One you just HAVE to do! 1080 metres above sea level at the mountain summit. One of the most technical gnarly descents for a mountain bike! Totally epic, we got to see sunrise, and an amazing climb and ride! Mount Snowdon in Wales. We left at 4am to capture the sunrise and we were treated to an epic one, with a gnarly rocky descent!

Amazing cinematography. The point this video makes is not just the exhilarating technical challenge of climbing and descending BUT the simple fact of the ability of ebike to transport you to the most scenic and breathtaking terrain in the most fun way. Good one Rob.

@RobRidesEMTB 2 года назад

What a ride, I LOVE big mountain riding, loads of gnarly tech! Super lucky to capture this sunrise and amazing scenes in Mount Snowdon, Wales. A bucket list for me! Whats on your list to ride?

Your cinematography is impeccable, super impressed by the quality of your videos. Just ordered my first emtb (a trance X helped by your review). Was a bit nervous about going for it as I am a fairly fit 48 year old that generally rides on the road. But emtb's just looked like too much fun to miss out.

Dear Rob, This is an incredible video. I watched it on my TV and I know I will have to experience it too. Great views, great camera! Thanks for your work! Christian

@stephenbrown5844 2 года назад

Morning Rob, ive walked this mountain, and what a day it was😵60 mile anhour winds rain at first then Sleat n snow right to the summit. Couldent see much views so I said I would be back again, hopefully in all her glory and see Wales for what it is😍fantastic adventure on the bike though so I mite ride instead of the walk😁👍🇬🇧fantastic video Rob, peace dude😁❤️👊stay safe🤪

Incredible as always thank you Rob and John for taking us along.

@timmersbc 2 года назад

I was relieved to see you put gloves on those oh-so-fragile hands when you were crossing the very rocky areas. When you started out without gloves, I was feeling uncomfortable for you. Still a gutsy move for you, without elbow or knee pads. You're a braver man than I'll ever be. Well done. Great video.

@SimplySimos 2 года назад

As ever a great video. John you are a fantastic camera man I love watching your films👏 Rob cracking commentary and you almost look professional with your riding skills and you are never short of a gadget or two love it. Best time to get up Snowdonia as couple of hour's later and the downhill would be a nightmare 😉. What I like about your short films after watching you just want to get out there. Keep it rolling you are both up there with the big boy's 👍🏻

@BurningChariot 2 года назад

Reapect for calling it it’s native/correct name on screen when you summited! I’m Welsh and had never summited there before. I bought an ebike last summer and decided it was time. I took it to Yr Wyddfa in August. It was hands down my best riding experience to date. Epic climb, super enjoyable on an ebike, and the Ranger path back down was amazing! So intense and tech in parts, loved it! I can’t wait to go back and do it again. We also got lucky and chose an incredible morning for it. Great video, Wales has so much to offer for bikes from North to South

@otterman7441 2 года назад

That my friend is an epic accomplishment! Surprised you chose the connected rock path when there was gravel adjacent which would have been much smoother. But being a septuagenarian, my tush does not like as many rigorous bumps as it used to. Well done - I hope you find other mountains on which to do the same.

@howardridge1153 Год назад

It's on my bucket list too 30 years later on than my initial climb, next time on fs cyc engined e-machine, i rode up from the Snowdon Ranger side and that's a much harder climb in 1990 on a rigid Kona Explosif with rim brakes, 1.5 hours approx to get to summit and 16 minutes to get down the (Pronounced) "Cllanberis" side completely out of control brake levers touching the bars full on and we were not slowing down and i lived to tell the tale.

@davidcauson7008 2 года назад

@sunsetseventytwo 2 года назад

Hi Rob & Jon. I saved this video specifically to watch on Sunday morning, over coffee whilst the ladies were still in bed. As someone hitting 50 this year with a history of challenges with my back and more recently family loss and dare I say some mental health challenges that have come with that, I see myself turning the corner and ready to find a challenge to focus on. This video, in all its cinematic beauty was exactly what I needed to see today, glorious, stunning and first class. Thanks. Quick question, you chose the Ranger path to descend over coming back via the llanberis, was there any particular reason to that? Cheers.

@RobRidesEMTB 2 года назад

Hey Dinos, definitely give it a go! Could go back down the Llanberis path, it is easier that way. We wanted to get some techy bike shots so decided on the Rangers on the way back down.

@rickbault1221 2 года назад

Fantastic video Rob! Did you ride the same route up as you rode down? If so it looks like some of it was pretty chunky terrain in the dark.

@petermartin3806 2 года назад

Great vid, and as always the filming, hours of editing bring it all together. People don’t see the time & effort setting up the shots or putting the drone up with active track, not a 30 second job. Don’t know if you can add in how much batt life & total time it was to,your audio overly?

@quitemountainous2528 2 года назад

When you say "used 1 bar" and then "used 2 bars" out of how many as a point of reference? I got Kiox on one bike (no bars involved) and Levo SL (10 bars), but this was not a Specialized, was it a Shimano motor?

@RobRidesEMTB 2 года назад

Good point! One bar on Shimano is 20% - so completely full is 5 bars 👍
