One Giant Leap - Gentle Giant Red Trail Full Run

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Mate, that was a phenomenal run, anyone who has rode there will appreciate how fast you've rode that, you got it dialled, superb video 😃👍

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

😊 cheers mate, was my fastest run to date this one according to Strava 😆 Paying price today though, can't move left arm 🤦🏻‍♂️ Actually, wonder if I use that tonight it might be like............. 🤔

[@HallMarc_Trails]

@@ElectricMountainBiker you need a substitute left arm for tonight by the sounds of it 🤣🤣🤣

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

🤣🤣🤣 yeh that ain't happening, will stick with right thanks haha

[@ThemountainTour]

Fair play looking good always enjoy Llangollen

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Thank you, means alot coming from someone who has ridden there, as I know you understand just how crazy and amazing this place is 👍🏼 Did the Original DH trackast wek, christ almighty that was steep. I was fairly cautious, but not one dab all the way down. Even got a top 8 time for ebike category on Strava 😃😃 proper chuffed lol

[@HUSHHUSH-]

Great one . Considering it was so wet I can only imagine summer time how quick you will be going down them tracks .

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Can't wait for dry trails now, had enough of this slop 🤣

[@alex__rides__bikes]

Got it pinned down this run Christian! Hitting corners and drops like they are nothing 👌

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Thank you 😁 I loved this trail so much, Even now it makes me smile 😃 but alas it is no more, the bottom section before the big drop is now big jumps. Done very well, but I just can't hit them. Glad I got to ride it loads when it was like the video though 👍🏻👍🏻

[@FabEiburdlazMTB]

Great vid my friend !!!! Flow flow flowwwwww 🤙🤙🤙🔥🔝have fun and ride on mate

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Thank you, it is such a great place ❤

[@FabEiburdlazMTB]

@@ElectricMountainBiker 🤙🤙

[@MrJackroderick]

Cracking video mate, I've just applied for membership on the back of watching it haha. Thanks for the effort

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Nice one, it is such a great place!! Martin is really sound as well. Best £30 you will have spent. Take the route up through the wood of cycling, far quicker. Will also see some more very interesting trail exits which are well worth a look 👀👀 Scary as hell. Will get an idea on my one giant leap on Hardtails video. I was pants of course 🤣

[@MrJackroderick]

Oh champion I'll take that advice for sure thanks mate. Is there a great deal of difference between the route through the woods or the road in terms of battery usage. And I'll watch that next cheers fella. Hopefully we cross paths sometime on the trails.

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

@@MrJackroderick sure is, road is one mile further, and steep all the way so basically trail at best, and boost pretty much all the way. Through the woods, boost or trail first section, then can pretty much get up it in eco or trail 👍🏻 I got five laps in and battery gave up then. But, I also have no extra pack etc. Tbh was knackered on fifth run down so was secretly glad 🤣

[@MrJackroderick]

Perfect thanks mate. Can't wait to come have a go now. I bet 5 laps is still a decent amount of time on the bike isn't it. I've done a good few days at bpw on mine now averaging maybe 8 laps and I'm usually cooked by then.

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Yeh, five laps I think is around 4.5k ft elevation, about that anyway 👍🏻 8 laps is incredible at BPW! What bike and battery do you have, is the charging there easy enough to get access to?

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

Smooth as butter. Even the water on those puddles was getting out of your way. Carrying some great speed. 👌

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

All those mechanicals must be making it faster, clearly not me doing it 🤣 Yeh, was a good run down this one, only really noticed how many puddles there were when watching it back 💧

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

@@ElectricMountainBiker 👍

[@RangerShaun]

Can someone pin point where this it is because I was there on Monday and I could not see it

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

@RangerShaun search for One Giant Leap, Llangollen, North Wales 👍🏻

[@ckMTB]

Fantastic run Christian, that was fast and great work buddy. Keep it up and have a great time. Ride on🤙

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Cheers mate, my favourite place for riding and sessioning crazy trails 😊 back there tomorrow to start getting the next track dialled in. Darren's favourite, Son of Squirrel 🐿😊

[@ckMTB]

@@ElectricMountainBiker Great, I'm curious about that. Have fun and ride on

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Nice one Christian. Takes me back to our trip there - just a little less wet! I need to go back to settle some unfinished business 😉

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Not before I finish before you 🤣

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

You've got until the summer. Then it's game on!!!

