So insane!
Hello everyone, today is going to be epic because I'm out here in Costa Rica
at the House of Dirt. This place is amazing
and we're here for the Fire Ride Festival. It's going to be the best thing ever.
Well everyone's just arrived so we're rushing around looking at all of the cool features here.
Oh we're doing the event on slope duro bikes which is going to be nice and fun.
We're going to actually walk straight to the top and then we'll do a little walk
through of all the fun features for this event.
Here we go, this is the line then. Cruise in, hit a metal lip onto this on-off beam.
Cruise edge, kind of breaking into this because it's full speed
and then you're into the last one.
Oh nice!
Here we go, first two runs through. It's so hot, it's a little bit of wind in the air
would be rude not to go in this pool isn't it?
All this water has reminded me that yesterday we went for this cool rainforest waterfall excursion
where we could do huge jumps off cliffs, look at this.
We're at the dream jump off location, getting wet.
We've had some fun hitting the big line, chilling around,
pooling, enjoying life. We've now come to this sick pump track,
see what it's all about and I'm going to blast the lap.
Wow!
Oh my god that's so good!
It's now time for the high air comp which is quite questionable. We've got a
super flat lip, the height bar's quite close so we're not going to go that high
but let's have a go, it looks quite fun.
I'm old and my back hurts, it's really annoying me.
I'm not going to carry on anymore but we've got three guys left, let's see who wins.
Yes mate, nice one, good skill.
Just finished day one, that was sick, high air, loads of runs through the big line.
I'm so tired, it's unbelievable. Tomorrow's going to be amazing, let's go.
It's now the next day and it's time for the best trick comp, that's what we're here for.
We're having a jam to see who can do the best line here on these sick four jumps in a row.
30 minutes is about to begin, let's get it.
Right, here we go, first lap of the run.
Oh, another flip tuck!
The much needed dirt on hands.
Oh Mark, that was so good, your run.
Wow, cool.
I'm glad you've done that because I was like, I don't know if it's possible.
I pulled like I've never pulled for a flip before on that.
I think I pulled a little not enough and then in the air I realised and I was like, oh!
We've just finished the best trick, best line jam session on the jumps.
That was so much fun, we ended up doing way more tricks than I thought we would.
Epic, loving Costa Rica.
They've now got a freestyle motocross guy over here, let's have a look.
Oh my god, it happened again.
Wow, that was scary.
It's actually the best end of the day, there's nothing more than this.
I need to see the replay.
From the insanity of that huge crash on the quad,
it's now time for best whip where there might be more crashing involved.
It's going to be carnage I think.
I'm actually pretty awful at whips but it's going to be fun to hang out with the lads.
Yeah and the setup's cool, it's just a cool place to be so yeah, let's get it.
Oh my god, go away drone, go away!
I almost died, the drone was here.
I can't even see the lip.
You can't even see the take a whole time.
John just won best whip.
That was so good.
We're now going to have a little party, fire people.
Costa Rica, what a place.
With a third place, Mark.
Number one seeded Sam Pilgrim.
Getting first place there with all the crew, I'm well stoked.
But as we're in Costa Rica, we've decided to come to Jaco.
This is a paradise for surfing, hanging out, getting a sunburn and loving life.
Let's get into the action of this week of fun here in paradise.
Where are we going?
Amazing viewpoint with a massive all copper hill and an abandoned building.
Sounds well good.
We made it.
It's pretty hot though.
Wow, look at that, it's incredible.
So insane.
Oh my god, wow.
We've gone full tourist, bucket hats on and we're on a
mangrove tour looking for monkeys and crocodiles.
There we go, we saw monkeys in the wild.
Feeding monkeys in the wild.
Fully fed the monkeys in the wild, that was well cool.
What an amazing week it's been here in Jaco.
It's a crazy place, super boiling, but we had such cool time exploring,
finding epic stuff to do.
Unfortunately, that is the end.
See you in the next one.
