I RODE A WORLD CUP DOWNHILL TRACK… ON A HARDTAIL 😅 | Maribor POV

EPIC Maribor World Cup Track ride… on a HARDTAIL 😅

This was one of the wildest rides of my summer 2025.
I took my custom Marin EL‑Roy hardtail — my third frame since 2022 — and charged the Maribor World Cup downhill track for the first time ever.
No rear suspension. No fear. Maybe not the smartest idea… but definitely one hell of an Ride.

This bike has been through a LOT:
✔ 2 replacement frames (one torn, one bent)
✔ Swapped to a mullet setup
✔ Beefy tires & aggressive setup
✔ Rulezman 15mm Offset Custom stem
✔ Reverse Component High Rise bar
✔ Fox 36 fork 150MM
✔ Short cranks, solid pedals
All upgraded for raw trail performance and big hits.

In this video you’ll see:
👉 A nasty crash and wound mishap
👉 An unexpected ambulance detour
👉 Redemption lines down the trail
👉 Ending it off with a cigarette on the terrace

📍 Filmed with Insta360 X4 — POV + cinematic angles

🧠 Tell me in the comments:
➡ Should I actually jump that 7‑meter gap next time? 😂

This was my first visit to Maribor — I came to ride my DH bike,
but of course I went straight to the hardtail first…
because why not test the limits even more? 🤦‍♂️
