Episode one of finding the best mountain bike trails in the uk.

Today we were at wych lodge mtb trails in Taunton (somerset) where we found a number of flowy trails. The video was cut short by my first mountain bike crash!

After 2 days of riding these trails I would rate wych lodge a 6.4, very fun and perfect for any ability but hard to find and some jumps need abit more maintenance. Would defiantly recommend checking them out though !

welcome to episode one of the mountain bike progression videos and for the first episode we’re going somewhere that I haven’t really heard much of that it could be because it’s a Hidden Gem or it could be because it’s [ __ ] either way we’re going to find out we’re going to go and ride it and yes these are my girlfriends glasses the trails that we’re going to today are called witch Lodge my back feels like I’ve been sleeping on a lamp post last night so hopefully that loosens up anyway I’ll see you there of course on the way there we got to get some tunes on to pump us up so here we go Mama Mia soundtrack hell yeah I don’t know how lose control You Can Dance well I think we’re here anyway as always we have no idea where we’re going is that a sign there absolutely no hell whatsoever I’m going to get the bike out the van and we’ll figure out where we’re going after that so I think we’ll try and head this way just see where we end up it’s the first at a proper trail with the new bike I’ve been at some local jump lines but not an actual [Music] Trail yeah I’m lost blows my mind why they can’t just put a sign in the car park anyway I’ll see you when I get there I think I found it I can see BMS I can see jumps so I think I found the top of the trail I was literally lost about an hour then have a quick drink then I’ll do a first run right then first go go on ducky ducky ducky ducky wow no oh I slipped just going halfway back to the top cuz I want to try and jump that Gap oh it slipped again does feel good though W Jesus we spent about an hour playing around and finding new trails this was Matt’s first day back riding after about 10 years off and this place is perfect for that it’s nice and quiet and there’s loads of tabletops it means you can make some good progression oh nice mate yeah L’s better so yesterday I was trying to find some step-ups I couldn’t quite find them and I’ve come back today and I found them toally humongous one over here which I’m not going to try just cuz it doesn’t quite add up to me well that takeoff don’t if you can see it just seems far too steep for the landing that’s about 15t away and you can see on the actual Landing that it’s like corroded due to everyone absolutely casing it I expect so yeah I’m not going to try that one but I am going to try that step up there it’s a bit more bit more mellow less chance of certain death let’s have a little look can keep it the jump in that massively after riding that step up we started to film a Tik Tok video we were filming clips from the tops to the bottom of the trail all was going well until I may have got a little bit too confident there was a small kicker which leads to a burm and I think I was going a bit too fast and then this happened yeah I learned the hard way that trees don’t move for mountain bikes shot the bur by quite a bit slammed into the tree and as well as a SW KNE my toenail was at a right angle which unfortunately meant that was the end of the riding today which annoyingly also meant a rather short YouTube video at least I can finally say that I’ve hugged a tree at speed I’m going to be uploading multiple times a week now so make sure to like And subscribe and comment any ideas that you want to see me do and I’ll see you for the next one and hopefully not hug any tree
