Yeah dude🤜🤛. Hope you had better luck with the weather? And those bulls🤣. I’m planning to return for another go at the summit with my drone in better weather 😉.

Cheers Ant👍. It’s such a lush place and so good that you can share your experiences with your lad, it’s exactly how my Dad introduced me to the mountains and I’ve been in love with them ever since. Thanks for watching dude🤜🤛🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✊

As it’s not a bike park, they don't really close unless they are conducting forestry work. My visit was a couple of months ago now so it’s worth connecting with a local Afan group possibly on facebook for up to date info. Cheers for watching 🤜🤛

It’s such a quality trail and quite addictive 👌. Cheers for watching 🤜🤛

@@UPHILLPHILL about 15 mins away is wylie ...my local place to ride ...great trails there

Another venue on my list 👌

Same here man, I live in Bettws but can find a trail to take me anywhere I need to 👊🏾

Cheers dude🙏🏻. I’m absolutely addicted to Wales, the trails, scenery, people and everything about the place, always has me wanting more! I’m 4-5hours away and head there whenever I can. Can’t wait to return for more quality rides. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. 🤜🤛🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✊

🤣🤣🤣. I know, highly unusual but blooming’ lovely! Cheers for your comment and for watching 🤜🤛

No way! We should meet up for a Friston ride and we’ll then be “full-Philled” 🤣. Cheers for watching dude🤜🤛

@@UPHILLPHILL haha sounds good! I’m about to turn my Wreckoning into a mullet.

Thank you so much for your awesome and supportive comments. I truly love this incredible sport and the people that I have the opportunity to meet and interact with. Being able to share my experiences is all part of what makes me tick and of course I’m still learning every minute that I’m on my bike and in front of the editing screen. Cheers buddy and see you soon hopefully 🤜🤛✊

Cheers Brett, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my video👍. Have a fantastic ride, hope you enjoy it as much as I do✊

Hey Steve👋. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video👍. I'm also a solo camper and I watched x5 F15 Eagles and x3 F35's doing multiple circuits of the Mach loop from the vantage point of Dyfi Mountain bike park in Pantperthog. Such an epic location for so many activities! Hope you have a fantastic time at the ⛺️site and the Mach loop 🛩.

@@UPHILLPHILL Thanks!! What was your pitch number? I am on 39 unless I choose to change it when there's, so says Carolyn!!!!

I was on pitch 36👌

You’re gonna have such a great day 👌. Enjoy, learn lots and thanks for watching 🤜🤛

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll have to try them out 👍. Cheers for watching 🤜🤛

I would also add that this bike climbs like a non suspension bike. And, the rear suspension has an unlimited feel. It is amazing.

Yep, you’ve summed this rig up spot on! It’s a very capable beast indeed 👌

Agreed 👍. I remember saying to my buddy that it climbed like my hardtail!

Oh yeah 🙌

Stay strong✊, I feel your pain but it’s all going to be Soooo worth it 👌. Thanks for watching 🤜🤛.

Thanks for watching 👍. As for the T-Rex, the official advice is to stay completely silent and motionless as they apparently have terrible eyesight and hearing! 🤜🤛

It’s a great little gadget for the bonus/additional B roll kinda footage that allows the viewer to see a different view/aspect of the area. It’s not as fast as I’d like so I will be looking at a faster drone soon. Cheers for watching 🤜🤛

Can’t wait for it buddy, you’ll love the climbing too🤣.

Thanks for watching and for your great feedback✊. It’s one super nice, old school Welsh trail for sure 👌

Dude, what a start to my morning, you’ve made my day with your comments, thank you 🙏🏻. My next visit will definitely be all about the steeper trails on the other side for sure. You’re very lucky indeed to call these trails local, enjoy your playground 🤜🤛

It was my first time riding there! They may not be the steepest of the steeps but steep nevertheless! Thanks for watching though 🤜🤛

Cheers Dan, you certainly are very lucky to live so close! Wow what a venue👌. Gulley is fantastic for sure as is GnT. It was my first trail and loved the little surprise of the jumps😜. Best of luck with your recovery 🤜🤛

@@UPHILLPHILL yeah GnT is class! The builders up there have put a very special place together. I don’t know if you’ve ever ventured over to ‘Farside’ at all but they get a lot steeper… 😅 I have a few edits on my channel. They’re not for the faint hearted… lol.

Cheers dude, we didn’t have enough time for Far side on this trip but definitely will do next time, I’ll take a look 🤜🤛. I’m Sub’d ✊

Glad you like the trails...tcr is the unknown trail name..honestly you only done about 40% of the trail..Trailforks don't show most off them..look on strava

@jasondavies2593 cheers dude👍. Can’t wait to return for the rest of the 60% that Iran out of time for! 🤜🤛

Cheers buddy, it’s a proper little gem is this one👌.

Wow! What awesome feedback, thank you so much ☺️. This is exactly why I love doing my little videos (other than the actual shredding of course 🤣!). Afan is such an amazing place and I’m so pleased I’ve found this absolute gem 💎 👌. Enjoy your day 🤜🤛

Gracias 🤜🤛

@@UPHILLPHILL 💪🏼👊

Cheers Z 🤜🤛. See you there in the near future hopefully 👌

Hi Mark. Great to hear that you’re on the waiting list for your Athy✊. Sorry to hear that you haven’t had any updates 😔. I had x5 updates of various stages of the build and from order date to completion, my bike took 4 months. As these bikes are hand built custom pieces of artwork, each machine will have its own lead time due to the factory work load, material availability, component availability and various other factors + Atherton bikes are a very small company with a very small team, however, I’d get in touch with them asap, call and ask for Alex, as she is so knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. Good luck Mark and I really hope your rig is complete and in your possession soon 🤜🤛

It’s definitely not a tent for those looking to go for lightweight camping!

