Squad’s looking fire. We’ve got the feedback little portable kit, which is epic. We’re going to start on top of the helmet. I know everyone likes a chin mount, but it is a bit heavier. So, we’re going to start up top, move to chinny as the day goes on. Yeah. All right. We got a bike switch going on here. Rem dog. We got air in that sucker. You do? Yes, dude. Look at the size of it.

Yes, squad. Oh, mate. They’ve buttered this bad boy up. That’s a little dub there. I’m stopping quick. Dude, they made it so much better than last year.

All right, I’m going to put up again. Well, you can gap that now. This is like all good, dudes. That’ll be good, Jenn. It’ll take a minute to come loose now. Oh, they really renowed the track. Oh, yeah. Like it’s way more of a turn than you think and you like slide out the takeoff, right? It probably saves you a roll for go. We’ll see how we go. Yeah, it was gnarly last year. Wow, this is sick. Yo yo yo. So fun. This is really sick. How good is that? That’s awesome track. This bit of track is so good. Boys and girls. That’s insane. Um, probably the boys and girls are loving it and it’s riding unreal. Oh, bad line by me. Wa, that’s tight. Yes. Dude, that is so fun. Last year that track was good, but this year that’s unreal. They’ve done some work, made some improvements. What do you reckon, dude? That was insane. Hyped on that. Where’s the crew? Don’t worry. I just went right, but How good is that? So good. So good.

All right, I’m going to stop down here and look at one of these lines as well. Jenna. Yeah, dude. Cambodia. Yeah, it is gnarly. Hey, that’s way easier this year. So, I’m going to do this one here. And then I think I want to go hide. Pretty straightforward there. Over there is this bit I want to look at. Yeah, dude. Woo! Easiest cowboy. Yeah, that’s the line. Yes, dude.

I’m just going to do right. sets you up better though. Yeah, true. Cruiser in guys. Yeah, this is really fun. Oh, I love it. Downhill is the best. Oh, how fun is this? I thought I just stopped to quickly reconvene. Are we going to the car? Oh, I forgot. Can we go this way? I was having too much fun. That track there. We could or we could just get lunch now. It is 105 here. Jenn There’s a rat hanger and a pull out of it. Yeah, we went the wrong way. We’re going back over now to meet Jenna. Oh, I was just too carried away having too much fun.

You following too much? You’re doing like some good like racing? Yeah, dude. Isn’t Jenna following you? Don’t think up here, are you? No, no, you can follow if you want. You want to do a few good little lines? Let’s do it. I had the boys. I was like, “Oh, how fun, dude.” Yeah, I’m dog. I’m trucking on, dude. This is so fun. Oh, I missed their line. I literally told him they were good. I messed up your line back there. Dude, that’s quite hard on your hands. I know. Yeah. Three laps in.

We’ve got the Insta 360 Ace Pro 2 chin mount on now. We’re going to go up, chuck that sucker on, get some good clips. Almost at the top of the lap for been watching the footage back. I’m going to switch to pure video mode now because the light’s crazy. There’s some dark bits. So, the Insta 360 Ace Pro 2 has got a mode for that. This is chin mount on the chairlift.

