I built a wooden MTB trail up in the trees to shred on my Canyon enduro bike followed by some sick coastal freeride lines in Cornwall on my ebike! Would you ride my trail?
In a only 4 hours I was able to build this technical northshore style MTB trail up in the canopy of the trees, I built for as long as possible until unfortunately all my wood run ut but i'm stoked with the trail I made and if you like the idea then i'll definitely build some more like this in the future.
Then in the second half of the video we have a family ride out in Newquay and find a cool freeride line with an epic back drop and test the limits of the Hoverair drone, don't forget to use my code for a discount!

The video follows a mountain biker as he constructs a technical \"North Shore\" style trail in the woods and later takes a family trip to Cornwall. The content blends the creative process of trail building with leisure riding and the use of a drone for cinematic footage.
We've got Izzy on the front, with pitch pitch.
Straighter, sketchy ridgeline.
I'm going to be building a North Shore style mountain bike trail in the woods behind me.
They're super thick, we're going to slowly go up higher and higher
and make a technical mountain bike trail hidden within these trees.
Right, we're going to get straight into it then.
We've put in the bottom bit to give a bit of support
and then we're going to go up to a high level here
where we're going to get the first sort of height going.
Cool, well that's pretty secure.
Alright, next support beam is going to go here.
Very nice. Ooh, that's sick.
Oh my god, this is going to be such a scary and good trail.
Now, it's literally like it was meant to be.
Look, that is actually the same height almost.
And it's literally bike park secure now.
That is terrifying, but...
Oh, this is sick, we're in the canopy.
I'm like a monkey.
Yeah, so this is going to be tech.
We've got to try and...
We'll have to get to that end, aim to here
and then it's going to be some sort of trial bit to get round there.
I've had an epiphany.
I'm going to put a hopper ramp here so we can go jump on
and then we'll be up.
This is now going to go...
Thank you.
Is this cool, do you think, Louis, or just stupid?
It's cool, isn't it?
Right, stylistically, we're going to put in a few of these slats.
We go along this.
See?
And then to there.
Let's get that turn made.
Right, we're going to make this corner here a corner.
We're going to put some random bits down.
Yeah, that's pretty sketchy, but seems pretty decent, actually.
Yes.
Thank you.
Oh, yeah, just fit.
Loads of slats here to be used.
We're now going to put this here as a stilt
and we're going to connect to here and here
and then this is going to be a turn section which then aims that way.
Look.
We've got such good stuff, so that's going to fit there.
Then that there.
We're getting into some exciting zones now of fun
and now this is going to go here.
Nice.
And then we'll get another one on here and then tie them down.
Right, a little slat on there.
I'm going to have to bring that in a bit because they're not that thick, the slats.
So we've actually got a full on turn.
Wow, this is proper.
Cool, and then we'll show you our newest North Shore design
which is going to blow your mind.
Because what we want to do is use ratchet.
It's going to be like a sort of bridge that floats and has North Shore pieces on it.
I don't know if it's going to work but it would be sick.
So that's going to go around here in some way or another
and then we need to go.
This bit of wood's a bit sketchy here
so I'm going to put a big support beam in the back.
Oh yeah, that's so strong with that support.
Right, we're now into something that could be really sketchy.
We've got these two straps lined up onto this.
So we're going to try and connect all these bits of wood
and then have the sketchiest skinny down as the finale of this little trail.
Right, look, we've put a few on now.
It seems like it's going to work.
Oh, that's going to be such a weird feeling riding down there.
Oh, look what magically appeared.
The hopper.
Now if we set this in its tallest setting
I think it's going to be close enough.
Yes.
It's time.
I've got the canyon spectral here looking all lovely and ready to go.
I'm just going to run the course a second
so you can see how sketchy it's going to be.
So I'm going to have to get a run up
onto this skinny which I'm most scared of
balance across here
over this
across this
along here, round
and then into sketchy alley.
I'm only going to do that when I have to.
Let's give it a go.
Right, I'm going to do a first little test
up onto this sketchy bit
because
see, that's going to be really difficult
because I don't like skinnies as it is particularly.
OK, let me just look at this section.
OK, that fits the bar.
That fits.
Yeah, see, once you get to here, it's pretty chill.
Oh, that up section is really scary.
OK, let's make it happen.
Oh my God, I almost died.
