Great video! I see your riding a Reign E. How did you find it at Dyfi? And were you pedaling up or using the uplift?
It was brilliant perfect amount of travel for the trails I did. You have to use the uplift at Dyfi as there is no specific e bike climb to the top. Cheers 👍
Yawn 😴 Could you imagine asking your bank manager to finance a pro only park
🤣 top points for figuring out how TH-cam works pal. Oh wait a minute....
Always looks like it wants to take you out, does Dyfi!
Yep 👍 there's something round every corner trying to put you on your ass 🤣
@@OfftheTopMTB 🤣🤣🤣
I like the idea of giving Dyfi a go! But then it always looks like it wants to kill you on vids!
@@chunkyantmtb 😁She's a savage mistress that's for sure mate !
Where is this?
The Wrekin
@@OfftheTopMTBwhat country
England
@@OfftheTopMTB k thx
Nice views'. Scary speed. Shame it can't be travelled at cruise, to view them.
You can go quite slow 😃
Like, comment and f off! 😂😂😂😂😂
I think it's pretty nice place for all above average riders.
It's definitely a big step up isn't it? I think if your an average trail centre rider you could get caught out 👀
I reckon the Wrekin is ok for the average rider! Me and Phil get down in one piece! Not exactly shredding it but we survive 😂😂😂
I think there is some trails fine for the average Joe but not many. Suppose it depends on how comfy you are on the steep stuff. You and Phil always do well there 🤟
@@OfftheTopMTB passenger mode is quite effective! 😂
😂😂
I also struggle with steep right turns. In my mind i feel that turning left turns into the hillside and feels safer but when i turn right it feels like i'm looking down the hill and it feels more risky.
That's quite an interesting point, makes sense. Maybe I'm feeling the same 🤔
I think it has to do with which foot you lead with. I struggle with steep lefts and I lead with my right foot. Just a thought 🤔
Yea that's what I was thinking, I'm left foot forward and struggle going right...think there's something in it.
@@OfftheTopMTB definitely true. Try leaning more forward on these. Made a difference for me.
Yea something definitely needs to change, she's a steep trail though but I should definitely be able to ride it better than I did
Lefts are definitely easier 😂
Yep 💯
I struggle with steep rights as well mate! God knows why tho! 💁
Mad ain't it, I've got a bit of a theory though...are you right foot forward ?
@@OfftheTopMTB yep
You ruined my theory there mate 😂. I was thinking it's a left foot forward finds left handers easier and right foot forward finds right handers easier 🤔
where you pushed is where i have come across many people lying in the bushes 😅
😂😂😂 I was very nearly one of them mate
you did the correct thing tho 🤟
@dodgymtbknee yea, need to get back and just practice it over and over 👍
ignore people moaning about vaguely dropping the location, loads of vids of the place it’s not exactly a secret
My thoughts exactly...cheers dude 👍
Nice vid, I’m sure the local trial fairy’s are buzzin you blartin the location all over. 🔔
Cool story bro, they have nowt to worry about, no one watches this vids anyway 🤣
Good vid mate !! Wish you didn’t disclose the location tho!
👍
Taking someone with you who is a crap rider is a good way to feel good about yourself and better about your riding.let me know if you need my help😂 Seriously seemed like you were riding as fast as usual👍
😂😂😂 cheers dude
Wicked video man, is there a trails map round dimmo? I’ve been a few times and I can’t find all these trails?
Not to my knowledge matey, there all pretty easy to find though. Climb up from the ramblers retreat, you'll come across about 6 trails. Then there's loads near Hawksmoor too.
@@OfftheTopMTB do you follow the river up away from the ramblers to get to the start of the trails? I think I need a guided tour round there 😂
@steveebbrell1843 you can do, I go to the right of the river, through a metal gate up the footpath and it just goes all the way to the top, the trails are a bit harder to see at the minute with all the greenery about
@@OfftheTopMTB ill check it out this week, I’m only in Cheadle so I need to make the most of having dimmingsdale on my door step 😂 I’ve done a couple of trails that drop down onto the old railway line heading towards oakamoor
Yea I think I know where you mean, the trails up from the ramblers retreat come out on the road opposite the old train line, think there's a cricket club close by too
Its taken me and Phil about 18 months of riding I reckon! Dont see it that dry oftern!
