What’s up YouTube Welcome Back to the channel today shock horror I back at Bike Park Wales again but today I am on the uplift and I’m riding the downhill bike so this is possibly the last uplift day of the year on that bike the weather is shockingly but it’s still going to be

A good day take a look at the Freshies they’re not going to look like that by the end of the day I’ve only done one ride on them so far and they’ve been absolutely sick Sarah tell me more about it’s actually oh is very moist keep pedling I’ve got one [Applause] gear

Oh maybe I should have worn [Applause] goggles [Applause] woo oh [Applause] James I have one gear you’re going to have to speed up [Applause] oh you just kicked a rock at me I am hoping that this lens stays pretty clear I’m going to get to editing it and

There’s just going to be raindrops everywhere oh no [Applause] yeah I got it oh that was nice that’s going on the Vlog everybody meet dunk you can give him a reach around for three uplifts if you want right he’s going well I can’t get going very well

From here this is going to be an awful pull oh no I made it kind of oh I can’t make that one oops [Applause] oh oh no case the out of [Applause] that I hope the lighting’s not too bad today guys got a feeling it might be [Applause]

Though I heard a lot of quacking oh I’m not going to be able to catch him oh no sorry oh water bottle in the track [Applause] wobbler oh a child dunks just groomed this Willie over here so we’re going to have a rip down that then go on dunk show us your

Willie oh get your Willie out you must so IR responsible you’re going to kill me don’t follow your line looted oh I just scraped my pedal that was Danger and the freshy new bit which is [Applause] sick all these are a bit tighter so fun oh

No right James is going to drop me here cuz he’s way better at flat Corners than me [Applause] oh oh my hands are aing [Applause] [Applause] now [Applause] oh no oh no no red Willie doing the stretches very important before runs a James is gone I’m hoping that the lighting is a

Little bit better than last time I tried to come down here I’m still really at riding Tech and this isn’t even that techy that I might I might just cut to the bit that I want to try okay so I have it in my head that I

Really want to try this feature it’s not overly big but this is kind of my process I’m going to go down take a little look at it and watch James do it and then at least then if I can have a look at it and kind of visualize it then

It feels way more natural to just kind of do it but here it is it’s not going to look very big but it’s like a nice little step down so just cruises oh and he has to do literally nothing okay I feel fine about doing

That I think and just going to carry a bit more speed than I think I need and like it’s all kind of groomed on the way out as well like there’s no big hole or anything to worry about so it should be pretty chill so let’s go give it a go

Okay being nervous is fine he said three good [Applause] cranks and absolutely fine don’t know if I tagged it a bit but it felt okay Lally the right hand side is the easiest side do you want to follow I’ll follow you okay yes sick told be dropped nice one I need

To follow his lines I’m behind You uh right right yeah oh I can’t remember where you went oh yeah this way that way right oh I don’t like this fing Rock oh it’s such a stupid rock fine oh it’s actually it’s actually grippy and I’m just being a melt sorry no this is the this is the bit

Everybody gets up on yeah I mean I’m fine on the drop after it it’s just the oh you can go oh you can really go that slow okay right I’m going to I’m going to do it if I can get going yes oh it is actually that easy

Okay and it’s only took me sixing months that really helped seeing you go like slow over it he’s got quite a lot of grip on it it’s just we have we have changed it have you I I went and rubbed my tire along it after I saw you and was like

Hm actually you smash the drop at the start a pretty Tech black yeah yeah do first what am I doing I don’t know what I’m doing like overtake me all all this rant is making the Vlog obviously no Prime content but I’ll blur out your

Go on to the next feature that I’m very frightened of and this is going to sound really stupid but this I’m just scared that my front wheel is going to like die there I think it’ll be all right I’m just going to follow James off it

Blindly yeah and it was easy you been told for like a month yeah this is also as easy as you’ve been told for like a month at least a month yeah okay right let’s go then all right coach says it’ll be fine so if I die it’s him okay Coach didn’t lie it’s

Anymore yay sick it you have to pull for there’s nothing that you have to get all right so I can pretty much just cruise down it’s the next bit when it gets bigger isn’t it yeah okay it’s only the slippy Woody bits that I’m a bit put off [Applause] by oh

Okay I’m not familiar with this track everyone so have to bear with me that was okay you know the rocky bit right at the start yeah I like the way you didn’t freak out oh yeah I forgot about that oh it’s very flat I hope it goes down Soon got no idea what is down here but it’s a red so I’m guessing it’s like chill [Applause] what [Applause] what’s up Vlog viewers we’re going to switch over to James Camp a look how fast she’s heading for that Willie he going to need that bleep [Applause] [Applause]
