Chasing her down the most fun MTB trails on earth! I ride with Samantha Soriano at Highland bike park, USA on our Canyon bikes and have the most fun ever on these amazing trails, would you ride here??
I'm out in USA with Sam 2 because we were shooting with GoPro for an upcoming video but we ended up having some spare time after the filming to create our own video so we rode some of our favorite trails and bring you along for the ride! Samantha is my team mate on Canyon and she is riding the Torque and I opted for the slightly more chuckable Spectral bike which I love doing manuals and whips on. We start the video on a crazy fun blue run before getting into the black run at the end! Could you manage all of these?

Hello everyone, today is going to be epic because I'm out here at Highland Bike Park
in the US of A with fellow team mate Sam Soriano, who I personally think is one of the best
female riders in the world.
Yeah, you're the best.
What are we doing today?
So we've been out here for the past week filming with GoPro, they've got some super exciting
stuff coming so stay tuned.
We've been loving our time here at Highland and we're going to be taking you down some
of our favourite trails.
Yeah, so let's get straight to the top and shred it!
Can you keep up, geezer?
Well, I don't know.
Oh, hold on.
You're actually like annoyingly fast though, aren't you?
Me?
Yeah.
I don't know if I'll be very fast today.
I'm not very aerodynamic.
Ah, I see.
Right, come on then, Sam.
Straight in to Cat's Pond.
We're like Sam Squared.
An obscenely sick trail here.
Oh yeah, got the manny.
Boom.
Quite sun spotty at the moment, but still dreams.
Oh my word, it sneaks up on me.
And there's some wind in the air.
Oh my word.
Oh yes.
Wow, she's flying.
Whoa.
Yeah.
All right, let's see if this double's going to happen.
Oh my god, she's pulling away.
Not going to happen.
Whoa.
The sun spots are quite hard to deal with there.
Potato chip rock.
Whoa.
Oh my god.
That is amazing.
That's just a blue.
That's insane.
You're the best.
That was fast.
First run, flying down.
I got a little loose there.
I like slid on the sand.
Yeah.
I like went to pull for the double.
Oh yeah, I saw, yeah.
Nice like catching and stuff.
That was great.
Should you lead?
Yeah, I should lead.
Yeah.
Good idea.
Hey, but don't go.
Don't go too fast because you pull on me.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Here we go then.
Snail pace.
Lower cat pull.
Straight into it.
Wow, Sam rides the corner so fast.
What?
Land in a mani.
Yes, please.
There he goes.
A little bit of mani going on.
Oh no.
New gap unlocked.
We got a cool option up here because you can like link into another trail.
So you go high.
Boom.
Oh, she's overtaking.
Oh yes.
Huge overtake.
What a trail.
Let me try and get this mega mani on here.
Go, go, go.
That's amazing.
That is amazing.
That was so good.
That's got to be the best blue on earth.
Yeah.
100%.
The corners are insane.
Back up for more.
We're now over at the next sickest trail.
This is Hellion.
We're going to go top to bottom.
It's going to be the best.
I'll lead on at the top and then halfway you can go in front.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Epicness.
Right, so I'm in front then, aren't I now?
Yeah.
Cool.
Keep up then, woman.
Even though you'll be like so close telling me to move.
Keep up with those funny legs.
But you have to nose bonk out of this thing.
I can't.
Just another try, yeah?
I won't see anyway because I'm in front.
Okay, but you need to, okay, so I go up and when do I pull the jack?
You sort of do it like, it's like you go sort of instantly.
Instantly?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right, well, we'll see how it goes.
Okay, right.
Let's do it then.
I'll try my best.
Here we go.
Hellion.
Off we go.
Little nosy bee.
Manny, this wooden feature.
Here we are.
Whoa.
Love Manny's on this bike.
You have a little cruise into this zone and then more Hellion.
Nosey.
Oh, it's the best.
That's small and suey.
Step up.
Big drop.
There he goes.
Pulling away.
You'll modulate your speed through here a bit.
You'll over clear some stuff.
Amazing.
That's a good trail.
Bit of an overshoot.
I'll have a little break.
You pulled on me so bad.
Wow.
That is fun.
That's so much fun.
What a trail that is.
I did like the smallest suey.
Oh, you did it on that gap?
Yeah.
Wow.
That's actually real cool.
I do need a wee though.
Cut the camera.
Let's vlog it.
You can go in front then.
Lower Hellion.
Let's get it.
