How’s it going guys I’ve come to Northampton bike park today wasn’t expecting to go riding it’s a Saturday so it’s quite busy while it looks F the car park is pretty full just paid My5 to park for 3 hours which isn’t too bad been to sel Valley in this this week

Which is the same people that made this bike park here they actually made this one here first so yeah let’s go check this one out yeah you might notice I’m riding gloveless today simply because I forgot to bring any like an idiot got squeaky brakes but let’s check this out H this looks

Impressive I’m assuming I’m about here where this dot is even though it doesn’t actually say that’s where I am looks like you can go apparently the East tracks are that way which I think is going to take over to here and then there’s the West track so I think I’m

Going to stick to the West tracks first that looks like the fun stuff but instantly got a feeling I’ve gone the wrong way looks like there’s some big black lines that no one’s riding at the minute what’s this raise the tone West Trails pushup dual track let’s going to

Have a look at this dual track how you doing you’re right left all way what’s that left all the way is it yeah fair enough I realize his bike was so in the way he said left all the way I went left them right that went wrong overshot that wasn’t quite expecting

That let going back up and have another go these things are beer no didn’t realizes how he is bit warm pumpy I think we got rid of the squeaky brakes anyway now this looks a bit more promising they’re making a use out quite a small hill more Smiles for your miles

You haven’t got like an hour long climb for a 10-minute descent so here I am at the sort of top I suppose I think there’s a bit more to go but I think that’s more of like a family Trail sort of a bit of a loop this is kind of like

I think the drop into the main sort of runs as it were there’s the A45 which is the Red Trail and there’s one called jet black and Cherry Bomb which are two black runs so I think we’ll do the red first see how we feel and go from there

Let’s see what this is like little firm start off with we St into this jump we can get better at that the there we go it is a the J blind o we got to get better at this manual that one that was awful it’s a lot more worn in than the

Other parts you can See’s really fast that’s better then we’re going to actually my suspension a bit softer makes a bit of a difference those of you who don’t know just to let you know how the trail grading generally Works in mountain biking you’ve got green blue red and

Black green tends to be for everyone you know normal Leisure Bice that so blue is a little bit more technical you’re probably going to have to Pedal going to be some climbs red is definitely experienced Riders so there’s going to be jumps there’s going to be some parts

Of that trail some sort of features that are going to be Technical and hard to ride just to a beginner and then black is expert only uh if you’ve got a black Trail it’s can have big jumps in it big features in It Rock Gardens drops stuff

That really you need to be what would be considered expert riding before you can jump it or before you can ride it I’ve lost the bag now left it in the van let see what we can Do They hanging at my place I don’t know who they are I met them at the bar they bought a couple rounds said they want to see my house I guess I said okay it’s a TR it’s AAG now it’s a it’s a blast they want to know my

Name why you want to know my name they’re asking me again why you asking for a friend I sent it yeah sketchy as I washed out coming into it I was like full on hell just been uh chatting for a while to those guys there following down pushing each other so was

Good when you find a couple of locals similar ability and you’re kind of following each other down the trails this shark fin though on the black run this is the Cherry Bomb run I sent it earlier following that lad down forget his name now I do apologize I think I’m

Not going high enough off here I went a bit low but I felt like a washed out in this properly washed out and I went off really skew sent it but all manner of wrong I think I need to go and practice the other black run cuz I’ve not really

Got that clean at all in case of learning where stuff is on it and where to jump from so let’s go and check that Out oh that is horrible not getting that one at all oh rubbish I’m washing out my wheels are washing out that was rubish oh no back look at that up right Up a man it’s that corner it’s just that burm I’m jumping in to it and I feel like I’m staying too high I’m railing it high I need to drop down onto this bit I think just feels like I’m in out of corner come on let’s get higher speed is my
