They sure do, still loving the bike now 😁

You'll have to pop over mate, happy to show you around, Jonathan is keen as well tbh 👍🏻 Need to change them from mono, to stereo in the bin first, left as mono and only found out after I uploaded it 😭 I made sure before recording on them I clapped and said what we were doing, easy then to sync up with the GoPro footage as a consistent line to match up with on all three audios then 👍🏻

@@MTB_Derbyshire cheers mate, yeh the GoPro would have sounded loads better as well if I had the rear mic turned on. Loving the local trail, hopefully take you around it one day?

Cheers mate, yeh loving how they sound so far 😁

Cheers mate, yeh that final descent was a monster to edit, but thankfully learnt how to get quicker with it after that 🤣 Certainly made a few editing mistakes along the way! Was a great day again, and now have a great new loop for some fitness 😁 Finishing at the pub 🤣

Cheers mate, I think the conversations with it are great also 😊 Gives it another depth, after hearing yours it made me think about one. Love them so far 😁 Spain should be good with these, one on Tony 🤣

@@ElectricMountainBiker Funnily enough, I thought about attaching one to Tony as I watched this 😂

@@Stopadoodledoo could be comedy gold 🥇🤣

Sure was, and I wish, was just able to have a play on this one, great bike as well though 😊

🤣🤣 such a sketchy day, Jason and I were chatting about this ride whilst we were out yesterday, still one the most fun days we had on the HTs 😁 Crazy stuff in the woods though for sure 👀

Mate, the P7 is such a nice bike, nice one for getting it! Jason has one @stopadoodledoo really great bikes! Similar to the blue pig I would say after riding his. Hayes so far have been great for me 👍🏻

@@ElectricMountainBiker I definitely would have kicked myself if I passed on it. Can't wait to try out the Hayes.

@19brs73 fully agree, you really would have been gutted if you didn't get it, you'll love the brakes for sure 👍🏻 Just don't do what I did and put mineral oil in them 🙈🙈 Hayes though in fairness, and very quickly. Sent me out a brand new set for free! Epic customer service, had to send mine back, and then boom now brakes now back on.

If I did this trail again, I would be on a full suss for sure, probably my ebike as well 🙈 Brutal on the HT, it can handle it, but my body couldn't over that distance. Have to add, glad I did do it on the HT, crazy really but chuffed at the same time on reflection. HT also really helps me appreciate a full suss ebike when I do ride it. Enduro bike is ideal for this riding, I just haven't got one yet.

Love that! They really are great all round bikes aren't they 😊 Wish I was quick on mine though 🤣

Sure, it will be on my Strava account 👍🏻

When you have the choice even better 😁 I would like to get a full sus non ebike as well tbh now. HT helped me see I have the fitness for it now which is a great feeling 😊

Does it ever, the HT had taught me loads since riding it, and line choice 😊

Standard this year for us it seems and how wet it has been 😭 Since they went bust along with crc you need to turn to the second hand market which is great now, as going do cheap! Join the Ragley Facebook group as always see them for sale on there, that might be a way to find one? There were also unreleased 2024 frames knocking about on eBay at one point 👍🏻

I looked at a ti hardtail, specifically the Ribble one, but couldn't justify the price for the components it came with unfortunately. They look amazing though don't they! Haha I know the feeling well of walking something, like you say it is all about getting out on it 😁 Thanks for the great comment 👍🏻

Thanks mate 😁 I really am very lucky where I live 😁

Greetings to you as well my friend! Sounds like a you got yourself a great deal, a mate had the nukeproof scout and it's a great bike, had a go on it and loved it 😁 Thanks for the great comments and taking the time to write it 😁👍🏻

I'm the same as yourself, never had anything to reference it against as totally new to me. Gutted I never got into MTB earlier, but so happy I finally did, love my hardtail. Thanks for the great comment, and taking the time to write it 😁

Does she ever, and now she is in France cycling even bigger miles, and hills 👀 Zero chance when she comes back lol

@@ElectricMountainBiker 🤣🤣🤣

I'm really lucky where I live for sure with the views 😁 Climbs are not so great though 🙈😂

Gutted we have had so few nice evenings 😞

Cheers mate, yeh great area to have in the doorstep for sure and really helps come down after work 😊 As is the Crush mate 👍🏻

I hear that 😁😁

Oh there was a part where my language turned blue 🙈🤣 Yeh this really was a great day! You would enjoy these trails for sure, just a shame so far away 😥 Jason has a few more for us to try, maybe you're over you will be with us 😁

