Not gonna lie… lots of things scare me (mostly in a healthy way) in this sport I took up a year and a half ago, but the speed and size of air in park jumps is next level. I think I’m too old to ever put achieving this on my wish list. But it looks amazing!
The hardest part about jumping is crashing. take it one step at a time and who knows where you'll end up! just don't listen to anyone who tells you to "lean back to prevent nose dive"
Man bike Park jumps are both the scariest and most rewarding. High speed but also they're made incredibly well. Just focus on technique on smaller jumps then the big ones will follow. Or a good place to get lots of practice is the local bmx track. Great for honing jumping skills
Man, I'm 43 years old and I used to mess around on a BMX a long time ago but I haven't hit anything big on a mountain bike like this stuff but it looks so fun. ...I just can't wait to get up to the skill level and location...
Yeah the perspective is way better for a sense and feeling of the trails. I thought it was way better footage then a gopro. Sound and image quality suffers though. Another year or 2 of development I could see it being the next camera to use for all footage.
Well, awesome, fellow YT Mtbers meeting up and having a go at a revamped trail! I would say that's a Good Monday, right there! Nic, I am not at your skill level, but I can relate to your approaches to new features. Not always a "send it" the first go round. Definitely seeing your comfort level with the Knolly increasing with each vid. Hope it continues to serve you well.
Pretty awesome😎🤙🤙 Indeed a lot of sharkfins haha! I think i gonna use your vid for inspiration to build one ourselfs over here in the Dutch flatland. Thanks for the great overview😁👌
Great video! New Coastal Cruise looks pretty gnarly with all those big shark fins. Also, wondering if you've got some oil contamination on your brake pads/rotors. Was surprised they were making so much noise even in the relative dry.
@@VanCan I guess it must depend on the brand? I've never had consistent noise with Shimano metallic pads. I have, however, had those exact same sounds with contaminated pads and rotors. 😓
Dude, those are some big freaking jumps! That place looks sick as hell! You ride the BEST shit out there, you lucky bastard. I am super jealous. Super super jealous.
Wow what a place so envious of the places yall get to ride im saving up one day it will be me too lol. really love the perspective of the 360 not as zoomed in and a lot more like human vision tho they could work on the quality of their video and audio sounds muffled
@@VanCan I've come to a similar state of mind regarding my bikes. I sold everything except my Kavenz VHP16 and my dirt jumper. I realized I much prefer having that one main bike that I come to know like an extension of my body compared to having several bikes which all ride and feel a bit different.
@@JaggedTusk yes agree. it’s the reason I asked, much as I loved my DH bike, I didn’t ride it much and not at all in the covid 19 lock down (travel ban in U.K.). My sentinel can do most of the things my DH bike could do.👍
Those XT Brakes sound pretty annoying. Currently having the same issue with them and the noise doesn't go away even with new brake pads it always keeps coming back. Any advice on how to fix that?
Awesome video BRO this place looks awesome and that pro line looks awesome go big or go home springs to mind I suppose the lawyers office will be pretty busy as well for those cases lol
@@VanCan If it looks crazy on youtube its way to big for regular riders....skate boarding did the same thing with skate parks in the 90's. the pools and pipes got more and more crazy until no one but the pros could ride them. Then the mid level riders that could not ride the "cool" stuff gave up and stopped going to the parks and took up street riding....soon you just had 4 or 5 people that would show up at the park.....bike parks are doing the same thing. the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Not gonna lie that main line didn’t look like it was built that well. With the rollers being too short and corners being too tight and not being able to carry enough speed
