🚴‍♂️ Exploring Bristol’s Pump Tracks: Velosolutions Adventure with James! 🌍🚵‍♂️

Join James and me in this pedal-powered escapade as we venture to Bristol, a bustling hub for pump track enthusiasts. 🚐💨 Bristol boasts some top-notch tracks, thanks to the renowned pump track and bike park builders, Velosolutions, who’ve left their mark with several tracks in the area.

Our first stop is Stockwood, a Velosolutions pump track with an extra treat – a line of tantalizing tarmac jumps. This track delivered an exhilarating blend of fun and flow, making it a must-visit for pump track aficionados.

Next on our Velosolutions tour is Hartcliffe, a slightly edgier locale but home to a fantastic pump track. Larger than Stockwood, Hartcliffe offers ample room for exploration and alternative lines for those willing to invest some time in mastering the track.

Heading into Bristol center, we explore tracks nestled conveniently for some park-and-pedal action. Arnos Vale, however, left us a bit disappointed, showing signs of winter neglect and riding less smoothly than expected.

Our adventure takes an unexpected twist when, en route to the next track, a puncture cuts our Bristol exploration short, leading us back to the van.

Fear not, as we’re gearing up for a swift return to Bristol to conquer the tracks we missed. 🔄

What is up YouTube we are going Urban this week I am here in Bristol and I am on my brand new Jump bike and I’m doing a tour of the V Solutions pump tracks in Bristol cuz there’s so many of them and they are hands down these sickest pump

Tracks about so we’re going to be taking you to a couple of them today something a little bit different so I hope you enjoy it one sick thing about this pump track as well you’ve got the main pump track down there I’ll Zoom you probably can’t see but they’ve also got a tarma

From the top line of jumps all the way down to the bottom and kind of around there so I’m going to push up and have a little there’s James down there oh that angle bad yeah he’s finally joined me so you’re going to have a little push up and roll down them

Not going to try and clear them the first time because I’m a but uh yeah let’s go for a rip first time through then we’re just going to roll nicely not trying to get air off anything they’re actually kind of big they’re quite big not going to lie

For my limited jump bike experience these jumps are probably a little bit on the big side for me and I’m a bit scared of the concrete James is going to have a run through them I mean obviously this is just his first run through oh making uh making noises so nice and

Quiet though with all the children at school I enjoy it it’s scary it is terrifying isn’t it I don’t know what I’m doing no these jumps are a little bit hard for me at the minute for now but the actual pump track’s sick onboard footage oh yeah GoPro how’s the

Previewing going Tech Guy it’s good oh look there I am a camera Inception oh uh the phone wasn’t recording oh no your GoPro wasn’t recording I’m recording now because apparently he’s not being very techy over there you should have seen the angle though I got too excited very butthole I’m going

Why are we getting the beat machine out of pump track very well right preview of the pump track there’s going to be people out there that can ride it way faster than me but for a Nory here you go a pump track yeah and you can carry on if you

Want but I’m lazy I like the bike I like the the bike you ready for the next pump track how’s loading the van going really well that one was Stockwood and which one are we going to next we need to have a look on Google so V Solutions a great pump track rubbish

Area focus is that this one heart Cliff oh that one looks quite good should we go to that one heart Cliff it’s a long boy I think that one right and then we’re like the next scene will be here this is our time lapse tripod driver you can tell a lot about

An area by things like shopping trolleys and graffiti and massive shs is that Stonehenge oh yeah Stonehenge for all the American viewers of the channel this is Stonehenge woo here comes the butt cheek B oh no no oh I don’t like the bum cheek no I didn’t like the bump

Hole good exra YouTube per reference this is the butthole I’m going to run around this like this is the curve the crack there’s for reference James’s butthole and then it goes around here that middle the crack oh and yeah butthole yeah I think it was all right should we do that

Again right let’s try a different line in but YouTube what is wrong with her tell us what you think is wrong with her in the comments this pump track is pretty good fun there’s loads of graffiti on it though so we’re going to give you a tour

Of the graffiti and show you what it says aart bike also say bike send suck is that a ghost pizza oh spooky and delicious AIX suck here’s an offboard preview of the pump track it’s actually impossible to ride that bit without shouting butthole by the way guys but but hole