Hi 👋. Thanks so much for your message/feedback and for watching ✊. You’re so gonna LOVE Dyfi, it’s absolutely my favourite location/area. The bike park is exceptional as are the numerous amazing local riding spots close by. I know exactly how you must feel as I had the same nervousness on my first ride there, but rest assured that it’s the best bike park by far and all others will pale in comparison after Friday! I’d recommend starting with Lovey Dyfi as a warm up to get a good gauge and feel for the place first and move on from there. This trail has so much progression potential and it’s the one that’s progressed me the most with speed, cornering, jumps and confidence. I genuinely wish you well and hope you have as much fun as I do every time. Stay safe and shred well 🤜🤛.

@@UPHILLPHILL thank you for your reply and tips! Much appreciated! I’ll start with Lovey Dyfi as you suggest. It feels like I’ll finally be riding my Atherton where it’s meant to be! My lad is very excited! Hopefully it’ll all be good and not too wet! 🤣. I’ll post a video on my channel when I get back 🤘👍

@888-mtb if it’s wet, it’s definitely better, the grip is phenomenal 👌. If you’re in the area for a few day’s, check out the Dyfi forest area, there’s ClimachX which is a great enduro loop and lots of off-piste black runs and also Whiterock the other side of the golf course, more exceptional off-piste black runs. The best track by far at the bike park is Racetrack, it’s a fast brutal trail but so rewarding. Enjoy and I look forward to seeing your videos ✊.

It really is!

I don’t know its name sadly but it’s over towards the area near Summer lightening that we can’t speak about 🤐.

It all comes down to what works best for the people using it really. For me it’s great and works well but needs more space for cooking, so I’ll be purchasing the add on front tarp attachment.

Im camping solo (with car). I have the 2p tent but now considering the 3p tent: I like a spacious bed and would want to be able to keep my stuff in the tent.

I definitely find that my 3p has plenty of room for me, my inflatable bed base, table, coffee machine and all my bike gear (minus the bike!) and has room to easily get changed all in a compact and rapid pitch n pack package. It also fits perfectly in the rear footwell of the car too for easy access👌.

Honestly not sure? I’d recommend contacting the manufacturer for guidance tbh. I’ve had no issues and I only uploaded my video to share my experience as a mountain biker who loves a bit of comfort camping and this tent works perfectly for me. I hope you have better success with your air tent. Best wishes 🤜🤛

I’m using a GoPro Hero 9 👌

Thanks for watching Robert and for appreciating my rear view angle. GoPro’s definitely have a habit of flattening out the terrain so it’s nice that this view kinda sorts it 👌.

Hey Charlie, sounds like you’ll be going back again soon then👌. It really is an amazingly good place, thanks for watching 🤜🤛

@@UPHILLPHILL next trip planned already mate 🤣

@CharlieHorrocks-iv8cg enjoy dude😛🤘

Thanks so much for your comment, love the cookie bit 🤣. Looking at the website, it looks like it has been withdrawn, unless it’s been updated/replaced which happened with my larger Quechua inflatable family tent when they changed the colour. Keep an eye open or possibly contact them for more information. Cheers for watching and may your days be filled with successful cookie dunking 🍵🍪⛺️

Thank you so much for watching and your kind words, it means a lot 🤜🤛

Hey there, thanks for watching, although I think you may have commented on the wrong video? With regards to the Arctic tent review, nice thought but after investigating, its intended use is a little outside of my scope.

@@UPHILLPHILLAh yes I know this is a type of off-topic comment but after seeing your decathlon 2 second 3p tent review I thought you reviewed camping gear. But at the end of the day. It's night. Nah I'm just kidding. At the end of the day the tent does cost a shockingly high price of 3,500$ but after watching the Outdoor Boys use it it's decent with the rainfly and compatible wood stove. I highly recommend other tents though such as the Nemo Osmo Dragonfly tent available in 1P, 2P and 3P and is great for backpackers.

Sure did buddy, Daryl is a cracking trainer and delivers the skill’s in such an easy and relaxed manner that you instantly absorb the technique and understand it well enough to put it into practice. I’ve dialled in my fast berm’s and jumps much more now. 👌

@@UPHILLPHILL I did a jump course several years ago and it was brilliant. My tutor wasn’t a Daryl though

Baby maker is on the furthest side from the main building/car park. It’s near Red 10. Check out this map: www.swinleybikehub.com/trails

What an awesome experience we had buddy, DB is a bit of a legend tbh👌. Thanks for a great day and for watching my little video. See ya on the next ride hopefully (keep your eye on the event page😉)

Thanks so much, you’ll have a fantastic day, take plenty of water + add electrolytes and some trail snacks, there’s plenty of climbing and some epic DH’s to make it all worth it & the weather looks like it’ll be great for you. Enjoy and thanks for watching 🤜🤛

Thank you 🙏🏻 I really appreciate you watching 👍.
