It makes me feel good that you said that about having your first hardtail that's too small and "the wrong bike". It makes me feel like less of an imposter
I would still advise looking at a modern long travel slack hardtail before diving into a full suspension bike. They are very capable and seriously under rated. I ride one of these and can keep up with friends on some pretty rough downhill runs. Hardtails also build speed better on trails that lend themselves to pumping.

On that note, full suspension bikes are always faster than a hardtail, given the same rider. You sound like you can rip on your hardtail, well, you'd be even faster on a full squish. And more comfortable. That's another reason people prefer them, they beat your body up much less than a hardtail.

This is so spot on - I convinced my wife that I need to buy a full suspension bike after full sending my 12 year-old 26” hardtail and banging myself up pretty good 😂
hell yeah dude. As a person wanting to buy a proper mountain bike (dual sus with hydraulic brakes etc, one by) this helped a lot. keep up the great vids!
This video is literally me, well meant for me... i bought the Trek Marlin 6 (2019) the bike shop recommended me a size large 19.5 and ive had it for 17 months and ive only rode it for one summer, I bought it august 2018 and rode it until october, I bought it the weekend before heading to a cottage with trails all around (I needed a semi capable non walmart bike), i feel like im on top of the bike which is not what i want and i had bad chain suck which put a nice gash in my frame on the chainstay close to the bottom bracket I can still shred on the bike but high speeds become sketchy and terrifying and the 3x gets in the way and the boat anchor of a fork doesn’t help either I have been looking at the Marin Hawk Hill 1 for a new “realish” mtb, $1299 +tax in my area which is right in my budget
@@duckhuntindudewelter219 maybe for a full squish it is debatable, but for a hardtail it takes the edge off all the small bumps. I wouldn't ride a hardtail without it because I can run 15 psi in the wheels on the plus but need closer to 25-30 for a 2.4 inch tire. I don't like 3.0 tires but 2.8 is nice, it brings the bottom bracket up too for clearance. I think bike radar did a test between 2.8, 2.6, and 2.3 tires the 2.8 was faster in almost all the test. The difference between a 2.4 and 2.6 was like 2 % but from the 2.4 to 2.8 it was at 8% which is pretty significant
@@francmeister420 You frieking hard-tail fanatics make me sick, out there on the trails and unable to pick a proper line because you never learned. Everyone knows suspension makes you sloppy, but you dipshits still use them instead of learning on a fully rigid 90s cross-bike.
Tip #6: Once you're bored of constant tweaking on a finicky full sus, build yourself a custom full rigid singlespeed and discover how little the bike actually makes a difference on 50% of the trails out there.
I think too many people don’t have a place to REALLY push their bikes. If you’re not pivoting, hopping and too speeding roots and rocks down a mountain like a Billy Goat LITERALLY almost any bike will do. Once you start riding up STEEP hills and hopping down mountains it’s time to upgrade.
Recently got my first second hand full squish, a 2014 Kona Park Operator. I got a solid deal and the bike’s condition was very acceptable. After a general maintenance and a couple of small repairs and a good clean the bike rides like new. Second hand is the way to go if you are patient and know what you are looking for.
The Trek stache 7 or 8 with the 29er 3 inch tires is the best of both worlds in one bike in my opinion and lots of others. It’s a hard tail but it almost feels like a full suspension because the cushion you get from the wider tires and the awesome front fork. It is a beast of a hard tail and is very fast and light with the tubeless tires. I had a 2018 trek remedy 7 before and it was definitely a nice full suspension bike but I love my 2018 trek stache so much better, such a fun capable bike. And your right buy used cause I got the stache in great condition for $800. Great videos man keep up the work!
Uoi Forget to talk about the time, some weeks after buying your first real mtb, when you discover all the configuration possibilities and you want to upgrade all the part and put fox and box everywhere but when you see that a fox34sc cost more than your bike you goes into a endless depression
Found an almost untouched 2019 Santa Cruz carbon 5010 on eBay for $2900. Had local bike shop look it over and asked if its ever been riden? Looked brand new. I scored an awesome deal. Just took a little patience and I found my bike.
I used to cycle a lot as a kid, broke several frames, forks, knees, chains and handlebars. I went and bought a carbon composite hard tail today, after nearly 20 years of not riding!
