So good mate! That was a heavy case, my heart flipped and I thought you were going over the bars. Old Tom is such a fun trail even though I hardly hit any of the jumps.
Thanks! I think I was so happy at clearing the bigger ones early on that I dialled it down a bit too soon. You can hear me slowing on the upramp when I should have pedalled into it and capitalise on the speed of the jump before. Then there's the moment mid-air when I realise that I fucked up 🤣
No real hold up with those riders. Buttery smooth yes, but there were quite a few cases there, too. Imagine how much faster I could have gone! A third run would have seen me clean those up.
Worth a visit along with a number of other new trails in the region that I'm keen to see more of. I'm running a GoPro Hero 12 with the max lens mod. I wasn't running superboost on these trails which gives it a larger field of view but allows the viewer to see the bike movement. I'm not sure if I need to angle it up slightly but I quite like to see the bike move around, it's more dynamic.

@@Sportilium I have seen a few people knuckle that same jump. One friend hit his helmet on his handle bars. An extra pedal sounds like the way to go.
I recently rode long way around and jump stumper. Really enjoyed the trails but the climbs are big, would recommend shuttles
Yeah some of the gravity trails can be a bit pedally, too. I highly recommend Sapphire Coast Shuttles.
@@Sportilium great trails
Catching two riders, you animal 🤘
Those first two big gaps were like butter 👌

Nice run. Looks like a good trail.
It was!
i rode it when it just opened. such a good track
Certainly enjoyed this trail and Prana but both have a fair bit of pedalling
Progressed a lot mate, good job
Thanks Lucas. I’ve got a new found confidence and feel like I’m riding well right now.
That's looks cool! Need to get there....
You got a new camera? Video quality has taken a step up. Not sure about the 180 degree lens angle though 😁

@@Sportilium I think you got the angle pretty good. Got a good view of the trail. And nice work on those huge jumps as always!
