100 view club
Your face was sheer disbelief 10:50
By far one of my wildest days out! Thanks so much to Danny for all his help and coaching 😎🤘
Hey dude, how was you're day?, yeah not much man, I've just followed a world champ down a little hill in Switzerland, you know…just boring stuff….
Watching him just straight disappear when you tailed him down to lunch…shows just how incredible those top riders really are.
10:50 I would have the exact same look on my face.
"I'm screwed" that's it haha so jealous tho
Dont know what u've done to that man to get him to play along but he seemed like he did not want to be there… 🙂 low motivation
Great video- good to see dany chilling.
Well deserved sandy 👍
Fergus 👶: We're 20 seconds in
Danny 💀: We're 10-15 seconds in
Thank you Fergus and Danny for the vid. That course would be wicked fast in the hands of Danny Hart .Awsome job Fergus for taking Danny on 🍻 cheers gentlemen looking forward to next adventure.
GREAT SHOW!!!!!!
Just a steep Blue 🤷♂️😂
The music on the baseline 😂
Great content idea this. Well done committing to those turns Ferg. How smooth is Danny 🤯
What a great lad.
I love "let's grab a quick coffee". Cut to, both of them have half empty beers.😂😂
Fair play Ferg that was no easy task even getting close to Danny's time! It's a bit like putting Clarkson in an F1 car and telling him to get within 10% of any current F1 drivers time.
I've known this track for years watching races there but this is the 1st time I actually saw the height of that sketchy "drop" near the top.
Fergus, you were down before you posted the video. But must say you did a hell of a lot better then i would
you watch gmbn riders and think "damn he's a good rider" then you watch a video like this and think to yourself "he must be tired" then think "ive got a lot of work to do" 😂
Such a great video, Danny is really good on camera, what you see is what you get. Top guy. You got pretty close there Ferg! Some Mavens and you would've had another 10 seconds for sure 😜
Fergus… dam courage guy. Danny … run out of superlatives
Gmbn team – great videoing
More if this, great content!
dont worry Ferg,my lady says youre way better looking.lol.
This is a fantastic video! Thank you!
What a legend
He bottled the high line 😂😂
On the shandy's with the southerner 😂 love it.
danny needs to be a regular guest on gmbn
