Spain we’re going to try should we try and walk down these steps and do it go on Cole so Todd has just spent his week in Spain love weather well I’ve been back at work all week now still spent the week in Spain and we’ve been asked by

Bik Park Wales to to their invite only Christmas D which is very nice of them and we haven’t been here when was last time we come here Rod other than the minion draw last time two years ago so I bought the ebike Todd has bought the oam

We’ve also got the rocky in case I puncture because it’s got some decent tires on it and we’re just going to hopefully get me confidence back a bit more here is that how it is back from Spain did you wash it once out there

Fresh out the bite bag had to wash it on the day it was wet yeah still got Spanish Dr look at all that Spanish mud it’s terrible and look at his back tire wow going to be grippy today so we got the I got the E Wilds

On I have punctured one already so uh the rocky is here in case you want to Nick them Wheels but I have got something to show you actually I got sent this by Rock guards it is a carbon bash plate and it goes right underneath and protects the standard bash plate

Which I’m on the second one and have a crack in it so Velcro on down the bottom now velcro’s on here and it’s got like a sticky velcro underneath this is the first time uh I’ve ridden with you on that bike is it uh yeah bars or

See bit of last minute tinkering some reason my right my break is up a bit more than it should be and then I’ll follow you see if can still ride something Okay Well that felt nice as ever never disappoints that little bit because I got armor underneath this uh dirt ledge I found out why it’s tight the other day they actually sent me a small 5′ 10 not exactly a small so uh with the armor on it does feel tight

Today got it feels like a long time since I’ve been here oh yeah mate you’re all right oh my God it’s way too long don’t worry it’ll hold it in place when [Applause] it pocket bike’s filthy already haven’t even ridden it it was looking smart a minute ago hey

It was looking smart a minute ago yeah that’s the best thing about the you don’t have to get into position with these you just look your head Central first run for jibi I’m going to follow him okay give him some down six to pod okay he’s stood up he’s already on the

Sprint ladies and Gent he’s got he’s got something to prove today good good to be back at ring with jiby it’s the second time I’ve riding with him since he did his C but now he’s back active getting loose getting active he knows his look at him hopping and bumping and jumping

Bike she’s still silent she was a bit creaky in Spain because of the Dust getting in all the grease but now she’s back to a UK soil feels good I love this bike can just rely on it it always works and it’s always Good oh jimy jumps oh the man Lander up there sorry Guys he seems confident the first time I’ve followed him in mons and you’d never know that he’s got a bit more metal in him full run from jib stamina cuz he’s a gym Beast yeah dude you tell I’m not quite there with the confidence yet no bit Breaky not really really

Or I can’t remember what that one’s like so should we do mer or rocks yeah is that right then yeah I I wouldn’t have wanted to go much Quicker Oh the Rocks feels like I’m back in Spain but it’s soaking wet F did have a wet day out there and it was Min wo rims oh dinging Yeah she’s proper Rocky what it’s worse my hands yeah feel totally out of it’s the first time I’ve Got Hand pump in ages but these aren’t very set up these Forks right then melted Welly baby after you try and keep up with you so uh Todd’s running the obviously we use the

Melon goggles he took a set with him to Spain and left him there so I’m letting them use the goggles today not very nice without them to be fair but we got two more brand new sets on the way from those guys about that time and a few spare

Lenses another blue melted well and uh just trying to get the confidence back up I’m still like feel like I’m over breaking stuff um bit you know still a bit scared on the jumps he need to get me head around it a bit and the weird thing is

Feeling tired even though I’m like training and fit just lack of doing long runs Todd’s just riding this with so much ease God I remember bringing him up here and trying to coou him down stuff Forest bump let’s do that I’ve never done that before go then let’s see what it’s Like just like little rocks and little routs for looks of things Oh Todd on the line nice waa she look like so long since I’ve ridden with Todd it’s so good bit of redage now vicious Valley and there remember racing this and you come along this bit and you’re absolutely knackered and then you got to go into all these

Dips right come on then vicious Valley going to get the speed up going to get the confidence up in there Well if I can do any sort of sticking with Todd then I know I’m doing all right oh okay surf inverted nice offline a bit there nearly into the giggle weeds who can tell me in the comments what that’s off giggle weeds and I want to get rid of me on the

