My pronouns are im/shit but theyre not in my email. Ill let you know when i return to this trail with all the excitement that I return to your mum with hahaaaa

Definitely on the list this summer to tick it off! Shouldnt be much trouble by now i wouldnt think. But does it ever really dry down there? haha

@@drTeddyJo thank you! Definitely been working on it and a bit of help from Bryn has done wonders. Just gotta keep trying to get higher and stop bending me bloody knees haha. Cheers!

Thanks bro! Probably Vertigo next, well overdue to go get that done. Cheers for watching!

Subtle way of saying "you sure went slow" q8D not that I could do any better... (tho I did manage to ride all but the tiny drop on my wee 26" wheels (including a run on my 20+yo Foes and an awful run on a hard tail with Y-Brake front and RST 3" forks...) Last time I rode it I could have done the drop but somehow side stepped it, and couldn't b bothered going back. I even filmed a run on the 'Faith' in light drizzle. the top was surprisingly grippy in the wet.

@TheButlerNZ it was definitely slow, no denying that 🤣

@@tbc_mtb Enjoy Vertigo.. I love it.. also think I filmed my run in light drizzle... I've done all but the set of steps with a 90deg right at the bottom of them either just before or just after the spiral... before I think... I even did it on the Ybrake Barracuda but didn't do the spiral with it.

@@TheButlerNZ sick, cheers mate. Have checked it out twice now I think. Done it all bar the A-Line chute, hoping ridgeline will give us a good confidence boost. Should be good times. Slow, but good times.

@@tomlegat-parker5139 yeah, grade 3 blue I think. Super fun though.

lol thanks mate, not exactly much competion here though...

@@adriangeee old bro, man it's crazy looking back on this and how much slower I was.

@@mrpunt lmao, fuck that was dicey eh. Sketchy caaaaaarnt. #NoSteeze

@@mrpunt ripper day 🍻

my man, cheers heaps dawg. means a lot! chur! well get some laps in one day. youll murder me on the climbs lol, be interesting to see the difference on the downs tho...

Bryn is such a g

@@Pozitivi getting there, little by little. Cheers bro 🤙

@@tbc_mtb 🤙🤙

@@TheMaoriThatBikes hahaha 🤣 clown show

cheers my g! man so keen to ride bikes with you one day.

@@drTeddyJo haha, absolutely not. I got the loser cruiser back into town and found beers. Good times.

@@tbc_mtb nice :)

@@mistertroyNZ cheers bro! Little by little eh. Just wanna clear them all haha, bit of work to go but will happen eventally. I hate being old now, everything's scary 🤣 fuck I love riding tho, best thing I've ever gotten into. Chur!

Shes a good time mayne! 👌

Slowly but surely... thanks cogroy!

it aint much, but its honest work. haha thanks bro. is that just the meme comment now? lmao. really gotta get off the brakes eh....

My man! Hope you're good G!

Slow operator 🤣

@@tbc_mtb Slow operator that can still count all appendages attached at the end that were attached at the beginning... a plus in anyone's book in that weather. Starfish can be 'fun' when wet... A few years ago (circa 2018) i went down it on a hard tail with RST 3" forks, Vee brakes and fairly Kojack tyres... Got to the triple (6:35) and by the 2nd drop I fairly well managed a front slide of about 2m with the wheel 30deg to the right before it tucked and sent me on a barrel roll... I switched to the ol Foes after that and loved it so much, bought the Giant Faith and took up DH as a serious hobby.. at 50... I really need to service my rear shock and go for a ride... I've been throwing so much plastic at trees I haven't been up the mount for a year...

Thank you sir! 👊 one day we'll link up for a shred, either side of the tasman, doesn't bother me! Chur!

For me it's totally worth it, have come to enjoy and embrace the suffering and climbing as I want to get fitter, do the mahi - get the treats as they say. Plus being over that side of the hill always feels like more of an adventure like you're in the middle of nowhere. Definitely need to hit this more, and get it way faster since it's so much fun down there! Cheers! Matey with me hadn't been down those ways before either so to hear he was grinning from ear to ear, especially the latter 3rd made it even better!

@@tbc_mtb I've been over 'That side of the hill' for about 15 years. 🙂 I love the Nikau Valley (Ans Super Kanuka) too but all require a level of energy my batteries haven't been able to store for the last couple of years (and i don't ride an E)

Chur the bro 🤘❤️

Thanks brother!

Yeah you might be right, haven't noticed it on youtube and fortunately this platform isn't an accurate representation of the population as I've been seeing loads of people out riding lately, it's been mint conditions! Was really busy up mt vic the day I filmed this video. Love to see it.

im kinda hoping my brakes keep sounding like shit - then ill use them less and therefore stop being a slow kook. 😂

I thought he was just honking at that rider up front to get out of the way... q8)

@@TheButlerNZ 😆

@@tbc_mtb He was holding you back... Honest.

@@TheButlerNZ yes, absolutely nothing to do with the landmine field of janky roots on groms... 😆 I debated to leave that footage in but maybe someone will get a good laugh out of how utterly shit I am..

Oh nice, say hi next time! Been riding up there a lot lately, its all running so mint!

@@tbc_mtb yes for sure . I have been focusing on gravel riding lately but what’s your Strava and I can add you for riding ideas etc ? Im always looking for new routes

@@drTeddyJo I don't really use strava. My insta is in my bio on here if you want that.

​@@drTeddyJoalso, was it you or your husband that reccomended Deliverance to me? I'm due a second run down that soon now im just breaking into the grade 5 tracks. Be mean to tick that one off!

Thanks bro 👊

@@tbc_mtb 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🚴‍♂️🤘

@@Pozitivi just need to get faster and suss out better lines but we getting there. Thanks again bro.

So much fun bro! Gonna be great to get better and better at jumping 🤘

Yeah boy!

On the list for sure, esp deliverance. Need to go back and tick off vertigo properly and redeem myself here and on live wires. Cheers!

@@tbc_mtb yeah def give deliverance a go. It is pretty fun. Some cool stream crossings and features on it.

Lol, oops. Sorry Simon. I thought I'd slowed down enough. 🙈

Love it up there eh! Got some unfinished business on rollercoaster and really wanna get solid on serendipity! Sick trails 🤘

Cheers bro, all good, defo got some bruised ribs and a bruised ego after that, didn't have it in me to hit up Serendipity though. Have done car parts a few times but usually can't be bothered going all the way up there. Where do I find barking emu and red rocks loop? Cheers mate!

@@tbc_mtb fair enough . You did well to do Ikigai after that. So car parts extension is different from car parts , if you look at trail forks, you start from the top but then go to the right instead of turning left to car parts. Then from car parts extension, you can do barking emu and then red rocks. It makes an epic adventure . Trail atlas has a video of it .

@@tbc_mtb there’s also spooky gully which is fun .

@@drTeddyJo awesome, that sounds epic! Next time I'm on the bike I'll have a hoon at that. Cheers for the info bro! Adrenaline got me down ikigai, then the pain kicked in. Was a sorry sack of shit walking back home to kelburn haha.

@@TheButlerNZ thanks for the tips. Am planning to try out radome then the waipapa loop like you suggested and then maybe the ribs route on another day. Felt pretty tired after doing it on the normal bike. So much exploring to do!
