WE FOUND AN ABANDONED SKATEPARK AND RODE IT!!

This was an amazing trip to Taiwan with Sam Pilgrim to create the first of the brand new GoodYear wing foot dirt jump tyres that I've been lucky enough to have input on and test ride for the first time. We took our dirt jump bikes in the hunt for trails, pump tracks, skateparks and urban street spots. And we managed to find most of them around the awesome country. Sam Pilgrim is well known for his skatepark riding and it became clear when we discovered this completely abandoned skatepark with a huge half pipe, ramps and features that we hardly rideable. Enjoy the carnage.

[@tommyherbertson8037]

I´d really like to see Matt and Sam riding the playground together =D

[@LPMonsterBeat]

I'm so desperate for this to happen :')

[@simonabra1813]

And compound, skatepark and field!

[@rboeyrt4054]

Matt’s hair looks like super noodles

[@AlexBoultz]

I get that all the time

[@jeddrance6863]

Ramen

[@simonhinks1975]

Fax

[@daniboyo]

What flavour?

[@Okeydokeybroskiis]

What’s super noodles

[@jakemtb54]

I respect so much that you really took the time to your stuff about how the tires are made

[@natandirt]

he got paid for showing that process bro

[@Squant]

Watching Matt get involved in the tyre making process gives me so much confidence in the Helfare stuff as well. Passion shines through in the product.

[@ManWalksDogs]

Yeah, having worked in many factories over the years, I appreciated the tour and it felt like Matt was genuinely into the process. I imagine no one could convince Sam to get involved too and he said he'd rather just summon some magic outside afterwards instead! Loved the post apocalyptic skatepark, the pumpy motorway and all those magnificent temples too.

[@BrianWilsonLacrosse]

@@ManWalksDogsmy guess is they have seen Sam’s videos and they didn’t even offer/allow him to touch anything Sam: “the edges on this $100,000 roller are a bit rough, let me smooth that out on the concrete outside for you mate. EPIC!!!!!” Love them both, so awesome Goodyear brought them together if for no other reason than this content

[@ManWalksDogs]

@@BrianWilsonLacrosse haha yeah quite possibly got risk assessed! Such an odd couple! But yeah nice for them to have an opportunity to work/play together.

[@cream8701]

Shocking how naive you are

[@saltybmxer6977]

This is my favorite bike channel. Always top notch content. Ben’s laugh is infectious.

[@Mtber-leo]

Watching Sam run off to get free stuff is hilarious 😂❤

[@Zebra_Cakes]

The abandoned skatepark is SO cool, I love that. A bit sad that it’s abandoned though, looks like it was a really cool place once upon a time

[@macfilms9904]

That park is amazing - it's like you're riding in The Last of Us - nice climbing wall too - amazing to me it's totally abandoned.

[@cycletech_chris]

So interesting seeing how the tyres are made! What an opportunity for you, how cool!

[@DJ_NR6]

You could make the sickest edit in that abandoned skatepark when the weather is gloomy. That metal structure over it, it is amazing.

[@stujm8376]

One of the most amazing videos you’ve released in a long time. You should do more with pilgs, it’s great seeing you ride together.

[@edburdick229]

Love a good 'how it's made' video!!! Maybe a tour of the Helfare factory one day?

[@BMX_Kobe]

I love when you film with Sam 🔥🔥

[@mrbbqcraig]

What I find totally astounding is the fact that on our beautiful planet there are thousands of professional MTB riders, with an amazing amount of talent..... Goodyear chose these two radical dudes...love it to the MAX ‼️‼️✨ Cheers to you 🤟🎶

[@michielost]

5:22 that dude in the back going crazy 😂

[@jsbmx2039]

What a cool video. That factory stuff was pretty cool

[@C_Haberstoked]

loved the detailed explaination of the manufacturing process!

[@Doublethizzle]

I rode those tires 20 years ago when I raced BMX. They were called Siren and were built by a company called IRC. Wonder if Goodyear bought the molds from IRC????

