Is this a joke or what
That's like riding certain grips because they're lighter than others

I feel this would have been better with some depth to it, compound differences, feel in different styles etc.

They are still interesting to watch, but they should focus more on parts that can actually change the feel of your bike, like cranks should be next
I ride to stay on two wheels and have fun!

Grips are the most felt contact point to the bike.
Change your grips from Longnecks to Chase Hawks. Tell me there isn't a different feel.

Testimony and apologies
I want everyone to know that Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of your sins, he went to hell for three days and defeated death and rose from the grave on the 3rd day.

What would Jesus say: I didn't die for you to live like this!

Agreed.
Wish he went into more detail about that.
I've ridden some grips that just feel horrible to me and made my bike feel like complete shit. Like I rode Cult Vans grips for a few days, and had to take them off because they felt too weird to me. Granted, that could have just been in my head, but a majority of my tricks felt like shit so I just got rid of them.

I thought that was one of the reasons too but when I went to brakes I realized how much life savers the flanges really are for brake levers

Have to disagree, a friend of mine in 2006 came off a rail at speed hard and punctured his thigh two inches deep, had to leave him lying there until the ambulance came to sort him (there are alot of major arteries around there, we were not going to fuck about ) Would like to point out the bar was still in him at this point.
Granted we were mid school riders with tanks and cut down bars but a hollow tube hitting you with enough force will be some serious damage in some cases.

I think I recall some long lost youtube video where some teen rail hops a drop and bails midway and it almost went through him or at least fucked him up pretty good but I think it was taken down due to gore or whatever. I always run barends because I saw this and got spooked
