I've got an insane announcement. I'm going to be a playable character on Matt Jones' Mavericks game.
So many of you asked for it. You wanted Sam Pilgrim to be a playable character in Mavericks
and it's happening. We're only two weeks from launch so Sam's come to the Hell Farm today
to play the video game and react to his first time session in.
We're also going to be doing some real life bike challenges around the Hell Farm
so let's get into the action.
No!
Coming to the command centre where I'm about to play the game for the first time.
I've had a few little words of what buttons to press but I don't exactly know what's going on.
But basically, let's go. Pedalling.
We're going to drop in here on, what's this one called?
Waterfall's Edge.
Waterfall's Edge. Okay, we're in.
It's going to be pretty mad watching a pro rider play it.
Oh my god, I'm sending.
The stuff you want to do.
Here we go.
Oh my goodness!
He's found the scrub.
Right, we've got this bunny hop but I've doubled it.
Nice.
Cleared that.
Right, we're going to sort of...
This is sick.
Right, keep on the track.
When you discover this trail it becomes a proper track that you can see on the map and everything.
This is unbelievable, look.
Graphics are insane, aren't they?
Let's just try and do a normal...
Bit of a whip there, right next to the edge.
Oh, huge bunny hop.
I'm so close to the edge.
We're fine-tuning the bunny hop at the minute.
What way, what way?
Straight over, yeah, go full speed because it's a massive step down.
Oh, massive.
I'm getting a little bit too big.
Oh, he pulled it!
Oh no, you're never going to land that.
180.
Oh, I landed it.
Yeah.
Beat that.
Right, that's a set for the game.
I've sort of forgotten...
I can do double lean.
Yeah, right stick's kind of like drift.
And if you hold that sideways bit on the whip longer, you'll do a bigger whip.
Okay, nice.
If you want to brake for this step down, it's completely hefty.
That's quite cool, you actually have to do braking and stuff.
Should we add a doomer when we add you as a character?
Please.
I'm going deep here.
Oh, what?
Oh, we bugged that out.
Do you know how you can like...
Oh, back brake to like motor.
So the two things we're changing in a minute, which is sick,
is making it that you crash more.
Yeah.
Because you shouldn't be able to send it 200 foot off cliffs
and that you can't like kill flip rotation so much.
Okay, right.
Because in real life, you can slow them down and speed them up, can't you?
Yeah.
I like that you actually have to brake and stuff.
Right, you've discovered this track now.
Oh my god.
Do another one.
Oh, new one.
Freeride.
This is literally...
I'm just bad at it.
You love bunny hops.
It's like the Dave Meara era of gaming, isn't it?
Down here is a hell farm.
Let me try.
So I hop that.
Yeah.
Then on the last jump, if you pull back and roll it left or right and hold it early.
So I hold it to the side.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Big old whipper.
So then what?
Is this the hell farm?
Is it?
So this is...
Oh, it's like a skinny there.
I go to the right.
Oh, immediately went left.
Can you see those orange flags on the left, right?
Head to them.
If you go through them, it will trigger the start of you attempting this tech challenge.
Which...
I just need to get prepared a second.
Wait.
Just got to track stand a bit.
All this stuff, these tech challenges are deliberately challenging.
So I've never known someone to do it all first go.
Right, I'm up.
Never.
Okay.
Never seen someone go all the way over.
Then around here.
Yeah.
And then go slow.
There you go.
Right, you want to just break as soon as you land up here.
And now it's to the right.
Can you see that board?
Oh my god, tech.
This is sick.
This is proper trials.
Yeah.
So the first time you do this, straight on.
You've got the hang of the brakes.
The bunny hop.
No.
Oh, back to the start.
Do you want to actually show us that it's possible?
This is going to be fun.
Yeah, I'll show you.
Immediately not get through it.
Look at this trials maneuvers.
The world's sick, isn't it?
Like there's so much of this to explore.
Right, here we go.
Sprint, boost.
Oh, I don't hit that.
Yo, is that it?
Reward 150 moolah, go and buy a jersey.
Oh, right.
You get money for that.
Yeah.
Oh, cool.
Look, because I've completed the health bar.
If I go on the map, now I've done it.
See that?
That's now a fast travel point.
So at any moment you can come back here.
Oh, cool.
Oh, well good.
Right, do you want to do something else?
Or should we go outside and do some challenges and come back and do it?
You need to do a race at some point.
Try and beat one of my lap times.
Right, first challenge, Sam.
Here's the start line.
Okay.
Set a lap on my backyard pit bike track.
We've had the likes of Tommy Sell, Billy Bolt, Eddie Carlson flew here to smash the record.
Wow.
On a Stark, but we've never had a Sir on.
Yes, it's Sir on a clock.
Are you ready then?
So it literally finishes when you come around that flat corner and across here, yeah?
Okay.
Three, two, one, go.
What is it?
A 39.97.
Oh, yeah.
So no one's ever been under 40 seconds on not a Stark or a 350 motocross bike.
He beat Tommy Sell on a motorbike.
Easy.
First challenge complete then.
Should we do a little follow with the boys while we're here?
Cool.
Yes.
We just finished that lap time and having fun on the pit bike track.
Let's find out where I got.
Third place.
Oh my God.
So that's Eddie Carlson, pro rider, Billy Bolt, like world champion.
And then Sam Pilgrim.
I actually like it here though.
It would look funnier, wouldn't it?
Yeah, go on then.
Just to be annoying.
Look, miles faster than these guys.
Look at you down here.
Look, it's your track.
I'm humble.
You need to do some practice.
Yeah, right.
