Rich is absolutely nuts... no full face helmet, no gloves, no pads on the knees or elbows, and doing it clipped in!

The limits of a good xc bike are your skill level and tire choice.

At the beginning I was like: "yeah, I would do it on my HT", but later it was more like: "I'm not sure if I could do it on my feet"

It reminds me of how mountainbiking used to be 15-20 years ago

Get Blake down there on his hardcore hardtail

The sketchiest part about this video was the helmet choice 😬

I would definitely like more XC content

Doesn't matter what bike you have, it's how you ride it that matters. I ride a cheap hardtail down trails that it's not designed to go down and while it's extremely uncomfortable for me, the bike takes the hits and carries on.

I’m an old bugger, when I started riding in the 90s we were all on fully rigid, steep angled bikes with narrow tires, narrow bars, long stems etc…and we rode down everything, the terrain never changes but bikes have got much much better.

Love this video. Shows everyday XC challenges and also proves that even pros just say no regularly acknowledging limits.

XC bikes - light enough to carry down the track 😂

Yeah best to be safe

Would love to see a short travel trail bike(120-130mm) vs a long travel xc bike(120-130mm) on the same trails to see which is better. Like one modern xc trail and one AM/enduro trail. Even better if HT cause more HT content would be sweet.

It's funny, his XC bike has the same travel as my trail bike that I bought in 2013. More alarming than the bike choice was the near lack of safety gear.

Love the XC videos! Keep ‘em coming!

Thanks, Rich. This makes me feel better about saying "no". Sometimes it's ok to just hike-a-bike.

Same thought as many comments before me - Body armor protection!!! Specially if you tell us all the time how crazy it is to go down this trail with a XC bike.

Sweet. Now ride the same on a mid-90's 26'er. The trails were pretty similar then, you just have to add more roots and rocks :D

@bartek.igielski

The most hardcore thing about this challenge is that he is not using enduro/fullface helmet and don't have any body protection, even something as basic as gloves, knee pads and long sleeve.

Feel like this bike would do absolutely fine if it had bigger rotors and a different tire

XC bike has an undeniable advantage -- it's light enough to be carried down.. and the rider is fit enough to do a lot of walking :)
