I've never…

Posted a video on YouTube before. It’s an epic 11 seconds long!

Ok. Who else was expecting a crash?

Sorry, first ride on the bike. Took video to help dial in the suspension.

Very good as I prefer to see short clip rather than an entire movie.

Thanks Chewkw!

Need more speed, you nearly came off due to slowness 🙂

I’ll show it to my wife. Maybe she’ll stop complaining about our drive.

Where is the overly long build up showing a morning espresso, long drive through misty hills, bikes lent up against day vans, circling bird of prey on an early morning hunt, POV shot of your handlebars as you crack you knuckles in nervous anticipation prior to an explosion of music and you hucking it down mad skillz trails?

Well I probably had a coffee that morning…

Needs either an awesome rock soundtrack, or some sort of niche, hipster music.

Also, lack of T5 bike van…

I sometimes sing when I ride…

I think I took the bike out of the sister-in-laws A3 before the ride.

Does this count? 😀

I’d have gone round that, quicker strava/n’duro line

Its gone 🙁 Was really looking forward to an 11 second clip of someone going down a rock garden!

No worky, i is sad.

Well as compensation here is my legendary front wheelie into a pool in the peaks

What on earth were you attempting to do? That, or something else?

I think he was attempting that, albeit with the intention of a more level entry 😀

Used wrong account to upload so redone.

Nice work F’Flaps.

I have uploaded again. It is pretty dull. More of a test as I hadn’t uploaded a video with ‘public’ settings before and when I’ve used YouTube previously for video sharing it’s been business-related.

Thanks FF – I like how at no point did you believe that the bike/manoeuvre was unrecoverable; you rode it ALL the way down. 😀

GO and do it again but this time FALL OFF!

Why are you not shouting at a motorist?

I will for you next time. Any requests!

Can you do it a little faster please. 🙂

is that Cannock? the black on let loose?
very tricky, you is betterer than I.

cool, your pack looks like a superhero cape (if you squint)

To be fair Jekkyl – it’s the bike more than me. When I do it on the hardtail I feel it’s a bit more to do with skill.

I can do senor J. Especially now my suspension is more sorted. The forks are now a lot more progressive and the rear sits a little higher in its travel.

Try getting a tad lower over the bike, elbows a little more flared and relax a little bit. 🙂

Otherwise, cool because I don’t have the balls to upload riding videos.

Also, I probably look way faster in my head than on video.

I was riding it (a little) slower than usual. I had a good feeling the forks were diving on the smaller hits and not moving much more on the bigger hits. So the video was meant to show me where it was happening. The one where I got useful footage that actually told me my feeling was right, involved bro running next to bike and used Hyperlapse to stabilise the shot.

There are many people out there who are better than me! If they point that out when they see a video – I don’t mind. I’m happy anyway!

More interested in that one actually.

Yep. Would help if he hadn’t used his own phone to record it and then deleted it…

I’m going over there in Saturday – I’ll ask if he can recreate it!

Carrying on my tradition of videos that are short, incident-free and almost certainly devoid of action. I have added another also filmed at Cannock.

dang, dude – you’re getting slower !

Yep. 1/6 actual speed.

Needs more Ronnie Pickering.

vvverrrrryyyy slllllooowwww … 😆

Gooooooo ffaaasstteeeerrrr … 😆
