Do you know of any MTB slang terms you'd like us to feature in the next video? 🤔💭 Let us know 👇
I have always seen that you are NOT supposed to wear underwear with chamios, however you are supposed to use cream when wearing this way. I have found that if I wear boxer briefs with chamois I do not have any issues with chaffing and I do not need to use any creams.. Been riding this way for 20+ years without issues. I know technically this is wrong but thought I would share.
fresh dirt/ topsoil… loam
I remember the first time I was told not to wear underwear with biking shorts…..🧐😮😧
Interesting and funny episode ! I swear Martyn’s face turned a few shades of red during the chamois discussion!! 😂
Cream in me shorts…must of been a pretty good ride😂
So should we be discussing "cream in out shorts" in the car park?
I always thought a cutty was called a shralp for the sound it makes
The one thing I can never say to my non cyclist friends: my butt hurts.
Talking about loam. You suggest like there are no rules in the UK forests and encourage everyone to go to a loamy hill and just start making your own trails. Here in the Netherlands or Germany this is strictly forbidden. Is this indeed legal in the UK?
cutty; aka 'roostering' i think
First question : ask french People ! I could have answered years ago 😂
Doing a 'sand -cissy'. Thats me, I am terrible over deep sand, slow up and major wobbles are order of the day!
is that a big bottle of jd on the shelve in the back left
'Trick-arse' or 'gnarl-arse' are terms that i use t describe particularly trixy bits that ive just passed thru…
Loam= Brown Pow(der)
Congratulations Jen and nice to see you back on the channel with Blake.
Ok so what are Janky shorts 😂
I ride with my underwear even on my touring bike – and that's with a chamois – never had a problem, sometimes use a bit of Sudocrem.
Sleep
Poor soils
Isaac seems to be getting more comfortable on camera. Good for him 👍
