Went for a bike ride with the missus on a lake shore rd the other day, she's riding a new $600 gravel/commuter and I'm on my hardtail and we hit a downhill that boosted us to just over 50km/h for a good 20-30 seconds. She went nuts! She was so excited to go that fast that she stopped and wanted to do it again.. For some context, she's never ridden a trail, rarely rides outside of her commute to work and has demonstrated 0 confidence in almost all aspects of riding. So when she flew ahead of me screaming WWEEEEEEEE I almost fell off my bike in bewilderment. We've been watching you two progress and she's almost at the point where she wants to take my 26er hardtail for a spin. So thank you for these kinds of videos cuz it's actually giving my wife a reason to leave her comfort zone.
Yo swinley is my local and I just thought I'd point out that there is a bunch of new trails :babymaker ,bikini carwash ,and there building a huge new freeeide area There all fast flowy DH trails and you missed all of them
@@freddiebrown9875 babymaker and bikini carwash are at the same place as RED 20 and you'll see a sort of trail head marker there's like a small orange mound and an unmarked enterance into the wood that is baby maker. Bikini carwash is just to the right and the freeridw zone is after BLUE 2 hope that helps 😁
Hey Tom Cardy and Kara Beal! Swinley forest looks cool! During your off time for surgery make a Kara progression vid! Show clips of her early ride vids and recreate the trials lines you had her learn the basics on! Then build something a bit harder!Ride ride ride!
Thanks for sharing the trail really good video, and top girl she's doing well!! but e-bikes at swinley forest?? why?? You are an awesome biker in a such a short track and small climbs like this... what's the point?? at least not for you dude!
I've only done Swinley a couple of times, 1st time was as dull as ditch water, 2nd time I thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt...... But nope, was still dull. I can see how it's great for families and learning though 👍

You should have ridden a trail called Baby Maker, it's a downhill trail with a couple of tables. Super sweet stuff :D
Touristy yh baby maker is the best
Labyrinth, baby maker and berminator kick ass at swinley 👍

That’s a sick idea! I’ll make it happen 🤟
What is the surgery on? I had a disc out of my back but I still ride my hardtail
Hey Adam Smith! Tom will be having surgery on his shoulder in October to stop it from dislocating!
@@ericm8811 hey, i was wondering thanks
Hmm may take my haibike sduro ebike there tomorrow.. Never ridden swinley b4 looks good
good vid boss, you shld of got a local to show you the hidden jumps and spots as they are huge
Next time you should ride babymaker it has a couple small jumps down the line
Next time bro!
@@TomCardy agreed and look up wilkins leap on babymaker as olly wilkins and brendog sesh it
I went here and it was sick
The red trail is fun if u can get all the way round without getting lost
Would love to see you visit bikepark wales sometime .. (My local)
It’s coming dude! 🤟
@@TomCardy cant wait 😀😀
Nice video of just general riding
Ps my cousin is the one that lives down your grandads road with the orange kona
I think you should go Aston hill bp when Kara gets a bit better
That is a sick idea!
OMG I love swinley
You should ride red 20, baby maker trail when your next at Swinly Swinley
he did ride Red 20.. which is Deer Stalker.. but not Baby Maker
Next time bruuu 🤟
Just curious, but why so much with the E bikes?
Yeo! They are good fun and a sponsor too 🤟
What day and time did you go?, I have never seen the car park or trails that empty, would be nice to ride ebike round swinley
David Hyde go week days in the late even around 6ish that’s when I go and I see like 10people
I was there 2pm ish on a weekday and saw less than 10 bikes
Sick vid
Thanks dudeeeee 🤟
I need some red metal pedals u got any
I live right next to swinley ive ridden every trail
They any good ?
Yeah he missed baby maker and bermasuarus those are probably my favourite
Oh that’s calm bro
Bikini car wash is cool and I’ve go to swinley summit but I’m only ten so babymaker isn’t that calm
Bro do u have like insta that I can message u on or something ?
T&K Iz Okayeezy!
