Brady s Take on Trails EP 7 | Hotbox, Nelson

What's up guys, welcome back to another video. Today I'm in Nelson and we're filming another episode of Brady's Take on Trails. Today we're going to be riding Hotbox which has just been rebuilt and I've not ridden it since so I'm really looking forward to riding it. There's a good mixture of tech and flow so I hope you enjoy watching. Okay here we have the first section of line choice. We've got a low line and a high line. The low line then goes into a wide line coming into a left-hander whereas the high line puts you low and squares you up into the corner. So two options. The high line is probably quicker to enter but the low line is probably quicker to exit. I'm going to do the high line just because I think it's a bit more fun. So this is the bottom of the section. We've got the high line which comes into the inside line and we have the low line which comes into the wide entrance to this turn and you carry much more extra speed with that wide line but this inside line is pretty fun too because you can just drift around it. Okay here we have kind of a classic Nelson turn which a lot of people can struggle with a little bit. Mainly because the exit is quite flat and quite tight and it's easy to get drawn into just going low coming in and that tightens the corner up even more and makes you have to turn where the corner's the worst. But what I try and do when I'm riding on these sorts of corners is try and set up as wide as possible to open up the turn and get the turning done as early as possible so that you can just carry speed through that flat section where you're normally trying to turn if you go low. On this corner there's a couple of chunky routes up on this high section which can make it even harder. I'm going to try and do an extreme version of setting up high and you can pretty much come right up almost gap over these routes and land right up here and then you've done most of your turning by the time you're up here you can just roll out. Okay here's another section where there's a little bit of line choice. I just rode the main line which pushes you into this awkward tight corner but just back up there there's a little high line you can do which sets you up and allows you to take this nice straighter line through the middle of this section so I'll just try that now and see how it goes. We've got another classic turn with a pretty flat exit on it which is quite tight so on this section I'm actually going to try another little sneaky high line come up on this nice smooth bank here and then drop into the corner at the last minute that's just going to like open up the arc of the turn and allow me to carry a bit more speed out of the exit and just ride it a bit more smoothly. Here we have yet another example of quite a challenging corner and it's been made harder by people skidding down the inside you've got this bit of a ledge here separating the like main line to the optional kind of like high setup so I'm going to try and do this high line and I feel like that's the way to make this corner ride the nicest but it is quite committing so yeah a bit challenging but we'll give it a go. So I'm just having a little look at this section and spotted a potential gap so I'm just going to test it and see if it works. Yeah so that that gap was actually quite smooth quite happy with how that went um yeah I'd recommend giving it a go thumbs up. This is the single track sisters A line as you can see from this pretty cool sign someone's put a lot of effort into that so obviously we have the A line that I've just talked about which actually is I'd say the best line because it sets you up really well into that corner at the end uh it's also pretty direct so that's good but we also have a couple other lines we've got midline here and there's a low line which starts way back there and just stays low all the way to the corner so few options. It's pretty off camber so I think I might just pull up. All right that's it for the video I hope you enjoyed the line breakdowns hope you found them helpful don't forget to subscribe the more subscribers I get on this channel the more I'll be able to do videos like this so yeah don't forget to click subscribe and I'll see you in the next video. Cheers!
