘 - Tom
@@pinkbike right so we've got the same gear. I really don't have an excuse! Thanks for sending it
Can anybody tell me re how to set-up a camera to capture such an amazing video during a biking such as this?
Thanks a lot, you jolly people!
Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines! #KeepBiking
3:25 Chooma sounds anyone?
Anyone notice the human shape just off to his right at 6:27?
"I have my brakes fully on" - that's because you run srams.
Tom have set up you HT with mix wheels?
Hey Enrique, nope running the medium frame in 29 inch front and back. I'm 5'9 on a good day - Tom
kiaora!!!
Tom, what forks are you running?
Iain these are the Rockshox Lyrik Ultimate 150mm, 2 tokens. They go good 👍 -Tom
This looked so horrible 🤣 thanks for suffering so we can watch lol
You need a glove sponsor
Old school real hardcore track
Off course it can, with out even watching
There was a time when suspension on bikes didn’t exist let us not forget.
👌👍
that looks steep even on gopro

Well the answer is yes, will it be comfortable and fast... No...

Who cares about the hardtail. Wear some damn gloves...
I am First
Going gloveless more impressive than going hardtail imo. Great video!
I hate wearing gloves but I'm forcing myself to use them for the sake of my hands right now.
@@ish474 really? Some gloves are reaply comfortable
I somehow transitioned to not wearing gloves anymore.
A few years ago I used to put on gloves when I went to town to get breakfast.
Nowadays I ride bikepark without gloves.
I don’t know how or when it exactly happened, but I feel comfortable and confident without gloves now.
@@Fred_the_1996 I know its not a comfort thing. I've been riding bikes for 35 years and I never have. It's not a bad feeling just a different feel.
Good grips sometimes are enough. And the feel is so much more different, I can see why a lot of riders don't wear gloves
can't wait to get my Meta HT. I'm guessing I won't be able to go that hard but I'm gonna try my best. November can't get here soon enough!!!
That's wicked, enjoy the machine! - Tom
Same with my clash ride. Preordered it for November.
Enjoy the new bike dude, you will amaze yourself how capable modern aggressive HT's are
@@traildogisla I built one already but I wanted a more BMX feel and the Meta had the best numbers. I have 7 bikes... its kind of a problem😪🤣
I'm waiting for my meta am! I've been racing enduro races on my full squish xc bike. Finally upgrading to a bike that is fit for the racing I wanna do!
I’ve ridden full sussers and hard tail tbh the hard tail takes more skill to handle on rough trails but it’s also one hell of a blast leave’s me with more of a adrenaline rush 🤪💪🏻💪🏻
I don't like how clickbatey these titles are, this should just be called "Racing the Psychosis DH on a hardtail" or something in my opinion
Getting my steel enduro hardtail on Thursday!! (it is 1 of 20 ever made)
What is it?
@@64Spokes i think a steel enduro hardtail 1 of 20 made
Nice 👍
@@legionbloodydan8427 thanks man
@@youtubeviewer9523 what is it
I love that 80's synthesizing downhill music, eeeeewwwwwhh!
Let's go Tom and PinkBike, love the vids guys.
That is an insane fast hardtail time. Way to go man! The first time I rode it was on a Kona Humuhumu as a shop dare. Bahaha. Missing the golden bike family.
I knew it was gonna be Tom in this video just cause of title!
Tom loves the type 2 & 3 fun!
“Hardtail Tom” it is then.
hand pump must have been absolutely BRUTAL! Props
With such talented riders, I'd love to hear bike reviews from people like Tom and Christina (though I guess she's sponsored?)
107,000ft / 32,000m is MUCH higher than nearly every plane flies. Jet airliners tend to cruise at around 35,000ft, give or take. Very few fighter jets have made it up as high as 100,000ft.
Pretty sure Jimmy Pleym of Golden BC holds the record for Psychosis on a hard tail
So great to see the hardtail alive !
Planes don't fly at 32,000m 🤣 most planes fly average 40,000ft the highest flying plane to sustain continuous flight at a certain hight is the SR71 and it flew at about 85,000 feet, just saying
So, next year on a klunker?
Single speed, coaster brake, no suspension, beach-cruiser bars.
Oh its been done.
Great bike , rides smooth th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L I added a bigger spring loaded seat to it . Takes a bit of adjusting cables to get brakes and shifting to perfect . I've owned quite a few bikes in the past that were absolutely uncomfortable to ride and they always ended up as garage wall decor . I'm not seeing that with this one. It's pretty light I've only ridden it a few miles but I like it . As for the pedals falling off in the other reviews , the pedal arms are aluminum along with the pedal studs look to be also . I would not overtighten them. I can see it would be very easy to overtighten them and strip the threads right off . All in all I think it's pretty good quality besides the aluminum pedal thing .
Sam Hill, Stevie Smith, Tyler Morland. Someone plays the song...
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Amazing job long live the hard tail
Suspensao muito pequena tem que ser de 180 mm
We need more ht love
Dam! I wanted to beat you to the punch on this! well done!!!!!
♥️♥️
Luv u tom...💪💪🚵♂️
Great video, love the joy Tom brought to it
Cheers C! - Tom
I ride my trusty meta ht down on everything, this bike could survive a nuklear blast!
Love your work on keeping Hardtails stylish!
That entrance doesn't look crazy steep. And then you see the helicopter view and realize it looks like it's a 70% decline lol
No gloves+Hardtail on a downhill track! Great fun
i remember this track from when pinkbike 1st started out
I just ordered a Banshee Paradox V3 and can’t wait, thought about duel sus but quiet honestly hard tail is just far more fun, if I want a duel sus I’ll just buy a motorbike.
