Regular viewers would have seen us ride some of these trails not so long ago , but we knew there were more trails to find & also they was steep and technical, so we called a good friend and local legend Matt AKA " GOAT " and he kindly agreed to show us around . uppbeat.io/t/a..

WHY HAVEN'T WE BEEN HERE SOONER ?

First time riding these trails, and I can honestly say it is right up there with my favourite places to ride. The climb to the top isn't too long, and the trails are fast flowing with hidden surprises to keep you smiling and the adrenaline pumping all the way to the bottom . uppbeat.io/t/aaron-paul-low/l @Peatys @donskene @GoPro
DID I MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION ?
มุมมอง 8222 หลายเดือนก่อน
I've been trying different things to improve my confidence and riding, and the same thing kept on coming up , " Have you tried higher rise bars?" .... 🤔 so I did some research and decided to take the plunge and give them a go along with some fresh new grips , I purchased some Gusset 50mm rise bars and some great priced Peatys monarch thin grips . Would they make a difference? Let's see uppbeat....

This was our club ride out & we decided on the Hawaiian shirt theam for this ride and hoped the weather gods would be kind to us . Unfortunately, they had other plans, and it rained all day , but bike park wales rides good in all weather 👌 except the more technical reds and blacks , & it turned out to be an Epic day with Epic friends . uppbeat.io/t/aaron-paul-low/l