Cheers mate 😁

Cheers mate, really was a day for everything 🤣Lakes is always a tough one on the HT, Helvellyn was tough enough on my full sus, no chance I'll be doing that on the HT 👀🤣 Yeh, liking the extra angle of the insta as well, really does give a sense of the steepness on reverse cam 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks mate, you that really was one hell of a day, had a bit of everything, including my backside falling out 🤣 Never knew what I had right on my doorstep back then, wish I did but was usually in Ambleside chatting up the Charlotte mason students 🙈🤣

Haha tell me about it, those climbs were brutal, that first one was a monster 😭😭 Really was a great day, and wow I miss living there for sure 🤩 Thanks for the comment, have a great day/week 😎

@@ElectricMountainBiker Thanks buddy🙏, you too🙌✌️

You're not wrong mate, you need to head up north for some of these I reckon 👍🏻👍🏻

@ElectricMountainBiker is definitely on the cards bud, need a change from what I've been riding fancy bit of adventure stuff with some senary!!

Plenty to go at as well, Peak District, Wales, Lakes, we really are lucky 👍🏻

Cheers mate, great comment. Always has a special place in my heart Rydal and the surrounding area. Really was a tough day, but totally worth it now I can look back at it 🤣

Did I ever mate 🤣 I could hardly walk 🙈 Cheers for the great comment as well, it was a really good day!

Thanks mate!! What a day it was! Loved it, and despised it at certain points as well 🤣🤣 Love all the chats, and laughs we have, moods included! They are what really makes the day for us all, getting away from all the rubbish of life, switching off, and being kids again 😁😁 All three videos compliment each other well 👍🏻👍🏻

@@ElectricMountainBiker absolutely mate, love these rides 😄👍🏻

Agree about the insta360 giving a better perspective of steepness as well, really added to it I thought 👍🏻

Cheers mate, was strange really as didn't expect to get a video from it with how exhausted I was. Think some sunstroke came into play as was pretty ill the next day 🤮🤣 What a great day though, love all the nattering, general waffle and poking fun 🤣 between us all, and of course those descents! Made me laugh, and wince at the same time when I was watching the footage back 🙈 Cheers for being a great guide for us as well, glad I got the last descent in, even if I wanted to curl up and go to sleep on the climb up 🤣 Might have to agree, this is up there in my top three videos for sure!

@@ElectricMountainBiker you better believe it 😄👍🏻

😂​@@HallMarc_Trails

Fully get this, if I had to have only one bike it would certainly be the hardtail. Easy to maintain, loads of smiles, and let's be honest they look awesome as well 🤩

Nice, I wanted the mmmbop originally but couldn't get hold of one, then realised the pig is its steel twin so decided on that, as I could get one 😁 You're in for a world of fun on the mmmbop 🤩

I wanted a steel frame ideally tbh but I payed £125 for an almost new copper mmmbop that was within driving distance. Having looked at reviews the ally mmmbop seems to have a decent amount of forgiveness in it which is hopefully true.

That is a steel!!! £125, bet you couldn't believe your luck 🤞🏻

@@ElectricMountainBiker yeh been doing a cheapish build on it since.

Crazy isn't it, how a more simple bike makes every ride feel brilliant 😊 I was late to the HT party as well, this is my first one, and totally love it 😁

Would love to 😊

Cheers mate, yeh this is some place, make sure it is on your list for 2924 👍🏻👍🏻

Love Transitions, still miss my Patrol to this day, along with the Pig that Patrol was a great looking bike 👍🏻 I never really understood what people meant when they said they feel a connection to the trail better on a HT, totally do now 😊

Haha totally agree on no need for an ebike there 🤣 Fully get what you need with the full suspension bike bobbing on climbs as well, even just on flat trails. Really is a waste of kinetic energy, for zero gain. Thanks for the great comment, and hope you're having a good weekend 👍🏻

Cheers 😊 Was a great day for sure 👍🏻

Cannot wait to give it another go, lower race track will take me a little longer to work through 👀 Loved it 😊

For anyone reading this Leno is very correct 😊 Also the pinned comment hopefully will pick it up 👍🏻

Great comment mate 🤣 Noodle arms are a thing, I believe it is akin to a black hole effect where spaghettification is the official term for noodle arms 😉🤣 Mate you would love here as well, really hope to see you here, as know you will have your own Tour de Force 🏆

Gutted you couldn't make it mate, you would have loved it for sure. Potentially another ride I am sorting here on 26th July for my Birthday, will post up once confirmed 👍🏻

Was such a good day, gutted not there now. Yeh gutted about the shock, at least last run of the day, and now I get to upgrade 😁😁

You really do mate, such an epic place!!

Haha it so nearly did 🙈🤣 Lower Race Track really ramps up all of a sudden doesn't it, really did not have the confidence to attempt those features. But, having seen them now, it always helps me further down the line go for them 👍🏻 maybe 🤣
