this is a shark fin to transfer deal i
0:02
like that
0:03
quick on off it looks pretty treacherous
0:05
love a shark fin into another shark fin
0:08
it's it's a step down out of that shark
0:10
fin he's gonna be really good at the
0:12
shark fin
0:13
this is kind of like like on repeat here
0:16
[Music]
0:21
position freeride here with
0:22
singletrackworld.com and i
0:24
am sitting at the top of red hill uh
0:27
dirt jump park i'm with uh sam millard
0:31
and uh we are looking at brendan
0:34
faircloth's
0:35
latest creation not yet
0:38
ridden it is my understanding but we're
0:41
gonna do a quick uh
0:42
course walk course walk track walk line
0:45
walk something like that
0:46
uh sam what do you see here at the
0:48
beginning i see a pretty big jump into
0:51
some turns
0:53
okay we're gonna come into the first
0:55
kicker here i'd say that's
0:57
probably about 2.2 meters
1:00
yeah i'd agree with that what does that
1:01
look like about uh 15 18 out
1:05
yeah i'd say that's 18 pound slight step
1:08
up
1:08
with a hip on the side come down
1:12
nice kicker maybe just two meters yeah
1:14
it looks kind of floaty so we've got
1:16
actually pretty decent sized landing
1:18
here it's about two and a half bike
1:20
lengths
1:21
yep straight into some kind of scandi
1:23
flick
1:24
left that's gonna be tight to catch that
1:26
thing on the left and then go right into
1:28
that berm
1:29
yeah doable
1:32
by brendan maybe so then we've got a
1:35
shark fin
1:36
out yeah love shark fin
1:39
into another shark fin it's it's a step
1:42
down out of that shark thing
1:43
and then a pretty tight right into a
1:45
high high shark than that the next shark
1:47
fin
1:49
is almost straight across if you hit it
1:54
in the middle of the the kicker maybe
1:57
about i don't know 15 feet across
2:01
one what nice backdrop as well yeah
2:03
gorgeous coming out of the second
2:05
shark fin we go into like
2:08
a good long landing but boy you're gonna
2:11
be carrying some
2:12
speed into this third
2:16
shark finish thing it's not it's not
2:18
really even a shark fin it's
2:20
i don't know man he might end up just
2:22
getting sent way back off here to the
2:24
left
2:24
yeah that looks pretty slab sided to me
2:27
uh
2:28
full yeah full compression jobby he's
2:31
gotta
2:31
maybe come off that top corner yeah top
2:34
corner whip it onto that whale tail
2:36
so whale tail is pretty short uh
2:40
i guess you come off that and you got a
2:43
a quick
2:44
on off there quick on off looks pretty
2:46
treacherous yeah
2:48
straight into another right hand looking
2:50
hip
2:51
a shark fin clearly likes a shark fin
2:54
yeah this is what one two three
2:59
four five shark fins i'm seeing so far
3:01
maybe
3:02
there's now a sixth one he's going to be
3:05
really good at the shark fan
3:07
yeah he's definitely a shotgun guy yeah
3:09
get over here
3:11
it's a pretty decent sized gap coming
3:12
off the whale tail actually
3:14
yeah sizable gap i think that always
3:16
looks worse when you're walking
3:17
alongside though
3:18
than when you're actually riding and
3:21
then a nice
3:22
kicker but he basically goes down all
3:26
the way to china
3:28
uh and pops back out that's
3:31
that's gotta be two and a half meter
3:34
kicker
3:34
this is a shark fin to transfer deal i
3:37
like that
3:38
he's coming off of it and then
3:40
transferring
3:41
into that berm and that's gonna be some
3:44
real g's in that berm
3:46
yeah that's what i like to call an
3:47
alley-oop kind of turn right tapping
3:49
back into my bmx days
3:50
yeah you're going you're going from one
3:53
side to the other
3:54
maybe he'll 270 it no okay and that's a
3:57
that's a
3:58
flat uh kind of landing thing there so
4:02
it gives him a little bit more time
4:04
um on this landing
4:07
but then it's gonna rock you into
4:11
another little step down shark fin it's
4:13
more like i'm gonna say
4:15
18 out yeah 18 foot scrub some speed off
4:18
maybe
4:19
i'm not stepped down another
4:22
hard g turn i wonder if that is really
4:26
fully worked out there it looks a little
4:28
low
4:30
uh to me yeah but i think coming in high
4:33
you're going to hit this wall there just
4:36
set you up nicely for that alley
4:37
turn another alley turn yeah this is
4:40
kind of like
4:40
like on repeat here whoa so check out
4:44
where this shark fin ends and it it
4:47
it could easily send you onto the back
4:48
side here looking at that looks like it
4:50
needs a bit more on the top corner
4:51
perhaps
4:52
to get you around i don't know maybe
4:54
push this thing back a little bit
4:56
yeah perhaps then we got kind of a low
5:00
berm not quite fully
5:04
buffed out yet i think they're
5:06
definitely opening up
5:08
uh get some more speed in some more
5:09
height maybe on this lower section
5:11
it's definitely gonna be a lot of time
5:12
in the air pump roller thing here
5:16
into nice
5:19
nice big turn it's got kind of a flat
5:21
out
5:22
flat bank out and then
5:26
a couple of a couple of rollers here
5:29
that are
5:30
opposite angles yeah i think you're
5:32
going to blow that berm out hard
5:34
potential for a double there maybe once
5:36
you're getting comfortable in the core
5:37
yeah i mean you could maybe double that
5:40
if you got enough speed
5:42
uh it's gonna be long
5:45
and you're gonna have you might have to
5:48
transfer it a bit
5:49
right to left yeah high to low
5:53
just big big alley big downside three
5:57
off that next one
5:58
next jump is going to be you could 540
6:00
that that that could be a
6:02
total 540 this is showtime right here
6:05
you got two showtime jumps
6:07
yeah 540 all the way i know a guy that
6:10
could probably do that
6:11
or maybe it's a 450 actually because
6:13
it's 90 off
6:15
but uh yeah be a 450.
