Yea bloody annoying that 🤣

Cheers mate ! Definitely was, I was expecting it to be rock hard and frozen solid 😯

He really was very lucky ! Yea it's insane I honestly was expecting to find him in a pile on the floor but he was up and laughing 🤷 someone was looking out for him that day

It is!

Yea good call, I wouldn't want to use that again. It's served it's purpose and saved his life 👍

Yea mine have mips too 👍🏻

👍🏻

Yea I can imagine. I've had a massive knock before and only slightly damaged the helmet, wouldn't want to imagine the outcome if I wasn't wearing it! 😯

@@MTBMark47 it's scary the amount of folks I've seen recently without a helmet 🤦🤷

Yea it's bad can't believe he came off pretty much unscathed....oh I think I've seen the thumbnail of that video, will have to give it a watch 👍

@OfftheTopMTB it pretty amazing how well that helmet worked given the impact 👍

Yea absolutely!

Very sketchy in places 😂

Cheers Ant, Snailbeach was prime conditions but eastridge side not so much, quite slick in places. Really enjoyed it though, been ages since I was last there. 👍

Yea pretty much what I did, think I did 12 climbs up lordhill before I ventured over to the otherside. I made the mistake of not eating though so just before I did student champs I bonked big time. Had every intention of running my second battery down, wanted to do oil can and a few others but was battered 🤣🤣

Cheers Phill, bloody awesome place. Get back before the weather turns dude 👊

@OfftheTopMTB Sunday mate 👌🏻

👊

Cheers Ant 🍻 enjoy it, running great atm

🤣🤣🤣 cheers mate...learned from the best 😜

Great place to ride, really like it here 😄

💯 as always mate 👊

Yea I probably am a bit too hard on myself I was just mega annoyed at fluffing that jump as I'm pretty sure i've it harder stuff, I just let certain features get in my head 🤦 Get yourself back there before all the winter slop returns mate 👍🏻

Fair play to the locals and trail builders who have put this place on the map 🤟

This place looks good, where is it exactly?

@@SFBFoD Wharncliffe woods, Sheffield 👍🏻

⁠​⁠@@OfftheTopMTBwharncliffe locals don’t want it either. Thanks.

@Ricky_graham ok no problem, Wrekin are the best unofficial MTB trails then 😄

Shame we couldn't ride it all 😔

@OfftheTopMTB it was ace before it was harvested!

@@MTB_Trekker hopefully give it a bash next time I go 😁

Awesome isn't it 😍

Cheers Ant 👍 can't wait to return especially now flat white is open, really wanted to ride that when we went 😔

@ Me too mate! need to get back up there ASAP

@chunkyantmtb yep hopefully next year at some point the rides group is doing a Weekender I believe 😀

@ oooh! interesting!

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😄 yea repeat offender was such a long trail was definitely tired at the bottom plus that was my final trail at the Golfie on this trip. With regards to gloves I find it the opposite, I only ever get hand pump and finger fatigue when wearing gloves 🤷 thin soft compound grips and no gloves for the win ! 🤟

Well, well...That's one to shut me up! Lol! Sorry, it wasn't with bad intentions! I'll explain the glove part: Ever since I discovered ESI silicone foam grips, decades ago, I only ever use extra chunky esi grips. And I never needed gloves, as I hate them all, because I only ever rode XC light bikes, and never felt the need for them. As I discovered Enduro I built 2 full Enduro bikes. A Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Mullet (160/150mm, 13,47 kgs) and a Propain Tyee Cf (180/160mm, 13,97 kgs). Any one of those 2 bikes gets me to sweat from my hands within mins and the esi grips turn from extremely confortable to soap bars wich in turn make everything extremely dangerous. And so I gave up and use very thin and light padded gloves that, turns out, help me a lot. Still hate them though! That will never change. And for the two 10,5kgs XC bikes I never wear gloves. Unless I'm training with a friend of mine who is a professional and therefore, a beast...Cheers my friend. Good ridings!

@@luismartins9521 you don't need to apologize I understand you were only making a suggestion. I discovered the benefits of gloveless riding by mistake after I forgot my gloves one ride. I used to always get hand and arm pump and sweat no end, now the complete opposite. I'll only ever wear gloves now when it's cold or wet....peace ✌️

And you can never fight full, hard facts! I wished that was the case for me but it's the absolute opposite...So gloves it is...Cheers from Portugal! Ride well, ride safe! And keep those videos coming!

Cheers dude 👍

Cheers mate, hope so 😃

We did but very sheepishly, footage wasn't brilliant either so didn't include it.

Yea I've seen come up on Strava before saying that. No dab challenge is just a name a few of us give it as we found it hard not too put a foot down 🤣

This is my Strava route for this ride....strava.app.link/a3W3SQQ5iOb

Cannock Chase 👍

Cheers mate, yea you should it's changed a bit since my last visit 😆

Yea there's some massive ruts appeared since my last visit... I haven't tried that trail for a while. Need to go and see the damage up there 🤪

Oh nice, lovely trail that. Didn't notice one next to it, will have to look harder next time 👍

You'll love it mate, great section of trail that 😁

Cool

Yea unfortunately I think your probably right about the grim weather that's coming our way this winter...Was a brilliant ride this, first time over this way for me too.

Giant Reign E+1 🤟

Cheers Dude. Was a really good ride this, shame about the weather. I've wanted to do some of these trails for years! Glad I finally got the chance 😀

Nice one mate 👍

Some proper chunky rocks, was brutal. He just had a rear light on due to the weather, think your right and it was just the camera making it flicker

Not as steep I wouldn't say, but some of the turns are really tight, probably tighter than what's at the Wrekin.

It really is !

This is the Wrekin buddy 🤟

As in Telford way?

@@LukeHoward-93 yea not far from there

@@OfftheTopMTB sweet, I’m a wharny local.. been following the channel for a while and this place looks right up my street! Keep up the sick riding & content. Smashing it 🤟🏻

@@LukeHoward-93 cheers dude, will do 👍 Awesome to have Wharny as your local, love that place! Yea if you like Wharny and steep tech then Wrekin will be spot on for you....not as many rocks though as Wharncliffe 🤟

It was the strangest feeling 🥺 so weird riding and not being able to rest your finger on the brake lever 🤣

@OfftheTopMTB sort of looking forward to going there again at some point when I can ride

@@MTB_Trekker yea I'm hoping to go back again soon, hopefully can meet you there when your cleared to ride 🤟

Cheers mate 🤟

Cheers mate, yea was good to catch up and ride again! No problem about the language, mine was just as bad lol. Mint day 🤟

Yea watching the footage back it wasn't the best idea to try and finish the trail with only the rear brake. It was insane near the bottom, had a no control at all 🤣

It is epic, great trails !

It's at Wharncliffe

@paulwain8640 how do you know you live close to it if you've never heard of it 🤷?

@OfftheTopMTB I know of cromford, I live in the hope valley. I've rode at ambergate whats over thay way before. Just didn't know of a place at cromford