North Shore Trail
straight in.
It was that ramp placement.
Look at this.
Oh, we're into the scary bit now.
Dropping.
North Shore Trail
straight in.
It was that ramp placement.
Look at this.
Oh, we're into the scary bit now.
Yes, it worked.
It was like anticlimactic
in how easy it was in the end.
We switched from the fun of that North Shore build
to Newquay in Cornwall.
The weather is so good,
we had to come down in the motorhome.
We got Izzy on the front
with Pidge Pidge,
the mascot.
Ali there, we're going to cruise around
and find some fun stuff to ride
in this amazing weather
and just get into it.
So come on, should we go for a shreddy?
Yes.
Let's take this little sketchy high line with Izzy.
Look, we're shredding high lines, Izzy.
Me and you.
Me and baby.
Yay.
Izzy.
Blasting.
Yeah.
Are you liking that, Izzy?
Look, we got Pidgey on there.
Oh, big bump.
Bum, bum, bum.
Right, we've turned up at this lovely looking location.
I've got my man bag on,
which is the hover air bag.
Oh, I'm stuck.
This thing's so fun.
Even for this slow-paced family sesh,
it's going to look cool.
Look, we're going to get it in the air.
Little bird, look.
Right, come on, Izzy.
Let's see if we can get some cool shots
with this little dolly follow.
Look, it's me and you with the dolly mode.
This is so good.
Look.
Yeah.
Right, come here, hover.
We're going to make you in a different angle, actually.
Let's do a follow, yeah?
Mid-flat.
Yes, look, we're shredding.
We're going downhill, Izzy.
Look, we're actually shredding with the hover behind us.
Is this cool?
We've got pigeon on as well.
Oh, look, we've got some sort of quarry zone.
Ooh, that looks scary down there.
Look at that helmet hair.
Oh, yeah, that looks good.
Oh, we've lost the padded bit.
Okay, right, while they're sitting there,
I'm going to pedal round,
and I think you can ride this section.
I've done it with Cardi in the past.
Can't exactly remember the way, though,
so let me get up there.
Here we go, then.
Let's do this little section.
Hover airing.
Yes.
Cute little face.
There we go.
Right, that follow worked super well,
but I want another angle to show the steepness,
so I'm going to manual control it.
Yeah, Izzy.
Oh, that's sick.
Look at it, such a good reveal.
Yeah, I think that's cool.
Okay, I'm just leaving it filming, then.
Dropping.
Let's get, like, a cool one from here, then.
It shows a bit of the steepness.
Here we go.
Hit that fast.
Yeah.
Cool.
Hover's up there in manual mode, Ali.
See?
If you use code SAM10 today,
you'll get 10% off this,
and we can get bangers, can't we, Izzy?
Absolute bangers.
Bangers and mash.
Finale banger.
I just want to try and ride down this somehow.
Oh, this is the section, then, look.
Oh, that's insanity, though, isn't it?
Let me get the hover in the air,
just to get a better angle.
Dropping.
Oh, God.
Oh, that's actually so chill and nice.
It's way more scary when you're up there, though.
Sorry, Izzy.
I'm just going to do that as a GoPro POV, okay?
Right, let's get a banger, then.
GoPro.
Ooh.
Sketchy ridgeline.
Ooh, look at this.
Oh, it's like trials into there.
Wow.
That was scary and fun, though.
Ah, there we go.
Right, sorry, Izzy.
I know you're bored now.
Let's swap bikes, then, Ali,
and you can continue the mishwan on this.
Da-da-da-da-da.
Da-da-da?
Da-da-da-da.
Oh, yeah?
Is that what you're saying?
You'd like to go to dinner?
Da-da-da-da.
So, there we go.
We're out in Cornwall now for a week,
so you'll probably see some other stuff on my second channel,
and I think I'm going to make some time to go to the track,
which is, like, a super cool dirt jump spot.
Hopefully, there's no wind.
We can get a session going.
So, that's the end of the video.
Make sure, if you want the hover air,
you've literally got, like, a day left before my code runs out,
and then it'll be back to the normal price.
I think there's a few promotions going on already,
so that will top on it.
So, links in the description.
Oh, thank you.
Links in description.
Use code SAM10.
You get 10% off.
Epic.
Ready to go get some food then, Izzy and Ali?
See you in the next one.
Da-da-da-da-da-da.
