I am a runner and cross country skiier, so this mountain biking stuff is new to me. Super cool! Might be my next hobby i pick up. I am amazed at how well your bikes and tires handle the ride. Seeing those jagged rocks would make me think these trails were impossible, but impossible is nothing! Thanks for these awesome videos! I don't ride MTB but i feel a connection with anyone who cherishes the great outdoors and the challenge they present us. Never stop exploring!
If you pick up as much trash as you can see on Snowden you'll be there a while. It's probably the busiest mountain in the UK because a lot of people do charity walks up there and also the narrow gauge railway to the summit. A strange summit as you get to the top and are greeted by hordes of people and a cafe, you obviously got away with it with your early start. A beautiful mountain despite all that and great descent down Rangers. You can see Ireland from the top on a clear day.The path you refer to is an exposed knife edge ridge called Crib Goch, it's treacherous in winter, but not so bad in summer, I've hiked across with my baby in a pack.
I hiked snowdon back in 2015, when I was about 11 years old, one of the best experiences of my life so far, I can’t imagine how good it would be to bike it, awesome video!!
@@turtle8427 i did it at 7 months old. i was being carried on my mother back up Snowdon at the time lol. she did it with a large group of mothers to raise funds for child cancer research. a just and noble cause.
What makes BKXC better than all the other channels is that you take the time to stop and appreciate your surroundings whilst riding. Ultimately that's what it's all about, being out in the open and enjoying life. Don't change anything about the channel, you're doing great.
ANOTHER WELSH VID!! YEEEWWW!!!!! I'm so glad you mentioned the voluntary agreement for bikes on Snowdon.. Many people DO NOT realise there is an agreement and bikes are not supposed to be ridden on the mountain between 10am and 5pm between May and September. Glad you enjoyed MTBing in my country dude and gutted I didn't get the chance to shred with you.
The problem is that some people don't stick to it and baffles me as with so many people on the track it just ain't worth the hassle so to do it in October is much better.
Going back and watching this again after having ridden Snowdon a few weeks ago as part of a bikepacking trip. We ended up coming up Rhyd Ddu and down the Rangers. That ridgeline was so bloody sketchy walking up with a fully loaded bike on the shoulders on a fairly windy day. After descending Rangers (which is mint by the way), we realised that my mate had lost his roll mat somewhere, so ended up going the whole way back up, looking for a small grey cylinder in fields of small grey rocks. We never found it in the end, but had a proper blast hooning down to LLanberis on 40kg bikes.
We used to do this ride in February with the new starters at the Manchester University MTB club, it was called the Snowdon Death Ride. We seemed to loose a few members by the time the March ride came along, cant think why...... Its also good to see you got a puncture, it is not a snowdon ride without at least one of your number getting a puncture
Thank you for keeping our planet clean bro. I'll never be able to hike this because of my disability but this video was so fun man my eyes keep welling up. I don't know if it's intentional but this age of technology lets me share experiences I'd never have otherwise. This is beautiful thank you for this upload.
I only thought about death every other second while watching this. This trail feels like a living death haha. Glad you made it out alive and keep up the insane videos!
The first, and only time, I have been up Snowdon was when I was 7, some 48 years ago. We followed the "Pyg" trail. When we got to the top it was shrouded in mist but I got to stand on the summit stone all the same. Was a great adventure for a 7 year old kid and it was one of my favourite holdiays (we drove a camper van around the UK for a week) from my childhood. This video has inspired me to make the trip again. Maybe not on a MTB though as I am pretty much a novice.
I remember carrying my bike (Proflex 550) up the Ranger Path in 1990/1991 era. Then whizzing down the Railway path, much to the bemusement of walkers at the time.
Loved this video, amazing trails. The thing I liked the most is all the positive comments from the Britts, you really struck a good chord with this ride.
8:32 there goes your wrapper! lol ;) But serious respect for feeling bad about letting it go in such a beautiful vista and picking up after others to balance the universe.
Snowdon is a great ride but a good tip would be run really high tyre pressure. its not uncommon to get 2-3 pinch flats in a decent (I know from experience lol) great vid.
best thing for punctures like that are the rubber "dog turds" as we call them you stick in the slit with a little fork. never ride in the mountains without them, that foam looked ridiculous!
Mordor was actually based on North Wales, The "Shire" is Warwickshire. JRT was from that part of the world, The "Lonely Mountain" is aparently The Wrekin in Telford
I’ve lived here 7 years. Not rid in over 10. Bought my new bike the other day after checking out the scene here. watching your videos of north wales definitely helped in my decision. Literally bought a bike 3 hours after watching one. Love the vibe, the energy, the scenes and the quality videos keep up the good work
Wow 25km ride with a 1300m of elevation gain.Looks like You are riding here in Minas Gerais (a brazilian state) , Its a very mountainous terrain. If someday You travel to Brazil, be sure to come here, we dont have the kind of trail infrastructure found on USA or Europe, but the nature alone sort of compensate this.Good Video! Thanks for sharing.
Giuliano Lellis Man, I'd _love_ to ride the trails around Poços de Caldas. Been in the city for a union con meeting last month, and was really envious to see the riders bombing the roadside trails. Unfortunately my state is flatter than Milla Jovovich's chest, so no epic DH rides.
Nice man, where are you from Dinner-fork? I'm from São João del Rey, its a bit far from Poços, 400km I guess,but when I was into DH racing, I raced the national champs there, two times, the track is gnarly! Sadly, I only know the DH course, its in the Cristo Hill.
I hicked that path on a school trip last year, some of us had a little bit of trouble going up it, you make it look easier going down it on a bike as well, keep up the good videos.
Beautiful scenery, gnarly ride, looked awesome. The first time I ever rode a mountain bike was in Wales, and was blown away by the buzz of bombing down a mountain.
A teacher here in the Philippines and also a bike enthusiast and I don't know why but I find your video very satisfying. Thank you so much for sharing your crazy video. How I wish I have a bike like that. 😂😂
Your cycle is very strong as like you, it never stop and you also. Go pro bro making video's like this for us, I also want to ride with you all. GO PRO🤘🤘

