Riding Fourforty bike park for FREE.

Fourforty is a bike park in East Auckland with shuttles to the top. It does however have a track that you can ride up some of the way. I decide to see how many trails I can access with my KTM e bike and whether it is worth the effort.

I'm one of those one eyed Woodhillers but been saying my lot should have a go at 440 for ages, this'll help! Would be keen to see how you dropped the bulk mate, great work!

@bestdayevermtb2 8 ай бұрын

You should definitely head out to 440. The location is stunning, the tracks are completely different to Woodhill. Will work on a weight loss video.

Yup, lots of us need to hear your weight loss tricks...most were fit and skinny once upon a time. Then life reduced available time etc. Great result and effort man. Share the journey! Likely to help and inspire some of us other aging folks...

@jeremyharris4415 8 ай бұрын

Fantastic video Lance it’s great to see you can save money at the 440 bike park. I always thought you wasn’t aloud to ride up the road etc because of their safety concerns. Has for your mow it would suit you if you shaved the chopper look off and just have a ordinary mow. Always looking forward to seeing your next video

@bestdayevermtb2 8 ай бұрын

You still can't ride up the road for safety reasons. This is why you can't get to the top. This video shows what you can access. Looking forward to my shave on 1st December. I know my wife is.😂

@bestdayevermtb2 8 ай бұрын

Must admit I was thinking if 1 or 2 people asked me to explain the weight loss I would do it. I am surprised at how many people want to know my magical solution. I have been trying for decades with no success so will make a video. This may shock you, but I found out eating less helps. Bit more complicated than that but that is it in a nutshell.

@stupidass4084 8 ай бұрын

Those who say to get fit you should lose the ebike for a normal bike should take that one step further and add weight to their normal bike. The point is fitness comes anyway and especially if you can do longer duration in zone 2&3. The ebike extends how long you can ride without fatigue stopping you riding or your enjoyment. Go E!

@bestdayevermtb2 8 ай бұрын

I agree 100%. Why don't people ride single speeds. You will get fitter and stronger on a single speed. Gears are for softies. If you sprint up a long hill on an e-bike it is definitely easier than a normal bike, but you can certainly get your heart rate right up there. I see a motor as another way of changing the resistance to pedaling. Is that not what gears do?
