What do you think of Ella's mindset?
Defo focused on what she wants wish her all the best 👍🏼
A wonderfull woman 🤘🏻
down to earth, realistic, committed, mature, enviable.
Brillant, hope you can get her on the channel again to give us ladies some pointers
#GMBN Ella's energy is infectious. Inspirational to watch and will be rooting for her all season.
Good on her, she’s living the mtbers dream
GMBN should submit 6:21 to Friday Fails.
She a tough rider! Quite the inspiration. Best of luck in your career and future
It takes Ella Conolly to make Neil Donoghue look like going at a normal speed rather than being super fast as usual (despite the fact that he still is super fast). That's a compliment for both :). The very best wishes for good luck to Ella for this EWS seasons, looking forward.
Cool girl, very sympathetic. Also very nice trails there! *Cries in Dutch*
Thanks GMBN for highlighting the shredding skills that Ella and other female riders bring...the entire MTB community benefits from more inclusion. Also for not editing out the parts where things go a bit sideways...it seems many riders only want viewers to see their perfect moments, where Ella's showing the genuine experience...the big sends and the crashes that, at some point, are going to accompany them. Very glad to see her laughing afterward with bike & body still intact! Ella's a super-skilled rider with a great attitude...looking forward to seeing more of her riding and upcoming wins! :)
She's awesome! Hope she continue to do good in races!
great video, thanks GMBN🤙🏼 these one-on-one Pro rider videos are really awesome, so hoping you’ll do more of these formats in future🤩
Speaking to current and up-and-coming athletes in all disciplines would make a fantastic series…giving the riders a bit of support, and (I imagine) getting more younger folk interested in competition
What a legend 👏🏼 great rider defo one to watch out for go on gal 🔥🤙🏼
Impressive young lady, such a great outlook. All the best to her on her future endeavors
Wow what a great mountain biker and person, she’s a ripper!
This trails, this girl and this bike are amazing beautiful 🥰❤️
Great video , Ella definetly a future Champion, great mindset and great rider
That bike and body separation is real!!! What a technician she is!
Just excellent!
Looking forward to seeing this bike on the trail. It's a sick looking bike and sadly wasn't available when I needed a new bike.
Ella on great form this year
Does anyone know which trail this was shot on? Would love to see some more footage and perhaps even visit it some day! Ella's skills are sick and she's a beaut too!
Beautiful bike ❤️
Go on Ella 👏👏👏👏
great footage of the crash!
She‘s really cool. I wish I had that confidence. The colour of her bike is great. There should be mir bike colours like that and not only black and grey.
You have missed: ugly green, shitty yellow, pale purple, greyed blue, tasteless blue.
For example Nukeproff colors are not pretty bad, but old bikes was with bright colors with great contrast, it was cool to look at that bike. Where bright yellow with black background, orange, red and others have gone? Market really buys only black-white bikes? And now we have borring coloring, but good geometry.
@@alexyaremchenko4239 Absolutely right. Where ist metallic emerald blue/green from my 1992 beginners hardtail today? A 1000€ option for a custom frame.
Nice run 🤘🏻
Luv u dear ella.. 👍🏼🚵♂️
Not often you see someone ride a bike as smoothly and nicely as Neil on the tech. Just floating down the trail
Nice send Ella.
Riders of the 90’s paved the way for this…. Now you can make a good living out of it !
Great gal!
RAD video/interviews! That bike is purdy too.
I think Enduro riders are still holding back from armoring up their bodies thinking it restricts their movements but it will improve confidence knowing you can push a bit harder with protection . No I can understand the pedal up is not that comfortable with a sufficient amount of protection but I think you can take it off and pack it up with you and put it back on going down hill . Baseball players started putting arm protectors on their lead arm when hitting so to protect it from getting hit from a pitch and with wearing it (which may not be comfortable) helps with protection from serious injury to the arm and gives confidence staying in the batting box with less fear which helps performance . If I went over the bars like she did in the video in my rock infested land It may have been broken bone time for me
They do for EWS! the protectors used in EWS are not that different than DH WC just no elbow pads. They are riding at home so more on a chill ride, and the open face pretty sure its GMBN fault for wanting to show face for views and for the interview.
@@madeiradriftin4429 Being from the highlands, I doubt you'll see full faces even on the most gnarly terrain around here, other than FW World track. Reason being is that climbs are usually tough and long, and the woods are dark and hard to see in. In addition, the trails are mainly slow-ish tight tech rather than fast plow-like trails you see in France, Austria etc.
I think I’m inlove
Where r these trails I live near Inverness so I think I’ll be close but then it depends if u have gone somewhere else then it’s ok
what size are the brake discs?
Squeee! My local!
I wish i lived near area like that...
I do ! I’ve lived in Inverness for 25 years , been cycling all over the area and I don’t know where these trails are ! But I’ll find out soon.😎
@@dukekaboom4105 The Mast @ Craig Dunnain duck pond.
@@laurynasjagelo5075 . I’ve been at the mast before but these looked different to the one’s I seen. Must be different trails, also when I rode the mast about 5 years ago they where too difficult for me at the time. Maybe I should try again. Cheers 😎
Where can I get this bike?
I wish you'd taken Blake with you, was really wanting to see what he would make of the Inverness trails.
We need the raw.
Quack! 6:01
Where is this??
Mother of Mercy she is an aggressive, coordinated rider.
What jersey is she wearing?
Hi
1:50 - 1:56
what is that additional wheel above the chainring and its purpose?
Called an idler wheel to reduce pedal kickback on a high pivot bike.
The way I understand it, the high pivot on the rear suspension would lead to back kicks from the chain to the pedals and this tries to mitigate that.
Great bike , rides smooth czcams.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L I added a bigger spring loaded seat to it . Takes a bit of adjusting cables to get brakes and shifting to perfect . I've owned quite a few bikes in the past that were absolutely uncomfortable to ride and they always ended up as garage wall decor . I'm not seeing that with this one. It's pretty light I've only ridden it a few miles but I like it . As for the pedals falling off in the other reviews , the pedal arms are aluminum along with the pedal studs look to be also . I would not overtighten them. I can see it would be very easy to overtighten them and strip the threads right off . All in all I think it's pretty good quality besides the aluminum pedal thing .
Half of my family is from Inverness and as they'd say up there... 'Her accent is no more inverness than fly to the moon!'! She clearly wouldn't call a Mug a Meg or a Cup a Cep. Regardless, she's still gained a fan because she is awesome!
she cute
Guys, don't get me wrong, i really enjoy your video's, but the first few minutes are more like advertisment for the new cannondale 😅
Because it is ;)
It is, it's how you get great videos like this, for free.
@@woodysmuddy I am not complaining about it ;)
Is it just me or are we missing an actual bike review? how does it climb, how does it handle, is it playful etc etc etc?
Plss notice me give me any bike, we can't afford to buy one
Winter?? Can’t ride a few weeks?? 🇨🇦😢🇨🇦
Say no more! Same here in Slovenia, when we get sdo much snow and brits complain about some mud!
@@MilatovichFamily Brits complain about mud??? If we complained about mud we'd never ride. Most Brits love the mud!
I couldn't help but think about the broken elbow she referred to and wonder why she is riding without elbow pads. Helmets, knee pads, and elbow pads should be standard equipment for every rider. Better safe than sorry!
she's beautiful, hehehe
So is Ella.
E
Just give us some bleak teaches. forget the EWS 😂
2nd
Give me bike plssss
3rd
4th
First
Snow and ice isn't a reason to stop riding bikes. Just take a shovel and clean the trail.
She kinda looks 12
SIMPS incoming in 3,2,1!
