Chilled Summer Ride - Beginner MTB at Chicksands Bike Park, UK
A chilled one from one of our summer rides at Chicksands last year.
I'm still saying I'm a beginner, as I'm not clearing jumps, I'm still rolling lots of stuff, and when I do get off the ground I generally plop down way before the actual landing. Always trying to improve of course, any tips leave them in the comments - "grow some cojones" is completely acceptable advice haha
I'm riding a stock Trek Rail 5, tyres changed to Magic Mary up front and Nobby Nic on the back.
Filmed on a chesty mount.

Getting some reps in - Beginner MTB at Chicksands Bike Park, UK
มุมมอง 14421 วันที่ผ่านมา
Getting some reps in on the trails at Chicksands Bike Park! I'm really enjoying the Rail. The e-mtb side of things means I can speed around and back up the hills fast and easy, saving all my energy for the downhill parts. It means I can concentrate and put more effort into the trails themselves. The full suspension means I have a lot more pop for jumps, and a lot softer landings which helps whe...

Just a bunch of beginners messing around at Chicksands Bike Park. Today we have Lyndon and Tom along for the ride. Lyndon doesn't have an mtb so we bring the backup bike "The Slammer" and share runs on it, expecting it to fall apart at any minute :D I'm still saying I'm a beginner, as I'm not clearing jumps, I'm still rolling lots of stuff, and when I do get off the ground I generally plop down...

Two of Tom's mates who love XC join us at Chicksands today for some downhill trail action. They pick it up so fast and get stuck in, until one of them has a hefty slam into a tree! Ouch! :| This was the day of the first round of the British 4x Series, good fun to watch and have the atmosphere while riding. GMBN's Blake Samson was here today too - th-cam.com/video/Dx8OQiGBarE/w-d-xo.html I'm sti...

A good amount of runs today. Still energised from being on the Trek Rail! It surprised me how much I learnt from riding the Rail. Bringing that into this ride there's a noticeable progression in my riding - whether it shows in the video or not, I feel much more confident. I still think I'm in the beginner category as I'm not jumping gaps. Pretty much everything I do is rollable so I consider it...

First time at Woburn Bike Park and we obviously don't know where anything was! Spent the first hour trying to find someone with a pump for Kev's front forks. Luckily there's always a few helpful people around for that and to point us in the direction of Transfer Line as a place to start. We do some runs on Transfer Line, I make it over my first gap jump (!), do a run down Squigly Line and then ...

    Don't see much beginner stuff but we all have to start somewhere. I think you are a bit ahead of me. Whats the travel on your front forks? Did you find the hardtail scout managed those drops ok? Fwiw, I just hired a full sus scott ransom 920 enduro. It was so much more forgiving downhill than my xc hardtail 😮. Chicksands is near me so I will give it a try. Nice video.

      Hey @haba_15! Thanks for the comment, my first commenter! \o/ Sorry for taking so long to reply. I've been on hols and injured for a while (not from MTB). Starting to get back into it though. I still class the vids as beginner as almost everything I do is rollable, you could do it at a much slower pace and not do any jumps. I'm getting some air in the later videos but it's not necessary to clear anything, more to get a feel for what it's going to be like when I do try to clear gaps. Maybe I'll start labelling them as Intermediate when I get back into it. On a scale of 0 to the pros you can watch on TH-cam, I'm still way down near a level 1! haha Travel on the forks is the standard 140mm for NP Scout Race Medium (Fork: RockShox Recon Silver RL, 140mm, 42mm Offset, Solo Air, Gloss Black). Thanks for the pointer about full sus! I bet it's a big step up. I've never been on a full sus so I don't know any different, but the Scout hasn't missed a beat so far. The drops rattle my bones a bit but no lasting effects 😄If I keep progressing I'll try a full sus and see if it's worth upgrading. I'd highly recommend Chicksands, good atmosphere, lots of space, lots of rollable runs to explore, every run is well signposted with colour difficulty grade, lots of parking. Food van at the weekends too 👍 Cheers for the comment
