Aston is amazing. The GoPro doesn't show the steepness of it at all which is a bit of a shame. I remember getting tjere after watching videos and thinking s*** this is a lot steeper than it looks 😳 😅.
Hey man! Thanks bro appreciate it. I've only just got used to it coming from a hardtail. Its an absolute dream to ride. I've been to aston a few times since then and starting to feel a lot more comfortable!. Are you local to Aston?
Haha the push up I manage 8 full runs normally and then I’m done it’s my local 😂😂 practice practice with Aston hill I actually find root canal harder than black run.
Yeah I find root canal the hardest the first time ever went to aston I went on a hardtail LOL never again! Yeah im literally like 25-30 mins from aston too!. My favourites are probably richochet and black run (I can actually finish black run now) haha.
@@MTBM-MattHowse I had a Roscoe too but yeah quickly realised a full suss was needed. Ah good at first it feels gnarly black run but a few runs and your well into it. I get feeling a 29er helped a lot though lol. Black run snd surface to air for me my favs.
Hey mate. I find the large for me absolutely fine im 6ft 1 and the bike feels amazing. I would probably go for a medium if I was you. They are pretty large bikes im broad so it suits me eve more.Thanks mate appreciate the support 👍 👊🏻
@@MTBM-MattHowse thanks for the reply - mate I had the same crash last week, I was going down a steep technical section super slow (and looking at the front wheel) and have a bad habit of pulling the front brake.. too much weight over the front and over I went.. I’m only a beginner myself so learning the hard way!
I have been to aston a few times since this video if you look at some of my newer videos I manage to do that trail pretty well in the end. Yeah mate its always a learning curve. I've had some silly crashes which should never have happened haha. Its all fun and games 👊🏻
Yeah course mate. Im using the Hero 7 black edition and mount it to my chest using the GoPro chesty (make sure jts really tight to avoid any unstable footage) I shoot in 4k 30fps with superview on. Hope this helps.🙂

@@MTBM-MattHowse yeah I've had the same feeling with a couple of the trails I've done 😂
We'll have you hitting the black run like a pro soon!
Haha hopefully. Its so gnarly compared to what it looks like on the GoPro.
@@MTBM-MattHowse yup thats the gopro affect.
Yh bro, I spoke to you that day, the bike looks mint

Getting faster and faster bud. Bet there with you next time. Maybe not on the black though just yet!
Yeah the black is to much at the moment!!
Ricochet and surface to air are getting sent like fedex tho!

Can I ask what GoPro you are using and how you mount it onto your chest please?
Yeah course mate. Im using the Hero 7 black edition and mount it to my chest using the GoPro chesty (make sure jts really tight to avoid any unstable footage) I shoot in 4k 30fps with superview on. Hope this helps.🙂
Thought you was going to collect a tree on the 1st half of the last run. 🚴♀️
Yeah some of those trees do get rather close 😄
I thought the same.😄
