imagine a place where the journey from nervous to expert is not just a dream but a reality where the transition happens mically within days rather than years join me today as we venture through Tour Bike Park Portugal’s Premier destination for improving your mountain biking skills [Music] [Music] oh motocross bike let’s go hey hey how you all doing I mean today I got an invitation to head on to a bike park in to it’s called t bike park they used to be a motocross track for Learners and beginners to go there and learn some skills but now they kind of converted def field into the mountain biking world not just mountain biking but also for Motocross and mountain biking so now instead of having just a track for Motocross Bikes you also have a couple of trails couple of other smaller jumps for Learners to go there on a weekend with an instructor like we’re going to do today and learn a couple skills I mean I don’t really know what expecting me but um well I think it’s going to be fun I got invited by the owner we’re going to test it out it’s a sunny weekend amazing out there in Lisbon so let’s head on to the adventure [Music] as I arrived at the site I was immediately taken back by what initially seemed like an empty Hill as I ventured closer I discovered a vast field briming with features jumps trails and Technical climbs everything that makes mountain biking exhilarated let me introduce you to Paul the owner of this extraordinary space a five time inur a motocross national champion bringing over 30 years of experience into the sport that recently made the Bold decision to transform his property into a Haven for mountain bikers seeking to enhance their [Music] skills our instructor for the day is my friend ped kandit a gym Enthusiast and an exceptionally skilled Rider since ped’s expertise focus on ebikes and all the students today are also on ebikes I decided to set aside my analog bike and join them on a beak m850 a full power E Bike Morel I’ve yet to encounter before delving into the Thrills of rioting Pedro kicks off the session with some invaluable tips on bike mechanics the insides promise to say save us a few bucks but before during and after our rides okay so let me try and summon up in about 20 seconds everything we learned out on this course about 5 PES okay this is a bike derailer it adjusts the gears 12 gears one clutch two screws one for the high gears one for the low gears and attention aduster at your handlebars shock and Fork they just absorb impact it’s two Chambers one with air one rebound chamber with air rebound everything on the same you got rebound at the back compression at the top and air one and two maybe you have a qu maybe have an air it just bounces up and down this is the bike break it stops you from going well nuts you have a caliper on the wheels you have a lever on the handlebars you should B them off and change the pads and it’s a whole process this is called a tire it’s got NOS because it’s meant to go on the dirt otherwise if it was a slick Tire like racing cars it wouldn’t grip on the dirt so yeah yeah slick knobs you should have them cuz you want a grip on the dirt these these these these frame bolts you should tight them once in a couple weeks so your bike doesn’t fall apart don’t overti them unless you’re going to just explode with your bike this is a chain it makes you go forward so clean it Lube it take care of it we’re over the 20 seconds already and I couldn’t tell you half the things pety told us on debriefing so we just spent a good couple of hours if you want to get some more details on it maybe you should take a course at t bike park so let’s go with the theory fresh in our minds it’s time to ride it’s been a while since I’ve ridden an electric bike so initially it felt more like I was riding a motorcycle than on an actual bike not used to this bike especially being an ebike but I have to say it seems to be a bike on steroids cuz I’m used to riding the analog bikes and now I pick up this thing with a motor so on Boost so uh well it’s like a motoross bike but anyways oh motocross bike let’s go check it out wooden pitures and everything on the on this track well I think this is a motocross track but they converted it to bikes I believe still seems to be more cross track once warmed up we began with some fun mental Maneuvers starting with a basic features such as linking turns together mastering turns without a foot tackling small drops and rolling over a couple of large obstacles [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] in the blink of an eye the morning has passed us by it’s time to refill with lunch and indulge in some Lively bike shenanigans [Music] in the afternoon we sat our sight on tackling more advanced jumps however just when I thought it would be another leisurely Sunday afternoon ride I realized I had dressed a tattoo light for the occasion well guess what I I crashed yeah not too bad I was just climbing and a guy was stuck at the climb and I kind of went to do a Motocross style you know getting up a turn I wasn’t stupidly weing ing the knee pads I know I know I know it’s my bad I know I wanted to come fresh I wasn’t using knee pads but uh well it’s going to get fixed got a couple of bandages got to put the knee pads and uh we’re going to be back on riding here now properly badged up and equipped with this knee protection we ventured into my favorite aspect of ebikes tackling technical in steep climbs in turbo mode well the teacher said we can’t really climb on Boost but that’s boost mode and the [Music] let’s go let’s go let’s go let’s go second try second try getting the Griff front I could do it’s bloody vertical let’s go yes done it’s done you might not really see on the video but it’s uh it’s very bloody steep check it out it’s so bloody steep look at how steep look at how steep though just realized GoPro was on wi they’re not super viiew but anyways I hope the back angle just got to it but that’s the same now do a couple of the trails e in the mountains though let’s go really not used to the Eva I mean it’s heavy but you can do so much more than a conventional bike that it’s just like insanely good let’s take it slow though getting the grip let’s go well check out this freshly built J I mean Isn’t it nice you come come from a straight line small jump little bump and uh it’s not to the moon but it’s cool it’s very very good yeah let’s try and hit it here we out the next day Marcel and I had it out to the trails of bandita excited to put my new found skills to the test [Music] [Music] ah [Applause] at the end the journey at t bike park exemplifies the endless proc suit of improvement in the world of mountain biking as Paulo’s Vision unfolds and the park evolves it’s clear that what may seem like a modest project today has the potential to become a premier Learning Center this exemplifies that no matter one’s level of experience there’s always room to become better at riding your bike feel free