[@YTDTETV]

Good to see you a pilg riding together, you guys both get similar views I’ve noticed so are practically rivals but putting that aside and sending it together is awesome 👍👍

[@anthonyhoughton2683]

Looks like a good year sweat shop, that's a dangerous place to work mate

[@doggamer1016]

Hahaha

[@troysmith6929]

I'm still getting used to watching people pull off Flares, haha. It looks nuts!! Looks like an incredible trip

[@calilife805]

“I’ve built worse, Definitely..” 💀😂 same Matt same 😂

[@BraydenSaari]

Love your content Matt!! I’ve been watching your videos for a couple years now and I’ve never missed a video since!

[@rock-and-dirt]

you know who to blame, when the sidewall of your new MTB tyre rips.... 🤣

[@davidfox9428]

This is the best bike channel pumping out danger every few days

[@gingershark5]

Them goodyear tryes look so sick

[@domgray7587]

Sick opportunity for you guys fair play. 🤙 Seeing the pump track by the factories, what happened to the Helfare pump track

[@wheels.3239]

Awesome video, Awesome to see the effort you put into everything, watching you make that tyre was proof. You and Pilgs are two of the best, if not then, The Best ambassadors MTB has. Love ya work Lads. I'll be buying a set of those tyres !! Cheers from Australia.

[@natandirt]

Wow that skatepark looks amazing ! Sad to see it being in that shape

[@Elim_84]

Love this Collab when it comes around

[@davidtaylor111]

That you complimented his tracksuit was hilarious

[@dawnkangas2968]

Absolutely awesome

[@chrisfoz1948]

How fantastic that making your own tyre? Go boy!

[@davidshaw681]

Great video Matt, thank you

[@gavingg4761]

I swear ive seen clips from 15+ years ago of the yasutoko brothers skating there at the abandoned place.🔥

[@benfulford3943]

Good evening professor Matt!

[@alexanderklimenko123]

That pump track looks sick

[@mrstevemackay1]

Haha Sam riding backwards at the end!😂😂😂

[@chrisvickers9665]

That’s skate park is sick! I think the structure over it was the frame for a large tent. That place needs to get rebuilt!🔥🤙

[@jimg8164]

Ho-lee! That is an EPIC pump track. I'd take a lap and be done for the day! LOL!

[@jellybelly100jellyvision7]

Could you leave the fence/hedges in and build at least one jump that riders clear the hedge? Like put the take off one side and the landing on the other side, think how sick it would look from the top to see riders disappear the other side of the hedge and then reappear back into the main line! So many options! So sick

[@oliverpitt7854]

That skateparks old and well used just how Matt likes it 😂

[@trailjockeytj6160]

You guys are great together! Kind of a yin and yang but fit really well. And he can fake he like Ben, although it seems you don’t get as nervous as when you do faking in front of Ben.

[@ericlaroche5010]

this vid is about to be insane

[@MrClean2564]

Let’s get Matt to 1 mil

[@grakkerful]

I am absolutely loving the collabs.

[@noke1785]

@matt , can you please make a "GOOD YEAH"-series of your tyre ? would be osom ! I enjoyed both of your videos in a row, quite nice to see you teaming up with sam! cheerz !

[@MckWells]

The wingfoot dirt looks familiar, reminds me of the Schwalbe Billy Bonkers tires on my DJ. Rounded tires with 7 lateral microknobs with a dimple in the middle of each. Except wingfoot is a much cooler name to have on the sidewall.

[@larsmtb0616]

More videos with Sam please

[@P3tchy]

Matt you know you need to build a pump track next to the pitbike track in your field. Also So good to see you and Pilg's doing a collab again.

[@skibz2008]

Sam pilgrim needs to go to Matt’s private skatepark

[@mrbd9286]

Can already tell its gonna be a belter

[@SweetJandalsBruv]

Really cool to see how they're made, great vid

[@JaydepoolMusic]

funny enough i found your channel from recommends from watching sam and now its complete

[@adrianwilkinson2547]

I went up the Taipei 101 in 2006 when it was the worlds tallest building. It’s Epic inside with the engineering. That pump track is incredible!

