That was flippin' AWESOME. The descent, on film had me on the edge of my chair!!! I know Snowdon has been done to death recently but respect to you Austin for doing it like that. This should be a Welsh tourist board film. 👏👏👏
Great episode that route looked truly knackering, I walked it many times and I don't know just how you managed it on a bike well done thanks for sharing. Best regards Paul D U.K.
I'm a wee bit late to the party Austin. Work, Work, Work..... Well done you. That was a fair auld ascent on a bike. And the footage coming back down was excellent. Great achievement mate. You deserve a bloody good rest after that. 😉👍🚲
I remember that very first 400 yards, on the tarmac path, of the Llanberris path being really steep and we all thought, this is going to be a nightmare but it soon straightened out a bit but man, I did not realise how gig the battery was on an ebike. Looked hard work but when you get a view like that from the second bridge, all worth it and what a view indeed from the summit - stunning! Epic ride up and epic ride down, well earned rest I would say, cheers Alan
I thought the same thing at the start . I’ve never done this path before and was shocked how steep that tarmac bit was and was a bit worried about the battery at first. It is big though , I’d say it’s about in the middle of size range but lasts me well . As you say all worth it though 👍
Some of them angles with the backdrop looked wicked Austin. Llandegla next, That is a cracking trail centre and looking forward to it. There's a great buzz about the place at the cafe there after a ride . I got took out by a car this week good and proper. I was extremely lucky on this occasion.
Great vid, my wife was on the edge of her seat looking at the drop offs coming down. Beautiful country, and Wow, you are a great rider, Cheers to you guys!
Brilliant video and great biking skills also, very nice views as well, I've walked up Snowdon many times and done several routes but I don't think I could bike up there e bike or trail bike ,
Fantastic Austin what an achievement.. and a cracking day for it.. coming down looked bloody technical.. looking forward to your next instalments really enjoying the mtb vids.. ATB.. R&D :):)
Hi A & L, another fine video Austin, streamed it onto the telly, nice views from the summit of snowdon, the Ascent up the Llanberis Path seemed not too difficult but the descent down the Snowdon Ranger Path looked very challenging, , anyway I still think you need to do the ascent on the EMTB up Grib Goch, I couls sit on the saddle, joking apart though, I only walked up Grib Goch once when I was 19, 48 years ago, never again, my underpants were a bit sticky when I got to the top I can tell you and no cafe or facilities at the top, but seriosly though Snowdon is a wonderful place to be when its a fine day, another favourite is Cader Idris or Tryfan , all fine walks, One gripe I can understand the need to use music to mask out the wind noise, but the music on this was repetitive and it made my hearing aids vibrate in protest, next time how about The Sound of Music, The King and I, Carousel, or Beethovens 7th, the pastoral symphony, looking forward to the next video, although I don't think you'll beat this one very easily, kind regards to Lucy and Family as always, Ditch the beat and lets boogie !
Haha, hi Mike. i really struggled choosing the music on this one as i wanted to show a good bit of the descent but it's so long i had to loop the music so it does go on a bit. I definitely want to have a go at Cadair Idris on the bike next year and maybe camp at the top. You never know , i might even manage a Beethoven soundtrack but Yul Brynner is definitely banned lol. Hope you are both well .
Nah , love mtb tech questions 👍. Tyres are Michelin Wild Enduro , the back is the Ewild 2.8 ( 2.6 is better)and the front is standard 2.4 . Tubeless , 30 in the back and 23 in the front , I also stiffened the suspension higher than I normally have it and sped the rebound up a click and the low speed compression 2 clicks harder to avoid the dive . Bet you wish you’d never asked lol .
2 Feet Forward Great info! I’m a complete saddo who can’t help himself but fiddle with settings like my air pressures anyway! Just changed forks over to new rock shox air too So I better get out there and try it all out! Cheers
2 Feet Forward just walked the dents du midi tour in September too, couldn’t believe it when I saw someone carrying their analog bike to the top of Col du jorat!!
Good job you went up early. Have you seen photos taken on Snowdon recently of the massive queues of Instagrammers waiting in line for ages to have their picture taken on the summit. There's even been fights when people are seen to be jumping the queue.....madness!!! Glad you enjoyed it but Snowdon is not a peak I as someone living in north Wales would ever go near. Looking forward to your Llandegla vlog.
Madness isn’t it ! There was only about 4or 5 of us up there at first but the amount of people heading up from the Rangers was unbelievable. It’s usually one of the quieter paths . I made sure I was off the mountain easily by 10 but it had to be done as it’s considered one of the “rides of passage” , a list made years ago of absolute must do rides for mtbers , I’ve nearly done them all now. To be honest I was a little disappointed with Llandegla but I’d built my hopes up too much I think unfortunately. Stayed at a cracking little campsite at a fishery opposite though 👍
Yes we'll be hiking again but since we lost Marley it's been great to ride again . Just been making the most of the summer then we'll be hiking more in the winter 👍
Thanks for another fantastic video. We always enjoy the relaxing (for us) views of the country side and never get tired of seeing lush green vistas. You and Lucy keep safe and we look forward to the next one.
Thank you . Haha too right! Mines a YT Decoy 2019 . I bet Foel Grach was good , I fancy Cadair Idris next and do an overnighter as it’s got that huge shelter .

