Yes I enjoy riding with Phil.

It really is. You feel like you are riding on the moon.

Certainly made me concentrate for a bit.

Fine line between brave and stupid.😂

Yes the Gopro always makes it look easier than it is. Glad you enjoyed the video.

I really enjoy following someone like Phil. I am no longer trying to read the track but just following. We also had plenty of banter.

Thanks for the support

He certainly is.

Yes, certainly didn't want a lie down on that terrain.

I really enjoyed this ride.

Was living the dream. Now back in Auckland with the usual RAIN.

It really was a great day. Thanks for the support.

So is Phil😂

I don't think it is so much about motor drag as suddenly pedaling a long travel, heavy bike with big tires. Going from lots of assistance in turbo to nothing can be quite dramatic. Most of the motors and bikes are the same although some motors like the Fazua that don't have the motor in the bottom bracket can feel different. Personally I like to climb a hill then enjoy coming back down. Having a powerful motor and big battery is my preference and I like the Bosch motor. Best advice is rent a few bikes for a day and see what you like. Most people fall in love with it real quick.

Thanks for your reply I have had a demo on a few and the last being a Mondraker had the Bosch motor and for the first time it was very apparent.. if your into your tech you’ll have to call back in at Wainui in Welly very Much at the limits..!!!!!

Phil the bloody legend

@@JonnyRide1976 Reviewing the Mondraker Level RR currently. I quite like it. Keen to go back to wellington.

Nice tunes at the end Lance, mellow like the trail😊
