love how them dudes are waiting for you at the end of each section. once of the best parts of going to places like this is meeting new people who can help
Steve Watkins thanks dude. It's a lonely old place building up to a gap no one seemed to be doing. Luckily found those navy guys in the end to give me a tow!
Total respect mate, was up there last year and watched a bloke crash shoulder first into that gap jump mate... Don't think he'd ever done anything like that before, but he wanted to try it 👍🤘 you smashed it mate 👊👊🙂
Reluctant Rider Hiya Luke, the Gap jump now gone on Dai hard. It's now two drop offs, they've moved it over onto enter the dragon now mate.. we both had a cracking day though, no black routes just blue and reds today 👍 keep up the great vids mate.
this is the first video from wales that has some sunny moments and it looks so good, all the videos i've seen so far from different channels it's all ways wet or super muddy, personally i think on DH bike ull get more out of this awesome trails. hay but thats me i'm DH obsessed
Mountain Bike Pete thanks man. In this video I was using a zoom h1 recorder and rode lav mic to get the audio. Works ok but not great long term. I now have a hero 4 for helmet cam footage and for audio.
Reluctant Rider thanks for your reply mate. I defo need another device as you can hear my gimbal motor. I’m tempted to get the hero 5 session which is on sale at John Lewis for £139 at the moment and use the audio from that.
Wayne Griffiths thanks dude. Yeh there's quite a few new ones since I was there. Terrys Belly opened after I was there so there's 3 or 4 new trails so well worth another visit soon!
Reluctant Rider hi mate I watched a video you did review I g a house near now, I watched it over the weekend but now I can't go d it. Do you have a link?
Nice one. Always best having someone to tow you in. One of the main reasons I ride with other people, they will make you a better rider!
Totally agree mate! I push myself on with riding but sometimes you just need to see someone else do it or have someone egging you on.

Holy crap! Great job on going for that gap. I had butterflies in my stomach watching you go for it. Those gap jumps terrify me. Great video!
MTBing Adventures got there in the end mate. Just needed a tow from someone!
Looks like so much fun man! I’m going to have to head over there myself soon, good job on the gap!! Keep it up
I hope you went back to that gap and conquered the shit out of it! That place looks like a blast man. I love chunky technical rocky sections!
Great video and super quality! Took fair balls to do that gap!
Thanks dude. I was crapping myself!
great job on that gap mate! that instantly made you a better rider. keep it up!
Church thanks buddy. Progress, what it's all about!
Way to push your comfort over the gap! Thanks for putting yourself out there!
Steve Watkins thanks dude. It's a lonely old place building up to a gap no one seemed to be doing. Luckily found those navy guys in the end to give me a tow!
Digging your riding style man! Great vid!
Thanks Walt!
That was rather exciting to watch. Like being there myself
Thanks dude. That's the idea!
Dude that’s some epic stuff , I’ve been thinking of trying this but man you close to those trees!
Looks worse than it is because I was trying to keep up with those Navy riders.
Total respect mate, was up there last year and watched a bloke crash shoulder first into that gap jump mate... Don't think he'd ever done anything like that before, but he wanted to try it 👍🤘 you smashed it mate 👊👊🙂
Richard Wilbraham hey thanks man I appreciate that 🤘
Reluctant Rider going up Thursday with the misses can't wait... Don't think I'll do that gap jump this time 😀
Richard Wilbraham getting a tow is the way forward. Make sure you hit the jump line. The jumps are fine and it's one of best lines!
Reluctant Rider Hiya Luke, the Gap jump now gone on Dai hard. It's now two drop offs, they've moved it over onto enter the dragon now mate.. we both had a cracking day though, no black routes just blue and reds today 👍 keep up the great vids mate.
No way! What was Terry's Belly like?
Enjoying the vids.
this is the first video from wales that has some sunny moments and it looks so good, all the videos i've seen so far from different channels it's all ways wet or super muddy, personally i think on DH bike
ull get more out of this awesome trails. hay but thats me i'm DH obsessed
DH OBSESSIONS dude I was so lucky! I travelled over from Spain and you have to book so far in advance. Complete luck!
you are so lucky mate
Enduro style bike is fine. The place rides well even in the wet. We have had fun when it's been snowing even the trails are so well made.
stubbk3 I know mate. Left me for dead ay!
stubbk3 it's a great place. So well made for the British weather.
Yo. Great vid! What chest mount and camera are you using? Stability is quality. Cheers.
Jack Foxcroft hey thanks man. I use the GoPro Karma Grip and Hero 5 mate.
Love the video what gimbal do you use because the footage is amazing
Cuba Chattyman thanks man. I use the Karma Grip. Works great in Bike parks for some reason!
