    Your doing a better job at selling this bike then WTP is

      🤣 Probably. I have actually sold quite a few bikes from multiple companies.
      I also hope I have deterred some people from buying some bikes and products.

    Glad you put these videos out on the Swampmaster. I first saw them back in January when I got the WTP Envy. They seem like they would be a lot of fun. The suspension has these 66 year old knees wanting it for the skate park. In truth, I just need better technique.

    I put regular tires on mine and it dramatically improves how it feels. Those large tires with high rolling resistance and gearing make it really hard to get going. I wanted to gear down then put street tires on and she flies and still looks good, although not quite as cool! I'm 51 and wanted a bike with suspension for my knees and I can't stop bunnyhopping and jumping things. Disk brake really helps with confidence for manuals. I also put 10" bars on as I'm 6'2. Heading to pump track for the first time after work today!

      This bike just came out a couple of weeks ago. That's probably why you haven't seen one before.

    I'm happy you like it!! And I didn't know wheels are measured with the tires. I thought a 29in was a 29in wheel w/o a tire. It's true "we" do learn something every day 😊

    • @ShadLife
      @ShadLife  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Rims are measured in ISO. So a 20" wheels rim is 16". Here is a chart.

      This is why a 26" Fat Bike with a huge 4.0 or bigger tire is actually closer to a 29 inch diameter. Funny that we call them 26" and 27.5" fat bikes...🤣

    Hey Shad. A guy in the 22" group put a pair of 20" Bucklos Yino MTB forks on his Audio with a 22 x 2.1 Mainline tire. Those forks have a 285mm axle to bridge. Might want to go ahead and try the Swampmaster with some 22s.

    • @ShadLife
      @ShadLife  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I am not personally interested in doing that. I actually think the larger volume 2.6 tires are what make this bike work so well.

      Brooklyn Machine Works did that a bunch of years ago. Also Fingers Crossed BMX did this before WTP

    • @ShadLife
      @ShadLife  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      🤣 Far from an MTB. 20", not singlespeed, MTBs are actually quite common now for kids. Same with 20" mountain bike DJ specific bikes.

    • @ShadLife
      @ShadLife  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I don't remember the Brooklyn Machine Works one. I did show that full suspension BMX bikes go way back to the 70s in my unboxing video of this bike. I called out WTB for advertising this as the first full suspension complete BMX bike made while showing a few 70s bikes.

    I am 44 5' 7 170lbs and have a 26" dj but struggle a bit @ pump track with it due to size.
    I mostly ride pump track but 20inch bmx raced as a kid. After Watching several of your videos, do you think this swampmaster would be a fun mostly pump track bike or is it to much work and tires to big and bumpy?? I like the idea of a little suspension for my back and the 20" smaller size to manual but not sure if it would be an unenjoyable to ride @ pump track mostly.???

    • @ShadLife
      @ShadLife  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think a 26 inch DJ bike is the perfect pump track bike. I wouldn't consider the Swampmaster any better than my DJ bike. The suspension actually detracts from pumping.
      I consider the Swampmaster more of a slopestyle bike but in 20 inch BMX form.

      For technical tricks, yes. For big gaps, drops, and that sort of stuff it would probably work great.
