Hebden Bridge Killed My Shock

  • I feel like I should explain this video a little. It was filmed back in September the same day I had filmed my Hebden Bridge street riding video and I was totally and utterly exhausted...that's why it's a little different from normal, I didn't have the energy the remove my camera to talk to you like I normally do and is possibly the first video I've done where you never actually see my face!
    As such I felt like it's not quite up to my usual quality and instead of uploading it like normal, I held onto it for a rainy day as I feel despite being a bit rushed, it's still better than no video...(apologies to Matt and Chris for relegating your appearances into a rainy day video!)
    This month (November) I'm extremely busy building wheels for Inspired for their latest range and I also went on holiday with Jane, I simply haven't had the time to get out and film (I do have some cool videos planned though).
    As for the content of this video, despite growing up in Hebden and living there for 20+ years I never really did much mountainbiking. Matt is one of my oldest friends who I grew up riding trials with and he's now big into MTB so invited me out to try some local trails.
    Hebden is a very steep sided valley and also quite rocky...turns out it was the final straw for my rear shock which failed mid way through the ride (it has coped with a few months of Danny's riding then a full year of me abusing it including two trips to the Alps with no services!
    Hebden has some great steep technical trails and I only got to test a sample...I'll be back with a working bike ASAP as these trails are my cup of tea :)
    Thanks for watching!

      @@beatbox9985 My understanding is that the lockout restricts the flow of oil inside the damper, separate from the coil or air spring. I guess it would depend what had failed.

    Beautiful countryside with nice single track and canopy to create a feeling of riding through tunnels. The only thing that reminds me of where I ride is the rocks and drops. Where I live in southern Utah, most of the mtb trails are on Federal Government owned lands. Who owns the land where you ride?

    • @Ali_Clarkson
      @Ali_Clarkson  3 роки тому

      Thank you :)
      In England most land is privately owned and could be government land, private individual or business. Most Scottish trails are on forestry business lands and often get permission but there are plenty of illegal trails too. Hebden is a little bit of a grey area as I don’t think they are “legal” as such but are well known to exist.
      In Scotland we have the benefit of the “right to roam” which means we are allowed to explore freely on non-motorized (ie motorbikes are not allowed but Ebikes are so far ok), obviously of its private land and fenced off or blatantly someone’s garden then you can’t go there

      you’re assuming I’ve not been down the same path. This isn’t a competition but I too used to ride a fully rigid bike that was far too big for me with a 130mm stem, bars as narrow as my head and canti brakes, I did a years worth of trials competitions on that bike in the late 90s and also took it into the local woods and rattled my eyes loose. I wasn’t blaming my tools, I carried on riding when others would’ve gone home, I just stated the ride was harsh (which it was) due to the blown shock.
