  • This is the first video in my new series exploring riding locations in Italy, France and Scotland. This video is in Paganella bike park in the Dolomite mountains of Italy. I hire a Santa Cruz Nomad for the day.
    The trails certainly push me to the limits of my skill.

    Great video definitely a gnarly ride so different to nz, ive been laid up with an ankle injury so its been one dads army video after another, very much appreciate your work, i think you have a pretty good idea what we viewers like watching by now. Have a great holiday.

    • @bestdayevermtb2

    Thanks Lance for sharing that first episode of your Holiday ride . It definitely looks amazing definitely different from New Zealand trails and including the mountains etc . I’m so looking forward to seeing you both on the next episode. Are you planning on posting up every Saturday night or twice a week like last time

    • @bestdayevermtb2
      @bestdayevermtb2  28 дней назад +1

      Will see how we go regarding uploads. Don't want to spend the whole holiday editing. Have been on several scenic rides with Jacqueline and didn't film as makes for easier day out.

    going to paganella on thursday. i'm closing 806 this year hopefully!!
    btw, where is the apt you rented located? I stay in a hotel usually but would definitely consider a setup like that next time. do you have a link or a name? Thanks

    • @bestdayevermtb2
      @bestdayevermtb2  19 дней назад +1

      The place was called Casa Solaris. Just a nice couple who had an apartment above their place. Very friendly and super helpful. We booked it through booking.com
      We like apartments as they have kitchens and often washing machines. We eat most meals in the apartment. Saves heaps of money on food and drinks.

    Hey lance, enjoying your videos, would be real cool if you could put some nz prices up of accommodation, car and bike hire etc.

  • @jeanmarc_in_Hudson
    @jeanmarc_in_Hudson 28 дней назад +1

    Beautiful! I can definitely relate to “You’re not as good as you remembered…” 😆
    How long does it take you to adjust from e-mtb to mtb, given the difference in weight & handling? Great video thanks! 👍

    • @bestdayevermtb2
      @bestdayevermtb2  28 дней назад

      The biggest differences is the lack of power when you stall on the rocks and the bike is less stable in the air and more likely to pitch you over the bars. The Steam bike is easier to maneuver in some situations and is certainly easier putting on lifts.

    • @jeanmarc_in_Hudson

      I understand OTB, though I find myself equally adept at it mtb or e-mtb... 🙄

    • @bestdayevermtb2
      @bestdayevermtb2  28 дней назад

      Grippy when dry but scary slippery when wet. After lunch it rained and I did a black. Nearly threw my toys out the cot. Sadly most of that footage was lost but big video still to come.

      Loving 🥰 the travel tips and Nz prices thanks for showing us the ropes. Trails look looooong from the top. How many laps did you do in a day? Was that a bday? Do they have toilet 🚽 paper 📄?

      Sadly that is not on our plans. So far have no rides with people organized for Italy. This ride was awesome but I would have loved to have ridden with other people.

      That is Santa Cruz for you. I could have got an e bike cheaper.

    Geez must be some manhours in all that woodwork. Looks and sounds kind of like you might be thinking about getting one of those non engined ebikes for back home. Oh and I tjhink you may need to work on your Italian to english translation. I may have a solution to your not liking Skiddy. Think of it as technically technical and you know you like a bit of technical

    • @bestdayevermtb2