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland Game on, hopefully by then I will want a longest jump from it instead 👊🏻👊🏻🤣

[@Ruffest]

Speed is getting there. Makes it much more fun when you can get the gaps right carrying enough speed. 👍

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Cheers mate, speed certainly makes it easier and more fun. Next track for getting better on resumes tomorrow, a little bit steeper the next one 🤣

[@Ruffest]

@@ElectricMountainBiker heading over to Wharncliffe tomorrow for some tech in the monsoon

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Bet that place is interesting in the wet 😱 good luck. Is it your first visit? Think you might just enjoy it, as long as have a good guide. Not sure I would be attempting this Skipper in this weather mind!

[@Ruffest]

@@ElectricMountainBiker it's local to me. There's lots there that's frowned on filming so I don't do alot of videos there. It's only like 35 mins away. Bring on the summer 😂

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Never knew that! Yeh, had enough of this slop now, which seems to be just getting worse 😡

[@sjaan7370]

Nice rip 😎 Well done!

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Tha know, love it here 😊

[@MTB_Trekker]

Really good riding and in the wet too. Great stuff ✌🏻👏🏻

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Thanks mate, I do enjoy it here 😊

[@MTB_Trekker]

@@ElectricMountainBiker never been tbh, looks awesome! I'll add it to the list 🤣🤣

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

You will love it, I can't get enough must have been 6 times in last 4 weeks at least 🤣

[@MTB_Trekker]

@@ElectricMountainBiker 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that good?

[@bumpsahead]

That looked fast! Nice one 🤘

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Thank you, was my best run to date according to Strava 😊 such a great place to ride 👍🏼

[@dexterfletcher2481]

….what can I say mate …..you’ve Definitely been on the Red Bull …..that boys got Wiings !!

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Haha, know it well now that track, don't worry normal service resumes on the steeper stuff there 🤣

[@Stopadoodledoo]

Nice one mate. You're carrying so much more speed down there than you were when we all went 👍

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Cheers mate, all the crazy we ride makes it less scary now 🤣 plus, been a fair bit recently 🤫🤣

[@MTBLaura]

That trail looks awesome; don't think I'd manage anything harder than that yet though... maybe in the Summer 🤣💪

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Honestly this place is not easy, fully understand that. I took 3 mates there recently and all of them after the first run had that "what the hell have I let myself in for look", but by 3rd run all keen to get back upnfor another shot at it. One thing I can assure you at One Giant Leap is progression. You quite simply have to, it makes you progress lol My favourite place for riding this, scares me so much, but wow what a rush as well ❤ Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@MTBLaura]

@@ElectricMountainBiker we stayed right close to this place a couple of years ago, but it wasn't on our radar then. Hopefully by the time we get back to being able to get away I'll be a bit more confident 💪🤣

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

@@MTBLaura make sure you give me a shout and will give you the tour 👍🏼

[@RangerShaun]

What is the make of your handlebars also whereabouts is that on Llandegla

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Race face handlebars, came as standard with the bike 👍🏻 Link in description for their website and location, very close to Llandegla.

[@uknorthie]

Flying m8 I've printed off the paper work 2 go as I've not been yet 👌

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Really good place, very steep GoPro flattens it quite a lot on this one. I love the place 😃 you should have fun 👍🏼

[@Stevo_YouTube]

How many laps you getting on a battery there? I've just applied for membership.

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

If I keep it in Trail and eco, take the climb through the woods, not the road climb, can get 5 laps 👍🏻 Long descents as well, makes the climb worth it.

[@Stevo_YouTube]

@@ElectricMountainBiker Thanks dude

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

No worries, you are going to love it. One of my favourite places for riding, if not my favourite 👍🏻👍🏻

[@teamohlesgars]

Nice 😍😍😍😍

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Love this place ❤ 💕
