Hello everyone, welcome back to the channel. We've got the crocs on, we're on the start ramp
of a brand new enormous jump line at Twisted Oaks Bike Park. They've done matters of work,
this hasn't got a name yet this run, but we're going to look at it and we're hopefully going
to ride it. The sun's dropping, it's pretty late and this video is brought to you by, drum roll
please, Squarespace, the all-in-one website platform for entrepreneurs like you to succeed
online. Let's go and look at this line. So starting off at the first drop, I might have to use Sean as
a bit of context here, it's pretty big. I reckon it's eight to ten foot from lip to landing
and about six foot high, the height of me would you say Sean? This looks really well built,
the ground's rock hard. God it's getting quite dark already, that sun when it goes behind there,
problem. So we've got a right hip and a little skippy jump, that looks really fun actually,
it's quite lippy and I've already seen, apologies for the light and the contrast,
but that is a big wooden landing that looks super blind. Look how big it is, proper bits of wood,
straight out of trees, which is where I suppose wood comes from, every time. But the takeoff
out of this feature is perfectly flat, which I can only imagine is going to give
masses of speed. Actually I can see the lip down there. So out of there, ground looks rock hard,
that's a huge lip. This is proper big and it's a dirt lip. Kind of rare to see jumps this size
built out of dirt now, there's so many big wooden, even metal ramps, but that's proper
dirt to dirt. Mark, I stood on the landing, I won't show you how I got up here because it was
treacherous, but this is a big big jump. We've got a right hip up there, into that wooden feature we
just showed you, this is a left hip, a straight jump, a bit of an angle on the lip and then I
can see the massive wooden kicker at the end. Let's go and look at that. Ground is so dusty,
it's the first week of October, second week of October. To have this in the UK,
we're pretty lucky. Twisted Oak is on the east coast of England, just next to Ipswich,
does get pretty good weather here, but it also gets quite a lot of wind and today
there is absolutely none, it is perfect. Look at that landing and look at that takeoff.
I need to get Sean to give this some scale, that is so big.
I've got the camera just in front of my face and that's how big the landing is, what the hell.
That's wild. Back up at the top, got the Tayi today, my enduro bike. There is a red run here,
which I haven't done either, apparently it's all rollable, it's really fun,
so we're going to roll down that, get warmed up and then it's on to the big black.
Oh, it's running fast.
Second landing.
Oh, it's so well built here.
Bit of a case. Yeah, butter. I'm out of breath.
How was it? It's good, Sean. The red's sick, I've actually not ridden that before. It all
works good, there's like second landings behind the tops, so you can go along, you can also case,
which is what I do and tend to do and did. We've almost lost the light, which means we've got to
go on the big line, at least there's no audience. On the topic of audience, Sean, if you're looking

actually forgotten how big this first one is, Sean. That big. What? How did that go? Again.
This first drop isn't that big, but you need a lot of speed for what's after.
There we go. There we go.
Right. A bit of progress, Sean. This one's very good, the on-off. I'm actually a bit nervous for
the next one. It's nice always to get a good view of a big jump when you're about to hit it,
but you've actually got the bridge here, which blocks your view until you're under the bridge
and then the rollers in the way. So it feels like you don't see it until you're right there, but
we're here. So we must jump. It's kind of windy. Or is that just an excuse?
Excuse. Select the gear. Add some dust. No sweat. Let's go.
That's big, that last one. That was a sick jump. This is a big jump.
Oh my God. Oh, it's dropped straight in. Here we go.
Sick jump. I had to push through it a bit though. I might do that again, Sean. That's sick.
But I tagged this, you probably saw. So I didn't get the full height on that. I tried to push
through it. Nose high to be safe. Always a good idea when doing a jump for the first time.
Let's do it again. Come on. Okay. Windsock's down, kind of.
Need all the speed here. I still tagged it a bit. That is unlimited speed for that one.
I think we'll leave it, Sean. It's almost dark, but we will be back. What a sick day. This jump
is absolutely enormous. I don't know how high it is. Probably have to go and ask Mark and he'll
tell me, but it's huge. It's one of those jumps, it's similar to the video I did at Chateau,
where you're coming at it so fast, there's a tendency to panic break. And I did do that then,
because you think no one should go this fast at a jump. But by the time you get to the top of it,
you're almost crawling and you case it. Sean's videoing me, embarrassing me.
So now he's on the channel. But thank you for watching. Twisted Oaks is sick.
This jump line was sensational. The red line was really, really good and all rollable.
It's a sick place and there's even more tracks in the trees. So we'll be back soon. But thank
you for watching. Thanks for Sean for the help. And thank you for watching. To the belly.
