    Cracking video 👍, Gisburn maybe old school but it is what mountain biking is about for me. You can't beat earning a good descent after a big climb . Brilliant venue . On the doorstep of some awesome bike rides in the dales 😁.

      Thank you for the kind words! Totally agree, it’s a belter! Haven’t really done any dales rides being honest. Need to get out and explore more for sure! 👍

    I must have ridden those trails when it was a new trail centre. Must be about 15 years ago I last rode there! I still have the GT Avalanche 3.0 Bike I used too! Must go back sometime.

      GT avalanche 3, classic Hardtail.
      Yeah me too, hully gully was like nothing else, a real challenging and super fun section of trail ! You should go back for nostalgic reasons, it will take you back.

    Afetr 13 minutes the chest cam sobers up from one too many Bacardi & Cokes from last night 😄 Top video again, forest trails are my fav's as it's close to nature when all week we're surround by concrete. Keep em' coming.

    Crazy how much it has changed. Last time I went, there were no trees next to Simon's swamp at all.

    • @MindfulTrailBiker
      @MindfulTrailBiker  9 місяців тому

      It’s incredible how mush they change over the years. Its feels really different on the climb part or homemaker with no trees! Llandegla feels very different now as well either way the deforested bits and then the climb parts that were deforested around 12 years ago are now tree lined again.

    Me my son and my dad were here on Saturday just gone, lovely place to ride, we had a great day. In fact I was talking to a guy with a dog that looked like yours at the cafe, wondering if it was you now.

    Our local trail centre too, love a good blast round there. Never once made it over the large jumps on the Hope line though, can’t carry enough speed around the corner 😂

    • @MindfulTrailBiker
      @MindfulTrailBiker  9 місяців тому +1

      I’ll always have a soft spot for gisburn! That drop is a bit mental coming out of a 90 degree corner as you can’t flow into it. It requires plenty extra pulling to make up for the lack of speed. The 2nd one is lovely if you manage to hit the down ramp sweet!

    Once in a while I come here for a pedal and am quickly reminded how much I hate it :p Would love to see someone who knows how to build bring either some real tech or flow to the place.

      I can totally see why it’s not everyone cup of tea. It did used to be considered fairly tech (for many) at one time.
