hey you think you can bar spin those or do the handle bars turn 360, not asking you to do a bar spin just asking if possible buying one. thanks!!! good content like always
How are they on groomed trails instead of powder. most of the places rent snow bikes over in New England and have a 3rd ski, just curious how it performs or is it hard to stay upright and carve your way down.
I contacted Scott with TNGNT about 6 years ago. I tried snowboarding and never liked it. I’m an avid mountain biker, so this sport interested me. Scott met me at the ski resort in UT, I got my ski bike rental, and he took me up the lift and taught me. By the first run, I was getting used to it. After the second run, Scott said I was ready to ride alone. After the first day, I was shredding pretty good! I fell in love with it and immediately bought a ski bike from him. I feel lucky because the bike I have is black with Marzocchi F&R suspension. They don’t offer this anymore. I love it and it made me fall in love with the winter, as I finally found a sport to get me through the cold months
I love my ski bmx! The sport of ski biking is amazing and doable for most. It's the power slide and fishing tailing from being a kid on a normal bike that made it click for me. At the point of learning it I also had been able to ski and snowboard for a few years already. so the analysts of any mess up was thought about from both perspectives. I love this content lol
The boot pack up sub-peak is legit. Usually bring a back pack for the snowboard and ski poles to get up there. Kudos to you guys for the slogging it out!
I've never ridden a TNGNT ski bike, but I've ridden a Sno-Go several times. They are quite different in terms of build. What design do you think is better and why?
I built myself a ski bike 3 years ago from a mountain bike, some skis and snowboards for powder. Made mounts for each set with 18inch Simpson ties, Axles and hardware. Absolutely love ski biking. I have snowboarder for 20+ years built this after a knee injury while snowboarding in 2019. So much fun, can't wait to be able to afford an actual engineered ski bike. Great content!
I have my two oldest of 4 kiddos snowboarding and I ski bike. Everyone that asks about my bike also asks if I want to snowboard again, I tell them that it's hard to give up ski biking. It's too much fun!
Yep, same thought I had first time I saw these things. Your right leg would be extended when banking or turning left and vice versa for turning right, maybe helping with balance. And every kid learns to ride a bike, so it would feel more comfortable. I raced BMX so I may be biased a little.
I would love to try ski biking but with a different bike, the one with 3 boards instead of 2 (i forgot the name) that has a linkage in between two boards. This looks fun tbh
I'm just happy for high-quality ski-bikes vids. I still hasn't really taken up here in Québec. Doesn't help that the main MTB moutain (bromont) doesn't authorized them. :/ Je suis juste content d'avoir des vidéos de vélo-ski. Je me sens vraiment seul dans mon coin du Québec . Ça l'aide pas que LA place du vélo de montagne (Bromont) ne les permets pas :/
You say theres like no chance of being invited to the free ride world tour, but red bull and the xgames have shown having someone with closer to average skills, but above average enthusiasm like with steepsteep, it actually just helps show the course and riders off even better while giving even more perspective.
This is my first year ski biking and I love it. However, I don't think I have a strong enough hockey stop. Can you do a video that focuses on your stopping technique? I've seen your ski bike upgrade video in the park and your hockey stop is what I'm trying to emulate.
What makes one of those ski bikes better than a normal trail bike with skis on? It just looks like a strange frame with cheap suspension and not like its really gonna have any benefit over a normal bike.
as much as this has taken off and gotten popular there's still not enough content on these and my local hill has no intention of allowing them anytime soon :( i really want to try looks so fun
The ones in the video are both the Carve 2.0. I have also used the Drift (hardtail instead of full suspension) and I quite liked that as well, especially on powder days. Can't go wrong with either, so whichever fits your budget best is going to be a blast.
I’ve got a Sno-Go and it’s pretty good at being able to get you out of deep pow if you F up and go down something out of your comfort zone, how is this at being able to handle crashing in deep pow then starting again?
I really want to try this out and everyone I’ve talked to says they love it but my one question is how does the jumping feel? I would think that the lack of rotational stability of wheels would make the bike feel awkward in the air.
After my first day I can confidently say that I got a crazy 12 inches of air time. 😂. Ryan says it’s great in the air but takes a bit more skill than a bike to land because, If not done correctly it can slide out on you.
Wonder your thoughts on the bike being full sus Snow is a lot softer than roots and rocks and all the skiers and boarders are used to that direct connection anyways. Seeing that they have flat peddles, would be nice to see brands like 5Ten to make warmer boots. Looks hella fun. Hopefully there are some demo events near me soon.
I own one. It’s a weird feeling at first but since they’re so fast, the suspension is really nice. Also, if you’re used to riding a full sus mtb, you’ll be used to the general feeling of a ski bike already. I also have no problem hitting massive jumps already because I am very comfy on my mtb
There are hardtails available too, just like mountain bikes. I ride a hardtail and it's great. No need for special shoes/boots with the skibike, just wear something warm and snowproof!
I had to up the compression and preload on mine a lot and then it stopped bucking me off when scrubbing. I do feel like a hardtail would have been better
@@stevenhill2204 to be fair the title is “largest mountain”….not largest ski resort….or longest decent of inbounds skiing. Denali is regarded as the largest mountain in North America.
Nice to see you doing more videos on this subject! 🤘🥳 Been riding my old homemade bike a lot more these last few seasons. Been leveling up too! Got a ton of footy but ain't got the time to edit. Full time RF engineer 🙈 Personally, one of my favorite things is to build custom ski bikes out of old MTB's. Adds to the fun coz each one has a different personality 👍😅🍻
Me and my friend hiked up vail mountain in Colorado at 12pm and it was so easy to quit hiking the first run but once you get to your energy high it’s so fun and then we just built some jumps and almost got run over by a snow cat I think the snowcat driver saw us just glad he didn’t report us
The front side of the sub peak hike is pretty far from a double black ski run. The chutes into North Bowl are and I was thinking you guys were suicidal for attempting that. But the title is kinda dishonest with what you actually did.
That name was taken a long time ago by a different style of ski bike. So there are snow bikes and ski bikes. Ski bikes are the most like normal bikes, which is why I much prefer them to other designs!
bruhs.......you should seriously have a leash on those bikes. as a dude that has ridden with the owners, sold, and owns a tangent ski bike.....you really need a leash for when you crash so you don't kill someone with a run away bike.