Think it's the dryest I've ever seen it to be fair mate ☀️
Wasn't the best start to WC3! 😂😂😂
World cup 1 I binned it on wasn't it ?
@@OfftheTopMTB looked like WC3 mate
@@MTB_Trekker according to my Strava the last trail I did in the video was WC 3 but I dunno the trail names there other than El Steepio 🤷
@@OfftheTopMTB wc3 on my strava 🤔
@@MTB_Trekker strange 😮
Hopefully it's fun when I have my guided tour next weekend 👍
A fair few of the steep trails have trees down, and it's very overgrown, can still have a laugh though 👍
El Steepio is a good one to try, I always balls it up though 😂
Ive not watched the video yet but i quite often lose my confidence some of the steeper stuff there 😂
Think it was a mixture of being tired, hot then stacking it in world cup section 😂
@@OfftheTopMTB just watching now, fair dismount that was 🤣
😂😂 cheers mate, think I clipped a pedal
considering you said you lacked confidence, i thought you rode very well 👏 those trails did not look easy at all! no harm in showing the trees some love too 😉
Cheers mate, I don't know what's wrong with me lately, seem to have lost my bottle a bit. To be honest after watching the footage back it didn't look as bad as it felt. Haha I'm glad that tree was there for me to hug, stopped me going for a big tumble 😂
its just a mind game i think. i was scared of heights up until the end of last year. wouldnt go near a steep trail or 2ft drop 😅
Yea think your right dude....fair play on getting over your fear, that's quick that mate 😁
How was the coil first time there?
Yea great mate, and impressively didn't notice any pedal bob when climbing 👍
@@OfftheTopMTB I think you're right about too many controls on shocks and suspension. The average rider doesn't need them
Yea definitely mate, think you really need to no what your doing or like faffing about for them to be worth it. Most of us just want to go ride !
@@OfftheTopMTB correct!
Loving the intro/outro 👍
Thanks for the feedback, wasn't sure if it would work or not 👍
i think the intros/outros are good to be honest, good to hear whats happening and what the videos is gonna be about followed by review of the ride at the end. shocks are easy to just mess about with all the time and never feel right 😅 iv just set mine now to advised weight and left them which has seemed to work. i will have to go through all this again tho when i switch over to a coil on the rear. my mates dropper is a bit buggered at the moment, its funny when behind and you can just see him jumping up and down on it to work 🤣 good to see most getting out in the good weather, iv been trapped indoors on my arse with bloody covid 🤢 cant wait to get out! great riding as always dude and look forward to the next one 🤟
Cheers for the feedback mate, appreciate it 👍 Yea I've always found them a bit of a ball ache to set up, happy that doesn't seem to be the case with coil. HaHa yea that's exactly what I was doing , riding along the trail bouncing on the saddle and shouting at the bike 😂....Shame to hear you've got covid, hopefully you'll recover soon and be back out sending it !!🤟🤟
yes its pretty tame but you just gotta run it faster, make it as hard as you want, go slow its easy even the blacks, do it at "race pace" its soooo good, and the fact you can get 20 odd runs in a day makes it outstanding value for money, and lets not forget the cafe boss scran on offer, still tame though but you make it what you want it to be
Where you get handlebar tape from?
? Don't use handlebar tape mate
@@OfftheTopMTB coloured tape on your bars or was I looking at another vid!?
@@jamesperkins1699 oh do you mean the blue bit of tape ? if so its just the uplift ticket from dyfi.
What spring did you get mate?
600 lol
@MTB_Trekker yea that's the one 😯
@@OfftheTopMTB I'd asked before I got to the part in the vid lol
Oh right 🤣🤣🤣
@@OfftheTopMTB bit of a lottery with springs, but when you get it right, it's supposed to be peachy?
Cool vid, have you got a Strava route for this?
No sorry didn't record this one 😔
Hi mate. Love this video, im off to the peaks this weekend, don't suppose you have a gpx for this route?
This is the link I got it from... www.mountainbikerides.co.uk/routes/128-the-peak-district/14-hope-triple-eight.html
What settings do you have on your GoPro especially the FPS?
Usually either 24 or 25 FPS protune settings I have ISO 100 min 3200 max
Was this over Tackeroo area?
No monkey side mate
@@OfftheTopMTB have you got Strava route?