I'm still riding my original trashy hardtail. If you still want to call it original. The only thing on it I havent replaced over the past two years is the frame. The trick to getting a good cheap bike is to buy parts bit by bit till you have a one of a kind, "built for you" bike.
Nice video, but dont discredit hardtails completely. Hardtails are more power efficient and typically lighter than their full suspension counterparts. Meanwhile, full suspension bikes are definetely more fun to ride.
So cool to see The Hub in this video, I just went there for the first time and I was amazed by the amount of products that they keep in stock. It’s the only shop I’ve ever been to that you could walk in and build a custom bike out of parts that they have in stock!
Who needs a new bike when you've got blond bobo to ride at home? Done exactly the same. Had a 90's rigid mtb just got too old and worn out for the flat paths I was riding. Wasn't sure if I was going to get into mtb so looked at £200 Halfords ( walmart ) stuff but decided that wasn't quite good enough. Bit hard, bartered and got a new 2017 Giant Talon 3 for £400, spent 4-500 over the next year fixing the stuff that broke and making it better. Did a bike park day 18 months after getting it and realised I was getting towards the limits of a budget XC bike even with new forks. 2 weeks later convinced myself I need a new 2k Whyte T-130s trail bike. 9 months later I'm sure a 150-170 enduro might be a good idea and god knows how much money I've spent on "gear" over the last couple of years.
Full sus is a clear upgrade from a stiff xc or even a trail hardtail. Same as how a trail hardtail is an "upgrade" from a beach cruiser. You can "get away with" any bike on a trail, but you absolutely need to choose the bike that is least likely to fail and provides you the most traction. Full sus is best optimized for riding on mountain terrain.
Haha, Nice video. I am a mtb rider that has had a hard tail for about 2 and a half years. This video is extremely relatable and has also given me some tips on how to get me parents approval. Lol
You’ve outdone yourself again BoBo. Excellent work. I look forward to the trail of copy cats that you inspire. This kind of edit is super refreshing in a world full of ‘steady spins’ Hahahaha.
You don’t know what mountain biking:downhill is, until you did both with a full steel frame bike, with 3”tires... 🤣 that was back on the days in Peru. That damn bike was heavy AF. Now I have an alum specialized hardtail and I love it.
My cycle of bikes have been Diamond back sync 3.0 Then to Gt avalanche Buying a used and abused DJ buying my first full squish Giant trace x4 2011 Building my Dmr sect Dj And now onto my specialised status free ride and all since 2018 this had been one heck of a journey
I've been riding for 8 years+ both ht and squish, most of the dudes that buy full suspension right out the gate overestimate themselves and can't ride for shit. Plus the extra balance and control going down technical stuff on a ht might help burn some of that extra fat. 🤙
“As you progress the bike you’re riding should too” that right their is good advice👍 I ride mtb and motorcycles, had many bikes over the years and while yes if I went straight to the biggest and best bike I would have saved thousands I also would have missed out on learning soo much about my style, my abilities and what bike actually suits me better👍 done the cross country hardtail, on a 130mm dual suspension trail bike at the moment, next is an 150mm enduro or maybe even a downhill bike🤔
Haha! That was great!

Nice video, but dont discredit hardtails completely.
Hardtails are more power efficient and typically lighter than their full suspension counterparts.
Meanwhile, full suspension bikes are definetely more fun to ride.
So cool to see The Hub in this video, I just went there for the first time and I was amazed by the amount of products that they keep in stock. It’s the only shop I’ve ever been to that you could walk in and build a custom bike out of parts that they have in stock!
Stoked Spokes MTB and... they serve Beer 🤘🍻
Biking With Bobo I can’t take advantage of that part of the business quite yet (I’m 16)
This video reminds me of something . . . Hmmm IFHT . . .
Who needs a new bike when you've got blond bobo to ride at home?
Done exactly the same.
Had a 90's rigid mtb just got too old and worn out for the flat paths I was riding.
Wasn't sure if I was going to get into mtb so looked at £200 Halfords ( walmart ) stuff but decided that wasn't quite good enough.
Bit hard, bartered and got a new 2017 Giant Talon 3 for £400, spent 4-500 over the next year fixing the stuff that broke and making it better.
