We're out on a mission, me and Tom Cardy.
We've got our jump bikes, we're going to be exploring in London at some iconic spots, starting with this one.
It's like this DIY skate park, it looks amazing, look down there.
First feature of the day then, this little hip corner.
It's super fun, you can blast, boost, trick, whip, whatever you want to do.
Let's get it.
Oh, that's so fun.
Oh, nice.
Cards is in.
Okay.
We're going to do a little follow run.
I've got the GoPro on, there's a skinny section, and then both flare here.
We're just going to try the flares first.
I'll do a whip there.
Okay, yeah.
And you can do a flare.
Okay.
Good, well that's decided it then.
I'm probably going to do exactly the same, so.
Alright, let's give that a go.
Lead on.
Here we go.
Trial section.
That's cool, isn't it?
Did the flare work alright?
Yeah, it did.
I just went way faster and just pulled right out the top.
I reckon you should do another one.
Are you going to go higher?
I mean, if you want, you should try another flare.
They're actually really good on there.
Yank it.
I think I didn't commit.
You alright?
Yeah, all good, yeah.
I didn't commit.
It went easier than before.
Yeah, I know what to do now.
Look at this.
On the go, it's sick.
I was running around like a sort of headless person.
But, here it is.
Next up, let's try this wall.
It's a pretty interesting feature at what seems to be a DIY park.
It's pretty thick, though.
I don't think it's going anywhere.
Oh, look at that X-up still in the background.
Right, let's give that wall a hit.
Thought of a new one.
Wall.
This is a well good session.
Nice X-up out of a wall ride.
I've not even done that before.
I like it.
It's like an old school jibby session.
I'm really enjoying it.
No quirky bits, just shredding.
Let's try a downside footie on the wall.
You go opposite air.
One foot touches somewhere there.
Hopefully, it will look good if it works out.
Let's give it a go.
This is such a good section.
The choreography worked great.
Then, there's this pocket corner.
If you go up it straight, you can actually do some pretty nice airs on it.
What a section.
That's so good.
Get used to it.
It's a nice quarter, actually.
If you pull out, it's pocketed so you don't land flat.
Sick.
That's a cool one.
That is such a fun section.
It's very, very tight.
Once you get used to it a bit, it does actually flow quite nicely.
We're stood on this super narrow piece of skate park.
Sam just spotted that you can come up and do a foot jam whip on here, which is super scary.
Because of that, look.
It's just a big drop.
That's weird from there.
I'd actually go from Cardi's way as well, I think.
My God.
I mean, it can work, but I hope he's got autographs.
No, I'm going to kill that car.
That's for Cardi to do.
Oh, yes.
Sick.
Well, this first spot delivered, didn't it, Card?
That was actually so sick.
So fun.
Just like old school vibes, shredding, finding cool stuff.
But we are in London, so we're going to go and see what other sick stuff we can find.
Let's get out of here.
Next spot is the Hackney Bumps.
This is like a random skate park with bumps everywhere.
We've got an MTB hopper ramp over there.
There's a cool feature here, which Cards is going to ride up now.
We want to go from there into the wall.
It's about a 10-foot gap onto the wall ride.
It should be quite fun.
Let's see what else we can find.
Let's give it a go.
Oh, that is so scary, though.
It shouldn't be scary.
It should be soft with that wood there.
It's not as bad as I thought.
I just should have went faster.
Well, that worked, but it was well scary.
I landed a bit low.
I can see actually where my tire went.
Realistically, we're going to want to go.
We actually want to go further that way so you don't land in the wet.
It might dissipate some of the pain of hitting it.
Oh, it's so good.
Sick.
Cardi done good then.
Big gap.
That's such a fun one.
Boom.
I love that feeling.
We've got the hopper, like I said.
This is the street edition.
I think if we plopper the hopper down there, we can do some big airs.
We might as well just flip it at least.
You can't just put a hopper up and not flip it, can you?
That would be like making pasta and not eating it.
Yes.
Hopper.
Cards is in.
Bangers.
