  • After many years of loyal service the G is taking some time off. Maybe in the meantime I've found a worthy replacement? Maybe i've purchased a heap...only time will tell.
    In this episode I stop by for some laps at a rad trail jam and introduce the new MTB transport solution!!

    A van that comes with a passenger seat…. with an engine in it. A seat with an engine…. and a van without an engine to go with it. You could take out the seat with an engine in it and race it down a skate-park trail by attaching it to a skate board, except you’d be sitting down, obvz. A new sport then. A sport where the powered skate board comes with its own seat and transport to the park. Why hasn’t this been done before? Great vid btw, one of your best 🎉

    It's all about character, and it's got that. Just don't go anywhere with hills. The compartment under the floor is for the bodies. "The carrycot" (because you take your baby around in it). Love it.

    Dude, that is EPIC!!
    So nice that you opted for a cheap van. It would’ve been so easy to have got a tricked out VW or Sprinter, had a company turn it into a mobile luxury bike hotel on wheels for you, and posted tonnes of content to pay for it.
    Instead you went for what most of your viewers would see as an affordable option! Something that is fun, different and totally relatable to your younger subscribers! Top Job!
    More of this please!!!

    They are a lot of fun to chuck around although get used to feeling like you are about to tip over - we used rag around in the bedford rascal version using it as our pool vehicle for climbing trips as students in the early 90s - based in the Peak, we made it from Portland and Cornwall in the south to the Ben in the north, west to Wales and a couple of jaunts out to Font. You could easily fit 8 in it and because they were wedged in, they did not get chucked around too much! When only 1 or 2 up, we used to carry a couple of bags of sand for some low down weight to reduce that tipping over feeling/reality.

    I used to have a Carry, you're going have some fun in the dirt with that thing, get that arse end swinging and it only stops when you want it to.
    Only drawback, besides being the size of a tuna can, is it ability to get "bogged" in 2" of sand over hardpack. A bag of cement over each wheel well fixes that, and gets the back end swinging even better 😂

The van version seems to be way less common than the truck too. Your low mileage would certainly make it more valuable 😂 a very cool unit 🤙🏼 love your content btw!