Thank you very much 👍
That looks absolutely superb, no doubt it was even better than it looked. That is definitely going onto my bucket list.
Excellent 👌👌👌
Thank you, it really was 👌👍
@@2FeetForward how long did this take you to get up to the top?
About 1h 20 mins but I did stop a lot 😅
That was flippin' AWESOME. The descent, on film had me on the edge of my chair!!! I know Snowdon has been done to death recently but respect to you Austin for doing it like that. This should be a Welsh tourist board film. 👏👏👏
Thanks mate . Can you imagine me trying to pronounce Welsh ! I'd be strung up lol 👍
Great episode that route looked truly knackering, I walked it many times and I don't know just how you managed it on a bike well done thanks for sharing. Best regards Paul D U.K.
Thank you. It was great to finally get it done 👍
I'm a wee bit late to the party Austin. Work, Work, Work..... Well done you. That was a fair auld ascent on a bike. And the footage coming back down was excellent. Great achievement mate. You deserve a bloody good rest after that. 😉👍🚲
Thanks Andy , looks like we’re going to get that rest now 🙄
Awesome Bud, can’t wait to ride with you when I’m fixed
We should do a weekend in Wales next year 👍

Shit , did the bike come off unscathed as well?
@@2FeetForward wobbly front wheel pal.
Great vid, my wife was on the edge of her seat looking at the drop offs coming down. Beautiful country, and Wow, you are a great rider, Cheers to you guys!
Thank you very much. It really is a stunning part of the country. Cheers.
Brilliant mate, well done. Have to get some of that next year on the ebike.
👍🏻
Cheers mate , definitely worth it 👍
It is such an achievement Austin.Be proud of yourself.Looking forward to another video.Very motivational and inspiring people you are with Lucy 🌹
Thank you very much 👍
Another great video-thaaaat looks like a tough ride!
Thank you , it was hard but well worth it 👍
what a ride. It's amazing that the bikes can take that rocky roughness. The ride down was spectacular!
Thank you. It never ceases to amaze me what you can do on modern bikes these days 👍
Love from Manchester, top video #EMTB
Thank you 👍
Brilliant video and great biking skills also, very nice views as well, I've walked up Snowdon many times and done several routes but I don't think I could bike up there e bike or trail bike ,

Thanks guys . It was such a techie descent it was brilliant, right up my street 👍. Hope all is well with you 👍
Epic ride, really do look forward to your vids. Cheers
Thank you 👍
You certainly had the weather for it, great vlog ! 👍🏻😉
Thank you 👍
Well done, that was a huge achievement and a good watch too. I imagine its pretty tiring on your arms on that lomg decent too.
See you on the hill.
👍
Thank you. Yes I’d say it’s harder on your arms due to the arm pump but well worth it ⛰👍
Awesome! Good effort!
Thank you 👍
Really into that E-bike my friend.. One outstanding ride that I would surely hurt myself trying... LOL I will leave that to the experienced riders...
I love that bike mate . Been trying to get this one done for years 😁

Every time we go to Snowdon we stay at the Royal Victoria hotel, nice bar isn't it🍺
Yeah it is a good one 👍
Epic bike ride - well done...
Cheers John 👍
That was really great. Legs burn on the way up. I would imagine it's the arms that burn on the way down?
Thank you. Yes definitely a bit of arm pump 😫
Wow!
Thank you 👍
Really enjoyed vid well done looks awesome how long would it take to walk that path 😎👍
Thank you. I’d say about 1 1/2 - 2 hours 👍
2 Feet Forward thanks for that 😎👍
Love it!! Bit of a random Q - what tyres and pressures are u running on that Rocky stuff??
Nah , love mtb tech questions 👍. Tyres are Michelin Wild Enduro , the back is the Ewild 2.8 ( 2.6 is better)and the front is standard 2.4 . Tubeless , 30 in the back and 23 in the front , I also stiffened the suspension higher than I normally have it and sped the rebound up a click and the low speed compression 2 clicks harder to avoid the dive .

We saw a biker coming down that as well 👍

Hells bells that was a bone shaker on the way back mate. Plenty of scope to go arse over tit 🥺 good on ya! A great achievement 😎
Cheers .I nearly did a couple of times .
No more walking Austin? 😒😢
Yes we'll be hiking again but since we lost Marley it's been great to ride again . Just been making the most of the summer then we'll be hiking more in the winter 👍
@@2FeetForward excellent looking forward.
why push your on an ebike
Have you done this ride?
Yeah , thought not 🙄
Brilliant Austin great riding, what was the music called on the way down, it really complemented the video, that and the scenery
Thank you, the track is called "Through the static" by Keppel Skies but i got it from Epidemic Sound so i'm not sure where else you can get it from .
@@2FeetForward Cool thanks Austin
Wow! My adrenaline is still pimping from watching that ride down! Unreal!! Happy hiking and biking!!
Cheers David 👍
Awesome vid bro nothing beats a beer at 8.30am. I made it down ok no issues. Good luck in future
Cheers mate 👍 The wife loved the "other" video 😂
Thanks for another fantastic video. We always enjoy the relaxing (for us) views of the country side and never get tired of seeing lush green vistas. You and Lucy keep safe and we look forward to the next one.

Brilliant Austin did you use turbo lol what ebike have you got I’ve taken mine over to Foel Grach shelter but Snowdon well done
Thank you . Haha too right! Mines a YT Decoy 2019 . I bet Foel Grach was good , I fancy Cadair Idris next and do an overnighter as it’s got that huge shelter .
