This week is the latest BK Sport Leat. Should just click into place. No. Click her into place, dude. Yo yo yo. We’re here with your boy Roger. We at our door. All right. Jokes aside, look at the pits. My phone’s level. The pits here are so downhill. We’re set up getting suspension off some fox servicing. There’s a lot of mana ne wild man and we’re gonna go track walking. Who’s this dog? What are you up to? Our team area is actually char’s running down the bank. The squad’s getting ready. Hot off the press as well. Eddie Masters is going to be racing this week. Hot off the press. Hot off the press. We’ve just got it in the group chat. Eddie Masters is downhiller again. Got it. Oh, bad zoom. You excited, Freddy? I’m so excited. I don’t even ask. I wasn’t the merch is excited. Oh, man. We’re all You want to go track walking? Do you want to go for a track walk soon if they turn up? Back with the squad. We got the Jen BK Sport on Emily. Finish line’s over here and we take quite a scenic chair lift up here. This is the start. We’re at 2,364 meters. I think that’s about 20,000 ft in American terms. So, pretty high altitude start here. Quite a cool start ramp. And you go straight into this little fadey right, but when you get down there, it’s hard to see the landing. And it’s a really tricky off camera first righthander. Okay, dude. Let’s go. Boris, looking good, dude. We need to get some fresh BK Sport for you. Yeah. Yeah, dude. Haircut shaved. You feeling okay? Whoa. Holy. Holy man. Fresh. Fresh, dude. Big pool here. M. I ced this last year. It’s a sketchy little jump into a savage off camera ride. They’ve like tilled it like a motocross track. Last year I did the jump. Oh no. Rem dog has ced the road gap here. First run real bad. I just come back from a concussion and then he I created more whiplash. You’re looking smart today, Rev. Oh god, look at the view up here. It’s unreal. The layers. Could you say it’s kind of like West Virginia? Blue Ridge Mountains. Kind of is a bit more aggressive. Scrub. Scrub. This turns always get pretty savage. And you need to carry bulk exit speed for this. Look who just snuck him up. Yeah, dude. Where’s Eddie? Did you actually get him entered? Yeah. So Eddie Masters is racing. Eddie Masters is in dude. He’s crossed out Ryan Griffith and he’s in silver linings in Blue Ridge Mountains. Two sacks. Little drum out the next turn. Scrubby day. Yeah. Right round. This is such a high speed b. Quite a cool sender offer. Yeah, we came up here with it. I know. They’ve lipped it up loads. Compared to what I thought it normally, is this also more of a thing. This looks like a way bigger b. We normally by race day you inside this pretty hard rule. You just lower the b into the next high speed tree jump. You want to land up here by the grass by remog and then just be low in the burm. You want to make this track as short as possible up here. L’s mining for those good lines, dude. Sports fans, write in the comments, I’m hoping to come to Brazil with Raj, do some racing, some filming. Let us know if you want us there. Where the merch girls should come and sell some merch. Where the staff should come and manage. Let us know if you want us in Brazil. We are keen to go though. Any airlines out there want to hook up a sponsorship cuz he was turned before. All right. So, Latam, Latam, if you’re watching, hook Roger up. Hook the squad up. We’re keen to come visit. All right, back on track. You always want to get kind of out there high. Oh, they’ve shut it. They’ve made this a lot wider. Like you used to kind of go where the pad was here and now we’re kind of coming out quite a bit wider to this rut. Got a few. That post is way further out than normal into the first rocks. It’s quite sick. Dummy. Give us a little smile. Jump from that. Emily’s saying maybe out to just left of a lease down generous and then gap overright. Yeah, I think that was Yeah. I don’t hate coming through here though and then just on like almost that pink bit. Yeah. And then in or all the way in. It looks like such a cake from up there, but here it’s flat and in just over them. This has chewed out so much. Like as the dirt used to be there, it used to be lom ground grass level. Now you’re realistically all just going through here off rock left. Yeah. And then just pump down where Rey’s feet are. Double and off you go. It’s cool track to ste like the tracks in Brazil. If we were allowed to go pretty similar though, what’s the road gap track called? Uh, I I’m keen to shred Iama. [ __ ] let’s go. This one’s quite a little fun road gap and you always get good few lines in this turn because it gets so I mean you can just about see the holes already there from last year. They patched up but there’s a higher low or just hit the holes left. Very important right cuz you need to carry bulk exit speed out before the road gets. Oh wait, we got a new thumb. There’s dummies and there’s dummies, guys. I think you built the landing up. Oh, yeah. It’s so much higher. It looks sick little road gap. It looks really short. Rand, give us a shaka. Is this shorter than thinking? Personally, I always find this one quite hard to judge how much to break because you get scared, you break, but you can hit this next kind of section way quicker than you think. Kind of in through here. Watch out for strimmers or weed whackers. Write in the comments what you call them in your country. Now you try and pass the guy stood in the way. Wan, brother. Hey, what do you call that thing there that you guys using? Stripper. Stripper. Yes. All right. There’s a stripper. We call it a stmer where I’m from. It’s cuz you’ve never used one, isn’t it? No. What do you call it? A stripper. His gardener does it. The