- One you just HAVE to do! 1080 metres above sea level at the mountain summit. One of the most technical gnarly descents for a mountain bike! Totally epic, we got to see sunrise, and an amazing climb and ride! Mount Snowdon in Wales. We left at 4am to capture the sunrise and we were treated to an epic one, with a gnarly rocky descent!

Amazing cinematography.
The point this video makes is not just the exhilarating technical challenge of climbing and descending BUT the simple fact of the ability of ebike to transport you to the most scenic and breathtaking terrain in the most fun way. Good one Rob.
What a ride, I LOVE big mountain riding, loads of gnarly tech! Super lucky to capture this sunrise and amazing scenes in Mount Snowdon, Wales. A bucket list for me! Whats on your list to ride?
Propably Leogang and the other bike parks in the alps
Nice one, great view!!! What jacket are you using Rob?
@@hannes6114 going to leogang in a couple of weeks with the gmbn/embn bike festival. It’s going to be epic !
Do you have a public Komoot account, assuming you use Komoot…. I’d love to keep track of all your rides even if they don’t make it to the channel
Brilliantly filmed portrayal of the adventure eBikes can bring Rob ! Like we were there 👌👌
Wow, just wow. I am drooling Rob! Amazing
Your cinematography is impeccable, super impressed by the quality of your videos. Just ordered my first emtb (a trance X helped by your review). Was a bit nervous about going for it as I am a fairly fit 48 year old that generally rides on the road. But emtb's just looked like too much fun to miss out.
Dear Rob,
This is an incredible video. I watched it on my TV and I know I will have to experience it too. Great views, great camera!
Thanks for your work!
Christian
Incredible as always thank you Rob and John for taking us along.
I loved the fact that you embraced the sounds of the bike rolling down the rocks, sometimes it's just feels better without music, wise choice would i say 👏🏼
What a great video Rob a pleasure to watch ! This is exactly why I love my ebike , and your Chanel of course !!
As ever a great video. John you are a fantastic camera man I love watching your films👏 Rob cracking commentary and you almost look professional with your riding skills and you are never short of a gadget or two love it. Best time to get up Snowdonia as couple of hour's later and the downhill would be a nightmare 😉. What I like about your short films after watching you just want to get out there. Keep it rolling you are both up there with the big boy's 👍🏻
Thanks Jon, really kind! I'm lucky enough to get to go to these places that shoot themselves :)
Absolutely epic 👌🏽👌🏽🙌🏼amazing footage, great video Rob
I was relieved to see you put gloves on those oh-so-fragile hands when you were crossing the very rocky areas. When you started out without gloves, I was feeling uncomfortable for you. Still a gutsy move for you, without elbow or knee pads. You're a braver man than I'll ever be. Well done. Great video.
Hey Rob... what an incredible experience & ride! My dream someday.. as I love biking and the mountains... Thanks for always sharing such amazing videos! 👏 👍
Awesome Rob!
Morning Rob, ive walked this mountain, and what a day it was😵60 mile anhour winds rain at first then Sleat n snow right to the summit. Couldent see much views so I said I would be back again, hopefully in all her glory and see Wales for what it is😍fantastic adventure on the bike though so I mite ride instead of the walk😁👍🇬🇧fantastic video Rob, peace dude😁❤️👊stay safe🤪
Great work guys.....loved it 👍
I’m doing this in May on a conventional full sus , been planned for around 6 months. Great vid 👍
Epic ride! Epic scenery!
Incredible video and thanks for sharing such an awesome experience. Blue skies...
Amazing!
Awesome video Rob. Brings back some great memories. I did this the other way. Up for sunset and down in dark!! Was a bid made back then. The emtb has just opened the door again for an old boy! Thanks Rob.
Epic Rob
thanks for sharing 👍😉
What an amazing job and riding you guys did. Thank you for sharing it
One of your best Rob, you do cinematic very well👌
Fantastic. Thanks.
This is a great ride - I’ve done it 3x : 2009, 2010 and 2015, all on my trusty analogue 26” wheel Spesh Stumpy Evo 👍🏻
Planning to ride it next year, with my 13 year old son, on our eBikes ⚡️😊
Cool video , amazing ride and photography , and amazing scenery , and a serious test of man and machine .
Thanks for posting .