Layer I’m too warm getting the confidence back slowly it’s really good to get your confidence back to actually ride with someone who’s Pace you know I mean Tod’s way quicker than me he’s probably he’s only fan in about right now but he’s still going quick in places big thing so the moment you’ve

All been waiting for noral I think it’s noral to the uplift and J’s going to send it like a mad thanks I love editing oh my God he’s in he’s in attack position already wow look how much faster he is now cuz he’s just had a poo so it’ll be lighter oh come

On breaks a bit more pump now so I can’t man Lander if I had any skill maybe I don’t I really don’t I forgot how to do it come on he one one we are on to wibbly wobbly with tiany todne ready for w tney yeah bro are it’s Manuel Willie Manuel Willian nice they weren’t there before those little gaps yes Rod nice Pull fit down there where you got a right pace on what did you think about the 100% gloves they’re nice but I get hand pump when I wear thick thick gloves yeah so but they’re a comfy glove for a thick one right I’m going to follow jibby down

Here cuz the card ran out last time we did it okay BL yeah bro that’s kick it woo yeah baby ji’s rocking it Oh going well mate rocks we have a look at that as well it says on it what it is Tech jibi Sprint power oh he’s an animal he’s a beast on the pedals can hit it oh jib smoking me off the line oh this is good I’m a fun I’m enjoying oh

Puddle can knew this I think I don’t think I’ve ever done it you were hauling at the top I came in when I slowed down it’s cuz I came into the roughest bit I’m my eyes were streaming I couldn’t see and I just panicked and like hit the brakes oh

We’ve ended up doing hot stepper [Applause] anyway oh oh She’s Tacky double this is sick Houston we have a problem just got it off the thing off the uplift turn it on power’s on then about 5 seconds later and then it just uh turns off I’ve tried faffing about with it and I can’t fix it so no power lucky we got the

Uh Ro Mountain Water do this one and take it to the van I’m just getting the right gear yeah I recorded huh am I recorded yeah go on right so this one’s the one with gaps in ACDC I think this is running on no power try it again comes on three two

One oh it’s staying on I reckon it was just a little bit of water in one of the one of the connections and it’s like shifted out now right them jumps are really nice at the top I didn’t do any of them well built there you should have

Filmed that actually it’ be better to get you filming them commander and of go of DJI for the rest of this run so making some noise what the hell’s that J fight’s working again that’s good oo sick this is fun I like it them jumps at the top you were on

Jiy but they were actually really nice didn’t have the pedal they just flowed get jibby it’s good to see jibby back on the pace and he is he’s right on it he’s faster on than earlier stuff and he is on the easy stuff at the blues I think he get bored on the

Blues doesn’t try some of these are weird though these corners but they’ll be really nice and then just like a random Rock in the middle up Me all L oh I’ve lost me speed I’ve been bouncing around too Much shrer on the big BM good they flying got that Gap all right step Down Woo you’re flying then you’re wondering about out the water inass it’s pretty obvious really my last video where I got the bike very wet I’ll show you a quick clip now have to risk it oh God I did it I got I got out deep water no oh we

So the bike’s on all right now not surprising really that was like over the top water so guys going to nurse you down acbc ACDC the top bit we just done this one but fancied it again my favorite one so far I’d say quite nice jumps real actually you built really well like

You don’t you don’t have to Pedal just flow through them that one you have to break for actually I over jumped it last round oh yeah wrong line nice Definitely on the gnarlier side of the Reds I’d say this one pretty tacky well am I going you wouldn’t think I’ve just done this

Track memory is so bad just hit my MEC on Summit who and I heard it shif in so the axis is doing its job regroup it on again that a bit better I heard it’s a sick feeling when you’re going down the track and you hear the

Mech shift itself in really when you’ve hit Summit still not AIT right just it’s still sleep in it slow come on do to eat white get the or going so the ride was cut slightly short by the usual ebike issues oh ebikes love them and hate them

Um so really enjoyed it big thanks for the invite B pot whales Martin especially we should be back definitely want to come back here over the winter and do a bit more just cuz you get longer trails in it’s better for like training um back out well we’re going to
