So it’s another day it’s another bike ride me and Jess today have come to Phillips Park so Jess is on a hard tail I’m on my ebike this is the Black Dog trail at Phillips Park in Manchester so this is one of Jess’s kind of usual

Routes that she goes on herself I don’t quite often come but today I’ve got some trail tools with me cuz Jess was saying there’s a couple of the jumps down here which are really really rotted after obviously freeze four freeze four all winter so now hopefully we won’t get any

More freezers I’ve come down with some tools Jess has come down for a ride we’ll hopefully do some digging get some riding done and take you long for it so here we go I’m at the top of the trail Jess has gone off to the other loop first I’ve obviously got tools

Sticking out my bag so i’ got to be a little bit careful not to clip anything on the way down down on the ebike going to drop in see how the conditions are find the jumps further down there and see if they need any work doing to

Them so far so good so this Trail was actually built by the guys up from Farmer John’s so I think it was a council Grant or something along those lines but it was the builders from pharmer Johns that came in built this section and it does get quite a lot of

Abuse a lot of people ride it more than more than I expected to be fair Jess comes up here quite a bit for her Loops but yeah lots of other people ride it too including Danny who’s a subscriber on this channel I’ve met and ridden with once he rides

Up here with his son it’s a cool little spot so this one will hopefully make it ride better for you and your lad Danny okay so what can be done here so cleared out load of drainage someone’s got to do it a it I

Did it a week I put of rocks in here know where that brick is there so I’ll always step aside and let Riders ride at the end of the day that’s what it’s here for is it I’m Josh nice to meet you I’m nice meet right see you have a good ride little

Bit yeah so I’m going to take you on a little tour Village Park this is my second rundown I’ve done one of each side just to check there’s no trees so quite often trees fall down here there are a couple on this side but they ones that have been there for ages

I know about them so this is the left side and it starts off quite fast it’s a little bit steep just some little super trick one there’s two sides to Filip the left and the right they both finished and round about the same place and then you pedal up the

Hill and you start again from the same starting point quite pedy there are some jumps on the other side but this is when I come to quite a lot of my cuz it’s not too far I can do like four or five laps within like an hour and a half or

So so it’s quite good if you want a little pedal little Cardio [Applause] Blast another quite fast section which is quite fun got a great here because down to S the Tre down this one been down for a long time luckily I’m small than acing just about just under it there’s another

One down the next corner is not as bad tap down think maybe tall around that and then I do a little HP of that brid is good fun yeah we’re nearly at the end a Little Rock I do s to bring it out into the open bit bit get gee the trees

Getting a bit low near it and it brings you out into the open and then it’s a bit of a climb up back to the same starting point now do the back side see the key with Trails like this because in the material you don’t

Want to dig it away it’s been laid over the top so if you dig it away you just eroding the trailer making it un able in the long term so you got to spend that effort spend that graft and while it’s wet smack all of the bra all of the

Grooves out level it back off not taking any material away just leveling it back off so that now as it dries out as we come into spring it’ll dry out a bit flatter and not with massive tram trap grooves in it all the time I mean that’s

For the Run going round the jump that’s not people doing the jump but I can’t leave 4 in deep rots when I’ve got a spade and I’m working so bit more smacking and then maybe move onto some of the actual jumps seem this is technically just a setup jump woo it’s warm work

Okay all the ruts taken out there packed all back down pack that down the best I can given it is still wet cleared out the the drainage and considering this is just the first prej jump let’s move down the line so I’ve been doing lots of digging

Lots of clearing of the drainage it seems out a jump now I may as well at least try one bang it on the E Bike seem I have got my bike here I may as well do a little bit of riding fun to blast a little no

Far not a bad little jump for it either now I guess I better stop having fun riding my bike and go back to seeing if any of the trails down there need fixing so I’ve done the climb back to the same starting point but this time going to peel off to the

Right let just down this little bit then you have to stop across the road and then your bike W fit through here so you have to get off you get it through but then once you’ve done that bit you then just stay on the bike it’s just that funny little down and across

Bit so the right side is the side with a few jumps which Josh is currently fixing because in the winter cuz it’s got so wet and muddy there’s loads of grooves especially in the first one which means you can’t really do the jump because you go up and it you just

Wobble H me you can make that a bit better one of the things about Phillips though is that it holds with water so in the winter no matter even if it’s not rained it’s just so muddy so wet and then anytime it does rain like this week it’s then gone

Really wet again and you do get very dirty very wet I actually came I think last week and it was the first time where I wasn’t really filthy but then a bit of rain and it’s gone back to needing all waterproofs and needing a change of

Clothes but it’s still good so now just coming up to the jumps to the first one I’m just going to roll CU that’s the when we l the gloves in lookit and do that one and roll a this jump that I roll of that one I have

Jumped that in the summer but it’s like I kind of little dble and we’re not doing the first jump because I’ve only done it for the first time last summer oh that was nice just not sure if I can do it but yeah then at the end there table

Jumps a bigger one and a smaller one you do have to Pedal hard but you need a lot of speed even now when my technique for jumping has got a bit better I still really have to ped on really try but sometimes I just set in that little

Bit if you don’t fancy all the pedaling you can just right down there do the jumps and push up along the side and I’ve done that in this summer not a huge amount I can do to this one not horrifically bad or anything but I can give this training

A little clear out here so it flows nice and fast right that’s flowing much better on to the next okay same kind of principle here can’t do too much to the track but I can definitely sort the root of this drainage cuz it’s got all clogged up take out these

Branches so I’m trying to do the big of the jumps just been sessioning it my legs have got a bit tired and let start from up there that was it was so I’m following Jess in Jess is just going to hit the little one she’s

Done a few runs on the big one now obviously I’m going to hit a big one so started to rain we’re starting to head up however little notice I brought a monster can in with me I have finished my monster can my monster can goes in my

Bag to come off the trail with me so this doesn’t happen come on guys you got to be better than that getting a little rain now so we’re going to go okay so packed up got the tools back in the backpack we are heading out I think Jesse’s going to hit this little

One one more time on her way out so taking my litter with me I don’t have a bag big enough to come down and do a lter pick down here today but I’ll have to at some point but get Jess’s last Run so now I’ve got to go try to keep up with that on the trail with tool sticking out my bag wish me luck that was a pretty good one h yeah like And subscribe