B oh who fued up the zoom there it was probably friend next why are you filming this just add some character to the Vlog what you mean just show everyone how much of an idiot I am yes they deserve to know what get air off this one

No look I’m just turning around yeah we’re going to say this is a little bit too in the skate park yeah I don’t think this bit’s parking guys thank you get air off it don’t know how to park apparently not so we were just driving to the next

Destination we came across this at the side of the road which looks like a skate park so we’re going to have a little walk around it and see if there’s anything that we want to ride so far we don’t yeah it’s just full of criminal activity look we’ got fly

Tipping I like the Ron of the fire extinguishers that’s been burnt yeah got this little kicker that just EES you into a road yeah bus has literally just gone past here I feel like this skate park is a little bit more probably skateboardy than biky and that’s the end

Of the skate park so yeah we’re going to carry on driving we’re not going to be riding this one there’s some really nice graffiti over here though look at this lady picking her nose nice doing crimes you just hit the GoPro he’s going to do some crime

Though that paint can I want to get out of here cuz I don’t want him to do crimes on my van no I don’t do crimes on your van either enjoy your crimes back on route to the train station yeah but then we’re going to ride to the next skate park we’ve

Arrived at the next location and this isn’t actually where the pump track or skate park or anything is we’re at Temple Ms and we’re going to pedal to the next one very unbrand for us we didn’t set off from James’s house until about midday and it’s winter so it’s

Getting dark how far away is it 1.7 miles that’s like 12 miles in dirt jump bike distance we’ve got one gear one gear no dropper post so we’re going to be standing up pedaling all the way there exercise let’s go Jam just took the fun way oh

No so far I’m just following the signs to exit exit I found it oh perfect right now we well this is definitely one of the finer bits of Bristol look at these cranes oh yes we’re still on the roof are we that way oh no he’s not very good

At directions he just turns and off and doesn’t say we’re turning here Google all right Tom Tom National cycle Network and there’s a river and stuff and it’s more pretty than there’s left yeah that’s it the bridge supposed to be going you joking no I mean it does look like Rusty and we

Might die where oh it’s over that way oh that bu in it oh no did you enjoy your pedal no no what’s it like oh that Fu divot there it’s loose is it um I mean it’s awful actually I don’t know that I want to ride it I think that that’s probably the

Worst pump track I’ve ever ridden I might be able to clear some of these terrible jumps I think you should give it a go I think they’re awful cut to me hopefully clearing the terrible jumps we probably could have found a better last pump track to come to cuz this one’s

Actually terrible I will insert the name of it here cuz I can’t actually remember it but just so that you uh if you are in the area there’s better pump tracks around like the last two that we went to here we go he’s in it just looks

Oh I mean he’s actually done quite well like he’s got round it all I I don’t think I’m going to have the same luck but I’m going to go and try so you reckon don’t jump the first one pump it yeah oh yeah Loos and gravel no that’s

Awful that no Brun way with the one on the other side of town 18 minute cycle should we try it 3.4 miles Aros Mana pump track not very good but we have found another one that we’re going to try and have a little go on before it

Gets dark heads up though to anyone that does want to go on a little bit of a jump bike Mission they’re not that bad for pedaling cuz they’ve got so much air in the tires that they roll really well disclaimer they’re really bad for pedaling no I think they’re all right

The logs are completely flat or down here yeah yeah you don’t want to be pedaling it uphill there’s something clicking I just pulled that stick out of my tire and uh well we’re back to the van I think so right let’s get rolling cuz it’s got like 60 PSI so roughly the way

Okay all right now we’re playing race to get back to the van before um my puncture ends play this seems like a mistake oh it’s not a mistake this seems like a bad idea sitre it’s doing well at the moment try and put her leg out instead of

Leaning into the turn for some reason it looks really awkward and she almost hit the fence made it back to the van successfully are we calling it a day and going to go get some snacksack yeah all right then snack and a beer and a beer

Sweet and let let us know in the comment if you want to see more eating challenges SL snacks so we finished our bike ride now and we’re going to go to here just by the London Eye by the London all you can eat restaurant your looks like a bum hole
