When canyon gaps bite back!

In this episode Brendan and I head into the woods to tackle a feature which Bren has been working on in secret! A 50 foot canyon hidden deep in the surrey hills. Riding big features on a small bike with a canyon expert. What could possibly go wrong?!
In this episode I'm riding my Focus Jam. Where my body failed my bike did not. It's a 150mm travel bike capable of giant gaps and giant crashes!

Fair play, thats a serious gap well sent by both of you. Can't wait for the next instalment. Heal well Olly

[@GoGoScottZilla]

I say "God Damn!" Only thing missing was a cape. Heal fast, Olly. 💯

[@burton528hz]

Thanks for sacrificing your body for content. It was fun to watch, but bummer you got injured. Love the positive vibes!

[@dirtyberty3933]

Hats off to ya Ollie, that was full commitment if ever I've seen it!!! Loving your positive attitude following the accident. Hope you heal up fast!!

[@benjybluehat]

Oh Olly Olly Olly, you silly sausage. Heal soon dude, and stay away from that naughty Brendog. He's a bad influence on you. 😂

[@filipes.7528]

That jump is absolutely nuts, Brendog is a maniac 😂 get well soon 👍

[@danytheunicorn95]

get well soon ollie, quite a clean fracture, should be back on the bike on a couple of months for mellow rides, 6months for gnarly trails. Take care brother

LaaaahdaaaMercy! I wish there was a way of putting you two into perspective. I'm going to try : I am now what can best be described as a 'lower intermediate grand veteran'. 54 years old. Started MTB in 200s. No background of BMX or dirt jumping. Learned before TH-cam was a thing. Based my expectations and aspirations on still Pics of Rob & Peatey and the the Atherton 'kids'. Maybe getting lucky enough to borrow a 'Kranked' DVD once. I get to the point on my Turner 5 Spot, where I'm happy rolling into Black Runs across the 7 Staines and most of the old Welsh trails. But jumping is still hard to come by and there is no hint of a sculpted transition anywhere. All jumps in my world are still based on Eval Kineval .... BPW arrives, things change. Twisted Oaks arrives and things change fast for me. Short course learning. Repeat jumping and Berming. Great. In my head I'm now amazing. I see images of the Surrey Hills on TH-cam, I watch Bren & Olly regularly, I watch Sam Reynolds and Bernard K (sometimes I even watch Deaks 😉) . My mind goes soft. I start to accept that this riding is just ... riding? I compare my local trails and features in real life to the TH-cam world... It does start to feel a bit weird when I show people clips of me doing something that took a year to learn and get the courage to do, like a 12ft gap with 5ft take off and landing ramps... and people are like mmmmmeh. I watch Sam Pilgrim and I saw some Rampage reels. 😶‍🌫Ok then. Before xmas, I went down to the Surrey Hills and rode some of the natural stuff and saw some of the tamer features. I followed some experienced Grand Veteran locals..... FFFFFFSSSSSS!! It's ridiculous. Just riding down some if this stuff is more technically demanding that anything other than a modern Bike Park Black run. And most of that extreme grading is based on features not the the natural tech!! Olly & Bren are hitting insane features AFTER riding down this insane natural terrain. For breakfast. At one point I considered suing GoPro & TH-cam for misinformation and putting my life at risk by making me think this stuff is actually achievable. It's not. Riding their lines is akin to trying play your local pub football team against A premiership side. I am going to find this gap and just sit there for an hour and meditate. Thank you both as always for your wonderfully humble humour and non corporate unamerican content. We all love you. Meanwhile Mr Wilkins, complex B vits, lots of water and your usual positive mindset. Oooohhhmmm!

[@koen37]

heyyy there it is. looking forward to this one

[@craigweightman799]

That jump was insane congrats to you both on clearing it get well soon dude. 🤙

[@bikewatcher5428]

Hurry up Olly 😂🤣👍

[@russellstanford4584]

[@zzeNN1]

Healing vibes mate. Fair play to you. To even consider taking that on you’ve got to be world class. That and a bit nuts. Be back on the saddle in no time

[@cclemoyne4033]

I say it was the landing. That bone was right over the end of your bars.

[@Dwyane1st]

Damn I thought the music sounded familiar, it was in one of Casey Neistat's vlogs as well! Fits the vibe of the video absolutely. Another lovely video Olly wish you a speedy recovery!

[@jaymorris3149]

Absolutely love this, proper big balls stuff. Heal fast dude. 🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@darrenwilliams6827]

Looks like you done yourself proper buh,all the best for a speedy recovery

[@nigelrandtoul8646]

When you jump it again, you know you will, maybe add a click or two more HSR. Seriously huge kudos for jumping it and going further than Bren. Heal fast dude.
