I Finally Hit the Brutus Gap! ...But I Cheated

My camera Setup: (affiliate)
GoPro Hero 12: amzn.to/3ZQOCtW
DJI Mount: amzn.to/3PWcFTy
3-in-1 mount for GoPro: amzn.to/46Nzakt
Windslayer: amzn.to/3SSzF8T

Everyone knows it only qualifies when executed with a backflip, on a hardtail, with a monkey on your back. #cheater

Cheating? Old school gap with old school bike? Cheers mate, that was insane!

For the fork Cam I think it takes up too much of the screen and it gets a little annoying. I recommend just putting it in one of the corners as a smaller box

In no way was that cheating. I love that bike and that gap is legit scary in person. Well done Jordan.

I've hit that gap on a altitude and a firebird and there's not a single chance in the world I'd be willing to hit it on a old school 26" wheeled super monstered bike so yeah, not cheating. Props for sending a really sick feature! The blind run in with the angled turn is definitely scary

bro, everytime I watch your videos it inspires me so much and always gets me smiling, seen you having such a great time on an older DH bike. Hope some day I can go to Canada and get to ride there, learn new things in those trails.

The time spent on the set up, getting the run up dialled, visualisation, that’s what made the landing so smooth.
That and sending your mates off it first and finding out the gap required more speed then one thinks.

WOW you hit that drop gap perfectly!
Classic textbook pull up and sink the landing!
Smooth!

Ben! Go big or go home! What the hell, bro. That was intense. 0:20

That was sick

Kudos for ignoring that added Frontweight of the SuperMonster-T
I had the "normal" Version on my Banshee Scream and if I remember correct the Springs alone weighted 800grams.
Took me a while to get used to. A friend of mine had the SM-T and we discribed the feeling riding with it like: "Everything below Terrier Sized Obstacles is completely ignorable/not existing"
THX for the Reminder, Great Vid, Man 🔊🔊🕴🏼

That was awesome man. I still remember hitting Monster Amigo in Kelowna on my hardtail back in the day, its a good feeling hitting your first big gap.

Awesome video dude! It’s making me want to ride so bad but I can’t cuz the Midwest is full of snow rn.

Seems like high speed compression is good but the diving feels would be mitigated with more low speed compression damping
Love your content and LOVE the BoostMonster, keep up the excellent work with the high quality content!

BOOSTIE!!!! So sick, Dude! No cheat on that one, looked smooth on the Boost Monster, although it still looked like it bottomed out. Sick run!

I love how he hearts almost everyone’s comment

I saw the orange Norco and it reminded me of how long I had been watching your channel. I'm 19 now. I remember watching getting your first dh bike but you had to put a lot of work into it. And when you broke your wrist, I'd always check my phone for uploads because you weren't posting.

That actually made me a bit nervous to watch. Well done guys!

I hate the end of your videos because the FUN Stops!

My first DH was an a-line. Loved it. Didn’t know any better. 😂

Dope ! That wasnt cheating at all you just hit it perfect. That was smooth as it possibly couldve been . 💯👍

such a sick video man!

Well done, smooooth!

400 supermonsters out there and you are the only one in 20 years to actually document it for all our viewing pleasure

Dude, you Greased that landing Flawless! the guys before didn't even clear the gap that's why the one guy wadded up for sure, You Killed it man Great run in HNicely done Full Send FTW!
the landing off that is real Sketchy Straight the frunk downhill with some Nice trees to stop you if you lose the front end
That was a perfect scenario & That bike is All kinda BADASS!

Wouldn't matter what bike I was on, I wouldn't do it. It was awesome watching you do it!

Dude the fork cam is sweet!!!

It’s the opposite of cheating!! You made it way more challenging with that bike! I love that you’re willing to take a chance and just go have fun on your bike. Really nice work! I was nervous each time you rode in, and then when you went for it I was not breathing for a little bit. Haha

This is a ridiculously badass video. Boostmasting at its finest! NOTHING about this was cheating…

Making a elephant fly isn't cheating, pretty impressive 🤘

The boostmonster huck bike is actually so unbelievably sick. One of the best bikes ever!

You need to partner up with Nick for his first ride of Brutus.

Sick AF Bro!!! I would have gone with a full ridged drop bar gravel bike tho 💪😂

Now do it on a hard tail.

You old schooled that drop great bike to do that with

GREAT VIDEO. More please.

Good job man you make that look easy

That was suuuuuuuper clean

Not cheating. The boys killed it! Epic day boys, absolutely EPIC! YEEWWW!!!! :D \m/
No margarine, that was all butter \m/

Awesome Video!!!!

First time the notification bell worked in months lol

when jordan was messing around with the rebound the fork sounded like the pixar lamp

Duuuude, you did that gap so good! Epic!

