Super Carry there thanks that was too many words right so we got a bit of a bit of a ride now to um go over to registration or well over to the tracks we’ve already registered so I guess we can go straight to stage one apparently it’s about 25k today and about 1200 M of climbing so we’re going to state in trail get through that quite easy they means as it’s 3° um obviously got the new Troy Leon I’ve got one of me specially made vests on underneath uh Troy Lee winter Jersey and the 100% gillet some of my older ion trousers and I got the fox Flats on todne is rocking the full Royal I have actually been to Lagan once before in about probably 2014 with my mate bicks we just rode the trail Center and it was the first video I ever did on YouTube but it wasn’t it was my own personal YouTube account and I’m going to put that in the description you can have a laugh at that howad early practicing yeah early practicing 10 years all right mate you yeah good you haven’t been out yet no no so we need to go one to one to three stages first then we pick up our chip between 11:00 and 2 and it is seeding at 2:00 on stage five so we need to make sure we’ve done stage five before we seed it a couple of runs maybe so obviously guys it looks really [ __ ] around here not nice at all it’s not quite tord is it it’s not tford so we’ve caught up with Mr Hayes Purple Haze and uh we’re probably not far off stage one I should imagine I can’t imagine it’s much further been a fairway already right stage one cracky what have we got in store Steep and routy straight away and Rocky wow that’s a wake up call it’s all right in it so far not scared yet if it rains it’s going to be interesting do you want to go ahead Kyle go on I don’t want to hold you up mate got yeah definitely don’t to try and keep up with him certainly Nery is it my arms going tingly pull over and let it settle hopefully me arm can goone Kyle can ho in it’s going totally numb it’s horrible and it’s nerve damage from doing my collarbone so bit of advice off Kyle go on some higher lines oh there goes my sunm guard Sun guard bust definitely need a better sump guard on this bike definitely fruity they were right about it being fruity wow arms come back to life again now just got to pray it doesn’t happen in my race run definitely about it line spotting is it yeah wow that woke me up a bit just got to relax AR you that’s relaxing look for the lines what do you think never anything well our uh fears about it being Trail Center have been put to bed I’m going to have quarter of a bar going we go on go on car right stage two cheers mate no idea what to expect that one certainly Wok me up a bit stage one being a bit nervy now right [Music] mate oh climb glad I’m on a new bike come on Kyle this bits easy right nice ly Loy l oh car with the lines there wao wow that’s cool definitely some effort going into these tracks I play this is a lot more my cup of two than the last one this is is going to be physical this one is it for the pedlers wow see we at car look race Pace it’s a whole all different ball [Applause] game wow what a stage yeah that’s good saying I feel sorry for them bits on the them on the pedal bits come back up it’s good fun go on them roders are you in red or purple purple go on then oh my God how’s it got noise nice dude nice that was cool really cool what a stage felt mint on that then felt faster than in a scram down there sure I was double your speed down there right onwards we’re now off to uh stage three buzzing after that one felt really good down there then what you eating Todd I’m talking the talk and how can people get a hold of those the link in the description race stage start front wheel level with sign [ __ ] yes yes oh todne with a line and another line nice oh I should have pulled a bit harder for that it’s actually quite grippy them rocks to be fair hard’s getting away whoa yeah they’re surprisingly grippy these rocks most of them I speak too soon w he’s going off at tripoding you got some great lines at the start wow that’s cool there certainly British and joro uh oh I can’t think of the words standard that’s it stop thinking try riding instead that’s better W nice this is like nothing I’ve ever ridden really oh that’s going to be horrible on the normal bikes lovely Corners wow thought so far Rodney um yeah good yeah [ __ ] guys all right how Neil so we’ve just had a bit of an interview by Jamie from Tweed love who I called Neil Neil’s the boss that’s very embarrassing sorry Jamie um and the worst thing is I know Jamie as well we yeah fantastic so far so across the road and then we’re back at the center all right chops all right right timing chip is on we need to do five a couple of times so that we can seeed why am I still holding my arm up here so I’m guessing I can’t really remember May 10 years ago but uh this is the trail Center I rode here to take