Great video man, I started riding about 7 months ago and I'm still scared of jumps and drops
Francisco Marquez 7 months isn't long dude. Plenty of time for that stuff!
Ha ha I'm 46 now and scared of jumps all over again..turns out we don't bounce so well when we get older ..
Nice vid man! Well done on the gap too, looks fairly big that boy! Would you mind telling me what your set up with your external mic? Cheers.
Mountain Bike Pete thanks man. In this video I was using a zoom h1 recorder and rode lav mic to get the audio. Works ok but not great long term. I now have a hero 4 for helmet cam footage and for audio.
Reluctant Rider thanks for your reply mate. I defo need another device as you can hear my gimbal motor. I’m tempted to get the hero 5 session which is on sale at John Lewis for £139 at the moment and use the audio from that.
Mountain Bike Pete I looked into that also but couldn't get a deal on the camera. That's a bloody good price!
Reluctant Rider That’s what I thought. Although last month Argos was selling them for £129! But I missed that deal.
Keep the vids coming mate!
Damn those navy boys are quick
Good effort, I didn't like the look on the black run starts. New trails opened up this week called ACDC and watts occuring.
Wayne Griffiths thanks dude. Yeh there's quite a few new ones since I was there. Terrys Belly opened after I was there so there's 3 or 4 new trails so well worth another visit soon!
Nice run. You did very well.
Brad Hutter thanks man! Took a lot of building up to the gap and then didn't feel that big!
Good content dude ! New sub !
Nice run mate. Bet that gap jump sapped every ounce of energy from ya!
It did mate. Not a big gap but a big mental game that's for sure!
Reluctant Rider still above my pay grade!
Is that 2 dropper post levers ? by the way nice video and huge send bro congrats !
No second leaves is a shape shifter. Changes the frame geometry. The gap looks bigger than it is but I was happy to hit it!
@@ReluctantRider ooo ok my bad i dind´t see it was a canyon xD
Fair play to ya mate 😎🤘
TheSimple46 thanks dude!
Had lots of trouble with that gap, will it just send you (if you have speed) or do you have to pop off to clear it?
Dave, with the rude name. Both mate. It will send you but you need some speed and the run in isn't that long. Best to get someone to tow you over.
Mate, that Trail looks bloody Nails!!! Great Vid.
Mark Collingwood pretty intense mate! I hear it's changed a bit now and the gap isn't at the start anymore.
Not sure I would have had the balls to do it Mate!
Practice makes perfect keep thinking positive
Thanks dude!
sweet french line at 3:00
MTB Scotland I know man! I turned, bike didn't. Lucky there was a gap in the trees!
What setup did you use to film this? Its so smooth!
James Horsfall thanks dude. GoPro Hero 5 and karma grip.
Reluctant Rider hi mate I watched a video you did review I g a house near now, I watched it over the weekend but now I can't go d it. Do you have a link?
James Horsfall czcams.com/video/cM1TlTvq2ms/video.html
Nice one cheers pal
Which Trail would you say is the hardest. (except the pro trails)
Ervins K I think Dai Hard is the hardest to ride blind. Lots of blind drops and stuff. That's out of the ones I've ridden.
Those navy lads didn't hang around did they. I cant believe how quick they pulled away
Neil Gooders I know mate. Gutted 😂
Cant believe you didnt pinch flat, certainly need a lawyer, but big KUDOS for taking it on and pushing your game. how was your rim by the way?
Thanks dude. How was my time did you mean mate? No idea as I didn't Strava anything.
sorry mate, I meant RIM not rime lol fat fingers haha
Ah I see. Yeh the wheel was fine, I can't believe it wasn't square after that hit!
Yeah dude made a good "twang" sound , still cool you rode it out sweet
This looks awesome, but Something tells me that this camera does this track no justice as they don't look big, but that sound tells another story
What gopro have you get and are you using a gimbal
scott bathard hero 5 (which is crap) and karma grip gimbal. I have to record my sound externally. Are you thinking of buying a gimbal?
I'd like one, but I crash a lot and would damage it
scott bathard I crash a lot too as can be seen in this video. They're sturdy things and how often does a rider land on his chest?
Good effort
Laura Coggan thanks 👍
cracking vid mate fairplay come off mine fucked my shoulder so watching videos feeling sorry for my self
Gutted mate. Get well soon and keep trawling CZcams for some MTB sustenance!
I'm not comfortable on gap jumps either.. =)
Not an uncommon thing mate. It's a mental battle!
Reluctant Rider agree
Very nice vídeo, show the real truly trail day, not the best video edited part with a peaceful music.
