Pic of the Day

[MrHeils]

after what’s felt like weeks of rain over here, finally a few days of drying the mountains out. Bumped into a few friends, made a couple new ones, made it home in one piece.

If anything this thread has taught me is that it's not always grey skies and pissing rain in the UK!

Switzerland HAS to be the new MTB mecca for sure!!

 

[The Hodge]

Not sure about " new " ...the mountains have been there for thousands of years and folks have been riding mountain bikes in them for as long as I can remember..but the scenery does look fantastic ..

 

[Dirtnvert]

Good day. Not sure how long this will last The fire is getting close

Try following an ebike on foot on the trails whilst carrying a rucksack full of water & camera equipment in scorching heat! ?

Couples that shred together makes perfect sense to me, don’t have to arrange time off with the lads etc. We’re turning the cranks together as much as possible, loving every minute

Dont get me wrong ..I love my missus to bits and never get any hassle about going off to ride whenever I want ..but as for riding together ..nee fkn chance ..thats my " me" time ...and thankfully she has other interests ...?

Totally get that too and you’re lucky you have that understanding to do your own thing in your own time

Couples that shred together definitely seem to be in the minority in my opinion, but I can see how it works when you share the stoke!

If you have similar fitness levels and skills, I’m sure it’s brilliant, but when I go out with my wife on the bikes, it’s a bloody nightmare! ?

I ride the trails with a married couple and they are very good technically, also super fit. I think it’s great that can enjoy MTBing and spending shared interests together.
I also agree with “me” time as well ?‍??

I wish my wife was a lady who shreds, but just like when I was tec diving I’m glad she doesn’t; she’d just find out how much everything actually costs… ?

I must be lucky because my wife never worry's about the price. Well i wouldn't say she shreds i would say she gives it a go

quite sad and long story. But somewhat relevant.

i raced with a fella who unfortunately lost his life in a race we was in. Naturally went home and said nothing.

my Mrs unbeknown to me or her worked with his mum and see her the next day obviously devastated who explained what happen and worked out I was there. Jesus did I kop it from the Mrs that morning ?

to make things worse the mum then got into a legal battle with his girlfriend who wasn’t next of kin as she was selling all his bikes and kit (he had two kids who should have had that money) so I had to do an itinary of all his stuff and bikes value.
Including the Ducati I had a replica of sitting in the garage ?

totally blew my cover ????

Tom’s video, 5 mins 50, is this the line you dropped in to ?

 

[Doomanic]

Ha ha! No! That was filmed on Saturday I think, we were there on Sunday. I'll watch the whole thing later and see if it's on there.

 

[Doomanic]

Cardy’s vid is a great promo for the Forest of Dean. Looks like there’s some fun to be had there. Must have been a surprise bumping into him!

Not as big as the surprise I got when I saw him using the pump track by my house!

Sounds like he’s stalking you!

 

[Doomanic]

He just wanted some tips on how to shred...

 

[RustyMTB]

I feel for Cardy a bit. He's a hugely creative rider with a serious bag of tricks but he's ploughing the exact same furrow as Pilgrim but with none of the charisma. Clearly trying to build a You tube career & I hope he makes a go of it but he's going to struggle while Pilgs has his tanks on Cardy's lawn.

I really like Cardy’s channel. He’s far more sensible & conservative than Pilgs obviously and doesn’t try and create a gnarly persona like many of the other pro riders’ channels, but his style is so smooth & steezy. His subs have been helped by hanging out with Pilgs but I don’t blame him at all for doing that. He also has the patience of a saint when riding with Kara and really encourages her on her mtb journey. All round good guy

 

[RustyMTB]

Horses for courses I guess - I've never met anyone with a bad word for the guy & he is an absolute boss on a bike.

 

[Doomanic]

He seems like a thoroughly nice guy. Was happy to chat about all sorts on Sunday and seemed pretty humble when we touched on sponsorship.

Speedy and full recovery bud

Wind is hammering today. Apocoplypse lapz in sketch city. Fire escape pod is almost ready
