Follow me on my mid 50's journey to Sending. Back in the game with maybe a few years left for the crazy stuff before I crack out the metal detector. Having a blast, Old guys rock and all that 😊 Have been working on my progression for about 3 years now, operating within my limits... most of the time. Roots in oldskool BMX and mtb. Now back enjoying bike parks and trails mostly on my ebike, but also have an analogue enduro and a jump bike.
My Wheelie Theory 🤔
As a rider in my mid fifties, I have found some things just aren't as easy as they were... but with some practice and adjustment, things can improve 👊 It's all in the hips 😊

Great day getting some goals ticked off. I did have a slide off a berm but other than that it's the best I have ridden at BPW. #emtb #bikeparkwales #trekrail7 #jump #send #A470 #ZutAlors #insufficientfunds #progression #50

The fails on recent riding. Well I guess coming across a downed rider was not a fail but it was for him. We made sure he was OK, saw him later and he was up and about, and was going to get checked out. #emtb #trekrail7 #jump #fod #dirtfarm #fail
Dirt Farm. Rabbit Run, Moto, Ninja Alley and Rooster.

Great Day at DirtFarm making a bit of progress on areas of Moto, a decent send of Ninja Alley and having a go at Rooster, although not tried the Big Step Up yet 😯 #emtb #TrekRail7 #DirtFarm #RabbitRun #Moto #NinjaAlley #Rooster #Jump #Send #50
Insufficient Funds Progression.
zhlédnutí 113Před měsícem
Bike Park Wales has lots work on for sure but Insufficient Funds for some reason became a fav to try and complete. To be fair I'm not sure why as I always ended up with the Woosh Bang of clattering into the back of the landings 🤣 With conditions good I did the best I have ever done. Still need to get the big option on 2nd from last but pleased with this 👊 #trekrail7 #emtb #bikeparkwales #Insuff...
Bike Park Wales A470 Progression.
zhlédnutí 122Před měsícem
Great day at Bike Park Wales, I was very keen to ride the A470 upgrade and it did not disapoint 😊 Rode I three times while there and this was my best progress to date on the last section. Hope to get it clean over next few visits. Wish this Old Man luck 👊 #emtb #trekrail7 #jump #bikeparkwales #A470 #Progression #50

Good work
Thankyou, I was stoked to complete it.
Yes buddy 🎉 😁
You're right about the practice 👊
No mop needed buddy… you cleaned them all 👌🫡
Haha I love that phrase 😅 Thanks mate, yes it was a good day for sure 👌👊
Yeah buddy 👊
Cheers man, was surprised how much speed is required to clear it 😀
Good job!
Thank you 😊
Very nice run! Looks good! May I ask what bike you're running? It looks like a Cube?
Thanks 😊 The bike is a Trek Rail 7 with a few mods.
I could spread that run on toast buddy… butter 🧈 🫡 You got that hip at the end on the right, you were carry good speed/flow for it 👊
Thanks buddy, yes I think I would have had it, don't think I had prepared myself for the idea of it. Next time hopefully 😊👊
Ace progress buddy 👍 Think I saw a cheeky manny tap and some nice steez on the middle section 👌
Thanks man, think the manny tap was kinda of accidental 😅 wicked fast trail 👊
Nice line through the triple rollers on GBU 👌👊
Cheers buddy, trying to avoid that damn pit 😂
@@OldBeanMTB That’s the only line to miss the pit of doom 😂
😅
You’d regret it more if you didn’t have a go 🫡
True that mate, get it next time 🤟
Haha Awesome 😊
Haha that's me on the left of the last gap lol. What a coincidence this came up in my feed
2018 last time there i think, great place with tractors pulling you up.
Yes they still do the Tractor trailer uplift. I tend to go on my eeb and pedal up.
Fookin el chief is that black mountain in wales? That was great to see.
Yes, DirtFarm black mountains. Was a bit of a moment 😅
Yeah buddy 👊👊
Cheers, as you said, you have to proper commit to that 😮😊
Love a gap to flat 🫡👊
I do try 😊
Still got it then!❤
Good job
Thanks 😊
What wheel size is that?
29 front, 27.5 rear (Mullet).
great riding and awesome trail dude
Thanks man 😊
clean
😊👍
Really impressive control you got, keep up the good work!
Thanks, there's always room for improvement 👊🤟
So clean!
Cheers man 👊
Sending those jumps buddy 👍
Cheers man, getting there with them 😃
Wow
You will love it and I reckon you will totally send that hip jump 😊
The chin mount gives a good perspective 👍 Okay, I need to ride this next time I’m there, ashamed I was right next to it and haven’t hit it still 😅👍
JUST SUBSCRIBED!!!AMAZING!!!👌👌👍👍👍👍
Thankyou, I still have to complete it properly, I keep casing that last jump 😄🤷♂️
JUST SUBSCRIBED!!!!AC / DC Trail ROCKSSSSS!!!!Nice trail & amazing riding!!!👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Thanks 😊 It is a fab trail, a fav for sure 😀
yeah buddy, clean 👌🫡
Cheers, I realised as soon as you nail the two jumps before it sets you up lovely 😀
That road gap is hard, still trying to get it smooth myself. big pull for not the biggest gap 🤷♂️
It is, think a bit more speed though that berm and a spot on pull should do it 👍
@@OldBeanMTB For sure, you got it buddy 🫡
Nice riding buddy 👊 You won’t get any judgement from me on the odd case 😅👍👍
😅
Well sent sir 🫡
My Pleasure 😊
That merry Christmas at the end made my day 😂
I wanna hit this line next time I’m at FOD. Hopefully I can go soon maybe when this storm has passed!
It's a great line, took me a while to get it done. Yes it's considerably easier in the dry I would say.
@@OldBeanMTB I’m glad it’s not just me who takes ages to learn a new line! Despite my channel name I’m not always a ‘full send’ guy!!
@fullsendmountainbiker5844 Mate I'm 54 so I take it methodically and always work within my means just gently pushing at my limits to progress. I did them one at a time until I had them. I'm sure you can do similar 🤟
@@OldBeanMTB yeah I’m actually 17 but I do ‘over-think’ stuff so MTB is good because it doesn’t allow me to think about things too much. Although I’ve never liked the idea of just going full send at stuff and hoping I don’t break my back
Even with fitness, working out, running etc iv always found that it you start low and carefully, almost seemingly too low, the gains you make are small but quick, before you know it you're doing much much more and well without injury 👍
I was a little surprised to be fair 😅
hey I see my mates watching you as you hit the road gap!!!!
Haha no they had gone elsewhere I was solo but plenty of young guys to watch over me 😀
Sorry I miss read, thought you said my mates 😂
That’s cool! I ride flyup loads and have never seen a deer there begore
Sick spot!
It's well recommended 👌
Hi mr d
You Mad Man !!!!!!!
