5:44 So that was where I was supposed to brake. I started braking too late on the next turn and ended up washing out

Going for the first time at the weekend, your videos have been a great help to a newbie like me

mad shit

fun vid-need to get my go pro out again. I pretty much never tried the blue until I took the wife out on our HTs. The monkey only has one section open afaik as of Saturday. So Sunday we tried the blue. It’s good for the family then I can drop into the reds and meet her at the end. If you’ve not yet nailed that rock climb a year on (only just seeing your vid). Try it seated Saddle up. there’s 4 steps realistically, the rest just pretend it’s flat. First two minor steps mini-wheelie/unweight the front / and the second two bigger ones at the end you’ll need the legs rested (by sitting) to wheelie lift the front end and standing drive once the front wheel is over. No reason to drop post or stand for 99% of it. As with all rock gardens I guess it’s just pretending they’re flatter than they are and pick out the actual steps cause the tyres will bridge most the gaps. That’s what I’m feeling the wife at least :D Cool vid though.

Great video

Great video, it looks nice and quiet, we’re you there really early? What time does it open?

Not ridden kielder since the 90s on my old Raleigh Mustang long before the trails were put in.. I often ride Hamsterley and Chopwell but plan to ride kielder this year.

interesting..

Wussy!! Check this... oh and the btw we need more trail dog video. - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6uDncd029GlimQ.html

Brave to stop on a trail!

It's not really a Black, it was built as part of the world cup X/C track. They spent a fortune on it, I think it only ran 2 times? A total waste of money, and it's not even maintained now! Best sticking to the off piste if you want what should have been built. A massive lost opportunity at Dalby.

This is a great video, I loved the commentary too . Thanks 😊

Wheres wussy gone??? Iv been low ebb and not ridden for a few months, came back and no wuss videos!!

That's a black?? Think the red at Gisburn is worse...

I've just come back from a week down there, sad to say that many chunks of the red are closed after storm damage. Nice riding, its not an easy trail at all.

The red trail is a good fitness run. Sprint as fast as you can. Yes those roots on the climb in the wet winter are a challenge.

Brilliant video, so little about training your dog for this on YT. First bike ride out with a lead with my dog and i had to remove the lead from the cassette several times as he kept swapping sides lol .. I found sticking to the same route to start with, got him off the lead very quickly due to the familiarity. I genuinely think he loves it ! Looking forward to seeing how your dog progresses!

😂😂👍🏻

Black Trail. Awesome Sauce Wuss!

Send it wuss!

He wants you dirty lol

Noharm we all come off Wuss. Gte up and try again. Look into corner, NO front brake... feather it.. proud of ya.

Yay Awesome Wuss!! Bless her.

Great stuff Marie, i would love a trail dog as i ride alone a lot. What i would love even more than a trail dog is a trail cat!!! Now that would be something....and when the cat gets tired it could just jump onto my back and hold on and look over my shoulder where we are going.......and when "sending it" hahaha! Think i would need some thick leather like material on my shoulders though lol

New name for the loop......swishy!!!

Vera Lynns looks a bit rough though!

I am liking the look of all these trails, maybe boring to more seasoned riders but i like the swishy smooth even though i dont have a gallbladder to rattle loose any stones in now lol

Hi Marie, good to see you back, hope you are both well! Chicken Vinda blue looks great and so does London Borough of Islington!

Firstly this is in Rugeley and NOT Cannock (Check address of both Birches Valley and Go Ape). Cannock Chase is an area , which doesn't just mean Cannock. Actually the town of Cannock is two towns over, so geographically not even close to these trails. Cool video, but growing up in the area, really hate it when people keep referring to the area as Cannock. Is, never has been and hopefully never will be.

Nice 1 Wuss. Swishes!. Rummblies! :P Iv never enjoyed Dalby I feel it needs a good few downhills. Great video though Wuss.

Yip the Wuss is getting better and more confident on every vdeo. Only thing missing now....... TRAIL DOG!!!!! do it wuss.... do it... Very relaxing Video thanks Wuss just too long to watch it all. Smaller chunks for me.!

Just seen you at dalby and your form is great from the back

This video has convinced me that this is where I'm going this weekend! I just got an E-Bike so this should be a good test

lol entertaining :P

not a fan of trail dogs to be fair always frightens me they may run infront aof a bike

Is it plugged in this time lol... What is your accent sounds like a mix of Yorkshire + Isreal? +Greece? like it.

I bought my hubby a Moby for Xmas a few years ago, it's brilliant. Used it today after a filthy ride and gave the clothes a quick hose down too. Have fun with it!

