Evan, I have a stupid video idea that I think would be fun. Going back to your Walmart bike roots, but with a full build like you do on the channel now. Plenty of YouTubers are making videos about how the ozark trail is a great starter bike, but no one has done a dream build with one. It has all the modern standards and spacing, so I want to see kashima on a Walmart full suspension…
@zc154
I really like the spec you chose for this build. Bang for the buck, this would be difficult to match or beat! Glad that you are able to move upward and onward in this mountain bike saga for all to see and be a part of! Keep up the great work Evan!
@sp192x
Evans signature bike. This is the bike you change everything on every week or two then sell it and start over.
@ThunderStruckMTB
Hell of a build!! If there is a better value vs quality bike out there, I haven't seen it. Super smart component choices and I'm scratching my head to be critical on a single one of them.... Congrats brother!🔥👍
@shanerides
I ride a 2024 Santa Cruz Blur, live and ride in southern Michigan. My previous bike was a 2013 Jamis Dragon hard tail. I just started riding again in 2024, love your videos!
@Markbfoster
I ride a Polygon T8 that I’ve upgraded. It’s got full Fox factory suspension, Hunt wheels, and more. I’ve been pleased with it. Love the videos.
@kevinkgpk
Evan,,, I'm south of you in Beebe, Ar.. At the end of my block there is a cattle ranch with a 15 mile trail system. I ride a 2023 Superior XP919 29er Hardtail in a beautiful "Mazda" red !!! I love it !!! Got it from Bikesonline... Mods: Race Face pedals, 50mm hirise 780 bars, and some fatter Schwalbe tires. Being over 65 and retired, I usually ride everyday ...

Got myself a Marino custom steel frame (Reynolds tubing) for Christmas. Built it up into a short travel trail bike with 140/125 travel. It´s got full Fox performance elite suspension, Shimano 11 speed SLX/XT Drivetrain, Formula Cura brakes, PNW 200mm dropper, Syntace wheels with Onza Porcupine tires. I have pretty decent Enduro bike, too but since I got the Marino it´s been mostly collecting dust - apart from a bike park day or two. The steel bike is just so much fun and the custom geo worked out very well for me.

I ride a 2014 Rose Uncle Jimbo. I bought it last year as my first FS bike and ever since then ive loved every minute of riding on it. Ive had it for almost a year and the only thing i had to replace so far was the shock, since the original one was losing air. Its an extremely light and playful bike with a ton of travel, i love it!
@nick_kelv7209
I just got a Ripmo AF in Cinnabon bronze! Got some orange OneUp pedals and grips to go along with the orange accents on the bike!! I love my Ripmo!!!! It’s my first full suspension bike! I wanted an enduro but I wanted a trail bike that was easier to ride on all trails. This is right in the middle!
@JaredHoff
That’s awesome bro! I’m not a huge Ibis fan but I’m stoked for you and stoked on this build.
@iluvcammels
I love watching things get built too! I quite often do the same, watching cars get built and wondering how hard it'll be to actually do it! I'm riding a spectral at the moment as my main bike, slowly chucking on my favourite parts from my almost 6 years of riding experience now! Love watching you build bikes man, and seeing you get a really sweet custom bike that people can actually purchase! Wow, you must feel so pumped!
@Logroosee
I only got into mountain biking a year ago. Since then, I've taken my trusty steed everywhere. I ride a 2019 Commencal Meta HT that I built in my dorm room freshman year of college. It started off with a hodge podge build of the cheapest components I could find to get me on the trails for sub $1000. I succeeded, and built me a single speed ripper for around $900! Since then, I've been upgrading bits as I go. I first added a dropper post, that I got for $100 total (lever and 200mm dropper!!). I then added a used deore 12 speed drivetrain that I got on marketplace for $200. I then got a set of SRAM guide RS 4 pot brakes with frozen master cylinders for $25, which I fixed for free. All in, I learned so much scrounging around to find the cheapest, highest quality build I could. I even joined my downhill racing team, where I have now ridden some of the gnarliest and hard trails here in Colorado. Watching you actually got me into bikes during COVID, but I was never able to afford one. Thank you Evan, and I look forward to watching you progress on YouTube!!
@JFTM_
Hi Evan, You’re the first MTB channel I’ve subbed to in maybe 6~ years. I used to be all in on MTB, then had a family and realised spending 3 months on crutches wasn’t smart. I love the formatting and high production value of your videos - High/ Low S2 was great. Thanks for getting me stoked on bikes again - maybe enough to buy and build a new one!
@JrSampl3
Digging your videos. Living vicariously through all the cool builds, parts and exploring different brands ride characteristics. I thoroughly enjoy watching you build. I ride an Evil Offerring LS 24’. I would love to see you buy, build, ride an Evil.
@marcogutierrez4279
I watch your videos because I enjoy watching people work on bikes. I ride a Yeti SB140 and a Giant Talon hardtail.
@SprSonik13
i’ve been riding since my BMX days in the 70s, and watch your vids because they show the passion and simple fun of mtn biking. I’ve been into high end bikes for a while now, and my primary is a 2023 Orbea Rise M10 w/Enve 730s and a Fox 38x170 (DSD Runt cartridge) with mostly XT build. Also ride a Yeti SB 5.5 and my all-time favorite bike, my 2018 Chameleon single speed mullet w/Factory 36x150 fork, RF Era cranks. All of my bikes, run XT brakes, Brooks saddles, PNW droppers, carbon bars, rev grips, HT pedals, VittorIa Agarro/Mazza tires, and a bunch of other cool bits and pieces.
@felegyhazigergely
I use a 2018 Rockrider 520 s bike which has a geometry a bit like a rimpora. I have been slowly improving my bike over the past year and now it is a perfect cross-country bike and apart from the frame there is hardly any original part left on it. I can't tell you how much I have learned from your videos. You are doing a great job, keep it up!
@Sled138
Moved to NW Arkansas a couple of months ago and just bought a Norco Sight A3 as my first mtb. Excited to get into the sport.
