How to ride any MTB trail for the first time!
In this video, I attempt to share How to ride any trail for the first time, and the trail of choice is the infamous A470 line at Bike Park Wales and its challenging/qualifying feature, using my PRE-RIDE RE-RIDE FREE-RIDE method, which starts so well with a not-so-great ending, was this trail above my ability? Am I punching above my weight? Or is this the trail progression I'd been looking for?

      @UPHILLPHILL 14 днів тому

      Sadly, on this visit, I ran out of time to get fully acquainted with Zut Alors but looking at it briefly, the gaps look similar if slightly larger but quite doable provided the right trail speed is met, I reckon it’s more about achieving a flow state so that’ll be the challenge for my next visit 👌. Cheers for watching 🤜🤛

      @UPHILLPHILL 20 днів тому

      Good question and one I’ve been asked before. Simply put, personally, I don’t need an EMTB yet and I am planning my next bike being one👌. I wanted a bike that fitted all my riding requirements (and there were lots!) that no EMTB could fulfil for the cost. Yes, I could have got an EMTB for the same/similar price but it would have been a compromise and so a waste of time and money for me. This satisfies every single requirement and more and when I have the available funds, an EMTB will be looked into. Thanks for watching and for your comment 👍

  • @rascott1970
    @rascott1970 22 дні тому

    Interesting bit on the flat feet in berms( I assume level In relation to the wall of the berm?) I was told by another well known coach to drop the outside foot in a berm. I do that to this day although I’m aware the standard advice is level feet so now it’s more of a weighting rather than fully dropped. It also depends on the angle of the berm. A shallow berm will need more of a dropped outside foot. Good video!

    • @UPHILLPHILL
      @UPHILLPHILL 20 днів тому

      Hey, I fully agree as I was told similar advice and as you say, going level or dropping the outside foot is totally dependent on many different factors like entry speed, type/shape/tightness and material types of the berms the list goes on! But for me personally, staying flat with the feet/cranks made a night/day difference in the fast/banked type berms we were practicing with. Thanks for watching and commenting 🤜🤛👍

      Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, the X1 is only capable of a maximum speed of 15mph, so it doesn’t do “fast”. My aim for this video was to capture my first owner experience with this amazing flying camera. I did not purchase it for speed, instead, it fulfilled my requirements for alternative angles and perspectives of the trails rather than just POV. Your request, however, will be satisfied as I have just received the upgraded version so watch this space 😉👍.

      Hey there 👋. The cost will largely depend on where you are located, in the UK it’s currently £395 on Amazon.

      @UPHILLPHILL Місяць тому

      Hi 👋. I’m based in the UK but I think the rules are different with regard to the weight of the device being under 250g which requires a basic operating licence but I’d recommend checking it out for your area to be completely safe. This is device also quite different with regard to the fact that it is classed as an autonomous flying camera that has a very close operating range to its user/point of origin, very different to the capabilities of a DJI for example. Thanks for watching and for your comment 👍

  • @stevenparker4378
    @stevenparker4378 Місяць тому

    Mate has one of these. I tried it out and thought it was a great piece of kit, and then i tried the DJI Neo! Longer flight times, better in stronger winds and the tracking is superb. The fact that i can use the phone as an audio source without the rotor noise, and my mini 4 pro controller to fly it is the icing on the cake.

    • @UPHILLPHILL
      @UPHILLPHILL Місяць тому

      I’d agree that the Neo definitely has advantages over the X1 but the X1 also has the voice capture feature via phone and I use a Bluetooth mic connected to my iPhone so I don’t have to hold it, which works a treat. The Neo kinda sits in the middle of the X1 and the X1 ProMAX (soon to be available). Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated 🤜🤛.

    Thanks Phil very helpful. I’m looking to get my first bike computer for rides like this. Do you rate the edge 530?

    • @UPHILLPHILL
      @UPHILLPHILL 2 місяці тому

      Absolutely love it. I took a gamble on Amazon as it was on a deal and I’m blown away with it tbh. Once you have a grasp on how it works you’ll be glad you bought it. The 830 is basically the same only touch screen but as I ride in the UK and all the weather throws at me, I decided to opt for the hassle of button pressing + it was cheaper 👌. I’ve put a link in the description to the Amazon page where I purchased mine. Good luck and thanks for watching 🤜🤛

    Used to come here all the time as a teenager, now in my 30s and went back last year with my lad and his school and I had forgotten how steep the climbs were 😂, fair play to you for getting up them on a normal bike!

      As it’s not a bike park, they don't really close unless they are conducting forestry work. My visit was a couple of months ago now so it’s worth connecting with a local Afan group possibly on facebook for up to date info. Cheers for watching 🤜🤛

    Great content Phil i live a mile away from the trails in Rogerstone usually use the canal to get them. If you stay on the fire track road you can get to Twmbarlm and ride across the top of the mountain to Cwmbran were i was brought up, we are literally spoilt for trails in Wales which are beautiful and thats coming from a roadie but im finding mtb more enjoyable.

    Such a lovely, and also FANTASTIC video again, Phil. 🤩 You are producing great content that shares a real mountain biking experiences. This is especially true with you showing the “Push-up” a real consequence of MTB, 😊 sheep on the trails, (you can’t park there) 😉 and that as skilled as you are, you still show some “Whoopsie-Daisey” moments and some occasional “Wibbly-Wobbly” ones. 🙌🏼 I even LOVE you showing the scenery, as that’s also a reality, yes, we love to ride and descend, but taking time to appreciate our surroundings is also just as special and part of the ride. 😊 Such a BRILLIANT 🤩video as it even shows that with great experience and skill as you have, these things can happen. That’s what makes your content so relatable. 🤜🏼🤛🏼 Thank you for another great video, and Happy Trails, Good Sir! 🤙🏼

I'm also a solo camper and I watched x5 F15 Eagles and x3 F35's doing multiple circuits of the Mach loop from the vantage point of Dyfi Mountain bike park in Pantperthog. Such an epic location for so many activities! Hope you have a fantastic time at the ⛺️site and the Mach loop 🛩.

    Oh yeah. This bike does rip. To be honest it’s not flickable as a smaller travel and shorter angle head tube bike would be. I ride in Northern California and it took me a while to get used to the geometry of this bike. It is more aligned to true downhill trails. But, with some practice it is exceptional on tighter trails. As Evil describes it, it is a bike park bike. Having owned a true DH bike, I would say that this is a bike that can handle both enduro and downhill trails. I, in fact use mine as more of a trail and enduro bike

    • @Rocketeerperformance
      @Rocketeerperformance 3 місяці тому

      I would also add that this bike climbs like a non suspension bike. And, the rear suspension has an unlimited feel. It is amazing.