Ha ha.. Plug it in..

I got to meet the legend herself today at parkwood very nice lady. Took time out to speak to me and my mate, And a massive thankyou to Mathew for the tips (sorry i was gassed out 25 miles yesterday) we took everything on board, The best of luck to the both of you for the future.

Great video wussy.

Thanks for sharing your experience. By the way what camera did you use to record it? GoPro?

One of the most entertaining channels on KZfaq, we’ve managed to catch-up on 90% of your videos and enjoyed them all. My wifey shouts tickle tickle everywhere now LOL. Your channel deserves many thousands of subscribers!! Thank you!!

Yay its the Wuster. Great to meet you both. 1.08 i made it into ya video in carpark :) Dropper post Karchunk lol. Another Wussy word. Ya did well on the droppy drop :P ya riding def improved. Did you ride an EMTB at the test?

Hi Marie, that wiggle after you did the slope/drop haha. My pulse went up and i was swearing for you too as you approached the other very rocky and very vertical drop.....when you were first looking at it i was like.....omg.....no way!! I don't think i have enough years left to acquire the necessary skills and sphericals to attempt vertical rocky drops like that one...at least not without some serious coaching and building up to features like that. ....and a bucket load of amino acids for my emotional and mental strength! Healing takes longer as you get older when you come a cropper haha Although i'm quite confident in my abilities on flowy blue trails (and the kit i have presently reflects that) i seriously need to get some knee and elbow protection for rougher more feature packed trail riding! I have a great posh poc helmet though its only open face, some mx gloves(from my motorbike days which are perfect) five ten shoes etc, still have all my motorbike gear, full helmet, armoured jacket, armoured trousers and armoured jeans and all the thermal gear and waterproofs... but they maybe slightly overkill haha...and way too heavy for riding on cycles with :) I think along with at least knee and elbow pads i could do with getting a full face helmet and some good goggles/sunglasses too....i have some clear riding glasses which i use when riding my hybrid when fitness/road riding, and some polarized amber fishing glasses i actually bought for driving many moons ago which are fantastic for colour and contrast highlighting but not sure they'd be up to getting hit with stones and anything trails could throw up at them. ....i cant imagine i'd get hit in the face with a fish whilst out on the bike, you never know though eh? haha Update on the healing after my goinkbladder surgery 7 weeks ago today, everything has gone well so far, just the remnants of one dissolvable stitch to go and that will be the end of that, seem to be ok with eating thankfully so i can tuck into fish and chips, pizza and other fatty foods now and then without too much worry, for some people digesting fats after the removal of the goinkbladder can be problematic and whatever they ate can "pass" straight through them, i have been told if start to have trouble then taking bile salts with food can help with that. So far i probably wont have to. Too much information haha. i've been out on the bike a few times locally for short rides but have been busy working through Ramadan, its a busy time of the year for us taxi drivers when many of the Asian lads disappear to break their fast around sunset, glad its over with now and looking to get out on some trails when the weather is nice..... i'll be soon off up to Parkwood, rother valley and lady cannings too, i'll have to re-watch a couple of your videos because there were some great flowy trails you've been on i would like to try too, if forget which ones they were. Even though its local to me i'll be giving the teeth, bone, brain, sinew and goinkbladder shaking pub run of Grenoside a miss haha, it was after riding the pub run last September that my goinkbladder issues began, think i shook the goinkstones loose i didnt know i had back then! Having said that i may go on the Greno pubrun again but make sure i have my tyre pressures and suspension set up appropriately, it probably makes a huge difference! :) Along with it being 7 weeks today since my surgery, it was ten years ago today May the Fourth 2012 my dads funeral up at Grenoside crematorium overlooking Sheffield....Qi-Gon-Jim.....he went out like a Jedi!!.....which helped at the time, and still does, due to a flood of other synchronicities and shared experiences we had together back then and with my son through his childhood....and he is soon to be 26yrs old a week tomorrow, where does time go? :)

Great to meet you both. Good video... Ha ha I didn't bring my pedals.. Naughty.. ;) emotional stability ha ha. Love it.

Don’t worry 😉 There is always next time, if you feel you want to tackle the feature 😊 Maybe your turn marks will even still be there 🤙

Gave ya a shout out.. hope it helps ya, Will do a proper video on channels i love next month. Great to meet you. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdeSq5yL19u2fGg.html

How long have you been riding?

A rapid dismount! I feel your pain, I hope your bruises weren't too bad.
