This Is What Happens When A BMX Rider Tries To Ride A Dirt Jumper For The First Time! Matty Cranmer rides a GT La Bomba on …

I have the same bike!!! In XL. Best bike I've ever owned. Nothing factory is left on the frame but, im 6'5 240 pounds and i fuggin send it so, its a damn strong frame. You have those short legs man. A 24 inch wheelset would solve the issue. No problem running 24" wheels on a 26".
raise the seat a little bit might help
Let the dude talk damn!
Homie like the booty abuse. Takes 10 second to lift the seat😂
Gt labomba has a recall because the head tube breaks on this model
Just a heads-up the GT La Bamba frame was just recalled. Get your free replacement. Stay safe.
Would you guys try a street trials bike and try some trials moves, that would be really cool to watch
DJs are hella fun.
What kind of knee shin pads are you using?
I don't like this bike slightest bit labomba is a joke like most low to mid budget models, just crap
@Scotty Cranmer Watching this video again, I wonder how matty could benefit from 24" wheels for dj bike or possibly doing a mullet set up to help adjust and potentially eliminate butt buzz.
This thing may as well not have a seat. It’s just a trials bike.
I know it's a old video but if he still plans on building one, might try a old school lean back seat post.
6:29 I wish I could have one of those I don’t have enough money though😢
Down grade tires and rims from 26”to 24” 😉
Needs a fender lol
Roll with 24 inch wheels, that's what I do and it saves you big time, spins better too feels a bit more bmx but will let you hit all the big stuff 26 inch wheels will too
It's really hard to transfer between bmx to mtb, & David Godziek does it easily and sending the same exact tricks in mtb as he does in bmx !!
I always wondered why people riding dirt jumpers looked so stiff, now I know 😂
i hope u bought that guy new pants after making this video and testing ur bike out lol. i have a red carrera kraken i love. its an offroad performance MTB and im after a new seat and im not sure what to choose. i use my bike mostly on road or pathways and sometimes grass or dirt. i defo dont want a wide fat gel seat and i defo dont want a thin light seat that has no padding at all. i do long rides on roads over so many hours ride, price im looking at is £50 – £100. also im after some nice grips that will last as the ones i have on standard are small size and i bought some BMX ones years ago that have name EXILE on them and the rubber is like silicon and melted rubber and now its deformed and can see the wear with the silicon. i assume they were cheap but i cant remember the price i paid. i love sam pilgrim hes a great biker and youtuber and i wanted to get some of his grips but they dont have neon colour in stock so im gutted about that. also idk if its just me but them handle bars on that bike seemed a bit long for me but it also looks a nice bike.
why is the fork on backwards? i have been mountain biking for about three years and have ridden bmx for about 2 but i have never seen this. what purpose does it serve and how does it affect the ride of the bike?
In the uk jump bikes are way more popular than bmx. Bmx is a dying sport in the uk, scooter have taken over skate parks and people who did ride bmx now ride mtb way more
As much as I love this channel it did make me cringe when you called the fork a “shock” and when you locked it out to ride the ramps believe me all your gonna do is destroy the inside of that fork. That fork is made and tuned for jumps so by you not using it your just making it harder on yourself
Has anyone else noticed that the forks are on backwards
You need to unlock the shock
very much impressed with the sort of big smallness of it all
he could instantly tell he couldn't open it up
24" it
He needs the trek ticket s
I think tuck no hander is easier on a Dirt jumper
You should totally try a 24 inch wheel in the back
i'm actually the opposite, never ride a bmx, but a long time dirt jumper, enjoy the journey!
Why didn't you try to raise the seat a little bit? So your fucking arse wouldn't touch the tyre!
I dig it !
Well usually if you ride a dirt jumper where i am live you most likely also ride a full suspension bike or a hard tail but with 27 or 29 inch wheels so I can do the same tricks on a 29 tire and a 26 never rode a bmx but I am sure it would easier. I used to knowing where the tire is and never have the problem he has. Also hydraulic brakes are way better the v brake and you can keep them on I keep only the front brake on.
wow matty is good at biking….
Are the forks back wards?
Build a 24 or 26 inch bmx.
Fixed gear freestyle
I've been riding an Octane One Spark with 24" wheels, mostly dirt jumping. But then I started going to the skate park with it, and now I want to try a 22" wheeled BMX. Even 24" wheels get in the way!
you can run a giro brake on the la bomba because of the bolt holes on the head tube
Next is bmxers try downhill mountainbiking. Please
The forks are back to front, the metal arch goes at the front not the back.
