Hey! My Name is Noah and I'm the guy behind TrailTrialerMTB - a mountain biking focused channel which explores the best aspects of MTB! Through this channel, you can follow my adventures on my mission to ride some of the world's best trails, especially in 2024 with many exciting adventures planned!
Mountain Biking is by far my passion and I use this channel to combine my passion with my hobby of creating videos, so why not join me along for the ride creating great videos and riding great trails!
We ride many great trails throughout the UK - ranging from the flatlands of Norfolk, all the way to the mountains of Wales and Scotland! And most importantly, as the saying goes,
Great video. Please get a better mic , idk what was going on around 9:10 but it was becoming hard to hear you and whatever the sound was is painful lol
@@sterlingplumbingheating5539 Haha I nearly did! I nearly did ride in Skopelos but it was just too hot and I’d have been riding by myself so didn’t wanna take that risk 😅 would have made a good video though…
@@tommooll this video was filmed before I got my new bike so this was my old remedy 👌 my new one is the red/ yellow one which can be seen in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xdU0AV-DJ-8.htmlsi=ePBTTDQgGfJnbdaB
@@TrailTrialerMTB oh I see when you said back on your bike and it was black thought you’d got a other new bike or painted it, great video and thanks for the reply
wow it’s strange seeing those old Brandon side tracks without all the features. Such a shame, spent countless hours riding that set before they got destroyed. Great to see some proper mtb content from Suffolk and Norfolk! Get down twisted oaks someday, albeit not the best for an actual ‘ride’.
If you want the security of a paid carpark, park at Brandon Lodge, it's much cheaper. Has a cafe and wc. Or just park in any of the many laybys (but remember wich one)
Agree with the comment, best place ideally is Brandon country park, cheap, security and right next to great off piste trails. But this video I parked on the fire road near the bottom of the beast, where the bottom of the beast is, turn left and the first fire road on the left on BCP side of the road. I only did this so I could carry my tools up to trim those bushes more easily - I usually park in Thetford as have an annual pass for all FE sites but do agree it’s a bit steep for a day 😅
Hi thanks for this post, I went through this trail yesterday June 2024, it’s really good fun however it’s overgrown with vegetation, branches and bracken impeding the trail in most places. It’s free but it does need some maintenance. It’s also slightly different now.
I thought it said "Trek Remedy 5 - year review" like you bought an older Remedy 5 and put it through the ringer . I didn't realize the title meant Trek Remedy 8, one year review. I bought a remedy 5 a couple of years ago, and its plenty of bike for anything I will ever do. Besides, it fit my budget at the time. YMMV 😉
A bit late to the party 😅 this video was filmed in late November but make sure to stay tuned as more exciting videos are coming out in the next few weeks!
The riding is spectacular in this wood. Decent uphills and downhills, jumps, obstacles, and the occasional log. Most with easier routes if you need them. It also has a nice mix of horses, dogs, cyclists, adults, children, and tons of wildlife in space. Lots of birds and squirrels for starters, deer too. Serene with distinct seasonal changes, it's navigable almost all year round with the right tyres: the 'wet shallow mud on a hard base' sections can provide some entertaining sideways off-season moments. There will also be times when you have no choice but to ride through pedal-deep bog, and on one occasion it rained so much the grease got completely washed out of the bike's crown and headset. It was a squeaky and gravelly ride home. Your poor arse will thank you for full suspension: Bacton is not short of roots. It has more roots than Roots Manuva having a root canal while driving on Route 66 in a Rutabega-coloured Winnibego. It's great as it is, and would benefit from maintenance at the same time. An awkward un-banked 90-degree left-hander at the bottom of one downhill section can be a bit of a sphincter-puckerer, and the log jumps in one of the centre sections could be a little more accessible. Good to see someone blasting through them all though. There is a volunteer team who tidies the trails and I know of at least one guy who built rideable see-saws and other tricks in there.
The trail at 4:13 is honestly the worst bit of trail building I've ever come across, it should be a lesson in how not to build a trail, it's a complete disaster, and it doesn't flow at all.
Not a route but if you head towards Weybourne station from Sheringham park you’ll find the majority of the trails on the last hill before the station 🙌
looks like you need to know where you are going before riding other wise you'll spend most of the time looking where to go. No good unless its maintained or way marked
It's not too bad - just think of it as a slightly lop-sided square with the car park in the '2' position on a clock face. If you get lost, just keep riding in the same direction until you get to a bit you recognise. If you hit the edge of the woods (road or field), turn either left or right and follow the edge until you get back to the car park. The perimeter is only 2km-3km depending on the specific path you take.
The trail on the cliff isn’t supposed to be a bike trail and only for walkers, but as it was a quiet day we went that way as we did a full circular route. And I don’t have a route as such but if you check out Strava heat maps it shows where the trails are located nearby to weybourne station on the hill.
Whether it's good or bad depends on what you want or expect. For an old codger (67) like me the Blue Doon looks just right. I'm not really interested in setting to top time. Just an interesting slightly (and I do mean slightly) challenging trail.
Hey mate, I know it’s a long shot seeing as it’s been two years since the video came out but I was wondering how you mounted the shock in the bike I’m looking to replace my rear shock with a fox float X and don’t understand how to get the correct spacing for the mounts. Thanks
I got everything from a company called TF Tuned. If you look up on their website they should be able to provide the mounting kit for you to swap the shock straight over 🙌 as long as the shock is 230x57.5 or 230x60 you’ll be good 👍
@TrailTrialerMTB not really no. The top section with the bigger rollers is still there but all the smaller berms have gone. Its still fun but in a "off piste" kinda way
Went there for first time last month, thought it was very similar level to thetford. Neither was tough, both are good, fun routes for fitness. The campsite in sherwood is good though.
As it happens yesterday I rode this trail, I remember I went too fast on one of the turns and went over my handlebars haha. Sherwoodbforest is only about 45 mins from where I live so coming here every now and then isn't too out of the way. Love the tracks and love the forest :)
Compared to my local at Thetford and from the other opinions I’d heard, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s not a particularly tough trail but it makes for a nice XC route 😆