gardener. His gardener does it. Watch out for the stripper. We’re trying to look at some dust. Fever. Pay fever is what you call it. It’s like this little right. Quite important. We’re into the second kind of wooden thing. You can gap the way first. Oh, double the boom. They’ve changed it completely cuz this used to have like a one foot drop off the end and was a lot steeper, but they round it off, which is quite a nice change. What line would have and then slap left down the hill. seen some huge eat straight through these nets on the road as well. Hopefully not this year and sometimes you got outside or people slap inside inside which is quite cool but they’ve made that burm a lot better than usual. Fair play. Half second reset in the road and then drop back in to the gnarly. It’s one of the gnarly parts of courses all year. It goes steep and then down to this like flat section. pretty much in a minute have to no break a shoot so so fast and risk it all. Hold up. We have a new section. We’re happy to see it. Oh, good. Cuz this bit was scary. Yeah, this is rad out turn. Little lump. We’re going in some fresh lone. Normally you went like straight under. Yeah, exactly. But there’s a high ledge for now and then it’s going to be super tight back on itself. Oh yeah. So then you’re going to come through here and down straight to these pegs. If you can see him in the grass there. I’m going to put this on. Yeah. I’m going to say you’re going to be trying to clip both pedals on these. And straight into this catch. If you can a freshy turn and we go into I think we went here last year. A tight left. Hey dude, let me find you some welder. Whoa. You’re going to carry some speed out here this year, which could be scary in the next straight. Little step down and this could be the most insane. Yeah, like come on, Andor. We’re trying to slow this straight down. It’s so They’ve definitely made it smoother and easier by the looks of it, but pretty gnarly. How fast? From up there, zero brakes. So from all the way up there, straight as the as far as the I can see, you get to here. Get here quick. This [ __ ] this little high route hop line. You can hop from here and as you land, start breaking really hard. My main concern is breaking bumps cuz this thumb is super weak trying to hold on. So unfortunately for me, this is not what we want to see at the end of a high-speed straight steey. So you got an inside, but a lot of people last year that was a chance last year. I did awful unfortunately. Like outside sometimes people go rocks. So, you want to set up and come out wide for this or you just blaze inside, which I don’t hate at the minute. I’m just turning super tight rock, but you’ve got to get quite less down there, but for us, right, so we’ve got normally wide wide inside inside. And as most weeks, Lloydy, they pretty much all turn out the same depending on which one you prefer. But we all have 20 lines, guys. Anyways, remind myself off here. Kind of where skate stood into the middle. Like over pinky and then into the V between those two. I did think that as well. Two rocks. MCD media. We got Win Masters. What are we saying? Win. Uh, well, yeah, just send it on. Send it on. Yeah. I’m going for the shortest possible line. Yeah. So it’s not so rough. Oh yeah. Are you going to race this week? It might rain. It’s a shorter track. So it could and if it does if the rain came in it rains on qual day then. But but but if what happen if it rain for finals and maybe qualify and qualify though? Yeah. But you could maybe you don’t know like thumb’s pretty weak. Are you going to are you going to do do practice? Do practice. A time training run to see if you can do it. Maybe that would be a good uh a good shout to see if time training run if I can hang on. See how see how you can hang on. You know, I’ll do it. We’ll do, dude. That’ll be a test. It will. And you had like a Velcro wrap. I might do that. Smart idea. I like you to just round this guy out over it. Whatever we can get. And then you kind of drop into quite a gnarly section. It’s always very blind. Sun’s spotty. Quite important. Like, why would I even be on those? Because you like going wide, but I like the high here. But high from there or high from here? On the rocks. Rocks and then into where just left of MCD media. It was different. Wait, I’m just quickly getting an update with Eddie Master’s mechanic on track checking out some lines. It’s a duo. It’s a duo. Here he goes. I need to know what he’s going to break so I know what to fix. I’d love to hear it. Couple lines here, dude. We got down or there. I need to smooth this line through here. I I might be an outside guy or even here cuz when you go off this I remember last year you have to risk it for the biscuit. You got low to high and then you dead straight or a high to low. We’ll watch world champs if we can from last year some race friends and see what looked better. So you come all the way down through this tech kind of rough and you have to no break into this little jump. It’s a real fun section when you can hang on just you’re like what in here everyone was going high last year again. It’s kind of a no break section but you’ve got one like little gnarly stump but I think we were going just above it and then turning down. All right, we’re in the BK Sport section here. Fresh helmet coming up later in this vlog. LSD, sorry. This is the term that decided the race for Lake last year. You come in here, as you can see, it’s barely a ledge. And he came in full commitment and blew her out. It’s what you got to do. Out of the piece, left, right. Looks like they’re still finishing the track here. And we’ve got a roll up and then a triple, I think. We’ll go