Loving all things MTB and having a good laugh along the way 🤙
Minton Batch LONG MYND *Full Run*
Probably the most well known and popular single-track descent at Long Mynd, Shropshire.
‘Minton Batch’ is a decent length run but does get pedally towards the last third as the gradient becomes more mellow if you want to maintain your speed 😆
Always fun but also always wet! 💦

World's End LLANGOLLEN Epic Ride!
Переглядів 2,6 тис.3 роки тому
Based on Jason's recommendation as well as Christian & Marc riding this loop recently, had to check out the crazy World's End single track descent especially as Llangollen is only an hour away for me. I was joined by Steve and we were blessed with glorious sunshine, stunning views throughout the ride 😎👌 The loop starts and finishes at the small road-side parking area off Trevor Quarry (Panorama...
What A Place To Ride! ONE GIANT LEAP Llangollen
Переглядів 1,8 тис.3 роки тому
First visit to 'One Giant Leap' which I've heard so many good things about and this place certainly did not disappoint! If you love steep, technical and challenging descents then this place has it by the bucket load 👌 Unfortunately uplift days haven't started again as yet so this was a self-pedal/push experience and the climb back to top is rather gruesome. We managed five runs in the end but a...
Shropshire Steeps STIPERSTONES & EASTRIDGE

Really nice to be back at Stiperstones as well as Eastridge but this time riding in glorious warm and sunny weather 😎👌 First run is down the 'Leaky Pants' ridge descent from Perkins Beach down towards the pub. Then headed back towards Eastridge to try 'The Steep One' for first time as wanted to find out just how steep and challenging it really is 😁 Finished the ride with a blast down Topography...
Bike Parks Open Again! FLYUP 417

Bike parks are finally open again! Nice to be back at FlyUp 417 which is one of the smaller uplift parks however still a really fun place and brilliant for jump progression 👍 Hooked up with the WilderFit boys who also had a cracking day (first time visit for this crazy lot). My rear derailleur decided to self-destruct early afternoon and after the shortened chain snapped off halfway down one of...

Hooked up with Rich (DronerUK) - a really experienced FPV drone pilot so we could shoot some awesome MTB footage on the big hill 😎👌 Rich's UA-cam channel: ua-cam.com/users/DronerUK
Take Me To Church HANCHURCH WOODS
Переглядів 1,3 тис.3 роки тому
My first visit to Hanchurch which is definitely a little gem of a place to ride and progress skills 👌 Has a good mix of trails with interesting features like drops and well built berms combined with really fun jump lines that one can session all day long! Great to get out with the lads and try somewhere different post lockdown 😎
Loose As You Like THE WREKIN
Переглядів 3363 роки тому
Couple of runs from the top hitting the steep and loose stuff with the lads 😎👌 Nice to hook up again with the man himself JC 😀 Check out his channel here: ua-cam.com/channels/XoZkSto0ssTWllWrF67KVg.html
Mohican & Old Downhill THE WREKIN
Переглядів 7443 роки тому
Recent dry trail conditions provided a good opportunity to go back to a couple of old favourites. 'Mohican' is the classic line most people tend to try for the first time on the big hill and 'Old Downhill' runs so much faster when the roots aren't so slippy 👌

Hitting some of the steep stuff and watching the sun go down before dropping into our second run down from the top 😎
More Steep Fun! THE WREKIN
Переглядів 5443 роки тому
Making the most of the recent dry weather! Fun, steep and loose downhill line on the 'steeper' side of the hill. Finished the ride with a blast down Limekiln Wood.
Southern Monkey THE WREKIN

Fancied giving 'Southern Monkey' another go since we've been blessed with some dry weather recently 😎 Steep and loose with an optional rock chute feature.
Bucket THE WREKIN

'Bucket' is a line that runs from near top to bottom which I've not done in full until recently however it's great fun and quite challenging in certain sections - has a bit of everything 👌
The Descent LIMEKILN WOOD

This one starts off pretty mellow but the terrain soon turns rocky with deep channels, loose rocks and fallen trees to watch out for as the speed picks up.

