We have made it down to Cornwall and for the first part of this video we are riding Poldice which is an insane freeride MTB spot with loads of different trails. I even managed to ride an insane gap jump! We then moved on to The Track which is a dirt jump paradise there are so many lines to ride here too and I brought the one handers back and done some trains through the dirt jumps.
I hope you enjoy the video!

If you've got time in Cornwall don't forget Old hill or Woody's bike park's
Looks a great spot… But like twisted oaks, absolutely miles from me. Need something with lots of progressive line near Bath. Windhill has empuru, but the next jump line up is then to big, huge difference from cleaning Empuru jumps to the pro line. Lacks progression of twisted oaks and that place. 😕
Been watching you for a while and your progression lately has been amazing! Keep hitting those big jumps girl! Super inspirational 🎉
Good to see you getting excited Kara it shows how much fun you were having. Keep it going 👍
The jump you was doing at dice is called ball bag and the bigger one tom was doing next to it is dirtbag
You sent that first jump sooooo well, congrats on your progress! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice lil whip on that table 😎 Almost looks like slowing down your rear rebound one click could help with jumps when the rear is popping.
I've always been intrigued as to why you guys ride ebikes and not normal bikes?
Loved seeing both you and Tom jump at the same time – brilliant!
You are doing great Kara, great support from Tom
You’ve made amazing progress Kara! I enjoy and am inspired by your videos😊
I like the filming of you and Tom jumping together. Keep it up!!!
Ok that side by side Kara that you did with Tom was honestly the most epic jump I think I have seen you do and you both looked perfect in the air together. Look at you go getting a little whippage going on the last line and you only took a couple of goes to go full extension on your one hander. Legend! 😎👍That drop off Chris and Tom did was definitely pretty awesome. Tom just crushes those back flip, tail whip no foot can combos.
You are a constant passenger on any bike, how Tom is not telling you that baffles me. As you go bigger this will end in dramas
I think what is deceiving is that people think smaller jumps are easier when in fact they require more timing and skill to do it just right. This is because the transitions are much smaller and don't give a rider time to settle into the transition. Lee McCormick explains this quite well in a video.
The best jumps to learn on are medium sized table tops. This way you can learn the transitions which gives you more time to preload and pop and not have to worry about cleaning the jump.
People visually think small jumps are safer when in fact they require more skill and knowledge on jumping techniques and can cause a newer rider to get bucked.
You can clearly see that the second table line Kara jumped was much better for her and the first set of small jumps were not.
What the bike called and how much is it
its me me the mayonaise kid
Awesome video Kara. You English are crazy with massive gap jumps to massive drops far out I’m glad you don’t do these silly things. That jump looked cool when your partner was right beside you that really looked sick. 😊
My advice would be to put a full face helmet on when jumping at poldice. You are going to ruin someone else’s day and cause damage that is avoidable.
I hope you take this advice onboard.
