MTB DAD
Великобритания
Добавлен 14 авг 2019
Father of two young boys, new to mountain biking. I live in Fife, Scotland and am still discovering the amazing MTB trails on my doorstep. I'm making these videos to show my boys what daddy gets up to in the forest. They are also a diary of my own progression as a rider. I am learning a lot of new things and working on my general fitness.
I upload at least one new video per week.
I ride a 2019 Radon Swoop 8.0, it's my first full-suspension bike and I am loving it.
This is my Strava profile www.strava.com/athletes/mtb_dad

Can an MTB Novice Service a Rockshox Lyrik Fork?
I've owned my bike for one year and never serviced the suspension until now. After watching lots of videos on RUclips I plucked up the courage and took my Lyrik apart...

New Bike Day - Orbea MX 24 Trail
Просмотров 8 тыс.4 года назад
My eldest outgrew his old bike, so its time for a new set of wheels! I ordered an Orbea MX 24 Trial, the assembly was easy and we took it for its first ride to test out the new features. The bike has an air suspension, Shimano trigger shifter and hydraulic brakes. It's a proper bike!

Sessioning Falkland Bike Park

I've ridden this part of Falkland Bike Park (Main Line, Mid Section 2) a few times but have never cleaned it, top to bottom. In this video, I took my time and sessioned each part of the trail before taking a full run at it. I avoided the jumps, leaving them for another day...

Просмотров 2725 лет назад
I have two young boys and I want to get them into mountain biking. I think fun is the key, skills and fancy bikes can come later. I took my boys to Lochore Meadows in Fife, Scotland last weekend and filmed them exploring the triails. We found a small skills track and even used my secret weapon, a bungee tow rope. The boys discovered the joy of riding a pump track for the first time. Lochore Mea...
MTB Slow-Mo Sessions - How Do Suspension Settings Work?
Просмотров 42 тыс.5 лет назад
I am new to mountain biking and suspension settings are a mystery to me. So I filmed my front fork and rear shock at a high frame rate and played them back slow-mo style to see what the various suspension settings actually do. My bike is a 2019 Radon Swoop 8.0, a 29er with 170mm front and rear. www.radon-bikes.de/en/mountainbike/fullsuspension/swoop/swoop-80-2019/ The front fork is a RockShox L...

Fast, Flowy MTB Tail - Drop to the Sawmill - Falkland, Fife

This is a fast, flowy gravel trail in the forest outside the village of Falkland in Fife, Scotland. If you watched my other videos, this one is a few minutes ride from the Witches Cave. I've been working on my flat corner technique and it's paying off. I got a new Strave personal record on this run! Sorry about the audio quality, I got a new GoPro Hero 7 Black and am still figuring out the sett...

Looking at my other videos I know that I am slow but on this trail I'm in the top 10 on Strava!! Which is amazing, since I am really new to mountain biking. This trail is outside the village of Falkland, in Fife, Scotland. I tried to break my Strava personal best on this run. Had to bunny hop over a large branch at full speed and dodge some pony poo all before watching out for that bottom bit! ...

A ride from the Maspie Den down to Squirrel Hill in Falkland Estate, Fife, Scotland. I'm really lucky to have great MTB trails on my doorstep. This ride isn't especially technical but it is fun. Sorry for the wind noise, I'm using an old GoPro Hero 4 and will upgrade soon.