I think you should upload the suspension cam footage as shorts because I find it very satisfying 👍

You need give that thing a real test and hit the Fromme cliff huck. Not wardens, the cliff drop to flat off between the third and fourth switchback

Nice.. The best feeling is overcoming the fear and sending a new jump. 🤘

I’d hit it on my ‘21 Norco Shore if I had to choose!

wow, this is big balls

Now all you have to do is work with some bike company to make a proper modern downhill bike with 300mm travel. that would be so cool. Awesome riding!

Preparation and lot of work has the reward in a smooth run. Nice 🤙

We use to use thicker oil to slow the old monsters down from that fast rebound. Nice send!

I think you made the right choice boostman ❤

Brutus is so fun! Good work🤘

Man that gap looks intense! Great work!🤟🏼

Can I ride with you one day on my NORCO RAMPAGE 2

As someone who still rides old school DH bikes with new tech. I grew up when that stuff was cutting edge. Rode some new stuff. But, nothing beats a 26.

Savage!

Jordan, I have a friend who has a large 2003 Norco VPS Team Shore (blue) with a Monster T on the front. He has lost the axle for the fork, do you have any extra parts, or know where to source an axle for a 03-05 Monster T fork?

what a drop ! Congrats! Going from Montreal to Vancouver for the first time with my son, Going Revelstoke, Sun Peaks, SilverStar, Big White and Whisler and I had 1-2 free days and I wasn't sure which one I should try on the Triple Crown. Which one would you recommend? Tks in advance :)

next time you should try hitting that jump with a full rigid bike

dude that's insane, can't really consider it cheating! awesome vid

Now it's TOONIE TIME

Awesome 👏

Not cheating run up was gnarly

I’m choosing my clapped gt hard tail

dude you are so gnarly, good job on that gap

I'd choose my propain rage :)

I wonder if more sag/droop would help the supermonster fork. You have plenty of travel since it looks like you only use 10 inches outside of massive drops and hucks, so like... Unless you already know I'm wrong with how droop affects rebound damping, you might as well try it, eh?

I’m not joking your like my favourite mtb person I know
And we’ll done for clearing the gap👊👊

I just watched a 3wk old Mahalo MD, mean comments vid. Someone busted on Yuka's accent. Then someone said Jordan breaks the Canadian nice guy stereotype. What in the frickin heck was that guy smokin that day, aye? The internet is rotting people's brains.
I often tell my machine shop customers; don't snort the hot tank chemical...

Perfect landing on that Rd gap!!!
Clearly 💥

This was not cheating. For sure you would made it with an other dh-bike as well. This technique was perfect in my opinion. Sooo....no cheating - just skills. ;)

The reason it springs back is because the high speed shim stack probably becomes active, which bypasses the low speed rebound. High speed is usually controlled by a preload spring, so you probably want more high speed rebound damping. Alternatively, you can sacrifice some softness for control by using more compression so the fork doesnt cycle deep into the travel as much.
You also could improve the geo of the bike by throwing an angle headset into the frame (works components), and use offset bushings in the shock to drop the rear a little bit without sacrificing travel.

🔥🔥🔥

It was not cheating. I like how you set up everything to made it work. Well done.👍

10:22 that was legitness !

Nice gap ride!!! Banshee Scream with a Monster T

there is no chance I'd ever hit this gap on any bike tbh.

I qould use either a Polygon Collosus DHX or a Polygon Xquareone DH9
I feel like the biggest problem is how big the gap is and how there's a turn right after so you can't go too fast.
We have a drop on a trail in my country that goes downhill so most of us go a bit too fast the first time and trying to slow down for the corner downhill is crazy.
Of course that drop is way smaller than this and that corner is way harder.

Congrats! Looks scary. But why don't you just fix the run-in? Move some rocks and stuff.

be safe out there and have fun

Next: HTF. It's the only right thing to do with that tool! 😂❤

Fork cam feels great for sure .

Jordan, at 1:05 can you explain to me why that one front wheel seems to be hanging so much lower as the rest ... ow 300mm 🤘🤘

Now you need to send the Brutus with your others bikes. hahahah

Nahhhhhh. Not cheating! Fucking sent it bud!

Total legit especially on the osd school DH! I would hit the gap with a soecialized Demo

Looks so much wilder and nicer back in 2016!

That was a sick video bud. However my super monster never topped out at all.

I hit it on a hard teil no sspnshen

jump is at 10:00

No cheating at all. Anyone who can clear that gaps using ANYTHING wins.

Zerode G2

image that fork on a custom high pivot frame, it would take any trail on

Next time you should ride Incline on this bike. This gap is so sick.

Throwing a bit of style in there

insane gap, nice old footage in 2016. You send it, you did it, no cheat.

Wouldn’t even cross my mind it was cheating. Great job.

You know it’s big when you start marking the takeoff with sticks.
