    how ’bout I take that bike off your hands, seeing as how you don’t know what your talking about

  2. cjarules says:

    you dont actually need u seat as low as it goes for DH, some riders prefer it high, gives them stability when landing a jup or drop

  3. IX760fire says:

    its all about the rider/racer.

  4. IX760fire says:

    No wonder DH racing is not really liked. its like it attracts all the assholes like the people posting all these comments.
    I bet there are guys out there who are good with any bike that can come close. They don’t need no damn YETI. if you need an expensive ass bike to prove yourself. YOU SUCK!!! The beginning of DH racing started with Street bikes and worked its way to these AT Bikes. real riders can win with a lesser bike. if thats not possible, DH racing sucks and so do the riders.

  16. tody6 says:

    you want the seat at the same height as the bars unless your freeriding or doing slopestyle.

  20. rufus3315 says:

    mickey, your a massive tool and I cant believe that you were paid to do all of these videos.
    I want my time back.

  21. freeofbondage says:

    um, are you doing x-country? this is about downhill/freeride and yes you do want the seat down so when you go over a big bump the seat doesn’t come up and hit you in butt and rocket you over the bars. The seat doesn’t have to be all the way to the bottom though.

  22. stewyg1978 says:

    Havre you evar heard of the word “patronising” ??
    if someone were to set up a bike for what you are talking about, then they would already have a knowledge to some extent! talkin about the seat post, really pissed me off

  23. 02lrobeliamgdr says:

    That guy is so wrong, why would you want to lower your seat, it all depends on how tal you are.

  24. 7randomfucks says:

    crap bike, hav it set up on a dh bike as an example rather thn tht crap, but overall a shit bike with helpful info