Well known line made more 'interesting' by the frozen ground combined with slippy roots!

Done Rock Chute this afternoon and it was totally sick! 😎
From where the scree is at stiperstones, how do you get to leaky pants? Is it off the other steep ridgeline with the rock roll at the bottom?
i pity the walkers
Nice vid. There's more to that trail that you mistout, thing is that last section to the quuary is new to me don't know where that is - yet. lol
I know this is quite an old one, but you don’t happen to have the gpx file for this one on strava do you? Really struggling to find a decent route round there, and I really don’t know the area well.
Is there a gox for this one ? It doesn't look like the same route we usually do from Llandegla.
Fantastic trails do you have a route, like on Strava
Nice video mate, shows off the trials real good! 🙌🏾
Yoooo Great video 🙏 Your first run down squirrel was actually sin of squirrel. We need more signs
That trails looks like a lot of fun and a big challenge for me
RIP Jimbo taken too soon, a genuine kind guy and the king of my local trails.. Ride high mate you will be missed x
Looks amazing, I know you can get here from 3 mile climb (one planet). Where would I park if I was to drive? Thanks ash.
Hello, my new friend. Wow, it's so cool and healing mountain biking 💛💗💙 video. It's an honor to be a friend of your great channel 💕💖❤. Have a comfortable day 🌺💝💗 👍👍👍🤙👌
Here you have a new sub. Regards from spain 👌

