A brand new trail has just been built here at Bike Park Wales, so they invited me down
to give it a test ride, and it looks well sick.
Let's get ready for a shreddy.
This fresh section here is on the bottom of the existing Martian Trail, which has also
had a revamp, so we're going to ride the whole of that in a bit, but first, we want to hit
jumps because that's the best thing.
Cardi's just arrived, hiding behind that tree there.
It's going to be a fun sesh, some photos for Bike Park Wales, general tomfoolery.
Let's first run through.
Oh, so big on that one.
Don't blow up.
I rolled the tire.
I'm so heavy and fast.
I mean, this is my slope duro setup.
Oh, that's well good.
I was too excited with that man-eating.
Let's do a lap then, shall we?
Yes, yes.
Get it.
Firm edge.
Oh, the speed's spiring.
Well good.
Let's get a flip on here and see what happens over there.
I reckon we can three this hit.
It'd be scary because, like I said, I'm going a bit quick, but I'll flip, drag a bit, spin
edge oh nice oh nice bit over rowey i just caught didn't i that came in a well good like
tire roll off that's right it's a bit slow there i'm a bit fast but i'm well heavy and
i do have 60 psi in the tires that will learn me won't it you might have noticed i've been
landing like back wheel on this first racer when i'm trying to land manny so this guy i'm gonna
manny all the way and like bonk my front wheel into the lip and then go over the bar i mean um
do a backflip out of it
wimp i'll put the wheel down miles in front of it it's kind of a a tool ask for my brain though
you gotta bang the front wheel in and then like i used to do manny into a quarter pipe and then
you flare out of it it's a bit different on a rock hard excuses let's do it oh that's scary
card is in we know if it can here yes sewage in oh
i've switched the canyon spectral now this is a enduro bike and it's set up more for the top
section which is pretty steep as you can see obviously when it's open there won't be any
walking up the track so it would be be so dangerous but we're giving it a test today
so that's fine and the top section's pretty technical some rock drops and
big step downs like this one here this is a fun part of the trail kind of for a normal
person walking up that probably doesn't look like you can ride it you literally just roll on there
and it kind of works although i can see no one's done it for very long because it's literally
perfect grass there at least if you crash it's soft let's give that a go cards
that's well good actually looks funny just bouncing around on it
so strange that's that's actually a sick feature in it like it shouldn't work really somehow but
it works perfectly if you did just roll that though guys you'd die so just remember when
that front wheel touches give it a bit of a pull or don't actually make sure you're filming it now
i'm such a racer from a few videos ago we're gonna try outside and then skip around to keep
the trail speed you know different option of drop drop drop yeah because that puts you in line way
better there i wouldn't want to do it in the wet though that's where we'll find like trying
different lines and stuff now i've got a new found excitement for finding quicker smoother options
let's go to the top and we can link these all these sections up and we'll get into that big
step down there this is it then full length martian let's give it a go we just smashed
out a load of laps this is unbelievable martian so fun such a good trail it's like i don't know
the mixture of features is fun the jumps are amazing and we've got the weather for it today
it's literally perfect i think of wales as like raining all the time so apparently it's been
drier for five weeks so you should get down here while it's running perfect but martian is going
to be open i think once this video is out it will be open so get yourselves down there for a shreddy
i'm gonna chase cardi down now see what it's like following it'll be cool you should go off the um
the double drop and i'll go around the quick one it might like
get sketchy yeah ready yeah let's get it go for it
this is it oh oh wow you went well weird there
yo oh mate that is so fun
oh love that
that's unreal how good is that that's actually the best did it work the crossover
yeah i didn't know where you were going she took a strange route into the crossover yeah oh mate
that's the best oh what a trail that's so sick martian it used to be fun but it wasn't the most
exciting and now with them additional changes up top and these jumps down here that is a dream that
was so much fun we pushed up and down then about 20 times so sweaty i can push the sweat out of
my helmet look minging but for now the trail is closed while i'm filming this video but when you
watch this this trail is fully open so get down to bike park wales and you can actually
get shredding on that and it's running so fast now so so enjoy the hot baked in conditions while
you can we're now going to head that way get something to eat and drink and then ride some
more stuff we're now over at zeutelaars this is like a fun little jumpy trail pretty small but you
want to get some drone action here we go into zeutelaars yeah let's go a little bit old school
come on we're gonna cruise in now one for x no foot one hand i haven't done that for ages
suey then we're gonna go new and old wow oh huge into the berm
i got a bit wild oh louis down the drone is down look at louis with no regard
for the tools i've bought him for the job where's that disappeared to then i think cara
lead out the session well she's flying along actually miles in head oh there's a big hole there
i think she just done a one-hander
yeah very nice just finished an epic sesh here at bike park wales thanks so much for
inviting us down to test ride the new martian trail there as you saw i had two different bikes
reason being this is set up for actually getting down a mountain safely and that one set up rock
hard stiff suspension stiff tires which makes tricks easier and after all that shredding the
bike is filthy well what do you do then smoke all time first off after this sesh i'm going to just
dry clean it up get rid of all the dust make it look ready for the next session because we're on
a two-day mission you'll see the next video at a later date we want this to be ready for tomorrow
let that soak in a bit a few moments later a few minutes later we've let it soak in this is where
dreams actually become reality i just love the dry clean because you don't really have to do anything
which is what i'm all about this is like a bit dirty this rag but we're going to wipe all this
off taking all that dust off with it look at it so beautiful i'll show you the finished result
in a second another few moments later and we're left with the most beautiful looking canyon all
clean and fresh but today is about the excitement of brake clean yeah that's what's happening all
we do for this spray the brake clean on a lint free cloth there we go a bit of brake clean on
there smaller container because you don't need loads of it every time just wipe that round getting
off all that debris and like blackness that you see after a session especially when it's all dusty
and you've been riding like heavy downhill trails there we go i'm gonna do that to the front as well
you can see on the front there's all this ming on there look one little lap of this and you can see
immediately the ming is gone the level of braking you oh my god almost killed louis the level of
braking and skills you're going to gain from this is just unbelievable be sure to wait 15 minutes
after you've done it it'll be all dry and there we have a clean bike in no time at all ready for
the next session see you in the next one