We’re going to do an Insta Connie lap. So, we’re actually going to leave you behind this lap and go get some clips for lap six. Might do another one with this after, but we’re going to have more of a race day tomorrow, practice, and do a qual race lap. So, we’re not going to do too too much today. Six laps down there. Still fair show after a big travel. Oh my god. I can push. Thanks, dude. Hello, sports fans. Unfortunately, this is not the end of this video I want to be making. Um, yeah, we had five amazing laps at Shazoro Shaori yesterday on the Saturday. This is the week before Poland. Went up to get a little lap in, do some Instagram clips and unfortunat I went first. generally gone down the hill and um I just I still don’t even know when I look at it. I slid my front wheel on either a loose rock or a rock that was embedded in the ground. So, you kind of came down this rock section. I’ll put the clip in after this before a little triple that I’ve been doing all day. So, we done five laps. No worries. I got a bit sketchy a little bit further up on a loose rock with my rear wheel on this exact run and was like, “Oh, just go easy, dude. You’re just getting some phone clips. You don’t need to do anything crazy.” came down, front wheel slipped, just threw all my weight right and I just went off into the bushes. Unfortunately, I’ve cracked my left owner, I think it is, and a bone in my right hand. Maybe the owner as well, but the hospital, well, the doctors that they sent the results to said I was fine, but luckily the X-ray guy and the nurse there was really nice and you could see the cracks pretty obviously. So, super gutted. But unfortunately, I crashed and then Ryan Griffith, Tom Mos we call him, was coming down 20 seconds later to get the same clip and had the exact same crash. Like, you honestly can’t write it. Like, I never I was lying in the bushes getting up. I’d shout at Jenn the clip, “I’m fine. I’m fine. I’ve just hit my hand. I’m taking my time to get up.” As I’m turning around on my hands and knees to get up, Ryan’s just flying through the air having the identical crash. It was so weird. And he wasn’t actually even doing a triple. He was like doing a double and roll through that section. And I was just kind of tripling on the rocks. Again, it wasn’t super gnarly. We weren’t going crazy quick. I’ve never seen anything like it if I’m honest. Like the crash is just comes out of nowhere. Super unfortunate. I have never ever trained this hard or put this much into a season with the staff around us. Barney, Jenna, mechanics, everyone. I’ve stopped drinking for the last two or three months to try and just focus and be in a better spot for this season and done absolutely everything. We’ve flown to Poland a weekend early. It’s Jenna’s 21st yesterday and she didn’t really want to come to Poland. Wanted to hang out in the UK, but we were like, you know what, it’s going to be good. We’ve been riding W a lot. We were going to ride a fresh track. Really focus on just getting back up to speed on the new track and just we were having such a good day. Last year, honestly, it wasn’t our favorite track. Super Nai and Jenkin. They’ve done some amazing work here on the track we’re at and it was so fun. Honestly, the day was going so well. We’ve done five amazing laps. We’re just like, we’ll go get some Instagram content and it just went wrong so quick unfortunately for myself and Ryan. And Ryan had a huge cut on his lip. Cut it pretty badly and had a concussion. He was knocked out and yeah, Phil for the guy honestly. He was riding amazing as well. Luckily, Jenna stopped Remy before he came down and did the same or hit one of us lying on the floor. But these things happen. I honestly can’t believe it. I’ve avoided riding motorbikes. I’ve tried to be so smart. Ryan’s been so on it and so focused. I couldn’t give the kid more credit for trying to learn and take on pointers that we’ve tried to help with and be really focused going into the season. So, shout out to Ryan. Everyone send Ryan some love on Instagram and in the comments here. He’s a he’s a warrior. He had took a a much bigger crash than me, I’d say yesterday. Went further. Didn’t get his hands out. I mean, I did. It didn’t work out too well for me, but he Yeah, he took a really big head knock and cut his face pretty badly. So, give Ryan some love. I’m sorry I’ve let all my sponsors down and um team and fans, everyone. Yeah, I’ve never put so much into a season. So hopefully we’ll be back. I don’t know how long this is going to take. We’ve got some X-rays. I’m going to go to London in a week after Poland. Nothing’s really out of place. So I should be able to hopefully heal quick and be back for the season. I mean, this is hopefully going to be one of my last. Maybe I’m going have to go again next year as well now because yeah, I’ve never tried so hard to miss the best one. So, thanks for sticking with me. Thank you for everyone’s support and we’re going to be back. It could be a lot worse. I hit my right leg really, really hard and I’m surprised I didn’t break a femur. So, looking at the positives, my leg’s fine. I’ve got a huge bruise on my right leg. Didn’t break a femur. So, there’s a huge positive there. It could always be worse. I’m going to be fine. Just Yeah, this sucks real bad. But thanks so much for everyone’s fan support and sponsors team, everyone that’s put some work into us this season. We will be back. The enduro crews going hard at it. We’ve got Jenner and Remy that going to hold down the downhill side for me and Ryan. Ryan’s probably going to be back before me hopefully. We’ll see how his head feels now he settles in there and this cut goes. But mad shout out to everyone. Thanks so much for everyone that supports us. We do feel it. And um yeah, this won’t be the end. We’ll be back to race. Just going to keep my fitness going thanks to Jarrett and everyone. Just going to have to stay as fit as we can for the next few weeks. And yeah, I don’t really know what else to say. Sorry for not being in Polo next week. We will be there. BK’s foot merch will be there as long as the pivot factory racing stuff. Come say hi. might try and help out track side. And this isn’t the end, but it’s just a small setback. Oh, turn this off. It’s a struggle.
