MOUNTAIN BIKING ISN T ALLOWED HERE THE POLICE WERE CALLED

Today, me and Tom Cardy are on an urban freeride mission.
We've got the huge hopper ramp and Sam's sprinter van.
On top of the van, I've got this big sheet of wood so we can jump up onto it.
The first spot is this perfect huge drop.
To come out and just ride that as your first setup is pretty scary, to be fair.
First hit.
Oh, huge.
That's such a big setup.
That might be the biggest urban setup yet.
Is it good?
It's not, it's not.
Yeah, it looked scary but it looks perfect.
Like you couldn't get too much speed.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you'll never over clear the drop.
Wow, this is literally the absolute dream.
Turn up, slope style in the street.
Oh, Cards is in, I think.
Yeah.
Yes, that's so sick.
Now's probably the best time for me to say I haven't ridden for two and a half weeks
because I've been doing work in my van.
And Sam's like, yeah, come ride this setup.
And that is the first thing that I've hit in two and a half weeks.
All right, let's get a tuck no hander on it just to really sort of start this show.
Get this, no, get this show on the road, dude.
Yo.
Yeah.
Cardi's in for a banger.
Oh, that'll be so cool though.
My feet were off as my back wheel was still on it.
Really?
I was coming off it and I was like that, and then I felt the wheel come off.
Just pretty, yeah.
Knife and can then?
Yeah, get that knife and can off of it.
Oh, wow.
That was so good.
Yes, Cards, that was insane.
Feels good that drop, like perfect.
Perfect, still scary.
It's actually pretty massive for an urban one.
And like I said, with landing on concrete at the bottom, if it goes wrong, sketch.
In a bike park, double black.
Triple.
Triple freaking snakey diamond, dude.
Oh, and a three at them.
Oh, that feels so good on this.
We've got to go, I think.
Right, 10 more jumps, Cards.
We've come to the next spot, which is this big woolly mammoth.
Look at it.
We fitted a bit of hopper ramp to the bottom, which links that up.
And it almost looks like a perfect takeoff.
Cardi was giving it a little test run.
The other side of it is actually a landing.
So they've built this specifically to ride.
The sign says don't climb, doesn't say don't ride.
So let's see how the mammoth rides.
Oh, that is so good.
I didn't even try then.
I was a bit like scared to go quick into it.
Is that actually quite good?
Yeah.
Oh, cool.
Wow.
The wood had moved a bit.
I got a little bucky lassic on there.
Pretty weird takeoff with that wood.
Let me just get a bar spin out of it.
I think that's going to be the best option.
Oh, sick.
That's such a hard takeoff.
I just love that it's a mammoth.
Go on, Cards.
Oh, I think the only thing mammoth about it
is the pedal in.
Quite a mammoth-y pedal, that, isn't it?
Destroyed this white t-shirt again.
But it was cool, though.
Cheers, mate.
Got some good lift off of the mammoth.
Let's have a little action reaps on that thing.
Go.
Cardi's in.
Oh, yeah, that'll be sick.
Get a slomes of that, then.
I'm going to throw off a big toboggy on the mammoth.
Yeah, get it.
The woolly mammoth has been fully sent,
and we're actually now going to move to the next spot.
Next spot, we've decided to get the hopper out
for a hopper plopper session onto that landing there.
We'll just do a quick one here, and then around the corner,
there's loads of different options for hips, tricks, and flips.
What happened?
Oh, that's sick.
That is a lovely little landing, that.
Oh.
Cardi's in.
Oh, yes, please.
Might need a front on, no, like behind version of that.
We're going to do a train of that tuck no hander
and try and miss the incoming traffic.
Yo.
Yeah.
Sick.
Oh, yeah.
Cool.
He was literally looking backwards while going forwards,
then, to make sure we cared.
Not going to be as cool as a 360 off this, though, is it?
Yeah, Cards.
Yo, nice.
That's sick.
All right, go on, Sam, get his backy.
Oh, that's really nice.
All we should do is a little train,
so I'll throw it, and Sam can flip it.
Oh, yeah, nice.
That'll be cool.
I'll follow you, then, with the goy on, as well.
Bangers.
Here we go.
Yo.
That's all good.
That's sick, that's sick.
Well, I saw a really big hip potential that way.
Should we go check it?
I reckon we go and set it up,
so we can put the extension on and absolutely blast it.
Insane, though.
That's too good.
Yeah, let's 450 it, then.
Oh.
Oh, that's sick.
Quite hard with the run-up, but I like it.
Cardi's in.
Yeah, Cards.
Nice.
Let's get a flip on the go.
Oh.
I landed completely straight on there, look.
I'm going to give it a four-fifths.
He's deep.
Completely straight.
Just a double.
Yeah, cool.
Well, I flipped it, at least.
Cardi's going to 450 it.
I can't tell if it's better that from starting there or on the road.
Yeah.
Nice.
Tailwhip time for both of us.
Rock, paper, scissors.
I've got to just say it for the Austrian viewers,
the schnick, schnack, schnuck.
Is that what it is?
All right, let's schnick, schnack, schnuck it, then.
Ready?
Schnick, schnack, schnuck.
Oh, wait.
Cool, I won.
Right, you have to do it.
Okay, I'll go first anyway.
Yeah, Cards.
Bangers.
Yes.
Oh.
Well, I feel that.
Yo.
Come on, Sam.
Yes.
Sick.
Yeah, boy.
That's a big one.
It's cool.
Go on, Lou.
Yeah, that's quite a scary one on the slope duros
because these bikes are just longer to tailwhip
and being on not a perfect setup,
that's actually probably the most difficult setup I've done it on.
But it worked good.
That's so sick.
Yeah, and nice.
Sick.
Slope duros with the hoppers are just the best.
Yeah, because they make these flat landings actually-
Possible.
On the hardtails, it's a bit like blow yuppie.
Yeah, a bit annoying that matey's parked in our run up there,
but we made it happen.
I think we can squeeze in another one before it's dark, can't we?
Yeah, let's do it.
Let's go find a new spot.
We're just catching the last moments of sun.
We decided to get the winch out.
Big lip, huge landing.
I don't even know if it's fast enough.
It's really slow, this winch.
But we're going to give it a go.
First attempt coming up.
All right, let's try it.
That's perfect.
It's so good.
So we take the initial tug, hold it a second,
and then just drop it and pedal and it's perfect.
That is massive, man.
Give it a go.
Cool.
Get it, Louie.
Oh, sick.
I think the gearbox has just blown up.
Oh, sick.
Proper.
So annoying.
I think the gearbox just broke.
You're joking?
No, it's like weird now when he powered it.
No.
Let's try it though, at least.
Oh no, it's broken.
I can't believe that broke it.
I might be able to use that to pedal again.
I'll try it again.
It's not enough, but...
That's so annoying.
It's not going to work now.
That's insane.
I wonder why that broke.
Maybe we can buy a new gearbox that's faster anyway.
Unfortunately, we're going to end without doing that properly,
but it's also highlighted that this is the future of fun.
I need to fix that.
More power.
Imagine you could do flip whips.
Just huge stuff.
The best.
That was a good sesh, mate.
Yeah, thank you for that.
Nice one.
If you want to see more of that, let us know in the comments.
See you in the next one.
To the sky.
