hey jimmy hello first mountain bike trail ever we technically didn't want to get here another one i
nearly didn't make it it was attacking me and then it's gone to you so i feel better it's because
you're wearing a little you're dressed as a flower so today's video here at hamsterly first mountain
bike ride ever for jimmy we're just going to ride some trails take it easy it's raining a little bit
not ideal conditions not no because it's slightly wet yeah but it'll like it'll give it you'll have
you'll have traction rather it'd be a bit wet than to really dry that's the attitude personally yeah
please don't crash and break my bike because you're borrowing it and we'll have a great day
i don't take any uh responsibility for the condition of your work now or after or during
so i got closer i saw that i was like oh no no
dude
remember when you went to walton towers and i didn't come because i hate roller coasters yeah
it's like a roller coaster but you're responsible
yeah whereas like on a roller coaster at least you have like you know it's staying on a track
whereas that you're you have to keep yourself on the track otherwise you'd fall off the edge
now but you don't know it's staying on the track with this you are in you're in control it's your
fault if it goes wrong i thought i feel much happier yeah yeah yeah you were in control
you were rolling all of those that's the worst bit that's the worst bit all day is it really yeah
i can see like you only need to do that a few times to be like oh okay this is what happens yeah
don't forget i know the trouble well that's that's the thing as well isn't it like once you
riding the same stuff over and over you just know which bits to hit on you yeah and then you just
do it it's like playing like playing um um a car game like a racing game on a playstation like a
console isn't it yeah you like you know you learn the courses you learn the corners you know how to
practice how to take the corners and then you come first every time so i wanted to
take the opportunity in today's video to announce something quite exciting i know some of you guys
might have guessed already but garmin are going to be a sponsor of this youtube channel which
means when you see the following things in my videos heard the unit power meters smart watches
backlights including this back one which um tells you when a car is coming up behind you light up
turbo trainers and other indoor training equipment they've been supplied to me by
garmin basically the guys at the garmin offices have been watching this channel for a couple of
years and they help me out with a power meter which you may remember from previous episodes
when i started training for all these mountain bike races a few months ago we ended up chatting
and discussing longer term partnerships and they have officially as of today become a sponsor as
you can imagine that's quite a big deal for me and my little youtube channel companies coming along
and offering their support in this kind of way makes a huge difference and means i can carry on
doing what i'm doing with even more opportunity probably should have chosen to chat about this
while not riding up a big gravel track this is one of the hardest rides i've done in my life
not only does this partnership mean access to the whole ecosystem of products that garmin do
but also now the world is unlocking there'll be access to events and stuff through the year too so
i'm very excited to see what's coming naturally all of the things that garmin and tax produce
are heavily used by cyclists so it's all really really relevant to the channel and i'm confident
it will fit in seamlessly with all the content i'm already producing i don't understand how the
elevation is so insane we've been riding nearly an hour we've done 300 meters of timing and not
even seven kilometers and i feel like most of the time we've been going downhill this is literally
the hardest ride i've ever done in my life we'll get to the end and we'll look at our stats and it
will genuinely be seven mile an hour average that's just how it is these are good watches
it's like i'm borrowing your bike i wanted to have an idea of what i'm doing ultimately so i know if
i'm cooking myself too hard which the answer is yes i don't even know where my bike computer is
picked the mountain bike options you know there's like run road ride gravel all that
kind of stuff i picked the mountain bike as an option and it's specifically given me distant
current elevation oh 250 meters above sea level
yeah it does feel a bit thin no wonder you're so fit you've been doing all this attitude
that was the best one yes everyone says that that's what lauren said it's definitely
intimidating doing it for the first time yeah but like i reckon even the second time
you'd like half the half how long it takes to get down it but i can also see how easy it would be to
get become overconfident never thought i'd say it because first time i used a dropper really
struggled with it it's just weird not having the saddle to like lean on and stuff but now
i barely ride without it this bike hasn't got one on it's a struggle dropping is amazing yeah
so
boy i think tony does it wrong what do you mean well like much like those all those lads over
there i think the way to mountain bike is just to like do everything slowly apart from when you're
going downhill rather than like riding hard in between everything or everywhere you should get
tony out with me and i'll teach i'll teach him a lesson your teacher okay i'll teach him how
to chill good luck so very very impressed with jimmy that was a wicked ride i think he did very
well considering that was his first time on the mountain bike a big shout out and thanks to garmin
