  • We finally made it down to Christchurch to ride the famous CAP or Christchurch adventure park.
    Dad's Army starts slow in the skills park then moves from Blue to Black to double Black. No e bike for this trip so have flown down my Zerode Taniwha.

    As one of the head builders/volunteers of Double Vision it makes me very happy to hear your responses to the trail 😊

    That double black looked VEEERY steep in places!!

      Well if it looks steep on the gopro. Trust me it is steeper. Good fun though.

    Nice to see the army finally made it. Sorry the wind got up but you had great weather at least. The corrugations on the blues are a real treat 😂

      @MrSupermugen Před 8 měsíci +2

      absolutely mind boggling they let it get like that, CAP has to be the only place where the blues are rougher than blacks lol

    • @bestdayevermtb2
      @bestdayevermtb2  Před 8 měsíci +2

      I agree, I much preferred the blacks. The blue trails were very rough.

      @@bestdayevermtb2 do that. Summer time is always good at CAP just super dusty. There are plenty of trails in Victoria park you can use the chairlift to access too. Keep up the great vids

    So used to the super short sharp downhills at Woodhill, I reckon I'd need a hand replacement half way down some of these! Looks epic!

    A big thank you Lance for sharing this super exciting video. That park looked amazing and really exciting to ride on it . I so wanted to go down to Christchurch now to go and have a play on this park. Zack that Candale looks a awesome bike. You would never think you would see you all riding zero again. So looking forward to seeing you next Saturday night for your next adventure

      Pretty much all the guys still have steam bikes and enjoy riding them. Unless there is a hill😂

  • @simonhalliday8881
    @simonhalliday8881 Před 8 měsíci +2

    doing well on the amish bike there. i noticed the big difference you mentioned between jumping a e-bike and a steamer on the weekend, couldn't believe how much more effort it takes to clear them.

    • @bestdayevermtb2
      @bestdayevermtb2  Před 8 měsíci +1

      I really struggle now on my amish bike now. I wish I could take the ebb everywhere.

    Had a day at CAP a week or so ago, was definitely feeling my hands the next day after lapping some blue trails😂

      I was feeling the same. Would love to session Askins if it was smooth.

      @@bestdayevermtb2 Some of the jumps also need worked by an actual jump builder aswell.
      The trail has big potential but between poor jump faces and lack of drainage its a little dissapointing.

      @garethhugeharvey Před 8 měsíci

      Loess Rider is a super fun blue trail. I was there a couple of years ago and the green trails on the other side of the chair lift were WAY rougher than any of the blues.@@bestdayevermtb2

    6000 feet in the air and no brakes hes probably got something to complain about. The Captain didn't get any slower without you guys to push him along