I see.
You had a flatty, didn't you?
Yeah, yeah.
That was your one.
Nice.
There we go.
Flatty.
A fatty on the back.
Right.
Next challenge then.
This is honestly the sickest thing anyone could ever have in their garden, a skate park.
So because of that, it's the flair challenge.
This quarter pipe flair.
I reckon we'll both do it first go.
Rock, paper, scissors.
I win.
Right.
So you're first then.
Wow.
Heavy though.
No, that was sick.
That was a big one.
That was well, that was a tall flair.
I like that.
Right.
Yes.
Nice.
There we go then.
Let's do a team one.
Three, two, one, go.
That was perfect.
Perfect execution.
Right.
For those of you that think Mavericks isn't real.
Look, this is me being that game.
You don't need to put your feet down, do you?
And we're back in the game.
Back in Mavericks.
That glitch from real life to here has made us...
This is a race then, is it?
I'm going to absolutely smash you.
Put these on so you can hear Warner.
Oh yeah, yeah.
That's going to make me way more stoked.
Look how gamer I am.
I've even got a...
Right.
Go.
Here we go.
About to smash the time.
Rob Warner in my ears.
Left stick only round these turns.
Rail it.
Oh, my God.
Here we go.
Oh, you're up by almost a second.
Oh, that was good.
That was really good, actually.
Right.
Again, just rail these.
I know it feels slow.
This is one of the easiest...
It's actually definitely the easiest racetrack.
The times get so tight and so soon.
Carrying great pace through this turn.
Right.
Let's try and steeze a bit.
Oh, my God.
Look at it.
This is insane.
I'm going to brave the pit.
There we go.
I think it's still going to be up by a lot.
It's a funny hot lap.
Oh, yeah.
Look, I'm flying.
Braving a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, no.
Oh, you did well there.
Where are you going to go here?
Oh, no.
That's been broken.
You would have crashed then.
All those trees are getting removed in a minute.
This is it.
You've actually done an insane time.
Come on.
Zero steeze.
Yes.
Look at the time.
And he's off.
Straight to the chairlift.
You literally rode through a tree.
You know that?
Yeah, that's just me.
Because I'm massive.
You ready for this?
Go on then.
Let's see it.
Boost that.
Oh, you're down.
No, I'm two scrubs away from winning.
Please go over the bars.
No.
Give me the download link now.
I'm actually going to beat anyone that joins this game.
Right, come out of there.
Right, Mavericks is available in like two weeks on the 24th of July.
So those of you who are going to get there very, very early are going to have...
We were talking about it, weren't we?
Do they get anything for being first?
Legends pack.
So first people to...
If you download the game in the first day or two days, I think,
you get Legends pack, which is a unique jersey.
Loads of cool stuff in there.
So you'll be the only people to ever have that stuff.
That's it.
So no one else is going to have it if you don't get there quick.
Do it now.
Go to Steam and wishlist Mavericks.
There's a link in the description.
Look at that wheelie.
That's one of your real life...
Either.
That is so true.
We're going to do a backflip challenge in the game on the Red Bull Hardline River Gap,
and then we're going to go outside and do all my dirt jumps.
All right, go on then.
Drop it.
Let's see it.
All right, ready?
Oh, that was mint.
That was the one, wasn't it?
Huge exit whip.
Now, because we've done it, you complete it when you dive.
There's fast travel back to it.
Oh, yeah.
Literally just pop and then back brake and just let it be on its rotation.
That's a really good pre-hop on that.
Yes.
Oh, that's proper good.
Final challenge.
It's a real one.
We're out here on the jumps in perfect blue skies.
Amazing.
And it's the flip challenge.
To make it more exciting, I'll follow you.
What?
Just flip following?
Yeah.
All right.
Train action and flips.
Don't do the one you did on the River Gap onto your back.
Oh, yeah.
It's put me off now.
Double, double, double, double, double.
Here we go.
Bit of drainage.
Do you know what I'm really happy about?
That the loop's not running.
I knew you were going to say that.
Sam's obviously gutted that the loop's not running because he was desperate.
That's what I was hoping to do today.
Well, you need that in the game, though.
Yeah, it's coming.
Yeah, massive one.
Like over a village.
Definitely.
That's really good.
Let's do another lap through.
All right, Matt's in.
We're going to go flip on the first.
Boom.
Massive.
Go over the steepy race jump.
Big three.
I'm scared for that.
And we need a three.
I went a bit far on the flip.
That's really...
I love that line.
I like that it will only get better because like you said, there's that bit of a...
Soft on top, isn't it, in the rain?
It's like loamy, dude.
It's kind of like hero dirt.
All right, get it.
Well done, mate.
Well, I've got to go and do a load of coding now to get rid of that tree that you actually
magically went through.
What? Because this annoyed you so much that I beat you first go.
Well, it's still in development, mate.
Mavericks is still in development, but we're launching on the 24th of July.
Go and wishlist it on Steam and then all of us are going to be playing it together.
But I'd love for you to comment what we should bring to the game with Sam.
Like you've got some ideas, haven't you?
Yeah, like because I'm going to be on...
Well, you can be on any bike you want from the bed bike, tricycle, penny farthing.
I could be that size.
Whatever you want, actually.
So let us know in the comments below what words and saying should be in the video.
Because when I'm jumping and that on the bed bike, I can be like, whoa, things like that.
Exactly.
Literally anything we can do.
We're still developing.
And for the whole game.
Like whatever you want, write it down below.
We love the feedback.
Yeah, that's it.
See you online in the virtual dreamland.
Mavericks!
To the score!
