TOIT Darren!! Place looked like a good laugh. Really nice trails and a lot of them... The UK does do a really good job of maximizing ZERO elevation... And you're right about that being a solid example of just that... Also... Good job on getting this out while still on the trip mate!
So cool Darren, it's great to see the first impressions and trails from your road trip. Those trails were fantastic, I'm a little bit hooked. Great riding and amazing shots. Looking forward to seeing more shots and trails. Take care and see you soon mate. Ride on and enjoy your time in GB
You missed the big drop at @4:56 and you’ll be glad you did when you see it!! Definitely an ebike place, pushed my downhill and enduro bikes up the shortest but steepest route back up, absolute killer!!
I bet you will.. lol. It’s not even that big, it just looks like you can see the edge so you start shifting back but there’s an extra little slope to roll down. Messes your timing right up! I think I used 198mm of travel on my first go! 🤣
As you said a great spot for your 1st ride before going to revolution…. Not that I’ve been but riding through the cleared Forrest looked weird …. Looking fwd to the next vid 🤙🏼
nice vid. I live only 7 miles from Hopton but only went there to ride for the first time on Tuesday as I acquired a EMTB on Monday. Blew my head TBH, both bike and trails, mind not ridden an MTB for 15 years!! Luckily I appear to have at least retained some muscle memory and technique from riding my gravel bike. Phew!!
Thanks David. It's a cracking spot, which I'm sure be able to get plenty of practice on if you live nice and close by. Some local knowledge will certainly pay dividends on those trails.
Nice video bro. What great trails. Well ridden, even considering you didn't know them and didn't know what to expect. Very, very well. So many trees cut down throughout the video. Do loggers in England leave the trails clean after cutting down the surrounding trees? Here in Portugal they leave everything dirty with leaves and broken branches. It's so sad...
Great video mate, Hopton's such a fantastic place. So weird seeing the top section without any trees (a while since I went) but great to see the trails either haven't been destroyed by the logging or have been put back in pretty quickly. Pearce Cycles do uplift days and races there 👍
Oh trails look really good! 😃👍 great video, nice trail tracking there! Some true trail tracking actually, as I see you were riding by yourself... although it is a bit weird not seeing ck mtb riding in front of you, haha! 😄 Btw from jamies comment I gather you're going into Scottish territory as well and meet up with Jamie? Nice! 👍
Hey Darren, would we meet you on the Grischa Trail Ride Davos-Lenzerheide-Arosa? We will be there, thought this might be something for you. Still places available! :)