Ready for shreddy.
Have fun guys.
See ya.
Straight into it.
Perfect dirt conditions.
Double onto rock.
Wow, that was close to the tree then.
Trying to see if I can do this, the old pedal.
This is my favourite job.
Just unbelievable fun, this track.
Let's get a boost on here.
Massive.
Right, let's go fast.
I want to try and suey this.
Oh no, I'm catching.
Oh no.
Let's mani it then.
Pull out of that.
So dreams.
So good.
Love that hill.
That's my favourite step down.
Yeah, steezer.
Straight into the new feature.
Absolutely brand new.
Like what more could you actually want, hey?
So good.
Little sliders.
Yes, Sam.
Last bit of trail.
Oh, there's so much wind.
That was windy.
That was so hard.
Wow, after four days of non-stop riding, our arms are dying.
We're both so gassed.
Good one.
So good.
We've got time for another lift.
Let's do it.
Oh yeah, look at that swatch.
That's nice.
Right, come on then.
Back up.
So far, we've shown you two of our favourite trails of the trip.
We're now going up to show you the final beauty of a trail, which is absolutely epic.
There's actually loads more available here, but it's not open yet.
Not all of the trails.
They've got a slope-style line, huge jump lines, loads of cool stuff.
And there's a load of other trails we didn't show you that you will see in the GoPro thing that's coming soon.
Anyway, let's get up to the top and do the final beauty of a trail.
Let's go.
Oh, that was a good one.
It's now time for Bonesaw, which is the dream.
I'll lead you in, yeah?
Toe you into it.
Yeah.
Come on then, Sam 2.
Are you ready?
Ready spaghetti.
Okay, here we go then.
Let's get it on.
So you start on the same trail as before.
Nosebonk that.
Whip on there.
Slider that.
Manny this.
Manny that again.
Oh, I didn't quite make it.
Then we're going to turn off here.
Straight into Bonesaw.
Into Bonesaw.
You ready for it?
Let's get it.
Wooden feature.
Boom.
Huge drop.
Got some nice berms.
Nice corners.
A bit of tech.
Some good tech action.
Then this drop's so fun because you've got to drop down.
You went so slow on that.
What a section.
Actually unbelievable.
What a trail.
Double that.
That was a new one.
We've got this sick hit.
Yes.
Then you fly out.
Oh my God.
That hurt my wrist.
I hit that a little bit quicker than maybe I should have done.
We were lucky enough to squeeze in an hour of riding then.
We've already got to pack our bikes.
I've got to drop Sam off at Boston Airport.
Then I'm going to have seven hours to wait until my flight.
We're going to do some urban free ride.
There we go.
Sam's been dropped off at the airport.
Good session.
I'm going to continue the fun now in Boston.
See you.
We are now solo adventuring in Boston.
We're headed to Salem to find some witches.
It's like 15 miles away.
It says it's an hour drive.
Let's see.
Could be quite interesting.
Off to Salem we go.
Just arrived in Salem.
Got the bike out of the truck.
We are going to explore.
See if we can find any witch stuff.
Oh yeah.
We can go.
Here we go.
Witch house.
It's not that exciting really, is it?
It's just a kind of old house that isn't really that old.
We're just going to cruise around looking at random bits and bobs.
Look at that.
Nice.
Look at this thing.
Beast.
Wow.
Fun little houses.
All of these homes look so old.
But compared to the UK, it's not really old at all.
Pretty rad to have a look though.
Oh yeah.
This is where all the witches are.
For sure.
Alright.
We're headed into Boston.
Should be quite cool.
We're going over some bridge.
I've just been driving around for like an hour trying to find somewhere to park.
It's so hard to move around here.
I found a random little spot that probably I can't stay in for long.
But I'm just going to throw on the go.
Blast a bit around Boston to say I've been able to actually do it.
And come back and hopefully the car's still here.
So let's give it a shred right here, right now.
Oh, it looks like a movie set up here.
What's this zone?
What a mess.
That was pretty sick.
Let's try and find some skyscrapers.
Nice.
Looks pretty cool.
That's pretty rad just lit up there.
There we go.
Made it to downtown.
Spotted in Boston.
Right, let's go and find the car before it gets towed away.
We've also got new colours of the Orch Rad merch.
Available now.
Check it out.
Link in description or up here on top of the page somewhere.
Small dog.
Is it still there?
Yes, it is.
Right, let's get out of this horribly busy place.
See you in the next one.