us up to stage four top of stage four just ditched that plastic cover from there it broke and uh let’s have it thank you very much see you later wow she’s a Rocky one s’s on it tight to we you looking ahead then by mistake definitely Rocky think a straight line that a bit on that it’s physical is it o the line there wow it’s a super long stage my arm’s going fizzy come on home don’t let me down hang on Todd bollocks arm arms come back to life oh Jesus pretty gnarly some of this considering it’s like Trail Center wow trying to keep my head bit more upright see if that helps oh big drop Christ nice can’t believe how long it is we finished so is it carrying on Wow feel like we’re back in bloody France in Euro to definitely the locals have got a massive advantage on this one knowing that head up hey that’s going to be a long stage glad that’s not the seeding stage time for me Japs flap food at the bottom gels at the top that’s what you should always remember apparently thanks to MTB strength coach stage five this is the seeding one is this five or six stages five right sound been skitching thinking we got to do six we haven’t got time that’s better so let’s give it a go this is the one we want to get right oh you mate now this feels a bit more Trail centy don’t know why I said that with a high voice ooh that’d be fun in the rain wow that’s a bit tight right so that bit is in the full race yeah and then we got pause yeah and then there’s this bit where it continues but the next bit is where seeding starts oh wow right okay so that’s not in seeding complicated that was horrible that bit didn’t like that at all so stage five this is actually the seeding bit that we’re being timed on so this is the bit we need to get right and we are seeding on this in an hour and a half hour and 40 minutes go on then roders give it beans see you guys [ __ ] h getting straight over that or not looks a bituing janky over that I think we had the line there this way yeah on the right there dude now that’s a hard jump to clear oh wow that’s it what a weird stage the seed on it’s said finish finishes there the going down here oh right so that’s end of seeding but racing cracks on down here so this will just be seat up spin that was all right actually just going the knowing the lines you only really that one line up don’t come past dude yeah watch out roders sorry mate go try and catch him again Todd and that’s that that’s all of it done flavor is Forest fruits just to tell you we’re not getting paid by these so I’m not bigging it up just cuz we’re getting money I actually really like these are the best flavors right second go of five Rodney’s on it try and get the right line on that one Rocky bit now see a bit boys apart from that one line that wasn’t really worth doing was it you got it right there this time let going to have fun on the bottom bit yeah bro yeah bro rac’s food again 1 hour till so you then you’re excited yeah think you can do all right right so we’ve wasted a lot of time now it’s seeding it’s been pissing down but literally as we come out of the bu building the uh Sun’s come out so hopefully the track’s not too wet I think this could be famous last words but I think them rocks would be quite grippy in the wet go Rodney two onek you the line dude thank you 15 seconds 10 seconds you can’t five four three two one have a good one nice oh whack the me then and it went back in place brilliant did what it’s meant to do come on what come on h all right yeah right my arm started getting numb my hand I stood up straight and it start getting better so I think I’ve sused it I don’t think the motor did anything down there except for get you off the line you know what pretty good run happy with that Todd did catch one of them Lads then back at the digs Kyle who is pretty [ __ ] cuz I mean we’ve done I think 43k and 1200 M of climbing he’s probably done pretty similar cuz he repeated a couple of stages and uh bought on a regular bik so he’s gone to dip his legs in the Glenn and um he beat Todd by a second on what’s it no on the seeding uh they send you an email between 6:00 and 8 tonight to know where you are in your seeding so I will report back on [Music] that uh we’ just had the email through I was eighth um seeded ebike um but you can’t see your times against other people’s which is a bit weird and and Todd I think was second seeded E Bike and what were you Kyle it’s just just seed men 27th seated men which is really good considering New Year um but I don’t know my categories so we’ll see it’s up to it’s all up for grabs tomorrow this is the end of this Vlog click links in description obviously massive thank you to Mark and his mes for sorting out this place and yeah the food and just everything it’s just been incredible and we got tomorrow here as well keep watching see you in the next one let’s see how we get on keep it pinned
