It's The FINAL RIDE on my 300mm Boostmonster FrankenBike!!

That's sick, oh Man, I'm feeling good My 300 millimeter boost monster has been feeling better than ever lately and it's all thanks to this Slacker head angle as a result of putting back on the original smaller rear shock I told you about that in the last boost monster video and I felt like I just need to ride it more to really see If it's better. So in this video, we're riding Cypress Mountain in Vancouver again with Dimitro and his specialized demo 9 He's got his own super monster fork as well. So you guys read the title correctly This is the final video that I'm making riding this boost monster No, it's not because I broke it or anything, but I'm actually making a whole new bike. Yes I'm gonna make a boost monster 2.0. So I will tell you more about that later on this video So for this final ride, there's a few trails I really wanted to hit first being roach clip and roach hit as well as fifth horsemen These are all some very gnarly trails and I'm so excited to see how they feel Especially now that I made this head tube angle slacker It went from around 64 and a half degrees now to about 62 and a half degrees But yeah, dude, I really am feeling better on this boost monster than ever I figure when you're this high up and short wheelbase a slacker head angle is definitely needed We're first warming up on an east side lap here and then let's hit roach clip I'm so desperate for a longer wheelbase ready to rumble. So this footage was actually filmed back in January I apologize for taking so long to get it out But I kind of want to release this closer to when the new boost monster 2.0 will get built up Perfect conditions. I absolutely love this These like today are amazing This is not actually our warm-up lap. We already did one on the east side All right Sick Roach clip. Okay, let's uh, let's go do some roach clip. I Always like this one on the boost monster And now is my chance to try it out with the new slackened Geo with smaller rear shock This first part is a little Flatter though But it gets really spicy later Alright, here's where I guess more fun, okay Awkward corner, that was good. That's good. Whoops. Whoa. How's it a little squirrely? Okay, see the thing about all this suspension is like I Sink in too far When you go down it's like you sink in too much and it kind of messes with your control It's just a little sketchy, but you can roll it all Nice yeah, you can roll it Sick Alexi the enduro bike Tackles it Excellent Okay, I've never seen this reroute this one I don't know why it's rerouted cuz old line looks perfect All right, yeah sick, yeah, I sound good on that Whoa more rears What I? Was so sick. Yeah, I actually was feeling better on that Compared to before on the boost monster. I could tell the soccer head angle was helping me. That's pretty cool I was giving me confidence. I like it Yeah Yeah, is your shock not working it's sagging Okay, yeah this part is more gnarlier let's do it boys Okay, this part's super fun Are you guys ready for my? final ride on the boost monster ever the title is just a little bit clickbaity, but It's also kind of true Whoa freaking back wheel drift that was ultra sketch. Oh Yes, oh Man, I'm feeling good So what I do is I just drop it I just lunge out Cuz once I tried to roll it with the boost monster and I got so I almost crashed Because then you point so far down and then it almost just went straight into the tree Awesome, let's do it Slow here and we drop nice. Oh, I'm feeling so good, dude I feel so like controlled. Oh, I love that kind of stuff man. All right, so Dimitro is gonna take another look at this He's still unsure He's got his 24 inch wheels super monster for 300 millimeter travel. Okay, Dimitro. Let's do it Yeah Yes nice Did it? How'd that feel though? Yeah, so so yeah you're scared because I like it when you make it something new and you're so so so scared and you want I want to Just take it back down and no do this Yeah, so yeah, Dimitro and Alexi never rode this trail yet Sick drop I Frickin love it. I Frickin love it so much What in the world that is so fun. Did you like that section? I love it Dude, I love that second trail. Okay. So now we got a few jumps if you like step downs Yeah, nothing's too big, but it's fun. Let's do it Okay, all right, okay we got Drop here. We all Okay, see what's the line here? Oh, yeah, you even go down here I guess I see people put sticks there though Yeah, maybe this is the line Whoa, all right Whoa, that was not the line what the heck jump Yo Okay So good So sick Okay, that's so much fun on this bike so far It's like one of the top favorite trails to ride my boost monster on is that fun? Yeah. Yeah, I got smooth That was pretty sick, huh? That's one of my favorite trails to ride my boost monster on So fun Yeah, totally man Yeah, dude, thanks The shock man It's not rebounding back up the cook for pedals like so here in the negative chamber or something Dang that sucks. Did you like the trail though? More fun with a better working bike Yeah, the three-inch tire plus like the slacker head angle. I really Feel a lot more confident on some of these corners. It's so sick. So probably wondering why is this my last ride on the boost monster? Because I'm making a new frame Of course, I'm gonna keep using this super monster fork But we're no longer using the Norco a-line frame. We're gonna put something Putting this fork on something else. It's gonna be epic But to give you a few more hints about this new boost monster bike It's gonna be a steel frame Custom geometry, so that means it's gonna be totally modernized Which I am so excited about the old janky geometry here is just I can't do it anymore you guys I need something Much longer much more modern and I want to see what you