If your bolts don’t rattle loose your bones will 🇪🇸Mountain Biking Spain

Even after riding a thousand trails all over the world, there are still plenty of surprises left to discover. Our guide Vic calls this trail Very Freaky, and it was a million little rock slabs all tied together into one trail.

It was like riding a jackhammer, but when you got going fast it was amazing. It rained the night before and I was afraid of slippage, but the Spanish sun torched any residual water pretty quickly.

Me amigos good morning from all Bosch Spain further south now we left Alta yesterday in a crazy rainstorm and we made it in the van in the RV in the Mik trail rider mobile but first I had to get some service on my bike at the bike shop

I had stripped out the bolts on my my stem cuz as you know if you’ve been watching the previous videos I had this horrible Creek coming from my headset or my handlebars or something and I think it was in my my stem and I was tightening and loosening and tightening

Loosening and I totally stripped out the bolt so thankfully the hobro bike shop in all foz took care of me i got new bolts so good baby ok today’s adventure is being put together by Vic and a knot of mountain biking’s bank.com and this is what it’s all about right here big mountain

Adventures oh yeah it’s a little cold it was raining all night and yesterday it’s nippy we’re right about 5800 feet right now we just climbed and climbed and climb and climb it’s awesome of course once again we’ve got Andrew from ik trail rider joining Elan we’ve been ping

Ponging on the video so the last video in costa blanca super cool that was back on his channel if you missed it go back go back and watch it and of course he’s on the dv8 bike once again but look at what we have here we’ve got Ben Jones

Himself in the flesh from my famous Mont Blanc enduro and Lake to Lake and look at it’s a new dv8 bike with no gearbox high pivot point brand new it’s got what two rides on it a production sample they’ve they’re going hard they’ve got they’re going 29 or hi pivot point it’s

A whole new world pretty cool they call it the Spanish outdo as the road bikers come right up here all right chasing dick down what in the world unlike anything I’ve ever seen here we go a little worried about slippage because it’s a little wet but I’m gonna

Have to just test test the grip here so this region in Spain has a lot of marble this is not marble this is something else entirely slate okay and this is so Vic said a few times when he’s taking clients down that they look at it and

They’re like we’re going down that I was thinking a bit of the same I got the master of the endo turn behind me Ben Jones so I think I’m gonna let him go ahead and see what I can learn let’s see some magical yeah there we go

This is I’m gonna learn through osmosis here my backpack got bad I love it man this is craftsmanship this is built this is a trail this isn’t just like a random piece of rock out here these were cutting blade split slidin away warming up them this is the sierra de

Las palabras mountain range this feels a lot more like Arizona the Vics been living in Spain for eighteen years and he’s been a guide on and off since the late 1980s he’s got mountain biking in his blood man I’m sure he felt like I did when he

First came out here and started to see these old hiking trails and take a bike down it and be like wow this is really something special and now to make that your career to bring people and share it with them and see how excited they get to experience it that’s it’s pretty magical

Wow continues to switch back yeah that’s the vision of a fek okay so this root is called very freaky yeah it’s a play on words yeah that’s great Vic said this part gets more change how to get more chunky yeah the wall ride alright I want to

Follow this new bike that’s just like the worst trail to do a shakedown right this is the first I’ve been through this bike I think it’s just everything feels so different and weird you’re not gonna really get a handle on your suspension setup and all that stuff maybe but see

It was just too cool that the us the wall ride this totally was not the trip so just a couple days ago been finished up his last guiding tour he’s uh merged his business sold his business to Julia from endless trails and he is working on the dv8 bike now full-time haha

The new model he’s riding right now is called the Highlander does he’s Scottish even though he doesn’t sound like it pail of a switchback this is so crazy it’s the first time I’ve ever been like ah downhill bike would be kind of cool man this it’s so funny because I think

Of this if I was a guide and I was gonna try to bring clients on stuff I’m like there’s no way I could do it but I guess I would be under estimating the abilities of my clients because this is it’s really quite crazy but it’s it’s pretty fun too

A few stories could be told from this old ruin I’m sure kind of cool when you could build a house out of the stuff that’s laying around on the ground nearby I think I’ve had six or seven mandatory hand rest breaks get the feeling back in the phalanges

That was cool had the endo turn and then got hung up with another wheel catcher and then the saddle made contact with the old low-hanging fruit big hole olive trees a couple of years old I’m sure maybe 300 haha girl our motorcoach nice okay we’re up at the

Top for another run after our shakedown run I’m gonna be able to keep up with these guys but try so Vic was saying they’ve done races out here and they start at the water trough right there and then it will go down to the ruins and that’ll be a split like that’s one

Course cuz doing the whole thing would be ridiculous Oh Oh brush back just hey yeah finding that right level of looseness got to be able to turn and avoid obstacles that is a hell of a little rock at the end of that I remember it from the first yeah

Oh the data processing going through my skull right now Wow I’ve got like half my vision on Andrew I’ve seen what line he’s doing and then half right here it’s so different when you’re going full speed yeah pretty nice temperature actually it’s definitely chilly left makes it easier on us

Sound effects have to be good on left-right-left Oh Oh chains off again ya got me safe got to be safe if only they made something that would keep your chain on somebody should invent something like yeah never ridden the bad trail in Spain that’s a fact

Yes go gotta get that front wheel kind of planted kind of to be dead stopped but your movements and still have to be going it’s hard to show off the riding on the gloves here but these are the bkx II just go ride gloves no pretense just

Go ride a shop dot b KX e dot bike Andrew said the last time he vote rode this trail and like pulled muscles in his forearms cuz he was riding his trail bike it was just too intense and he said that was the last time his forks worked

Properly as well murder on equipment so offer that section okay now the hands feel feet up again for that most of that top section my hands were way better hold on Shane hold on it’s still on there I look down which is probably the most dangerous thing you could do Oh wiki

Yeah time for some lunch we’ve got mrs. MacPhail Ryder as our shuttle driver apparently the public pool has a pretty good lunch swimming looks a little green at the moment though food food food food food fabulous so good I’m so full but we got to keep riding

So we were eating lunch right about there and then massive not flip and this is also a course they stopped doing it’s too tough trying to avoid the rain or maybe snow cuz it’s so cold hooks get a little slippery full-on snapback it’s all good it was like the

Perfect timing andrew has done an awesome job of finding all these hidden gems he spent quite a few months last year in Spain traveling around so he’s ridden all this stuff and he knew that it would be right up my alley it looks so shiny so wet so disastrous

Through the tidepools it really looks like oceanic rock back home on the coast nice dude yeah it’s just a real-deal mountain biking when you’re getting pushed and you’re having an adventure and you’re seeing things you’ve never seen before whoa uh-huh see the front got slipped up

You put all that weight on there for the endo turn it’s got a plant it’s got a stick this is the Paleolithic Age and we’re going through the Jurassic game he’s definitely gonna need a bowl check after this go through see what’s rattled loose Oh

It’s funny when you do you go through do a bolt check everyone’s like what’s wrong what’s wrong like dude I’m just trying to do preventative maintenance for once in my life we had such a nice day taking on those three runs one two big monster runs and

Then one junior run after that got a shower got a kebab very very good day and now this is the morning this is the next morning I forgot to do the outro and we’re heading out the trail riders next video get on his channel tomorrow we’re

Gonna have a blast there is more to come from the Philip race area thanks for watching you guys I’ll see you on the trail
