Bike Park Wales vs A Guy Who Doesn't Know What He's Doing (part 1)

I'd had this trip to Bike Park Wales planned for a long time. The uplift was booked and I felt ready for business.
My elbow was swollen and cut up from numerous heavy impacts, but my new elbow pads had finally arrived. Unfortunately because my elbow was so painful, I couldn't wear the pad for too long, it hurt too much.
I was riding with a group of guys I have ridden with before, Anthony, Revs, Ash, Joe and Jay. I also bumped into another subscriber called Ashley and rode with him for a while.
Riding with better riders I feel is a surefire way to put my improvement on the fast track.
Sadly even though I thought I had planned and organised for everything, what I overlooked was the sign saying half the trails were closed.
Eventually regaining my bearings, I found my way back to the uplift to begin my day of riding, and even have a drop off challenge.

    Tell ya what fella, i think i've watched all your vids now & you come along a mile from the 1st vid to latest vid dude, you've got pure determination, infact i don't think i know anyone who has more determination than yourself, in almost every vid, if there's a hurdle, you've kept at it until you did it & the outcome shows, every vid you've got better and better fella so its paid off, keep the vids coming cuz they're spot on! :) ..at times ive lol'd that much i've almost fell of my pc chair!! (i don't mean that in a bad way, even just some of the things you say are comical!!) like i say, kudos to you dude, if ever people needed to see the term "determination" your vids show it perfectly! ;)

    cheers pal. i think the reason i have a determination, is because i genuinely just want to get really good on the bike. It's a very simple objective really, and it isn't as hard as it looks because I really enjoy it. And i realise the only way it can ever happen is if i push myself. It's finding the balance between pushing myself just enough each ride, but not so much i kill myself haha Sometimes in my vids you will see me walk away from something, because I know the time isn't right, and I know i need to be patient until I attempt that obstacle I think if you find your passion in life then anyone can find an inner determination And the vids make me laugh too, i think if you can laugh at yourself when things go wrong then its all good

    Haha Kellie that was the act of desperate men, we missed the tiny little sign that had been put up at the start of the trail, and then we didn't know how to get to the bottom of the trail. We actually went round in a circle. So normally that wouldn't have been something we would have done.

    Hi Riley, I've have done a fair few cannock chase vids already, both on the monkey and stile cop, I will definitely be going back there at some point though. I just love trying new places, and finding new challenges. And to be fair the Welsh trail centers have the best mountain bike riding in the UK