can do with a super monster with modern geometry And finally, we're gonna ride fifth horseman the gnarliest trail on the mountain But I actually had to come back another day just to ride it we ran out of time the previous day Things have actually been taking quite a long time. I actually ordered this frame in February of 2024. I got the frame in August of 2024 and now 2025 I'm finally getting it built up. I apologize for the delay. It was not supposed to take this long It does suck, but at least it's finally happening One thing I'm really excited for is to do a lot of comparisons with all the footage I filmed already with this boost monster I'm gonna compare riding all these same trails again with boost monster 2.0 And I'm excited to see how much better and faster. It's gonna ride. Whoa Wow Okay, that was actually gnarly That was sick This fork is confidence-inspiring man Fifth horseman. I've been wanting to ride this trail on the boost monster for a while now. I Really want to see how this fork Affects my confidence levels. Yeah Yeah, six years since you last rode this trail I Look so dark in here. There's no pressure to do anything Just I want to do something just ride it. We'll see what the the lighting's like. I know I'm good, man Okay Ready Jared Wes So Jared's first time on it Wesley's first time in like six years I just rode it yesterday Let's ride fifth horseman first time on the boost monster. This parts the jankiest. Okay It's a nice new work here Shout out to Steve Vanderhoek for all their work Okay, this part is kind of cool they're building up all kinds of super fun stuff This thing is fun Got the on-off thing here So so far, yeah, I can tell this fork is feeling pretty nice and some of that Confidence inspiring I was kind of hoping we get some of that golden hour Sun Not really This is where there's multiple lines a nice good drop, right? Kind of down the middle here. I remember when we wrote it last time we went down here. I don't know if these trees are here, but That is kind of cool too, I'm not opposed to trying something like that to actually Yeah, I did that last time too, yeah you did cuz I did it yeah, yeah, otherwise there's a new drop like new landing right there It's fun it works good and it's it's more easier it's kind of makes no we can just do this it's Yeah, let's do it ready to go yeah sure just follow me into the drop Do the new drop here West on behind How was it Yeah, you kind of like let go of the brakes as you go down the rock. All right, let's ride this new Trail chills out a little bit here Let's see This is where things start to get in earlier, there's a roll down here Okay, see if I remember the right way to go Okay that I did that pretty bad I Do not like that so here I can show you what I'll do It's gonna stay here There we go nice here's Wes Nice Sweet Dropping in okay, let's do this nice and controlled. Let's go down here You very nice sick, let's try this at a second. Oh I did it dude. Look at this Okay, bro, I'm doing it Sick oh I kind of didn't want to stop because I Okay, that was sick. Yeah, I was feeling Confident and comfortable. So I just did the easier line up there Just not doing anything stupid for today This is the harder line though for sure. I still want to try this line sometime. This is what we did that last time This is the craziest part. But yeah standing right here. It's like what the heck is this? Yeah, it's nuts Yeah, see what the boost monster With how high it is. I Actually wouldn't feel the most confident because of how high and I just feel like I'd be going over the bars with most on these like Straight down things and it's like whoa Longer wheelbase, I believe would help a lot with that I'm pretty sure last time in 2019. I went This way it was pretty sketchy All right I Was going a little off track. That was lame See, that's you could kind of tell that's where the the tall heavy bike was not working. I was starting to go off and then It's hard to correct yourself on some of that. So Just the shortcomings in this bike steep rock rolls are not my favorite I'm just gonna huck this bro. Just frickin send to oblivion. No, thanks. It's getting a little slippery. It's not the most grippy Yeah, and now it's getting low light too that sucks Should I go for it? You want to go for it? I'm gonna go for it, but you can go I'd love to watch you Bro Yeah, I see what I mean how it's slippery yeah, you're drag brick Okay, I'm just gonna go slower I'm just gonna go out to the side. It's a little safer there It's dark yeah, I Seen that I know sunset like 20 minutes ago Let's see. We got a rock roll here So this is a smaller rock roll So as you can see, we're finding the limits for the low-light capabilities of the insta 360 ace pro 2 I'm filming pure video mode, but I was filming 60 frames a second here for some reason I should have done 30 frames. It would have at least been a little bit brighter. It's like not safe to ride in this Sick It's the end of an era the boost monster is gonna be retired But only because we're gonna make a boost monster 2.0 So I hope you guys are excited what the future has I sure am we had some good times on this bike I rode it a lot, but I was just getting way too sick of the geometry. I just can't do it anymore I'm not very interested in riding this as is I've got to change it up That was a super good day just taking advantage of all the beautiful weather we were having this January Rode like four or five times in last few weeks. It was incredible. My boost monster was tons of fun. I think I'm Ready to retire this frame now Check out this playlist of all the boost monster content that I made so you can relive all the best moments with this bike But I would say probably my favorite boost monster video is gonna have to be this one right here