What a bike to bring into the mix.
Awesome leading edge emtb adventure + great cinematics.
Way to go Rob.
Thank you!
Great vid......as usual!
Absolutely brilliant......
Absolutely superb, after seeing this it’s on my to do list
Nice one mate love these epic vids.
That footage is brilliant and what a day for it.
Excellent video Rob, can tell a lot of hard work went into that and snowdon looked awesome 😎👍
Epic video rob
Fabulous 👌
Wow how amazing great job getting up there.👌
Waw... Amazing
what a nice video. well done
Great video both of you well done
Magnifique 😍😍
Reapect for calling it it’s native/correct name on screen when you summited! I’m Welsh and had never summited there before. I bought an ebike last summer and decided it was time. I took it to Yr Wyddfa in August. It was hands down my best riding experience to date. Epic climb, super enjoyable on an ebike, and the Ranger path back down was amazing! So intense and tech in parts, loved it! I can’t wait to go back and do it again. We also got lucky and chose an incredible morning for it. Great video, Wales has so much to offer for bikes from North to South
wow, just amazing..!
Epic video Rob
One for the bucket list.👌
👋 Absolutely amazing and lovely i can sit all day watch the sunrise and the sunset and the most lovely incredible hills and mountain view. I loved it . 👍❤️
epic mate . well done on the ride and the video work .
Incredible video 👌🏽
Those Skydio drone shots look superb, they add so much to the production value of the video
This was sick!
I can already hear the hikers freaking out as well as the Greenies due to the erosion. You want to remember YOU give way to THEM.
Thumbs up. Epic video, epic filming, epic edit more please
That looks awesome definitely need to do this..🤘🤘
Beautiful ride & nice to see Jon. 👍
No hurry, don’t scare the hikers 😁
Exactly. Its not a race. Just stop , let them pass then continue. Don't be an ass.
Excellent video. Two mates doing what they love in natures playground. What more could you want!?
I loved this video!! Think I’ll watch it again. Just love the big scenes. The filming and editing are brilliant too :). I’ve wanted to do this for years. Your Raasay video motivated me to go up Dun Caan - that was as epic as you said. Maybe this one will be next :).
This Video is Visually Stunning!!! Your soft spoken dialogue is calming throughout this masterpiece! I Applaud you Rob! The bike was the Elephant in the room!ha! ha!What balance! Great handling on those slopes! I've seen hundreds of different worldwide trails rides my favourite is Moab but thats insane Califoria is the main Mecca for decent switch back descents but I'm guessing you know this Dude!!
Its on the bucket list for this year
Land of the Gods 🏴🤘🏻
Would I struggle to go up and down Llanberis on my hardtail? I think Ranger path looked a bit rocky for the descents on a hardtail!!
Wow super cool video i been up there a few times love the place just never rode a bike up!!! This is deffo on my list buddy🤝🏼✅❤️👍🏻
Time checks out. Nice one🤙
Nice ride. Proper punishment to the bikes going down. Epic journey. Congrats.
amazing footage and vid. I have to say I did think "that's full face terrain" while you were on your way down the really rocky stuff. Wouldn't want to face plant on that surface 😮
Exceptional video Rob. Really enjoyed the spectacular scenery! It's always misty when we visit Snowdon..... 😏
Wow!
Beutiful and inspirational!
Aaaa man it looks like so much fun, and brilliant footage btw.. I was booked to do this on the same day. Marin trail friday and the beast on the Sunday, staying at the Royal Victoria. Cancelled last minute due to my friends ebike frame cracking the day before, proper gutted.
That my friend is an epic accomplishment! Surprised you chose the connected rock path when there was gravel adjacent which would have been much smoother. But being a septuagenarian, my tush does not like as many rigorous bumps as it used to. Well done - I hope you find other mountains on which to do the same.
I love riding super early in the morning when it’s still dark. It can feel special. I have 2 lights on my bike and 1 on my helmet. Love me some gadgets.
Nice! What great footage you got. I have to do that adventure now. But I need to get an Ebike lol!
Hey Rob Rides Emtb! Thanks for the cinematic masterpiece! Thanks to bike pilot for his camera and drone skills! It makes me feel lucky to live here at the base of Burke Mtn near Vancouver British Columbia Canada! Ride ride ride!
