Regular viewers would have seen us ride some of these trails not so long ago , but we knew there were more trails to find & also they was steep and technical, so we called a good friend and local legend Matt AKA " GOAT " and he kindly agreed to show us around . uppbeat.io/t/a..
ITS 100% FREE, 100% AWESOME & 100% YOU NEED TO TRY IT .

First time riding these trails, and I can honestly say it is right up there with my favourite places to ride. The climb to the top isn't too long, and the trails are fast flowing with hidden surprises to keep you smiling and the adrenaline pumping all the way to the bottom . uppbeat.io/t/aaron-paul-low/l @Peatys @donskene @GoPro
DID I MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION ?
Просмотров 817Месяц назад
I've been trying different things to improve my confidence and riding, and the same thing kept on coming up , " Have you tried higher rise bars?" .... 🤔 so I did some research and decided to take the plunge and give them a go along with some fresh new grips , I purchased some Gusset 50mm rise bars and some great priced Peatys monarch thin grips . Would they make a difference? Let's see uppbeat....
WHAT WAS WE THINKING 🤔 Hawiian shirts in the rain. #bikeparkwales #sendit

This was our club ride out & we decided on the Hawaiian shirt theam for this ride and hoped the weather gods would be kind to us . Unfortunately, they had other plans, and it rained all day , but bike park wales rides good in all weather 👌 except the more technical reds and blacks , & it turned out to be an Epic day with Epic friends . uppbeat.io/t/aaron-paul-low/l

Mallards Pike is one of my favourite places . I have only riden here twice in the past, but we wanted to get back here and see if we could find some new and old trails. The conditions were surprisingly dry and dusty , something we wasn't expecting. uppbeat.io/t/aaron-paul-low/l