Yes, please.
Big tuck-o.
I think it's actually made for no foot cans.
I still can't get over how sick the hopper ramp is.
You just plopper it down and hopper it.
Bangers anywhere you want.
Yes.
See?
You make spaghetti, you eat it.
You put a hopper down, you flip it, don't you?
We're going to both three it.
I said, oh, you probably can't really three it.
And he's like, not really.
But now you said it, we're both going to do it.
Why?
Wow, it's good.
Really nice.
Kind of scary because it's thin.
That's the weird thing, isn't it?
I'm going to three tuck it.
Oh, no.
To flat.
We're jamming.
Absolute jamming.
Here's another one for card eater session.
Little slidey.
Yes.
Oh, cool.
Wow.
That's quite cool, isn't it?
Yes.
This section over here is actually really cool.
It's like a little pocket, hip.
Then it comes into this jump.
And then you go into the rest of the bumps afterwards.
So we're going to have a little play.
That's well nice.
He's getting carried away, just jamming.
It's so fun.
I think into that to whip this would be incredible.
Oh, nice.
Quick whip.
Yes.
Stompy.
We've both completed the whip out.
What about bar, then whip?
Yes, very, very quick.
I think it'll work, actually.
Going to have to B, and that's it.
Just B to whip.
Oh, scary.
Yes.
Feel it.
Whip it.
Go on, cards.
Bop it, twist it, whip it, bar it.
Whip it.
Absolute bangers happening right now.
This is a fun section.
It's so cool.
We've completed that little section,
but we've actually just thought about doing a bar spin to manual.
Now, this could be very quick,
or we could be here for the next hour.
I thought that was it, first go, but it wasn't.
Classic bar spin manoeuvre.
Oh, no.
Yes.
That was so gross, but I'll take that.
Oh, he didn't even kick pedal, it's sick.
Don't say, um, like it was going to take all day.
Yes.
Go on.
Oh, lovely.
Just got a FaceTime from Jake100.
That's good, man.
He said we should come and check out this little spot.
Homemade ramps under a bridge.
I mean, it is sunny, we don't need to be here,
but it is sick, so let's do a little session on here.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
That was a good little brain trainer.
That was well techie.
Not like a proper good foot jam whip,
but I'll take that.
Pumped.
Jake's in.
Wheelie line.
Okay.
Still going.
Yes, Fleet.
That's some skills.
Oh, there's a...
Who put that bench there?
Someone put a bench in your way.
I wanted to see a death spin.
Let's see one of them at least.
Oh, the OG death spinner.
Yes.
Still going.
Oh.
Yo, that's cool though.
I like it.
Nice.
It's a lot of effort on this bike.
Yeah, right.
That was good, mate.
Thanks, mate.
Good to see you.
Yes, good to see you too.
Congrats on the little one.
Cheers, mate.
We'll link up soon, yeah?
Some Sir on action.
And yeah, mate.
MTV Sir on madness, mate.
Nice one.
See you in a bit, bro.
Right, we just had to escape the death of London.
It's so busy.
It took us an hour to get ten minutes of...
It took us like an hour to drive two miles,
what would normally take ten minutes anywhere else.
So we've come to Finale.
Cards is there.
Pretty small skate park.
I actually came here once with a steering wheel on.
So we're just going to see what it's like without a steering wheel.
We're going to just session this one zone here.
Cardi done in the past.
The three on here.
Flip fakied that somehow.
I don't know how.
Ridiculous.
Now we just want to do a link of tricks.
So it's here, here and here.
One run each.
So we get one run each, basically.
On this bit, yeah?
Yeah.
This is really cool.
It's like a big whale tail.
Nice little finale, isn't it?
Yeah.
Let's get it.
I think I'll do tuck, whip and flare.
And you can do whatever three and flare.
That has been a sick old school day of just shredding.
No steering wheels.
No square wheels.
It's been well.
Just shredding, fun and cool spots.
If you liked it and want to see more, just let us know.
Put it in the comments.
See you in the next one.
