Brilliant, bloody brilliant.
Is that crankworx ? It looks like crankworx.
A local jump bike course Called 'Van road Trails' here in South Wales. There are about a dozen different runs from very tame to all out lunacy level. Maintained by volunteers and used by all sorts as it's free. . A great way to naturally progress. The top end jumps are insane in size. There's also a side by side slalom run with two parallel tracks For racing.
Also a good place to improve mtb skills like pumping and carving berms.

If that doesn’t raise a smile then you’re broken! Pure joy on their faces, priceless!

That’s so well thought out, really is! Nice to see something so kid friendly too, near me it’s just panic stations watching the kids!
Yeah, I found it by complete accident one day when out scouting for routes. I couldn't believe what I had stumbled upon. My kids call it the 'the bumps' , they nag me all week to go there so its become a fairly regular event on a Saturday morning.
Worked out a new route today - The "Three Hills Loop"™ covering Great Hill, Winter Hill and Darwen Hill in South Lancashire.
Just about 25 miles, just over 3200ft of climbing...
(about 15 mins)

It's no secret that I don't really like riding Ebikes as much as l like riding normal bikes so please excuse the lack of motor (although TBF there was no real pedalling going on either )
First lift assisted DH day in almost 2 years

Mate you've got to just let go and relax ..remember speed is your friend ..??
Awesome footage ..?
Pretty chilled day TBF ?
Did see 2 Ebikes there today. With just the lower lift open the riders were using them to carry skis up the access road (above) the top chairlift station to then hike up to ski the last remaining snow. Pretty cool really.
Nice vid ..you can tell that you've ridden the majority more than once or twice ..instinctively knowing the best line ...
I felt your pain on those cobbles ...?

Dead chuffed with my partner who only learned to ride a bike six months ago, she’s now landing drops with ease and cleared her first tabletop today. All on the Cube Reaction hardtail

heres my offering from a coaching session I had yesterday, made plenty of rookie errors and was out of my comfort zones loads but happy I managed to (survive!) get through it! ?
I’ve made the video so I can learn a few editing skills for when I start to use my GoPro (bad luck charm!) again.
Each session really helps with progress
Obligatory Zimmerframesque off included!

The mtb gods were being kind to me on that occasion giving me a lovely soft surface to have a nice rest in!
I honestly had zero idea that was going to happen, zero, zilch, nada ?......people will soon understand why I ride like a sweaty Robocop!!!
The day I get to wear cool mtb gear is when I’m on Steve Peats level! ?
@Zimmerframe. Meant to say to you. The IGTV footage in my last post is from the insta360 GO2 mounted to the magnetic pendant but this time placed in the centre of my chest with a slightly tighter riding top (not actually new skool tight though). and the footage was just shot in pro video mode in a "press start and go" no planning sorta way.
stabilization in the open in good light is pretty good. but IMO it doesn't cope too well in low light. (fair enough really)
I meant to do chin mount and visor mount runs with the GO2 to compare as well but was having too much fun riding.
I'm still clueless using the app and on the drive home I stupidly deleted some awesome footage of a run where I rode at the back of a train with 4 mates all taking shady lines passing each other and switching position down the track.
I honestly don't know how mtb Youtubers still actually manage to enjoy biking with all the faff of preparation, packing and carrying their kit, remembering to actually use it, and monologue/narrate, shoot B-roll and selfie clips and then return to the chore of having to edit it all. I find all that seriously anti social and it just detracts from my rock n roll/playboy lifestyle.

Holy hell! But, dumb question, why no gloves??
Because I can't stand wearing gloves to ride in.
Why gloves? ?

Got a few minutes to kill?
Here's day 2 in normal format, with great weather and some great trails. a few minor issues and had to buy a new tyre today so I could ride properly after the issue in this video. So at least part of me is lighter
Now to start editing day 3's video.

Pretty awesome, man.
What app are you using to show the route progress and other data in the corners?

Thats in the GoPro Quik App under stickers, you need to have GPS active on the camera.
Just spent a couple of hours editing day 3. takes almost as long as doing the ride!