This isn't the exact route but very similar..... strava.app.link/D6iHvpsztLb
@@OfftheTopMTB cheers mate, going again next week so will check it out
@jamesperkins1699 no worries 👍
That road gap line is full on now..the old fave is no more!
Yea it's a proper big boy line now ain't it 😭
Im the same at Stile Cop! Always ride it in the Winter then the odd summer ride I go I don’t recognise it! 👍
It's mad how much it changes isn't it ?
Great riding dude! I'm a very average biker and rode Dyfi for the first time last weekend and BPW. Definitely agree it's a huge step up (excuse the pun!) but felt more confident as the day went on... really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back
Thanks Bud! The rock there is so slippery too. Never rode anywhere quite like Dyfi 😵
Great YT clip mate, 🤟🏼🫡 really want to get up there and try these sections now
Go for it mate, there wicked
What bike are you riding pal? Good riding!
Cheers dude it's 2022 Giant Reign E+1
@@OfftheTopMTB I’m looking at using the cycle to work scheme to get an eMTB for trail riding but the best I can get with the money they offer is something like a cube stereo 140, is there any bikes you’d recommend that sit around 3k to comfortably do this kind of trail riding?
@@chrisdobbo8938 to be honest anything with 150mm travel or above will be fine for most places. The trails in this video, you could get away with even lower than that. Not sure what bike you can get for 3k to be honest, maybe a haibike or just a lower specced Giant/spesh/canyon
Great ride, places looks amazing! Want to take my two sons age 10 & 11 but think its a bit too much for them at moment! Need to get myself up there for a good ride 🤟🏼
It's really good there and a great vibe too but definitely a whole other level from other bike parks.
'Send it Sam!' 😂nice mate
🤣🤣
When you become a family man and have a lot of responsibility, you lose confidence, if i fall now i wont be able to work and its always on my mind😂
Yep that is always in my mind, I had 2 big injuries in the last 2 years and it definitely plays a part in not wanting to risk certain features.
@@OfftheTopMTB same i have fallen off a few times years ago with injuries, im 40 now but love riding and i cant stop 😁 just don't feel as good as when i was in my 20s 😆
Yep, same 😂
Let me know how the new forks are, i need to upgrade my specialized levo forks they are terrible, they came stock with the bike👍🏼
It's just the rear shock I'm getting, happy with the 38s at the minute , no where near as hard to set up as the shock.
I know the feeling mate been off myself a lately, was absolutely terrible last time out at Wharncliffe
Shite ain't it ☹️
Smashing it mate! 👍
Cheers mate 🍻
Dyfi slabs are like ice ,never ridden any rock as slippy as those ,may pop over Dyfi next year if you are up for a group sesh
Yea me either bloody terrifying 😮 yea sounds good, I'll definitely be heading back at some point, gotta face my fears I suppose 😂
I crashed on my first run down lovey dyfi got in to the forest and the left turn with the slab took me out. Kinda ruined my day as it knocked my confidence massively.
Yea that's horrible that section isn't it? Proper ruins your confidence too, hard to get it back after that 😔
Good call on the bomber. I went with that option and it's night and day vs the stock air shock I had on mine before the upgrade. Sometimes less adjustments is actually better and this thing only has rebound adjustment which I found perfectly good enough for the riding I'm doing.
Yea I often think the same regarding adjustments, I just wanna set and forget and the couple of fox air shocks I've had over the years have always been a ball ache to set up. I've got this bomber from J Tech too so there custom tuning it too me as well which should help it perform even better.
I also run a basic coil shock with slow speed compression and rebound damping. After running it for three months I decided to get another two for my other bikes. It's the kick I got from air shocks in certain situations which put me off. No such issues with coil. They're predictable and stable. I couldn't really jump before, now I'm sending them and doing drops without much concern. Continued medium to large hits in rapid succession do not destabilise the rear as before, where an air shock packed up and up until it kicked. That has now disappeared completely. I'm now considering the Rockshox Ultimate coil because it's got high and low speed compression damping, plus bottom out damping. You have a great, simple and reliable rear shock, so you'll soon appreciate what I mean.
That's good to know thanks for the feedback 👍 stability and predictability is exactly what I'm after. I'll give an update once I've used it for a while 😀
A whole 4 days! 😮

I feel exactly like the title of your video watching this with the only difference being that I've ridden yesterday 🤣