MYSTERY GUEST TURNS UP TO SAY HI ..
"Woody Woodpecker" 🤣😂Where in S.Wales is Deri?
Good to see you pushing yourself, and even better is the look of your riding buddies when you have done something they thought you might have not !
Nice video, you got my sub.....44 y/o dad just waiting for his first emtb as I type this
Nice, I love a bit of Dowies.
My first thought was dowies. And it aint that gnarly!!! lol
Footage when stopped nice and clear but quite blurry when riding 🤷🏽♂️
@thewelshwonder1965 yes I'm hoping that tomorrow it's looks better 🙏 if not it's the settings I tried 😢
I absolutely love watching you and the boys
Double intro?
@@MTBEAST007 school boy error
Epic bud 😀
great video great spot to ride gutted i missed it 🥲😂😂😂💯🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Is this Dowies? My goodness, JJ MTB said they were flowy. They're gnarly af lol
@@TheBikeRoom 🤣🤣🤣
@TheBikeRoom top half is flowy but the bottom is tech steep
Lovely to see me with the no breaks action at the start 😂
Mate this place looks mega, can’t wait to go there
We will have great laugh up there mate and your boys will love it ,
@ I’m sure we will bud
You outdid yourself today and we loved the ‘woody woodpecker’ comment.
@philjones4903 🤣🤣 thank you buddy 🙏
Great to see you ripping Deri!!
@JamesRobertMTB loved it James , looking forward to getting back there & ticking of that pallet drip in 🤙 trail builders done a fantastic jop
Top Job again, we're heading over there tomorrow for a play 😬
Have a good one 👍
@Moosemears enjoy buddy. It's a great place 👍
great video looked a tad steep even on the gopro 😵😵😵💯🤟🤟🤟fare play boys
Bloody tree huggers 😳🤣🤣🤣… good watch marra ✌️
@jaynolajones 🤣🤣🤣 cheers buddy 🤙
Fair play mate, if it looks steep on gopro it'll be near vertical for real!
@briztoleez9025 cheers dude appreciate it
Nice bit of gnar!!
Top video as always and another great day out
Jesus that place is steep as f👀k
That place looks mint ! 😃
@Tuckandrollers you need to go there guys you will love it
Class there fairplay ...the berms are so well made ...and loads of trails
Hopefully get up there next week , been taking bout going there for years . 🤦🏼😂
@Tuckandrollers I will see if the guys fancy it , will be a laugh
That would be a laugh ! 😃👊🏼
When was you up there? I was up there today with my son it would have been amazing to ride with you Vids just don’t do this place justice it’s absolutely mental lol definitely not for the faint hearted I rode from my house done 7 runs and got home with 40+ percent battery 😁
@WORKEVERYWEEKEND we was up there Sunday , will definitely be back in the next couple of weeks to give it another go , will be great to have you join us on a ride , your more than welcome anytime, join our FB group crash test dummies mtb , we post most of our rides on there buddy 🤙🤙
@ I’ll join the group in a sec 👍 Keep at it up there it’s an absolutely amazing place to ride hats off to the trail builders they’ve created a masterpiece imo
@ requested 👍
Good ride mate Keep smashing it 💪🏼💯
@Emtbwebb cheers buddy 👍
The tree hug and berm front wheel tuck looked like Mission Impossible, but you all had a crack at it which is more than I'll be doing. I do like the retro intros tbh, you know how it turns out so it's more relevant IMHO👍🤙
@TheBikeRoom nice one dude 👌 yes thought id try different intro ,
im guessing somewhere in wales?
@gordonwalmsley453 yes mate Deri south wales 👍
Has your mate had any problems with the damper in the zeb forks on the whyte e160s? I’ve got two bikes the same in gloss grey the damper failed on one of them and rockshox replaced it with the £360 upgraded damper with high and low compression I’m hoping the second bike has the same problem before the forks run out of warranty it’s a common fault apparently
Looks great fun! I need to break the barrier wih my new ebike, dont really want to ride in those conditions as my bike is brand fire new but will have to get it involved with muddy wet days at some point 😂😢 last time i rode in those conditions my motor started playing up 🤪 definitely great fun though 🤘🏼
@Emtbwebb get on it buddy it's so much fun , just spray muck off silicone spray over your bike ( not brakes 🤣) and it protects your bike 😀
@@AverageDad2022 😂😂if i spray it on my brakes i would get the fastest lap though 🫣😊🤘🏼 yeah i have started using a spray from Screwfix called OB41 silcone, its very good 👍🏻
Terrible conditions but brilliant day with loads of bants 😂
@@markh2k2 great laugh
Wowsers, fair play for sticking it out in those conditions. Sod that.
@Moosemears cheers buddy 👍 it was a tad wet and mucky 🤣🤣
great video mint day out with lots of banter and the odd crash 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯🤟🤟🤟🤟
bog fest, great day with the boy's as usual. nice to meet quan.
Horrible conditions, great footage 👍
Thanks 👍
I’m there with you Mate. I have some of those same struggles. Riding didn’t look too bad to me Mate 👍
@5492sparky thank you , yes it's hard isn't it ? Definitely need a catch up soon have a ride over Ross vagus
great video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Most of these were from when you were Average dad, you are actually really good dad now 😂
@markh2k2 cheers dude appreciated
That crash at coal dump was such a funny days ride, once we all realised you were ok. It was impressive! The fence didnt stand a chance :)
@@DarrenJones-hg2me 🤣🤣🤣 mint day Da 👌
you've got have a good lie down now and again🤣
@@strutstipher 100% 🤣🤣
Ouch but great collection, Coal Dump has had me too, not in your spot, a bit farther back up on the chute. But it's those ones where the bike stops but we don't so we're Superman for a second
Barry Sidings creases me every time 😂😂😂😂
@thewelshwonder1965 iv put a video together of it , it's on tonight , best ride ever that day at barry sidings
Been watching you since I started biking and met you at dyfi when I was with Bren and co 👊🏻. Never give in, we are all battling something ❤️
@damien_tutton massive thanks for the support my friend , hope you're all good ? Will have to arrange another trip to Dyfi , I'm due some crashes 🤣
I feel you buddy! I've struggled with mental health issues since my early 20's. I'm 54 now and in a bit of a rut with lifestyle changes, work and those around me. Become a bit of a recluse again lately and getting out with the lads at the weekends on the bike has made a huge difference. Mountain biking is great for stability, as everyone is out there for the same thing, nobody judges, riders are friendly and ticking off trails and features really lifts your mood! For me, body armor is a must these days. I was out of action for nearly a year due to an impingement after a fall at innerliethen start of season last year. really struck me hard. i got the leatt stealth pro armor and its barely noticeable under a top. just knowing its there boosts my confidence knowing there's less chance of me being off the bike for a prolonged period should i end up binning it into a tree :). keep up the good work, love the vlogs
Chin up mate, love the videos 🙌… perhaps you should head back up my local Barry sidings again? As you still have 1 of the best recorded crashes up there ever 😆…. Take care fella ✌️
@jaynolajones 🤣🤣🤣 we definitely need to get back to Barry sidings, hopefully in the next few weeks 🙏
Hi mate we all have them days, head up. I had one the other week where I’m normally a very confident rider but got some reason that day I just didn’t want you to know. Good job you got good friends around you for support
@starkeymtb5544 cheers mate 👍 we need a catch up soon 👍
@@AverageDad2022 definitely bud, will be up soon
You are doing a great job .
@philjones4903 thank you appreciate the support 🙏
I have to get up there, you're doing a proper showcase of these trails🤟
@TheBikeRoom thank you buddy
Great video 🤘🏼
@team__seed2678 Thank u for the support 🙏
Haven’t been there yet and wondered if it was worth it but it does look pretty decent there bud
@starkeymtb5544 well worth a visit buddy
@@AverageDad2022 will give it a go next time I go up
yet again another great video just gutted i missed it 🥲such a great spot too ride 😂😂💯🤟🤟🤟
Fair play - you can tell it's steep even with the go pro effect.
What a great place to ride! Was there last Thursday and that bit of trail that caught you out at 11:40 nearly had me off, I slammed my left shoulder into the tree that your mate was hanging onto!!! Didn’t seem to do any lasting damage but shoulder has gone all shades of purple and yellow as the bruise is coming out🤦🏻♂️
@nealslatter6125 got to agree brilliant place and the ride to the start of trails isn't to long , gopro does the trails no justice does it , glad your shoulder is ok 👍
