Hello everyone, today is going to be epic because we're out on a trip in the ultimate MTB tour bus here.
And for the first time ever we're using the smart car to take the bikes on to go on an
adventure and this is so ridiculous. We've got the Seasucker on the top there, we've got the bike rack
on the back, we've got the Canyon Spectral and the Canyon Torque on e-bikes to cruise around on.
I'm awesome with Alison. Hello. Hi.
And believe it or not the smart car fits in the back of the motorhome. You just press a button
in here, the bed lifts up and then you pull out these things and the car goes in. But today is
about biking, fun and hopefully a bit of surfing. So let's get in the smarty and go for a spin.
The ultimate vehicle.
There we go, all the gear is off and we are ready.
Power, power, power, power, power, power.
After a bit of a trek we're now up in this secret woods of dreams. Let's get it.
Whoa, slidey. What a dream. Wow. Let's go out there and hit another one then. You hit this beauty
and then full spine section. Alison wants to be involved in the video so she's going to ride
this scary bridge. Nice. Back up the top now. Look at this beauty of a trail. Did I hit you?
I was so lucky I hit the tree and stuff. Retake. Let's get it cleaner then.
There you go. Oh, skiing.
What a trail. Wow, that track's super fun there. Super slidey and mulch. Whoa, look at this.
Is that a terrestrial gastropod mollusk? That is. That's the Arianator version of the shell-less
species that we know as a slug. How incredible. Oh, no, don't peck at me. One of the best things
about this slug is it likes sessioning downhill. Get on the bars, my friend.
Actually, I'm not going to because someone will complain because they identify as a slug. We've
come back up to the top and I've found this super steep line that goes into some technical stuff,
so I'm going to start up there and then we'll go all the way down. Ali's going to get this first
entrance steepie. Here we go. Whoa, that is so cool. Right, then we've got this tech steepie bit.
It's like a trial trail. Huge.
Oh, there we go. That was a well fun little session here. We're now going to move on,
see what else we can find to do in Devon. I love this place. Let's hit these berms
on the way out then. Shreddage. Go on then, no braking. Oh, you braked. Little Smarties
going to have this beast on the back. There we go. Smarties packed up. This is actually the
sickest riding vehicle in the world. It's now time to go and switch bikes because we're going to go
and ride a pump track. After a quick stop at the motorhome, we have switched to the Stitch 720
snow start bike. I've got a skateboard in the back. Now we don't have the heaviness of the
e-bikes on, we can really open this beast up. We just came to the big pump track here in Braunton.
It's quite windy and cold, isn't it? Helmet's all sideways. I've got the skateboard.
You're going to blast the lap. Let's go.
We've just turned up at Woolicum Beach. Tide is out. It looks like there's some fun waves
in the distance. Alison, well, she's got the big foamy for a learning session.
I don't think I'm going to be doing much teaching because I just get so excited with surf. This is
quite sketchy, actually. We've made it down onto the beach. I've got the fun egg with me and an egg.
What an amazing sesh that was. We're now cutting everything into the
We've woke up to yet again more rain, as you can hear maybe. It's been like this all week,
just hectically rainy. Here's a mini tour of home. Well, the week of home. Have you liked the week
of home? Yeah. Look at this beast. There is a full tour video. That's the bedroom. Welcome.
Who's that guy over there? There is a full tour video online. I'll put it as a link at the end of
this, but we're actually going to get out of Devon now. It's too busy, too rainy. So we're going to
show you now once it's stopped a little bit, how I pack the car in the back. I think that's the
most ridiculous thing ever. So what you do is lower the back of the motor home. We open the
garage up, which is full of stuff. But for now, we're just going to lift the bed to get prepared
for it. So the bed is up. Now we've just got to move all this stuff. We'll come back when that's
all out. Put the e-bikes or whatever bikes you've got with you back in, because the car fits next
to it when it's already in there. Then we get these out. Then we get the car in position.
Then you grab this little thing. Connect that. Here we go. Car is in. Then you just pack stuff
We built this city on vodka, and we'll build this city.
Alison, where are we going?
Yeah. Where are we? No, I mean like, just say what we're doing. Why are we in the camper?
So with the car packed into the back of the motor home, that is unfortunately the end
of our seven day mini holiday here in Devon. That was so cool being able to test out the
full potential of this ultimate mountain bike tour bus setup. What do you reckon? That was so
rad. I was able to fit the bikes in next to the car as well. So that just means I can take the
car everywhere. So if we do a Euro trip, all the potential is ridiculous. Is this the ultimate
mountain bike tour bus? I think it is. See you in the next one.
