Today is going to be epic.
We are out here at the 24 hour Le Mans.
It's going to be insane.
It's super loud.
We've got a super action packed video coming up.
Look at this.
Epic.
But before we get into the crazy activities from this weekend, we found some sick stuff
to ride on the way here.
Let's have a look.
Our first stop on the way to Le Mans is Le Havre.
This is a seaside port town in northern France and it is filled with epic urban downhill
stuff and urban free ride lines.
So of course, we have to check it out.
Let's have a look.
We're just on our way to some of the Doomers and we spotted this insane bit of architecture
which looked super rideable on the jump bike.
Unfortunately, there's these bars at the bottom, so it's not as rideable as we thought.
But I've seen that stair set of Doom there which we might be able to pull off the most
ridiculous stair set ride on an e-bike ever.
So what I'm going to do is stand on the frame here and ride down in the Jesus ride thing
because the other day I learnt how I could hold my wing and do biking at the same time.
Look at this.
That was ridiculous.
So I thought maybe you can ride downstairs stood on the same part.
So let's give it a go.
Oh!
Yes!
Insane!
Let's go and find something stair set to Doom now.
Stair set number one is the Askelia Olivia Sen.
Are you ready to send it?
That looks well dreams.
Here we go.
You can lead on then.
See what happens.
Get it.
Louie's in on Askelia Olivia Sen.
Wow.
Oh my goodness gracious.
That is insane.
That was so good.
Look at this.
That might not be possible though.
Here we go.
Let's try this steep one into just a wall at the bottom.
It's so gnarly.
Oh yes.
Easy.
Thank you.
Well, that was quite steep and scary of the brick wall at the end.
There's literally loads of them around here.
So let's pedal up that way and see what else we can find.
Oh, Chat Blanc.
Just love the eaves, how they just chill up these steep slopes.
We're now at the next huge Doomer, Askelia de Tourneville.
This is the longest one in the land here.
And it's going to be a bit sketchy because it's so long.
We don't know if anyone's at the bottom.
So we can kind of half send it down there.
Here we go.
Askelia de Tourneville.
In this blind section, which is so scary.
Oh.
Oh my goodness.
Let's slow it down with ease.
Merci.
Oh.
Whoa.
Yes, Lou.
Oh, sick.
Yeah.
That's well good.
That was a proper Askelia de Tourneville, wasn't it?
Yeah.
We just found another set.
It looks like there's kickers off to the side.
You can go in front.
I'll follow you in.
Dropping.
They're pumped.
Oh yeah, look.
Instant kickers.
Oh, Lou's flying.
Right, left here.
Right, left.
Carry on.
That was proper.
Oh, into the cheaty line.
Oh, that's tight there.
Yeah.
Fire.
That was rad.
On our way to Le Mans, we've stopped at the second location, which is this little pump
track that showed up on Google Maps.
Google Maps is the best.
You just search all manner of different cool rideable things, and generally, something's
going to turn up.
So let's get a lap.
We're going to smash a lap with this little bumpy.
Pretty sick.
Let's finish off this section with a big old manual the whole way through.
Nice.
What a zone.
Let's continue to Le Mans then.
First activity of the 24 hour Le Mans is the parade through the town.
Next thing we're doing, which is ridiculous, we're literally driving on the Le Mans track
right now.
This is so funny.
We're about to set up a hopper ramp on this famous corner here and jump over the car and
stuff.
This is crazy.
We've been given an hour to set up here on the Recordemon Motul corner.
We're putting a hopper ramp together.
We're getting some shots for Motul and for this video, so we're rushing because the setup
is eating into our time of making it happen.
I've also never built this hopper ramp as well, so it's going to be fun and exciting.
Done.
That's going to go somewhere like that, and then we have to jump to flat because we didn't
have enough time to make a landing.
Let's do this little hit to flat then.
That is painful.
As we only had a small time slot, there was no time to bring a landing, so we have to
make do.
Can I go higher?
Who is this guy?
We've moved the ramp now away from the car.
It's such a heavy impact landing, it's not that enjoyable.
We're going to do a flip to flat now.
I never do flips to flat like that.
It's horrible, but we're making this moment count.
What?
A skid, yes!
Big skid on the track for you, mate.
Do you think we should do a flip on the actual track though?
This is quite surreal really.
One, it's awful because it's painful to ride, but the excitement is overcoming the pain
of riding this ramp to flat.
It's actually better flipping to flat than it is jumping to flat because you can't see
when the pain is coming in.
I don't have the right mount for that bike rack, so it's a bit wobbly.
We're going to try a few more little tricks.
I've lowered it a bit so it doesn't literally destroy us.
We just got told this is a world's first.
No one's ever ridden bikes and done tricks on this track.
It's so cool.
What an experience.
This is rad.
Thanks so much Motul for having us.
We're now going to move to more activities.
We're here for three days and it's going to be mind-blowing.
It's now the next day.
We've just woken up in our yurt.
Me and Louis are sharing this cool little zone here.
It's quite fun.
This is the glamping area.
We're now headed off to do some more sick activities in this crazy location.
It should be a good one.
Let's go and explore Le Mans 24-hour.
Here we go.
Porsche experience.
We're about to go around the track.
It's going to be epic.
No way.
It's still heavy enough.
No, it went.
Just finished off that experience.
That was well cool.
Going around the Le Mans track.
Pretty fast in the electric car.
Dreams.
Next activity.
We're now doing a quick museum tour here at Le Mans.
This is sick.
This room, well building, is filled with cars.
The whole history of Le Mans.
It's now time for go-karting.
We've got our Motul go-kart outfits on.
We're in a team.
It's the Pilgrim Brothers versus all these guys.
We've got qualies and a final.
It's going to be the best.
Let's get it and smash the competition.
Louis, you're up first for qualies.
Let's smash it then.
The clock's coming up for Louis.
What's happening, Louis?
We're at the podium bit, which obviously we're on.
Not sure what place yet.
Yes!
Look at that.
Dreams.
Second place on the podium.
Me and Louis.
Stone it!
Motul's the best.
This is absolutely mental.
It's quarter to midnight.
It's literally packed.
Look at it.
There's fireworks.
We've literally turned up just in time.
There's a pit stop going on.
Incredible.
We don't want to get in anyone's way.
We've just made it back to our yurt for the night.
Two in the morning.
Had a shower over there in the shower block area.
You can hear the cars so loudly.
Listen.
I don't know how we're going to sleep, but that's the bed.
See you tomorrow for more activities, including a helicopter ride.
Ridiculous.
We've just woke up.
It's about 8.30.
Listen how loud the cars are in the background.
Last night was alright because they weren't racing.
This night was quite hard to sleep with V8 noise just bombing around.
We've got a few more activities now though.
Did a bomb go off last night?
Oh no.
I'm just a little messy.
Straight after breakfast.
They just gave us a chance to turn up to their boutique here at Le Mans and take what I want.
I might have that then.
Yes, I'm going to have that for sure.
Oh my god, I'm going to look this part out.
The new engine as well.
Get a few of them.
Nice one.
Cheers guys.
Thanks for that.
That's unfortunately the end of the Le Mans 24 hour for us.
That was an amazing experience.
Thank you very much to Motul and also Suzuki for letting us run some mileage on your vehicle with the new engine oil in there.
It's like recycled oil which is an amazing cool thing to happen that we can keep using it and it still works perfectly.
What a sick weekend that was.
Thank you very much.
If you want to see more crazy motorsport stuff like this, let me know and we'll get there.
See you in the next one.
Vroom vroom.
