Your analysis of the character of the trails is spot on, especially considering your limited experience of them. I love videos that have some commentary and added value. I find those where someone just straps on a go pro and rides hell for leather very boring albeit very impressive riding. I must have done Verderers over a hundred times and I never tire of it. At 73 years old my skills and ambitions are limited and these three trails suit me so I consider myself lucky that they are only 50 minutes drive away.
Thanks, Al. I really appreciate your comments, and I'm glad you enjoyed the vid. It's a great place to ride. Really enjoyed the trails.
Awesome video as always! Keep it up!
Awesome, another great video 👍🏻
Thanks, Kevin. Much appreciated.
Hey guys. I’m a new rider in my late 40’s from Sunderland. I’m finding your video’s more than a little helpful and heaps inspirational.
Got about 4 trips planned for next year already from just watching this channel alone.
Cheers and keep up the great work
Thanks Gary. Glad to be of some help. Incidentally, I work in Sunderland.
Love your vids. Keep up the great work 🤘
Cheers. Very much appreciated. Don't forget to tell all your friends about them. ;)
Come on weather! Play ball, I'm itching to get out
LOVED the napalm death reference 👌 😉
Great video! A welcome change to listen to someone's narration who clearly knows what he is on about. Informative and fun to watch. 👍👍👍
Thanks Lee. I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Despite this being my somewhat local centre and knowing all the trails pretty well,I still enjoyed watching the whole video and you picked some really fun tracks to feature
I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. I'm sure I'll be back at some point to see what else is on offer.
Great video and commentary. You can definitely get air on the Verderers safely. Just pick the right humps! Freeminers is so tricky in the wet. Try not to brake or you'll be off on those roots.
Quality vid again mate 👍
Thanks, Adam.
Great video. I’ve been at cannop cycle loads of time’s. I done bits of verderers trail but not the full trail. I’m going there this Sunday. And will do the full verderers trail after watching your video. Launchpad & countdown are awesome trails to 👊🏻
Thanks Craig. I'm glad you enjoyed it. That final descent is definitely a lot of fun. Can't wait to get back and explore a little more.
Top video as always. That place looks the bomb. So well made and laid out.
Looks like you got the weather that day as well. Keep up the good work.
Ride Safe. 🤙🏴
Cheers, Scott. There's loads to ride and it was way hot. Too hot for me. Worth a look if you're ever in that neck of the woods.
@@MeantforDescent l can relate to that mate. Not a huge fan off riding when its hot.
Where have you gone dude!
Great video! We went in the summer and only had limited time. Missed out the Verderers and just did the Freeminers trail which was great but very rooty and quite technical. Will definitely try the blue next time! 😊
Thanks, Jon. I looked at Freeminers, but a few people suggested that the Verderers trail was more fun. I still want to give it a go though.
Looks a awesome place
It was a lot of fun, and there are plenty more trails to explore too.
@@MeantforDescent hi yes ! Deffo a place to go . It’s now on our bucket list for deffo. Thank you for your vid on this awesome place to go 🤘🏻
No problem, Mel. Glad it's been helpful and I hope you enjoy it when you get there.
Oh and the lynard skynard hepled lol my all time fav. Track mate 🤘🏻
Yeah, it's definitely a classic. Way better than Napalm Death.
Great video! How was the climb back up to the top?
great video very informative i cross referenced it with another you tuber and i reckon this place is worth a visit. My partner is booked in for the basic skills course in sept while she is doing that i shall be checking out these three trails then in oct were both doing the ist flow course and we will hit the trails again then its off to Bike park wales for the weekend
She has a Vitus Nucleous and I have the Sentier both are running tubeless, would you say the grip[ is good?im on magic mary & hans dampf she will be on maxxis
subbed keep up the good work dude
Another great video mate. Looks like you were in the USA riding not England. Thanks
Thanks, Tom. It was a bit of a scorcher. Too hot for me, anyway. Glad you enjoyed it.
Any new video's?
Hi Simon. I'd really hoped to get a load of new videos out over the summer, but with one thing and another, mainly health and fitness levels, that hasn't happened. Determined to get back at is as soon as possible, though, so keep checking in.
more vids!?!?
Yes, there'll be more over the summer.
@@MeantforDescent Awesome, I look forward to them
None so far 🤨
