CAUGHT IN A THUNDERSTORM ??? WILD EMTB RIDE AT BARRY SIDINGS
What a wild Sunday of riding at Barry Sidings, South Wales! The day started out dry and dusty but we got caught in a big thunderstorm. This place isn't best suited to beginners but if you are a fairly competent mountain bike rider it has some fantastic trails to offer. It's situated in Pontypridd, South Wales, not far from the A470, and even has it's own café (which do really good burgers). The trails have a great variety of rooty, rocky and slippery trails and some of them get very steep!
We had a great day and nobody got hurt, but there were a few near misses! Forgot how good it is over there!

    • @HopkinsBros
      @HopkinsBros 5 місяців тому

      That's the way! MV is a good place to learn. It's rare you'll get a whole line perfect, so don't stress if you land a couple of jumps weird. Just try and stay relaxed and it'll come with practice. Weirdly you don't have to pull or lean as much on the big stuff as the lips are so tall. It's usually the smaller jumps that require a pop!

    • @HopkinsBros
      @HopkinsBros 5 місяців тому

      Pretty easy to find if you know the general location. There are often a few riders about who you can ask for the jump line location. There were a few trail builders, but Leon Margerison, Rex Aitken, Chris Smith are three of the main builders. I’m sure they won’t mind if you hit them up on Instagram and ask. :)

    This is a great video, appreciate including all the attempts of Full Moto. We are going from ireland in may and hoping to hit full moto, would be great to get those conditions. looks like that second jump after the double is a bit bucky. any tips for the line in general? Just pull up like fuck?! lol big up on the video, its sick!

    • @HopkinsBros
      @HopkinsBros 7 місяців тому

      Hit it as fast as you can, when you’re running in to it from the berm, you have to be fully brakeless. You are going so fast, you should just need to stay neutral on the bike. Do not pull up hard 😂. You will die. First time I hit it, pulled on the tunnel jump and completely overshot the landing. The fourth jump is quite kicky now so just stay relaxed on it, just don’t lean forward or back too much, and don’t brake in the air, you will dive
