Old blokes who should know better.....

[Jimbo Vills]

its definitely not a 'last trail of the day' type of trail

In the rain

I didn’t know that at the time though did I.

"I was worried about coming, I thought it was all jumps, drops and really sendy stuff but I've had a great time, really enjoyed!"
that's a quote from a Bike Park Wales first timer.

That jump at 6.54 nearly had me off three times Fri sat. So I sorted it by taking the chicken route

yea its trickier than it should be, the drop isnt so bad but when im at full speed I find the rollers along that section really tricky to get right. I usually end up getting bounced about and nearly dying

Nearing the end of week 13 in the gym, huge noticeable difference in my (and Sam's) general condition, strength and fitness, all translates to the bike which is brilliant. It's been such a game changer I may make a video on it..

I don't believe that I have ever had muscles like that on my arms, well not since I was in my 20's!

Last time I was in a gym I was doing the cleaning

final stage of the Taff Buggy enduro

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

yep, learning to whip... making progress.
but this video is mostly for roasting Sam for being a show off

Walk of shame? You know they still work with a flat battery, right?

legs say no, hence the shame

Didn’t realize how steep it was until Sam (I think) staggered down the hill.
Well done

the gopro effect is unreal, we've all been to places we checked out on youtube only to find out they are way gnarlier when you're rubbing your nose in it

A470 is death...

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

"Moments" plus had another go at clearing Zut Alors which was harder in the dry than it was in the wet...

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

on board with @Kiwi in Wales, first trail of the evening

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

another one from our evening ride with @Kiwi in Wales
this is Boomshanka - translation :- "May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman"

The start reminded me of some gangsters on a mission.

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

the craziest, narrowest trail I've seen !
being chased down it.. surprise drop at the end.

 

[Plummet]

Well I definitely fall into the old blokes that should know better category as far as i am 51 and sending some big features.

But I cant claim starting later in life. I've been riding mtb for 29 years at a high level. So I do know what I'm doing.

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

Grumpy Mike got a new bike... I had a go, its pretty nice.

 

[Tonybro]

Might have to change his name now to "Not So Grumpy" Mike... There's almost a smile there...

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

I just spent 4 1/2 hours changing the frame bearings on my levo, they were long overdue with a couple being seized completely.
I may or may not have made a video on it.. it depends on how feckless I look when I review the footage

Maybe I don't feel so bad about paying the same price as buying a new car to change mine now on the Kenevo.

Can you edit and make a short (or longer ?) video of just the feckless moments ? We're human, we like to watch others suffer, it helps us accept our own incompétences ..
