Came here myself a few months back, i also used a chin cam and it looks great, don't worry about the breathing, it shows your human haha, great trails and was very quiet, pretty much had the place to ourselves, definitely will be coming back here, great vid :)
Hiya, great video 👍 My lad and I are fairly familiar with the red loop of Hopton but wondered if its worth linking up Bucknell as you mention in this video (I know where abouts the decision point is from your video). We normally do 2 loops of the red but interested in adding to the fun and tryingsomethingdifferent, do you have any tips or advice on linking up the 2 woods? Currently finishing a new years break at Hopton heath with bikes in tow🙂 Thanks regards Tony.
@@PinnedTV I know the one you mean, we did the Hopton red loop yesterday and was awesome, the last part of that climb up towards and around the left bend really does sap every bit of power. Cracking place...love it🙂
The helmet chin mount quality and angle is a lot better.....first seen that on mctrailrider... his vids are amazing... keep up thw good work . Think i need to do hopton loop,only done the uplift😂 hopefully will be able to make the xmas ride too
Thanks for the guide, only done Hopton once and wasn’t the best because we tried to find off piste but failed miserably, gotta be worth a return visit to do the red, do you know if the trails drain well over the winter?
another great review of a trail centre Jim, seems like lots of descents , for future reference and thinking of our 9 year old , what are the pedal up's like around the venue ? Fire roads ? techy steeps ? also how many kilometres round ? ( approx )
You go through a small village, up the hill, left into the forestry road, then drive about a mile up a fire road till you reach top car park on your right. Sorry don't know post code
I have only been to Hopton 2 times first time was very icey & I spent a lot of time on my ass. Second time it was so muddy the bike clogged up so much I had to get off & walk some of the red. But a good track & the only track I have been to were you drop in from the start.
Big old winding climb up? Bro, we rode there for the first time today and you do it no justice at all. Worst bloody up hill ever, every time it looks to be getting to the end it just turns you back on yourself and shows you another bloody summit with an even steeper climb. Loved it to bits though, great trails after that bloody hill :)
Great vid once again, done Hopton a couple of times good fun place. Ian looks a bit strange with his eyebrows! Can you get the hats at the xmas event or do you get them online only?
I remember when i went hopton woods almost got side swipt by few deers on the cycle path. Got it on camera aswell. Really shock mr up as they came from no where lol
Little tip for your slow-mo if your still using Sony Vegas. Right click on the audio clip and tick "lock to stretch" and you won't have that "tinny" sound.
@@PinnedTV Sorry mate, I skipped a step. Right click on the audio clip and then click properties and it will bring up a box, "lock to stretch" is there in the "audio event" tab
Looks mint there Jimbo , how far from Eastridge is it?? Save me a Pinned bobby hat as well , don't do PayPal but i'll work out some way of getting the dosh to you.
Another great video. tracks look good fun, nothing better then spending the day on your bike with your son. I've been doing the same with my son for years now and he's a great rider now. Head over to his youtube channel to see all our bike videos and he's done all the editing ua-cam.com/video/cA6WGhzSDEY/v-deo.html. Cheers
Jim watched a lot of your videos and the quality of this is a lot better . 👍
Another cracking shred. See Todney improving on every ride now. Keep up the good work lads 🤘🏼
Good to see Joel featuring. He built my Bossnut V2. He is a legend!!
Top vid from one of my favourite riding locations. Fantastic pictures on Facebook as well from the weekend 🤘🏻
Absolutely love that trail !! and especially at night! awesome place to ride.

Jim, great vid. Love Hopton. Having seen this I need to get back there. Will get myself on the Christmas ride for sure. 👍
Those brows reminds me of Ned Flanders moustache. " How diddly doodley Pinners "
Ace vid! Another place added to my list of ‘to do’s’ !!👊👊
Sick video 🤘. Chin mount is much better. Gotta get back to Hopton again!
Enjoyed that, definitely going to plan a road trip north to ride this place!

They're not bad, a bit slick in places, but not sodden
Cheers thanks for the info, got a couple of free weekends coming up in December so it’s looking a good shout for a return.
Class video need to try Hopton!
Can’t beat a bit of Hopton...qualifying loop is worth doing twice🤙🏼
Going to have to visit. Can't be far from Colstey wood I use to ride enduros in.
Sick video guys

Great vid as per!
Hi Jim, have you got a gpx for this route please?
No sorry mate, but you can follow off my Strava Pinned TV Jim
Sorry about the breathing!? Dude your human! I would of sounded like a broken wind tunnel. Cracking vid, it's on the list of places to go!
Whats the postcode for Hopton woods? Great videos and more info for places to visit and ride bikes. Cheers
Find it on Google mate 🤘
There is two carpark. Which one is the closes to the start. Im not familiar with the place and would want to visit one day
You go through a small village, up the hill, left into the forestry road, then drive about a mile up a fire road till you reach top car park on your right. Sorry don't know post code

Tip number 1 on how to ride Hopton ..... Rock up with an Ebike 💪👊⚡️⚡️
Little tip for your slow-mo if your still using Sony Vegas. Right click on the audio clip and tick "lock to stretch" and you won't have that "tinny" sound.
Ah right, nice one mate, thanks
Don't have that option after the right click mate?
@@PinnedTV Sorry mate, I skipped a step. Right click on the audio clip and then click properties and it will bring up a box, "lock to stretch" is there in the "audio event" tab
Hey! That guy set my suspension up at go outdoors!!
Tod flying! How old is he?
You know you can turn off wind noise in the app by customiseing video settings
Yeh it sounds crap, way better to remove it with wind jammers
Great vid Jim ! How much for a hat ?
£17 mate
Put me down for one. Just let me know when and how to pay. Messege me on fb messenger 👍🏻
The light in the woods was mental. Not sure about the chin mount....
Looks mint there Jimbo , how far from Eastridge is it?? Save me a Pinned bobby hat as well , don't do PayPal but i'll work out some way of getting the dosh to you.
About 15 mins from Eastridge mate
Shame you can’t get on with the full face Jim I thought the POV was on the money 💵 still good vids mate 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
When you gonna come down south to do an idiot's guide to Wind Hill?? Would love to show you round my local.
Not sure, pretty broke at the moment!!
@@PinnedTV have to sort something in the new year mate. You racing BEMBA next year?
you can't drink through your chin bar with that mount though....
Dave Pearce as in actual DJ Dave Pearce? Or were you joking then?
Haha, joking!!
Haha you had me there, I was on his Wikipedia page looking for anything mountain bike related. Needless to say I didn't find anything!
