I felt every pedal stroke while you were climbing. Great vid. Just plain ol grit without those irritating music video edits.

[@jacobtham3683]

BT in 30mins without a stop. Respect! Awesome stamina :)

[@grip-stand-throw]

This is awsome man! No frills, no fancy edit, just plain riding fun. Please do more of the timestamp on your next vids!

[@ICE329]

Nice! still unable to do the climb by the pipeline..only can reach halfway...hahaha!

[@djanggo73]

Respect....... this is way more challenging than riding roadbike on the road only about speed

[@drplotter2676]

32yrs back,i ride a bmx but the trail wasn't like this at that time.no mountain bike at all inside the trail until oneday i saw a single kampung house and stop to take a look when suddenly i turned back there was a malay uncle said"ahh you have been caught no way to run"when i realized i never did saw this house before when i entered the trail with my friend,a little questions this and that to him and he told me he lived here already longtime ago with his daughter...i kept thinking this incident overnight and decided to return and see that kampung house and that uncle the next day,but there were no where to be found again untill today.now i am 43yrs old,i believe if i were to meet him again,maybe we are at the same age now🏁😂

Visited the place 25 or 30 yrs ago.. Im now 58..Bt is not what it trails use to be.. Awesome full of stamina rider with reliable nimble Yeti.

Most riders start from Bt Timah nature reserve car park. Anyway, good video to share to have an idea how the trails look like.

Thanks for this video bro. Good introduction for those unfamiliar with BT. Bike looks and sounds super dialled too. And that buzz... CK? i9?

[@EdmondOng]

CK :)

[@thedude8267]

Great video but I had to lower the volume due to the loud high pitched ringing that would fade in and out.

[@namkul]

Hi is that an SB6? Your old video of BT with the Specialized( i think) got me into mtb-ing haha. Currently I ride a pivot firebird; looking to get a Yeti next 😋 maybe the sb150 😍

[@EdmondOng]

Yes a 2018 SB6 27.5. Very happy to hear I poisoned you haha! All to better health and fitness! You next poison, can check out YT Izzo too, fresh from oven!

How do you ride it so smoothly,I die by the time I reach the carpark 🤣

[@malaykosayo2475]

Breathing bro.

[@punkrockHAPIS83]

Stamina beast mode

[@ricppop]

Wow your climbing is impressive! I’ve just started riding during the lockdown and tried riding BT for the first time a couple of weeks back. The climbs were too tough for me. What suspension bike do u ride and do you have tips on improving climbs?

[@EdmondOng]

I normally keep both an XC 100mm travel bike (epic sworks) and a enduro bike (yeti SB6) like 150mm and above travel all trail riding. Climbing well requires good techniques so that u stay efficient and track well ie pick and commit a line, stay low up front and sit at the nose of saddle etc. For fitness tips, try Google more about interval training to improve your vo2max threshold and overall fitness.

[@ricppop]

Edmond Ong this is super helpful, thanks a lot!!

[@syaifudeanselamat3416]

Smooth video. What do you use to record your video? Any gimbal?

[@EdmondOng]

No gimbal actually, just Gopro7 chestmounted with its inbuilt stabiliser.

[@ajufpv1984]

Clockwise trail or you can go the otherway round? Awesome vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@EdmondOng]

Clockwise trail only 👍🏼

[@natural9619]

was about to go tomorrow, now i see so scary, a bit intimidated

[@jeffersontan9214]

He goes for the double dimaonds sections basically advanced sections the trails not so bad as long as u follow the right path and don't go now it's raining so heavily spoil the trail:(

[@zephyrmansor]

This is an awesome video. Love the timestamp. I have a question regarding protection. Do you wear any when riding the BT trail? if so what is your bare minimum recommendation for a newbie?

[@EdmondOng]

This ride I have just my helmet and glove actually. Minimally I recommend a knee guards too. Elbow protection is a good call too.

[@zephyrmansor]

@@EdmondOng Thanks bro.

[@trailnirvanajepoy4435]

Respect! BT in 30 mins? 💪

[@EdmondOng]

My best was 23ish mins, still trying to push for better timing thanks!

Hi may i know what action camera did u use for this? Looks dope 🙌🏻

[@EdmondOng]

Gopro 7 chest mounted

[@Mrjackye19]

I’m a newbie, can I go to BT or should I practice first at t15?

[@karlmichaellinantud5348]

nice vid! is there any way to stabilize the footage. im dizzy after haha. anyway kudos!

[@EdmondOng]

Yes the most popular ones will be the use the a electronic gimbal like feiyu stabiliser. This footage is using the software stabilisation built in to the gopro.

[@khairulanwar6005]

Is it worth buying full suspension or hardtail with fork 120mm enough for singapore terrain and trail?

[@EdmondOng]

I would recommend a full suspension bike still. There a couple of trails like Gangsa (Chestnut Bike Park) or Kent Ridge which will be more fun and definitely better with a capable trail bike. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6XVk6KlZ9BnpJo for Gangsa trail (Chestnut Bike Park), see kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ6uY5aur9-AmKM for how a hardtail with 100mm front sus can tackle Bukit Timah Trail.

[@praving9812]

What go pro camera u use? It’s really clear

[@EdmondOng]

Gopro 7

[@ezrarosmanisnin8645]

19:36 many have failed that double drop..hospitalized.Any tips to get over that?

[@EdmondOng]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2GpnpqMl56YoKM try looking at this!

[@myospaceotimeoadventure4296]

Hi, appreciate..the advice here just went trailing from Wallace to BT. 1. 740mm (I'm using) or more handlebar width (760, 800mm for more control?? 2. My pedals, sometimes hit the rock..any tips?

[@EdmondOng]

I am 1.73m, average build, not wide shoulder and using 760mm bar for enduro and 720 for xc bike. Crank is 170mm for longer travel bike to minimise pedal strike too. Can't quite do much unless you buy a higher BB bike or ride with higher sag stiffer sus.

[@myospaceotimeoadventure4296]

@@EdmondOng, Thanks appreciate the advice:)

[@2ji8888]

bro, may i know how many clicks you're runnin on your hsc and lsc?

[@EdmondOng]

Fox 36 - LSC 19 clicks out HSC 16 clicks out Rebound 12 clicks out. Rear Fox X2 - LSC 14 clicks out, HSC 10 click out, Rebound LSR 11 clicks out HSR 8 clicks out.

[@billt.4422]

Is this for beginners? Do you need a bike with suspension?

[@EdmondOng]

While I have done this trail on a hardtail with front suspension, a full sus trail or XC bike will definitely make the trail most enjoyable. Not recommended for beginners though, there are however less challenging alternate lines to take. Recommended to try with caution and take it easy. 👍🏼

[@JaWs738]

This route is so confusing. Can I use a fat bike for the trail ... If miss a turn will plunge down the hill ? Would be good if record in 3d.

[@EdmondOng]

Fat bike works well too👍

[@jeffersontan9214]

U prob say no but can we go riding tgt?? Been looking for someone to ride with and u look very experienced:)
