i like to put skateboard grip tape on top of my cranks, so if I move my foot on a barspin onto the cranks I wont slip of... and if you catch the cranks in whips or no foot cans I wont slip of 😁
My personal tip is make a mark under the steere tube of your fork, especially pike dj to see if the steerer tube rotate or not. And i also ride my brake lever pretty steep and far away from the grip (hydrolic brake)
Just got a DJ bike. Never rode one before, but want to get into dirt jumps and suck if bucking my expensive trail bike off doubles Ha Ha. Thanks for the info bro!
Pretty much exactly how I have my scott voltage set up. Only i dont have to run the thing on the crank because I have the inserts to run fixed length dropouts so I have it set up so the cranks are tight. Also I just threw my first barspin today, kind of landed a shitty one. Any pointers? Seems like I'm not flicking fast enough. I'm sure it's just practice.
@@NicHilton yo! im buying myself a new fork, and i got around 150-250 bucks to spend. What brand/model would u recommend and is it game changing if its coil or air ? Appreciate the help homie.
I'm trying to build a 2018 specialized p3 but I'm at a crossroad for wich fork to choose, I wanna go with marzoochi bomber 3s or fox float 36 any suggestions on parts I should use to get the most life out of the bike
Aye bro. Love the videos. I Have a question. Just built up a DJ for messing around. But what’s the cause of my crank rotating while I’m walking my bike. It’s really annoying that it looks like my bikes pedaling itself. I’m running a profile crank and profile elite hub if that has anything to do with it. Please let me know if you have a answer. Thanks again bro 🤙🏽
Yo dude! It sounds like your hub is really tight inside and has some drag. This is common for brand new elite hubs. The panels and springs will loosen up after a few rides and you shouldn’t see that happen anymore!
@@TheDOOKIEonYOU the easiest way to fix this is slide your back wheel so your chain gets tighter but it will reduce the lifetime of your driver bearings
hey man! what's your opinion on riding a 27.5'' hardtail on dirt jumps, skatepark and all that good stuff. I want to get into it but I only got a 27.5'' hardtail, and I want to start learning and go to dirt jump parks and all that good stuff if I can to train before getting myself a 26'' dirt jumper
Hey man, so the geometry could prove to be weird on something like that, however, getting comfortable on small jumps and learning to pump and ride the skatepark will still be super valuable. I would definitely side ride whatever you have until you can upgrade!
How about psi for a 32mm stanchion with 100mm travel? Mine is converted to Air from coil. I don't have a list of what is the recommend psi. Im 100kgs/220pounds but I do dirt jumping. I put a 200psi for my fork. I dont know if that is too much. Please answer. Thankyou

Do you have any secrets for how you set up your bike?

Yes I have a few friends that do that. I don’t land on my cranks much cause they’re skinny so I don’t do that 🙈
I like to put my brakes far from de bars, help me cause I have longer fingers, so makes easy to brake when I needed
Nic Hilton how do you make a living like what’s your job

Yes I’ve heard of some issues with the fork! And that’s actually a great tip that I forgot to mention was running the brake lever steep!

I love the way he’s clearly happy hurling himself off crazy jumps but gets worked up about a cloud affecting the light on his face. Humanising😂
Thanks Nic! SUPER helpful!

My barspins are always shitty I think. 😂It’s definitely just practice. Do them a lot and make it muscle memory!
This was super helpful for me as i'm just getting into dirt jumping, thanks dude!
how do you run the rebound of your fork bunny, turtle or somewhere in the middle?
a bit towards the turtle, but pretty much middle
@@NicHilton thanks a lot!!

@@-Maiki go air for a DJ fork and save up and get a better fork your gonna get a pre shitty fork for that price
Sick dood. Thanks 🤙
Just builded a customised dirtjump bike

Useful stuff! It's hard to get advice on DJ bike setup from someone who knows how to ride.
Whats your gear ratio

Rite on. Thanks for the reply.
Is there any way I can loosen myself. Without taking to bike shop. I have about 15-20 hours on the bike. Mostly just cruising

Any recommendations for complete jump bike under €400

Where you get your beanie fromm??
I actually am not sure. Maybe Marshall’s? My moms friend gave it to me a couple years ago
Skiers thumb.
You're so...
If I have 26 inch wheels should I run them at 60 psi?
interesting the bars on my p.slope are 720mm and i love it. also a question for you is how many volume spacers do you run in your fork?
All of them
Subbed
Hey rad video!
How do you tighten your chain
How about bar height ?