Did a bike park day 18 months after getting it and realised I was getting towards the limits of a budget XC bike even with new forks.
2 weeks later convinced myself I need a new 2k Whyte T-130s trail bike.
9 months later I'm sure a 150-170 enduro might be a good idea and god knows how much money I've spent on "gear" over the last couple of years.
lol
So basically a trash version of IFHT'S how to buy a mountain bike
I had loads of fun helping you make this one!
A-Aron Jones you were awesome buddy 🤘
Another mountain bike vid that actually mad me laugh
I still love my hardtail after getting my first full squish.
You literally copied the IHFT thumbnail
Bobo you got the funniest videos man. So much creativity and production value in these bad boys.
This is a whole ifht copy, just with worse guality, but still great job
😂🤣🤣I bought my hardtail last year, after pupping some moves at the skate park, I got a flat tire , then I came home said, I need a new bike🤣🤣
Inspired by IFHT Films
Full sus is a clear upgrade from a stiff xc or even a trail hardtail. Same as how a trail hardtail is an "upgrade" from a beach cruiser. You can "get away with" any bike on a trail, but you absolutely need to choose the bike that is least likely to fail and provides you the most traction. Full sus is best optimized for riding on mountain terrain.
You can always feel safe buying from someone wearing a fender shirt.

Haha, Nice video. I am a mtb rider that has had a hard tail for about 2 and a half years. This video is extremely relatable and has also given me some tips on how to get me parents approval. Lol
Cheap version of
IFHT Films, but well done anyway
Lol my first was a huffy nighthawk I got this summer but now I’m upgrading to a trek marlin 6. What a switch right
Love this but I have to say... a tad bit of a ifht films knockoff
This video is even better now that I just visited Asheville this week and recognize all the filming locations.
This a copy of IFHT
I bought a used cannondal full supsion mountain bike for 128 bucks it is the best thing evere
Huge rip off of IFHT Films
This is the best thing I've seen for a while. Hilarious!
You just copied Matt and Jason
My grandson is at the end of this video! He loved meeting you! Good times at KOLO. Ride on!
e. chase awesome!
All Disslike if IHT Films /Mahola ma dude is best,,
You’ve outdone yourself again BoBo. Excellent work. I look forward to the trail of copy cats that you inspire. This kind of edit is super refreshing in a world full of ‘steady spins’ Hahahaha.
Such a copy of ifht films 😂😂
This video has come it at the perfect time. This might be the one that proves my point about getting a new bike!!! Thanks bobo🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
smith_skier 🤘🍻
A very bad copy,Sorry for him IFHT films
This is IFHT levels of production quality
MC Cheez Strings 🤘
You don’t know what mountain biking:downhill is, until you did both with a full steel frame bike, with 3”tires... 🤣 that was back on the days in Peru. That damn bike was heavy AF. Now I have an alum specialized hardtail and I love it.
I ride for the local composite team(4 of the local highschools) and I do just as well on a hard tail as some people do with full suspension
This method works very well on parents too, as I’m now am a proud owner of a 2017 trek session 8
this is why Bobo is the best in the game
GabeGuacamole 🤘🍻😎
My cycle of bikes have been
Diamond back sync 3.0
Then to
Gt avalanche
Buying a used and abused DJ
buying my first full squish
Giant trace x4 2011
Building my Dmr sect Dj
And now onto my specialised status free ride and all since 2018 this had been one heck of a journey
I've been riding for 8 years+ both ht and squish, most of the dudes that buy full suspension right out the gate overestimate themselves and can't ride for shit. Plus the extra balance and control going down technical stuff on a ht might help burn some of that extra fat. 🤙
“As you progress the bike you’re riding should too” that right their is good advice👍 I ride mtb and motorcycles, had many bikes over the years and while yes if I went straight to the biggest and best bike I would have saved thousands I also would have missed out on learning soo much about my style, my abilities and what bike actually suits me better👍 done the cross country hardtail, on a 130mm dual suspension trail bike at the moment, next is an 150mm enduro or maybe even a downhill bike🤔
Midnight Mechanic nice b I’m going for a DH bike soon myself
dude what a hidden gem I hope all of your videos are this good.... subbed up will be watching