[@JournalJunkie]

What a interesting video, love it!👍🏽

[@RoraighPrice]

That abandoned skatepark is totally giving me American wasteland vibes almost like they've been teleported to an irl version of that place in the tony hawk's game.

[@Invinciblemoam]

Goodyear are clever people…I’ve been waiting years to see Matt and Sam ride together properly.

[@davidrichardson8394]

"nice tracksuits" lol legendary

[@Johnny_kueter]

20 minuets ago! love your channel and your videos keep going

[@o.gbobbyjohnson6765]

Pumped to see Sam

[@benadams6512]

This is one of the sickest videos you’ve ever done, unreal

[@roo-dog3484]

It would normally be slick right there but I noticed that the tread slips when wet! Guess you'll just have to go back on holiday to test the next one. Maybe you can get them to reply that sick spot too before you show up 😂

[@duanegerousss]

Was rad to meet and ride with you gents 🤘 come back soon!

[@danielthompson743]

Remind me of my go to tires back in the day, dmr Moto r's

[@johnnyrichmond31198]

EPIC!!!!!!!!!! 💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

[@mead813]

I love the lab coat! Haha

[@paulmurden7621]

Tyres that are minutes old on a skate park that's sold old it's fell apart. Very poetic indeed.

[@Hanitcal69]

That machine is so cool

[@CHRIS_snm]

Why can't we have pump tracks in the UK like that one? Sad face 😢

[@Bob_Shy_132]

Those are the newest tires you'll ever get! SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK! Hahahahahahahaha

[@freshturns_snowboarding]

That death skate park should be a Call of Duty map lol

[@jamiejoy2393]

The skatepark looks so awesome! The mini ramp looked like it had been changed though maybe someone's rebuilding it, such a shame its been left

[@dxrksku]

When are all the olive cadence jersey sizes coming back in stock?

[@wharfedalelocksmiths5430]

Love it lads get more together nice as ❤😁

[@buffetline2605]

RedBull and Monster have combined powers!

[@mattiasginsby350]

man sam got some real speed on the that pumptrack

[@Danilad89]

You need to get sam to the playground and your skatepark

[@dirtjumpsender736]

Matt wicked vid I'm starting my youtube doing stair sets and all sorts maybe can we have a more in depth bike maintenance 👍👌

[@nebularider3626]

Sam and Matt!

[@WellGWiz]

That's cool as shit dude! Make your own pre production and get to sign it! 🤘

[@cjrobins9994]

Waiting for the few bots to mention this being jamies channel and how kind for matt to use 😠 😂

[@dhbdaily]

😂😂😂

[@davegorie4762]

Sam needs to be invited to the playground and your compound

[@ZacJeffries2146]

Yeah the boys

[@butterlegs]

The rear looks like it’d make a pretty solid skatepark tyre. Hopefully they pick up a BMXer, would be sick to have a skatepark tyre with a good bit of R&D

[@logang6583]

I love sams" playing here? Its what i live for" fuck your guys life is amazing

[@mikek4537]

we need a game of bike with matt vs sam!!

[@TheShift1313]

Can we take a moment to appreciate Matts fakie!!

[@bhew7409]

That security guard was so sweet.

[@andrewsher1]

The 4X track is right next to the abandoned skatepark but covered in thick grass

[@karduar]

Is it just me or does Matt look 10/10 hungover.

[@kieranbrain3733]

NICE TRACKSUIT 😂

[@anthonyhoughton2683]

And I'm sure I saw you pedal the pump track😅

[@4perta]

Matt you and Sam should do so skatepark content with each other

[@4perta]

At you park

[@leotuyrrell8033]

YOOOOOOO no way im early. loving the content bro

[@Trasselkalle]

Jesus, for a moment there I thought Matt was commando under that lab coat. Scared the shit out of me!

[@KrinKzOoR1]

Looks like a park straight from a Tony Hawk game!

[@grahamchilcott7718]

I’m guessing the giant metal caterpillar clambering across the sky once was some kind of sun shade with fabric and stuff???

[@grahamchilcott7718]

Once upon a time

[@lukatrbizan1384]

insane
