BPW Rim Dinger | BPW Rim Dinger first time | Bike Park Wales Rim Dinger | #mtb #downhill #bpw
Hello, you absolute LEGENDS of MTB. 🙌🏼
Today I am sharing a first for me in a long time, a Pre-Ride, and more incredibly it is me doing the Pre-Ride in front of Tom, checking the features and shouting them out to him as we explore the top section of Rim Dinger at Bike Park Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
I also share a little treat as Norkle to the Uplift was closed, so we took Kermit’s last section to the Uplift. I have not ridden this since my first time at the park in 2023, and what an absolute delight this section is. 😊
From here we explore the Rim Dinger qualifier, and I lead us down the top section for the 1st time EVER with Tom, 🥹 who always leads as he is a much better ride with so much more experience than me. Rest assured all will be revealed why in the coming weeks, my friends.
At the end of this video of my diary, as I continue to learn how to ride a bike a little later in life than most, I hope to share content coming soon, as stories unfold of my experiences.
You are all, truly AWESOME 🤩 Thank you, my friends. 🙏🏼

I have so much yet to learn after starting MTB last year and I am now getting more time in the saddle than when I started. I am still learning how to ride and practising the basics after my recent and brilliant 1:1 coaching session, and I cannot tell you how much of a difference this has made in my confidence and hopefully my competence on the bike.
Along with learning the basics of MTB, I am learning how to edit and create videos for my family and friends to enjoy and for anyone who has a similar interest in this wonderful and amazing hobby. I also feel that this is particularly true if you are new to MTB, learning from coaching sessions, and especially if you started a little later in life, where we don’t bounce anymore, we tend to snap, crackle and pop. 😉
If, like me you are new to MTB, learning from coaching sessions, and especially if you started a little later in life, where we don’t bounce anymore, we tend to snap, crackle and pop. 😉 Also, If you have ever experienced a crash ❤️‍🩹 and were a little nervous about getting back on the bike, please let me know your experience in the comments, and I would love to respond.
As always, this is Jason the Muppet wishing you absolute LEGENDS Happy Trails. 😊

    Hey buddie, great video! Did you record this before or after the wrist injury? If it was after, fair play to cracking on with a gammy wrist! I kinda fancy that next time I go, looks easier than Coal Not Dole, although I have unfinished business there! Have you tried any red/black blends yet, like ACDC? Well worth a look, again it's a trail I want to revisit. I wish I lived closer so I could go more often and session some of the trails for a while morning. Keep up the great work buddie!❤❤❤

Although it was made on an old Chinese go-pro imitation camera that was pretty shakey at best!

    I took my wife to session the shark fin into drops at corkscrew. As a post-partal, slightly overweight, curvy MTB rider, I made sure she committed to the far left line, which you managed to do eventually. The key to the drop is to aim for the centre of the slab, since you have the best clearance for your bottom bracket at that point. Technique-wise, you're better off applying a commited drop technique with your feet sweeping the bike in front of you to get the BB clear. You can straighten your bike up on landing so that you can have a straighter line on the drop. When I was coaching the wife, a lot of the mistakes were done out of hesitation and lack of commitment to the roots. You'll have a surprising amount of grip once you're rear wheel is clear of the V-fan on the root to be able to slingshot you into the shark fin. It's better to hit the drop and carry the momentum than it is to put last minute steering corrections to avoid the drop, because you'll be losing traction at a critical moment. Wife did an edit of me on corkscrew, with my intention of showing her that you can absolutely hit all the features slowly and safely. It's a great track for progression. ua-cam.com/users/shortstgBZzNDWdnU?si=ZBq3L5eNhEKLFMsV

    I found this video super entertaining! A little tip for jumping is that I noticed that when you jump you tend to stay very low down and in a contained body position, so what I would recommend to help you clear some of those jumps is to extend your legs and arms as you take off to get the momentum you need to clear the jumps. Focus mainly on getting more confident as you ride but don't rely on speed (although do try and maintain or even get faster as you go down a trail) to get you over the jumps too much as with other jumps at windhill they require more "know how" to be able to jump and successfully clear them. Great progress on jumping though, you should be very proud of yourself! :)