Rewatching this 3 years on as a North Walian who struggled to even climb Snowdon last month. Utterly mad adventure but brilliant!
Unreal landscape + legit climb + long descent = Epic Ride!
One of the best!
I got my TREK bike 2 weeks ago and I'm watching a lot of MTB videos the last weeks. This one, the best I've seen so far. Really Epic.

Hhhhhhhhh

Lol
Snowdon is hard enough on foot, to get a bike up there...hats off to you sir. Hope Welsh hospitality was on par with the ride
Haha nice!
Man so glad to have found this channel. All the ones I've seen so far are pretty much all downhill. I love that you've got the whole trail in here!

Love hearing that!!
Agree with this - the UK series has been amazing. The trails are awesome - I hope I can ride them some day!
I agree. Addicting. The scenery. My God ...majestic. Beautiful. Damn shame people litter!

One does not simply go mountain biking in Snowdon.

wales may as well be middle earth
Very cool content - the best part by far was your acknowledgement of the word 'crisps' instead of chips. Thank you, you rock.
well done! the Rhyd dhu path made me cry last time, mountain biking for MEN...
Hahaha, that's great
Nice ride
can we get a "good time and bad lines" shirt or gloves?!
Jacob Morris yeah! :)
I'd buy one in a heartbeat! That's basically my riding style lol
OK, I will make one
great view
Jacob Morris Or jerseys for biking would be cool
"they won't shut up" welcome to Wales my friend the land of sheep and mountains
I was in Snowdon last year for my A-Level Geography field trip. But the teachers wouldn't let us do mountain biking, incase we got hurt! :)
Ahh damn!
God know how you rode that so well, I'd struggle to walk down that. Brilliant video
Just about ready to quit my job and start doing this. 🤘👌🎉
Wild!
How did it go?
Need updates
this is the first BKXC video I ever watched. this help get me into mountain biking. thanks, brain!
Awesome, dude!
you weren't kidding when you said you ride the best trails in the world, jaw dropping scenery, showed some to my brother haha
Awesome, thanks dude
Best cycling ever
Been there done it loved it !
Finished up with a full welsh breakfast after ! Happy days
Hell yes!
Which is actually a full English breakfast, except it's served in Wales.
Welsh breakfast is served with cockles and laverbread.
The laverbread being seaweed.
Haha i did this last year and funny enough i actually work in petes eats
I did this today. 6 months after I got my bike. SAVAGE! Thanks for the inspiration BKXC, you do more than you know
