i'm in a car with lawrence and we've got mountain bikes in the back we're on the way to sutton bank
a trail center that neither of us have tried before and we're gonna go meet nick
we haven't seen nick and ages so today we're aiming to do the paradise trail
which is listed as a red trail but i think it's more natural rather than single track
stuff the views and the scenery is apparently amazing there's a lake
i hate you
so we've lucked out today this is perfect weather we're 20 minutes into this ride and we are on
the top of the yorkshire moors like i said at the start of the video this trail center isn't really
a trail center it's all very natural a few gates to get through it's more of a cross-country
gravel style route you could definitely do it on a gravel bike uh but we're out today
haven't ridden the mountain bikes enough uh i've put a dropper on this since we last spoke
so nice opportunity to get to know this bike a bit more get used to the position and the
levers on the handlebars and stuff just have a good day bikes mate
one two three
so
how are you how's your head head's all right yeah i'm surprised so before uh
last night i'd show lawrence some of newcastle the big market in particular
yeah it's one of the highlights so it was a lot of interesting stuff going on there last night
people watching it's probably one of the best locations i've ever absolutely yeah newcastle
blew my mind last night you were saying you should set up a live stream and just uh people
just the sights that you see down that's right he's gonna lick my idea yeah it's a good idea
cool
is
i have to say this is exactly what i needed regular viewers
of this channel will know that i've been a bit unwell the last few days
haven't been enjoying the bike and i'm sure a lot of you will have experienced the same thing
when cycling is your thing and suddenly you can't do it anymore it has a big effect
on your head never deal with being ill very well at all now though i'm in the best mood ever
so i think it's fair to say we are we have all been pleasantly surprised
so far on this route i was ready to be disappointed after reading online that it's not
really mountain bike trails but this day has just got better and better some of the stuff
back there was quite technical i think you'd have a great time as long as you didn't turn up with
like a really heavy enduro bike for cross-country stuff sutton bank paradise trail impressed
so here's the new slash old dropper post this is a 31.6 diameter seat collar but a 27.2
dropper post because that's what i had for my old bike and we put a shim in so i could use
it and i thought it would look really weird it actually looks fine it looks really weird mate ah
have i got a pump no have all three of us come out with no pump
yeah i mean i purposely didn't because i thought one of you two have one yeah same it's all right
i'm just sad for nick who's punching we're not very good cyclists are we
no no we all just assume that each other have stuff you know i make videos sometimes
which are like top 10 things every cyclist should definitely always take on a ride
yes yeah i should listen i should watch those you should watch them
it's madness i want to bring some people here show them how how awesome it is there's not many like
uh roots like this like trails where you have a bit of everything like this yeah and especially
we've got i mean we've got the nice day of the year basically it feels like 20 degrees madness
yeah how was your ride yeah really good actually really really good great ride and um yeah nothing
went wrong now i had everything i needed to ride the bike really what's that noise what do you mean
it's a weird noise oh [ __ ] i've got a puncture all right i'm so close to uh so close to the car
park now yeah wait it's like two minutes oh yeah i mean good timing i don't even notice to be honest
do i dare look at this i very trustingly oh it's wrecked my lovely new camera how
much you can do though is there he got the shot i'm sure i got the shot so some of the
rearward facing footage in today's episode has been from this the insta360 one rs and we put
it on the back of lawrence's bike and i had it in 6k well it's just got all the pixels isn't it so
let us know what you thought of that footage in the comment section down below it may have
immediately got mud sprayed on it but that's just the nature of mountain biking i've made myself ill
again i need to stop riding my bike that's the problem as usual with this there's an affiliate
link down in the description down below so if you want to buy one of these use the link and
i'll learn a very small portion of revenue i feel as if this camera will never be the same laurence
check out the aftermath of this this is a behind the scenes look
from yesterday's video which was cutting up bike locks this is how the diamond secure lock
stood up to seven angle grinder discs i think they're your standard like metal discs not diamond
ones we didn't really get that far through and bear in mind if you do cut one of these you've
got to do two cuts to actually get the bike stolen so yeah i'll probably just keep using this lock
thanks for watching stay tuned for more videos this week where i'll be avoiding riding my bike
ain't as gracious
