Great to see. Dyfi is my favourite place to ride. I don't think Slab Track is getting ridden as much - looks a lot rougher these days. Was there a couple of weeks ago and the steep rock drop into the 90 degree left hander looked unrideable on my son's GoPro. Kudos for getting down it as smoothly as you did. Then you're straight onto the slab...

"I'll go steady'ish" The biggest lie in MTB history 😂 Absolutely pinned bro 👊
Great Riding and Dyfi is such an amazing place and pretty brutal! As Bikeparks go it's one of the best in Europe let alone the UK !

It's noticable the agility of the bike is still really surprising you. Talk about it after every wiggly section and at the same time, you seem far more impressed with high speed sections than you are on longer, more stable bikes haha. Must be a fun ride!

Dude you must have been F-in BLASTING that big step up/table top with the taller lip in the first few minutes of the video. Seemed like you were up there for a few seconds haha. The INSURGENT has some serious pop and agility for a longer travel coil sprung bike in my opinion.. Cheers man, enjoying these videos of you on the EVIL!!

Loving the footage but what happens at the end of the slab track? It seems to cut to another track before we see if you make it! First time at dyfi last week and it's an awesome place, broke my hand and did my AC joint but I'll be back. Never attempted the slab track as we advised not to given how wet it was
noice video sir keep it coming, generally rocks slabs when wet, almost unrideable in downhill, tires can bearily grip.

Have you ridden Dyfi? I’m old too and avoid gaps these days ‘cos the bones brake much more easily (I’ve found 😂), but there are hardly any actual gaps there and a lot of the big jumps have two ramps, with the easy one shaped to land anywhere your courage allows, including no jump and keeping your ‘pace’. THE most progressive park in the U.K. to spend 2 days at!
Great to ride ‘on board’ in those conditions. That frame’s interesting. Your ability to buy a few frames to explore the market is a break through. Tommy’s Coal seems interesting and possibly rides similarly? Still hoping you choose to try the new Orange multi link and get a chance to buy a big Atherton (the 170?). In fact, why not hit up Joe Nicklas (sales and runs the demo business there) or Gill Harris (head of communications) for a demo day - other ‘well-knowns’ have managed that with a bit of YT footage arriving here as a result…😢

How does the evil feel suspension wise? Mostly plush, but also supportive for the bigger hits?
@LewisBuchanan

Not so supportive in bike hits, quite easy to max out the travel in the rear. Maybe a stiffer spring was needed