Hey JIMBO ! Cool video! love it :)
Hi Jimbo, do you have a strava GPX route for this ride, me and my son want to go this weekend, great video. cheers
Always enjoyed your videos, you were such a lovely genuine guy. Such sad news. RIP
Rest In Peace Jimbo, ✌ x
Such sad news. R.I.P. James. 🤝
RIP James, such sad sad news
RIP to our good friend and the most kind hearted person you could ever meet. It was an honour to ride along side you. Ride high in the sky mate. You will never be forgotten. 🤟🏼
Shocking news. Id never met Jimbo but he got in touch about a year ago asking questions about the Wrekin. I passed him onto JC and its been great to see them out riding together recently. RIP dude SHRED Heaven!🤙🏽👊🏽
This video just captures everything about you, you are missed so much!! RIP mate, I am so glad I met and rode with and fortunate enough to call you a friend 💔
Sad news, Ride in peace Jimbo
That looks a really good length decent! Cheers for sharing!
Such a nice bloke taken to early R I P dude hope you find some sweet trails to ride, will miss your videos
RIP James, You were taken far too soon! My Thoughts go out to all of your family and friends 💕
RIP Jimbo, will miss your videos :(
What tyre pressures do you run with the Magic Mary?
I’ve got tubeless setup so normally run 22 psi rear and 19 front if I want maximum grip. For bike parks or long rides with more rolling tend to go up to around 30/28 (F/R)
@@jimbomtb9560 Cheers👍
wow! I want to learn how to keep the momentum while riding on puddles. I enjoyed watching your vid!
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it 😀👍
I used to be so intimated by this trail, love it now, one of the most unique trails round these parts
Really is a belter and a good length of descent for a trail in Shropshire!
Nice one Jim, Minton Batch is a classic. Slightly over-hyped but still a lovely trail. And yep, always wet 👍
The trail in the valley looks fantastic, a bit wet but nice. Great work buddy, nice video. Ride on and have fun🤙
Thanks dude appreciate the support as always! 🙏🤘
Dryer than when i did it 😂 great descent, great vid mate 😃👍
lol I’m going to check out your vid 😆 Thanks mate! To be fair this is the ‘least wet’ out of the handful of times I’ve done this trail 🙏 But I was still soaked by end of the run 😂👌
@@jimbomtb9560 My run was probably in my top 3 of wettest descents ever 😂
@@HallMarc_Trails haha that’s saying something as I know you’ve been accustomed to shredding down rivers!! 🙈🤣🤣
@@jimbomtb9560 😂😂😂
Hopefully won't be too sodden this weekend mate
Fingers crossed won’t be too bad but there will always be certain amount of water on Minton Batch haha!! 😜🤘
So wet it was crazy . Well ridden mate 🙌
Cheers dude 👍 You would definitely enjoy this one! 🤘
@@jimbomtb9560 would love to ride more different stuff . Going to Stile Cop on Sunday normally 😝
@@HUSHHUSH- enjoy mate love Stile Cop! 😎🤘
@@jimbomtb9560 cheers buddy , apparently there are some revamped features there , can’t wait
@@HUSHHUSH- enjoy dude!! Big sends 😀🤘🤘
Looked a good fun trail, well maybe not the final part. So wet that was crazy, streams at times!!
haha another one that will be a belter on ⚡️ power as it starts to flatten out near bottom! Yeah it was pretty wet ok the ground still but I’ve done this trail in winter and when it’s full on raining it is really like riding a river 🙈😂🤘
@@jimbomtb9560 ride high my friend, cannot really communicate just how big a loss to our community you going has had 😪 Will miss your comments and general laughs in our DMs, I was very fortunate to meet you and ride The Wrekin with you. Keep shredding those clouds mate and will join you for another ride at some point 💙💔 god I miss you
Awesome Mate. 👍
When was that filmed jimbo , I rode it last Friday , finished on ridge 2 run , that was good
Middle of the week mate 👍 I’ve done Ridge 2 couple of times now... another great line 🤘 You should also try Cow Ridge opposite Ridge 2 it’s tougher IMO but good challenge!
@@jimbomtb9560 mmm never fancied that 1 Jimbo , bit above my pay grade 🤣🤣
@@adrianmcdonagh2820 lol it’s only that last part which is really crazy... I had to walk that section when I attempted it for first time end of last year 😜 Do fancy giving it another go soon! 🙈🤘
We all love Minton Batch! Great run Mate. 👍
Cheers mate! Such a fun descent... love it 😎
Nice to see you riding a trail I actually know! It was considerably wetter when I rode it though!!
Previous time I rode this was November last year and it was ‘wet wet’ 💦😜
Looks like you boys had the perfect day for it! Great vid Jim 🤙
Cheers dude 👍 Yep weather was definitely on our side for this ride 😎🙏
Nice video buddy and what a stunning place 😍 I went to the castle a few years back but this looks like a fun place to ride! 🤘😎
Thanks mate 😀 Yeah it’s been a while since I rode somewhere with such stunning scenery throughout the whole ride! Perfect weather as well sunny but not ‘too hot’ lol 😆
Glad you liked it mate, knew you would. It's XC Jim, but not as we know it 😂
lol thanks mate definitely a belter of a ride which I’ll be keen to try again 😀 I guess XC doesn’t usually involve falling off the side of a steep and very exposed slope?! 🙈😂
Nice trails man 👌👍👏
Cheers buddy so good!! 😎👍👍
Great riding and stunning scenes and countryside. People definitely need to move away from the safety net of the trail centres. 👍
Thanks mate 👍 Yes the thrill of hitting natural countryside trails especially for the first time is something you cannot beat! Now things have opened up I’ll definitely be venturing further afield as must try Peaks, Lakes alongside many places I still haven’t done in Wales 😆🤘
Fantastic video mate, glad you enjoyed it and lived to tell the tale haha, lucky escape for your mate, certain parts along there i don't think you stop till you were at the bottom, superb views, cracking trails, what a place to ride 😃👍
Thanks mate 😀👍 Yeah was an absolute belter of a ride! lol my mate was indeed lucky and although looked bad could have been a lot worse 🙈 The views as you say are something else and surprisingly, the area seems very quiet even from walkers... maybe we were lucky that day?! Look forward to going back there soon 🤘
Holy crap that looked scary! Glad he’s ok. Looks like an ace place too! Wicked vid.
Cheers buddy! Yeah really is an awesome place to ride and I’m sure you and the lads will love it 😎🤘