I can ski, I can bike, but I cannot snowboard. Something about fixed footing throws me way off. This, however, looks friggin awesome.
Lemme guess, you ride flats? 😎
Ski biking is awesome man. I started this season and I already do double black diamonds at my local ski hill
@@QuzieyTube That sounds so fun. I can trick on skis and a little bit on bikes, so this sounds perfect.
@@danielmelilla550 If you call mountains in BC flats, then yes. Very flat.
@@RandysRides no haha, flat pedals
massive props to the guy who made the climb in ski boots
Epic! Now I really want to give this whole ski biking thing a try.
Ya man you've gotta give it a shot!
I’ve been waiting for another one of your ski bike videos ever since watching the last episode . Stoked on this one!
Nice! Glad you liked it.
Would love to see more Ski Biking content. I'm looking for an opportunity to try this out myself.
More to come!
Love the drum and bass
I'm staying at that Basecamp and the one in Banff in just a couple weeks. Super excited!

So sick would love to try ski biking out
I noticed that the chapters say "you should try ski biking" And what mountain was that show in the video?
Revelstoke mtn resort
i think ive been there is that just revelstoke in canada with the big green run the last spike
Boys, you gotta do whistler bike park on ski bikes. A-line on ski bikes, imagine...
We did! But conditions were absolutely horrible haha. There’s a video on it, if you want to check it out.
I'll be ski Biking Pikes Peak when it chills out up there. Ill throw the video your way if it works out.
Wow that sounds unreal!
Even though there's no drivetrain, I think I'd prefer staggered pedals on cranks instead of pedals side by side
Yep, same thought I had first time I saw these things. Your right leg would be extended when banking or turning left and vice versa for turning right, maybe helping with balance. And every kid learns to ride a bike, so it would feel more comfortable. I raced BMX so I may be biased a little.

I saw a bunch of people at Keystone this year on them. Thanks for explaining a bit more. Now I might actually try renting one.
Give it a shot! I think you’ll love it
As a German I’m so jealous about the mountains/ ski resorts which you have in North America
Why? ours are at least as cool as theirs
@@_leo.brc_ I don’t think so, but maybe it’s just because I don’t have it. Best skiing I ever did was in whistler
YAY!!!! I've been awaiting this video for what feels like a month and a half already lol since dropping off those pow bombs with you.
Ahh man that looks like so much fun!!
You guys are killin me! I'm a Tahoe local that skis, snowboards and mountain bikes. Do I need another expensive piece of gear now???? :D
You certainly do!

@The Loam Ranger you should come to Australia we got got good bike parks here too and right now its summer for us.
You’ve just added another awesome thing to try out on my bucket list, this looks like so much fun !
Just went out today, tried a tangent and a carbon devinci that had been coverted. both were fun. I recommend
looks so fun

Hope you try out the trike versions (SMX) like North Legion and Hillstrike. If you ever come to Norway, Ive got a few

Which ski bikes were you using in the video? I know you linked the company but which model would you suggest?
The ones in the video are both the Carve 2.0. I have also used the Drift (hardtail instead of full suspension) and I quite liked that as well, especially on powder days. Can't go wrong with either, so whichever fits your budget best is going to be a blast.
I thought you were going to drop Powder Assault to the Ripper Chair!
That’s a smart idea to have the pad behind the GoPro to distribute the weight if you fall.
I’ve got a Sno-Go and it’s pretty good at being able to get you out of deep pow if you F up and go down something out of your comfort zone, how is this at being able to handle crashing in deep pow then starting again?
You should do Corbin’s cooler at Jackson hole Mountain resort in Wyoming love the videos man
What materials did you use?
I had no idea these were even a thing or much less that a resort would allow it. Any idea which ski resorts in BC allow these up?
The ones that I know of for sure are Kicking Horse, Revy, Sun Peaks (they even rent them, I believe) and Whistler.
@@TheLoamRanger my local is SilverStar, guaranteed not there lol
That's awesome, wish we had snow and terrain like there here in Texas, all we get is ice.
lol. Wanna trade ?? I'd give my left nut to get away from this miserable snow. I'd much sooner ride my motorcycle all year long.
Really this the first video of ski bike you did, i want to try it out, the feeling looks so so fun ! Hope i can find it to rental one day in France :D
It was the first time for James, yep!
You should do a video with ski biking with pro ski biker Rob Nichols he’s super good