You do not ever need to apologise for going slow or for your footage, as being open, honest and engaging about the reality of MTB makes your channel so special. 🥹 Being honest about recovering from an injury is especially significant when we get a little older, and it’s not just the physical recovery, it's the mental recovery we face next that can take as long if not longer, to overcome.❤🩹 Never change, Brother. 🙌🏼 I love your content for its honesty, and I look forward to your footage each week, as much as I did when a child waiting for the weekend to watch Tiswas or Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. 😉 Sending you Healing Vibes, ❤🩹 and wishing you Happy Trails, my friend. 🤙🏼
Great vid Dar, I'm glad your shoulder held up and brave man trying Insufficient Funds especially the lower part, welll done mate
@TheBikeRoom Thank you, my friend
great video mint day out on the bikes with lots of banter 😂😂😂💯🤟🤟🎅🎅🎅🎅
Shoulders are a bloody pain (literally). Did my rotator cuff last year at slow speed and took bloody months to heal. Hope you’re feeling better Mate.
It’s always( well not always🤣) but most the time in the stupid spots we have a tumble, when your not totally switched on! Glad no real damage, hopefully back on the bike Sunday 🤘
@jaynolajones cheers 🍻 buddy , still sore as F 😭😭😭 hopefully in an another week or two
Ace video, looks proper steep !!
@OfftheTopMTB thank you. I really appreciate your feedback , it is mental steep
I’ll have to give it a go on my next ride out , looks really steep
@@karlevs we will have to wrap you in bubble wrap karlos 🤣
I Will remember to bring spare sets of brakes pads when I go there 😂
@@starkeymtb5544 🤣🤣🤣
Cracking vid again butty. Were do I find that climb back up at 06:16?? Top man
@themtbpeach if you go past the main turning on your left , cary on about 150 yards and it's on your left buddy , horrible climb but about 4 trails that all start as you go over the wall
@@AverageDad2022 cheers pal, when you say main turning on your left which one mate? Sorry!
@themtbpeach if you park in the big layby just outside the village , you need to cycle up the road about a Mile or so and you will see a road turning left going up into the woods , this leads to the main trails, if you carry on without going up that turning there is another turning that's like a walkers path you go up that right to the top and follow it to the woods , if you look on my strava you will see it 🤙
It's amazing how the small crashes can f you up more than big ones, for example over the bars at dirt farm was much bigger but no damage. I'm glad you're ok Dad. I do wonder how I will cope with such steep trails when I eventually try some.
@MTBEAST007 100% brother it's always the stupid small ones that do the damage 😭
My goodness, I do hope the ice and compression help and give you a speedy recovery, my friend. I'm sending you Healing Vibes ❤🩹 so that you can return to the bike as soon as possible. I know how much it means to us to ride with friends, have fun, and truly help our mental health. Get Well Soon, and Happy Trails, buddy. 🤙🏼
@JJsMTB thank you my friend 🤙
That’s giving me sweaty palms 😅too steep for me. You did amazing though and in pain 🤟
@TheBikeRoom cheers dude 👍 in the end the adrenaline wore off and pain kicked in 😢
Well done guys that was steep. Hope you get back on it soon Daz
@LeeCollins-u8l cheers buddy 👍
OMG its stupid steep there glad i missed the second trail looked super steep 😂😂💯🤟🤟🤟
@@kevdodd6241 your a sponsored rider know kevlar , you would smash it 😃
Look mint trails
Looks a lot of fun you bloody legend - assume this is Surrey Hills, got a trail list you can share? 😊
@seatography this is Dowies in forest of dean , but we are planning a trip to surry Hill for January 😃
"Woody Woodpecker" 🤣😂Where in S.Wales is Deri?
Good to see you pushing yourself, and even better is the look of your riding buddies when you have done something they thought you might have not !
Nice video, you got my sub.....44 y/o dad just waiting for his first emtb as I type this
Nice, I love a bit of Dowies.
My first thought was dowies. And it aint that gnarly!!! lol
Footage when stopped nice and clear but quite blurry when riding 🤷🏽♂️
@thewelshwonder1965 yes I'm hoping that tomorrow it's looks better 🙏 if not it's the settings I tried 😢
I absolutely love watching you and the boys
Double intro?
@@MTBEAST007 school boy error
Epic bud 😀
great video great spot to ride gutted i missed it 🥲😂😂😂💯🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Is this Dowies? My goodness, JJ MTB said they were flowy. They're gnarly af lol
@@TheBikeRoom 🤣🤣🤣
@TheBikeRoom top half is flowy but the bottom is tech steep
Lovely to see me with the no breaks action at the start 😂
Mate this place looks mega, can’t wait to go there
We will have great laugh up there mate and your boys will love it ,
@ I’m sure we will bud
You outdid yourself today and we loved the ‘woody woodpecker’ comment.
@philjones4903 🤣🤣 thank you buddy 🙏
Great to see you ripping Deri!!
@JamesRobertMTB loved it James , looking forward to getting back there & ticking of that pallet drip in 🤙 trail builders done a fantastic jop
Top Job again, we're heading over there tomorrow for a play 😬
Have a good one 👍
@Moosemears enjoy buddy. It's a great place 👍
great video looked a tad steep even on the gopro 😵😵😵💯🤟🤟🤟fare play boys
Bloody tree huggers 😳🤣🤣🤣… good watch marra ✌️
@jaynolajones 🤣🤣🤣 cheers buddy 🤙
Fair play mate, if it looks steep on gopro it'll be near vertical for real!
@briztoleez9025 cheers dude appreciate it
Nice bit of gnar!!
Top video as always and another great day out
Jesus that place is steep as f👀k
That place looks mint ! 😃
@Tuckandrollers you need to go there guys you will love it
Class there fairplay ...the berms are so well made ...and loads of trails
Hopefully get up there next week , been taking bout going there for years . 🤦🏼😂
@Tuckandrollers I will see if the guys fancy it , will be a laugh
That would be a laugh ! 😃👊🏼
When was you up there? I was up there today with my son it would have been amazing to ride with you Vids just don’t do this place justice it’s absolutely mental lol definitely not for the faint hearted I rode from my house done 7 runs and got home with 40+ percent battery 😁
@WORKEVERYWEEKEND we was up there Sunday , will definitely be back in the next couple of weeks to give it another go , will be great to have you join us on a ride , your more than welcome anytime, join our FB group crash test dummies mtb , we post most of our rides on there buddy 🤙🤙
@ I’ll join the group in a sec 👍 Keep at it up there it’s an absolutely amazing place to ride hats off to the trail builders they’ve created a masterpiece imo
@ requested 👍
Good ride mate Keep smashing it 💪🏼💯
@Emtbwebb cheers buddy 👍
The tree hug and berm front wheel tuck looked like Mission Impossible, but you all had a crack at it which is more than I'll be doing. I do like the retro intros tbh, you know how it turns out so it's more relevant IMHO👍🤙
@TheBikeRoom nice one dude 👌 yes thought id try different intro ,
im guessing somewhere in wales?
@gordonwalmsley453 yes mate Deri south wales 👍
Has your mate had any problems with the damper in the zeb forks on the whyte e160s? I’ve got two bikes the same in gloss grey the damper failed on one of them and rockshox replaced it with the £360 upgraded damper with high and low compression I’m hoping the second bike has the same problem before the forks run out of warranty it’s a common fault apparently
Looks great fun! I need to break the barrier wih my new ebike, dont really want to ride in those conditions as my bike is brand fire new but will have to get it involved with muddy wet days at some point 😂😢 last time i rode in those conditions my motor started playing up 🤪 definitely great fun though 🤘🏼
@Emtbwebb get on it buddy it's so much fun , just spray muck off silicone spray over your bike ( not brakes 🤣) and it protects your bike 😀
@@AverageDad2022 😂😂if i spray it on my brakes i would get the fastest lap though 🫣😊🤘🏼 yeah i have started using a spray from Screwfix called OB41 silcone, its very good 👍🏻
Terrible conditions but brilliant day with loads of bants 😂
@@markh2k2 great laugh
Wowsers, fair play for sticking it out in those conditions. Sod that.
@Moosemears cheers buddy 👍 it was a tad wet and mucky 🤣🤣
great video mint day out with lots of banter and the odd crash 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯🤟🤟🤟🤟
bog fest, great day with the boy's as usual. nice to meet quan.
Horrible conditions, great footage 👍
Thanks 👍
I’m there with you Mate. I have some of those same struggles. Riding didn’t look too bad to me Mate 👍
@5492sparky thank you , yes it's hard isn't it ? Definitely need a catch up soon have a ride over Ross vagus
