Are you on a woman shopping bike? If so, you rode it like a woman who has one oversized bollock 🙂

Your arms look like they're made from rubber on the third video, Very strange.
Nice vids though, looked like good fun.

Nah. That one stayed in the garage for once Rob. This bikes more of a beach cruiser.

Oh and my one bollock's oversized due to slamming it in the fridge door too many times. 😯

Though it best to avoid jumping with folks stopping mid trail without warning. 😉

I did think I might be launched into orbit...

Edit.

Rorschach.
I think you're the guy i was talking to on the ride out along the lane?

Nice videos, although you appear to stop at 0:15 on video 2, or is that just someone making you look rather slow!?

It's a fact of life that no matter how fast you think you're going there will always be someone that will blow by you given the right conditions.
I think I can live with being overtaken by one geared full suss rider on one descent. 😆

No, it's an enduro, loads more 'have a go heroes' than a real race 😉

Looks like some great riding though!

Thankfully i don’t make an appearance 🙂
As has been said a really good event again, made even better by not chasing people and crucially getting the flapjack/cider/riding ratio about right.

You speeded them up! You can't ride that fast on a SS hardtail when there are so many full sus riders about wearing armour!

Had to spread myself on the floor, just watching that gave me an attack of vertigo. Which I can tell you is a real PITA if you're into mountainbiking.
Don't it make you wonder how come they got so far ahead in the first place?

co_k ! plenty of us could of ridden the tech bits like that but it is just to easy for you or the people you pass to make a little mistake and it would be carnage 👿

It might be a race to some but for our group it was a great weekend away with some partying and some riding. 😆

They got ahead as we were on a social ride with a few stops for booze/food/chats/pisstaking. That and having to wait for the 'tollah. 😉
Whyte1.

If you don't like folks passing you either ride faster or don't enter events with hundreds of other people. 😉

i never got passed once on the way down i did pass a few myself though but in a slightly more thoughtfull manner , plenty passed me on the way up as it happens .
Can you not see the damage you could of caused somebody it's called the Dyfi Enduro not the singlespeedstu show .

Events with hundreds of other people are not the place to show off your skills 😉

There is always carnage at the Dyfi - MTFU of go home.

Maybe the wide lense angle on the camera makes the gaps look smaller than they are.

I only had one comment about an overtake all day and he was just dazzled by my mince to the power of radiator skillz. 😉

Besides that i know most of the trails quite well from doing british championship endros in there quite a few times (so know where the other* lines are).

*not blindley following the person in front.

Good vids. I was worried I was going to be on one as one of the mincers, as I saw you several times round the course. (Bl00dy nice bike you've got there BTW) But I can honestly say I rode every single bit, so no mincing here. 🙂

couldn't see anything wrong with your passing, as most of it was on the dirty line. surely if you've entered that kind of race then you (me) gotta expect to get passed at some point?

Oh BTW I apologise to the guy and marshal I slammed into at the bottom of the World Cup descent. I got carried away but didn't see people standing at the bottom until the last minute. I managed to drop most of my speed but it was a bit of a close call 😳 I did apologise at the time (twice I think) 🙂 Lovely descent 🙂

Indeed it was. I hate riding in the same line as the person in front of me.
Leaves you with nowhere to go if they **** up/ mince a bit.

You know, my first thought watching the vids was "why don't more people getter wagon wheels?" (or 650bs for the vertically challenged).