see what’s here. So, you’re absolutely hooking what looks to be a roller and then a triple or a roll and then a double. Not sure how that’s going to work at race speed, but we’ll see. They’re the World Cup tracks. They must know what they’re doing. Another tough section. We’ve seen some big crashes here over the years cuz you come from this bright sunshine into, as you can see, really dark woods. Little split little kicker we’ve got in this year. I like that. We got a low and a high. Right. So, we got a high down to low. We got this one here. And now now we got very serious which I’m liking at the minute into cuz this is banked up at least in my opinion way more than usual. So you can carry bulk exit and that is already down to the pad on the tree cross the piece in the next wood. It’s 11:00. It’s so packed in now. This was soft and lomy and could go through there. But we just go through here. You were saying through the left here. Yeah. Loris and through the left. They reckon they just cut in and did it tidy cuz this is so rough. Rough. So you just come up high here and then cut in. It looks weirdly tight, but Yeah. But then here is very rough. Yeah. And you’re just shortening the track. I’m not mad that it went. And down this next section isn’t super high speed. It’s so much smoother than before. Hard pack. Say Loris. Lawrence got to win a jersey here. The race here and they jersey keeps wearing the same one. He still wears the same one. That would be like good luck. Or it has rainbows on it. Yeah. Yeah. The rainbow one that he won. Yeah. So he keeps wearing the same one. He’s only got Oh, car thing is the actual same one. No, he’s probably got 20. I know that. I thought he had her and then I thought she got it, but then just then I was like, have we still got her? Then I thought he switched to me talking about his like team jersey. I’m like, no, I don’t mean his team jersey. He switched teams. Yeah. back of that. It’s not too late. It’s not too late. Car is key. Right. This is so chewed in high speed now. I’m getting called for some lines down here. What we got? What we got? One line. One line. Yeah. We’re going left through here tight to the tree and then right. There was a high inside here. I think it became just the bang, this little rut there. and then across. I think either will be similar, but this one is mindless. Pop up left of pinkies and off the next little drop. So, okay, the boys are raking tight little trees here and off the drill drop off this little guy. This used to be quite techy and he’d slow up cuz those little lomy turns and set up, but I think we’ve been really pinned this week. Please, Rain, help us out. So, I think now we’ve just got one main rut. There was two here. You turn left out, but I think it’s looking like one main. And then you go into quite a gnarly little rock section at the end of your run. Well, we were threading between these two. Just go straight through here. I think you could just b straight through cuz there’s kind of like a rut and I don’t think you want to be all the way out there. like straight here. I think maybe where I’m going. No, and then just turn left here. Straight there. No, yeah, maybe you can come here. Because this is so grabby now. You might be right that there is a high on the right there or straight down. Unfortunately for Dakota, it all came unstuck down here. If you come through here and miss the first compression, it’s hard cuz your exit speed’s pretty important out of these woods. Really important. Yeah. So, either just inside this little kicker will catch it over the rock and then out the last woods. Dakota nor in the green right here. So, this is important. It’s like a little bounce bounce gap out again. tricky last turn, you think, cuz you get some big holes. So, you can either go high and inside some of them or just hit them. But you could make or break a win or a podium on this last turn cuz it carries quite a bit of speed to the finish. You could lose half a second here pretty easily. You’ll see some people absolutely darous and some people squid it through the line. We still get blown, but it does look bigger and better. And we got a little double through the finish. And that is track. But don’t worry, don’t go anywhere. We got some surprises in the pits for you. Got TVs getting built. We got safety man harness. Dude, double safety harness. Is this DH Masters? That track’s not ready for me. Oh, baby. He can’t wait. Um, yeah, it looks all good. Looks all good. Okay. Nice, dude. I don’t like the light. I don’t even like light though. Should we do some laps together? What? Press day laps? No, we’ll do press do some today. I’ll press Eddie tomorrow. Yeah, we’ll press today. Okay. Right. So Eddie’s the old Eddie’s best ever downhill result is actually here in Andor. Yeah. Ninth ninth horse. Pretty good feeling. He’s coming back to where he feels strongest. And then um 2022 I lost my tooth in finals. Oh, you did? On the gap. It will happen to you, man. Few iconic runs here, you know. All right. And then coming in hot for myself this week is the latest BK Sport Leat flat white paint creation. If you want to get your helmet painted in the UK, check out flat white. They don’t owe me a deal. Maybe they will now. But check this bad boy out. It’s pretty sick. I’ve tried to go for some old like retro kind of Yamaha speed block vibes. We’ve changed it up a bit and he’s sanded it down. See if you can see this to the raw carbon. Yeah, you can just see that there cuz these leats are carbon. Pretty sick. pretty hyped on that and that will be coming in hot for press day tomorrow with any masters. How are you baby? You want to sign that off? Sign her off, dude. See you if pressed a