Thanks Eric as always!
Have done this ride myself on a stumpjumper back in the 90s.
It's an epic ride. Hope you enjoyed the challenge Rob!
Great stuff! Definitely one to do on an ebike if ya can too, can climb a lot!
Epic stuff, love rides like that. total chunkfest, hope you had DD tires!
I don’t get how people want to ride with no gloves. Great shots as always.
Great video, I did it in 2014 on the Hai bike nduro pro ebike, I don't think anyone had done it on an ebike before me.
Absolutely brilliant ride rob ,I’m surprised you didn’t wear gloves best wishes 👍❤️👀
Truly inspiring video Rob. Beautifully shot. Makes me want to find similar mountains near me.. (when the rain stops in Sydney Australia..).
I like the chunder sound effects of the rocks on the descent... or was that the EP8 clackn' noise? 🤣
Been meaning to do it for a while.
They’ve killed telegraph valley after the rangers - it was such a great finish to the ride - they had just sanitised it when I was last there.
It's on my bucket list too 30 years later on than my initial climb, next time on fs cyc engined e-machine, i rode up from the Snowdon Ranger side and that's a much harder climb in 1990 on a rigid Kona Explosif with rim brakes, 1.5 hours approx to get to summit and 16 minutes to get down the (Pronounced) "Cllanberis" side completely out of control brake levers touching the bars full on and we were not slowing down and i lived to tell the tale.
Brilliant content rob…… this is a bit of me….👍🏻👊🏻👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🤙🏻💪🏻🤛🏻🤛🏻
Iam so glad bike riding on mountain paths is limited to certain times of the year they are so dangerous to walkers
Even on the eeb there's still lots of "hike a bike" on the way up.
Fantastic video Rob! Did you ride the same route up as you rode down? If so it looks like some of it was pretty chunky terrain in the dark.
Great video!!! What kind of water bottle do you have?? A magnetic clip!! Super cool
Rob , It is an amazing ride, what top 3 Emtb’s would you say would of been the tool for the job in order 1 to 3 ?
Shocks must have been at melting point!🥴
Nice vid Rob. How about Mount Helvellyn or Mount Ben Nevis next. Mount Skiddaw is OK to but you can't legally ride Mount Saddleback (proper name Blencathra) as there is only a path to the summit.
Awesome video!!!!
What drone you’re using? Thanks
Now after watching this video I just HAVE to ride Snowdon.
Great vid, and as always the filming, hours of editing bring it all together. People don’t see the time & effort setting up the shots or putting the drone up with active track, not a 30 second job. Don’t know if you can add in how much batt life & total time it was to,your audio overly?
great video Pen Y Fan next ?
Did you feel that the Rail was the right tool for the job? Is hike a bike not easier on an analogue bike?
Hi Rob & Jon. I saved this video specifically to watch on Sunday morning, over coffee whilst the ladies were still in bed. As someone hitting 50 this year with a history of challenges with my back and more recently family loss and dare I say some mental health challenges that have come with that, I see myself turning the corner and ready to find a challenge to focus on. This video, in all its cinematic beauty was exactly what I needed to see today, glorious, stunning and first class. Thanks. Quick question, you chose the Ranger path to descend over coming back via the llanberis, was there any particular reason to that? Cheers.
Hey Dinos, definitely give it a go! Could go back down the Llanberis path, it is easier that way. We wanted to get some techy bike shots so decided on the Rangers on the way back down.
Im jealous
When you say "used 1 bar" and then "used 2 bars" out of how many as a point of reference? I got Kiox on one bike (no bars involved) and Levo SL (10 bars), but this was not a Specialized, was it a Shimano motor?
Good point! One bar on Shimano is 20% - so completely full is 5 bars 👍
Rob, what casing on the Schwalbe tires?
Planning to try that this summer on my cube stereo. TBH I think you could have been more respectful of the walkers on your descent though. If everyone rode like that we’d all get banned from doing it.
Really!🙄
@@shaundownes4329 yeah really
What’s a great ebike for $2000 for off road riding with fat tires used for deer hunting and camping.
Probably need A 750 watt at least.
What bike was that ?
Ps what was the charge level at the summit ?
Kellys Theos. Can’t remember charge up there but maybe around 50%