6:19
what a great landing this is though um
6:22
already has a little bit of a crater in
6:24
it maybe they were sending that to
6:26
uh check it out with a little bit of a
6:29
crater in the top there
6:30
probably buff that out you can see yeah
6:32
it definitely looks like that's been
6:33
test ridden
6:35
so then we've got sort of a strange
6:37
thing
6:38
here we've got a a short round
6:41
takeoff into uh
6:44
it's probably an on off yeah this
6:48
just reminds me of supercross in a way i
6:49
think you're going to be coming in off
6:51
this lander with quite a lot of
6:52
uh you know force and just scrubbing up
6:55
onto that
6:56
and then uh yeah down into what i can't
6:59
even see the bottom of that hole
7:00
yeah we got a a hole here
7:03
it's been dug way out
7:07
so you got a nice flat
7:10
take off wow we can't even really see
7:14
the bottom
7:14
from up there it's so steep and deep
7:18
yeah that's going to be nose in no no
7:20
room for error on that
7:22
right and the landing's what maybe a
7:24
bike length and a half at best
7:25
yeah quite length and a half you're
7:27
going to want to be coming in
7:28
perfect for this next one so because
7:32
there's absolutely no flat bottom in
7:35
that it's just
7:36
round as can be you're going right into
7:40
i'm going to say that's like a three
7:42
meter three and a half meter kicker
7:44
yeah you're definitely jumping into the
7:45
deep end after some rain here
7:47
terminates in this step up which of
7:49
course is a great showtime
7:51
jump hey i'm gonna guess backflip all
7:53
the way maybe backflip no hander
7:56
bat flip no hander tail whip backflip
7:59
t-bog all right so nice
8:03
two and a half bike lengths uh lander
8:07
there
8:07
fairly wide could be longer i think it
8:10
just continues into the natural hill
8:11
here
8:12
and it's nice and round so you've got a
8:13
chance to hang on if you want
8:15
um and wide so you can you can try all
8:19
sorts of things off of that right
8:20
especially as you're
8:22
you know practicing it and learning
8:24
having that case pad up at the top
8:25
that's rounder is going to help you out
8:28
and then the width uh will allow you to
8:31
spin and be a little off axis that kind
8:33
of thing yes
8:36
that's our course walk how many times
8:39
sam
8:40
do you think it's going to take him to
8:42
get all the way through
8:45
i think rolling through straight away
8:47
maybe a few
8:49
i don't know this looks tricky to me but
8:53
yeah a couple runs get comfortable and
8:54
then i'd be sending it
8:56
anything you see that you would be
8:59
thinking oh it needs a little bit more
9:00
work it's gonna have to get
9:02
dialed in a little bit more i don't know
9:04
about work but i know that shark fins at
9:06
the top look quite
9:07
into those turns but real tight and
9:10
there was that one
9:11
shark fin that almost seemed to
9:13
terminate on the back
9:15
side set you up for the back side of the
9:17
the lander that you're gonna hit
9:19
uh that's gonna be tricky yeah it looked
9:21
a bit flat it's going to be a right
9:22
pull on the bars for that one yeah maybe
9:25
some worker we'll see some work there
9:26
and coming off the top corner too you
9:28
want to come off the top corner because
9:30
if you hit it low
9:32
you are going to end up on the back side
9:33
great course though huh
9:35
yeah impressive stuff a lot of uh time
9:37
has gone into that i can see
9:39
looking forward to seeing it getting rid
9:41
yeah
9:42
great track yeah and it'll be out here
9:44
at red hill uh
9:45
bike park and uh you know the bike
9:48
park's got a lot of different
9:50
features for riders of all kinds of
9:52
abilities it's got tables it's got gaps
9:54
it's got a
9:55
nice step up wood chip landing thing
9:57
that we were having a good time on
9:58
before
9:59
yeah sending tricks out on that mulch
10:00
drum is quite good gives you the
10:02
confidence that you're not going to
10:03
land hard if you go wrong i've certainly
10:06
gone in hard on that before and
10:07
been thankful it's mulch it's really a
10:11
great place to
10:12
learn how to do some tricks it's been a
10:13
great day with you guys
10:15
we're definitely going to get back on it
