One Giant Leap - Llangollen, Progression Session, Youtuber Group Ride, MTB

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Yees!! What a great video, of a great day mate honestly one of your best edits to date as well 👍🏼 You did so well for your first visit there and certainly came away with progression 🤣 Great work on the two drops as well as they are no small features either! Steep, lose tech this place is amazing 🤙🏼 loved it!

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks Christian, absolutely loved the day, maybe started slowly but was buzzing by the end, you smashed it mate, no one has progressed more than you have recently mate 👍🏻

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

@@HallMarc_Trails cheers Marc 🤙🏼 been a good year for riding though, and let's face it after Alton I needed to 🤣

[@HallMarc_Trails]

It’s just all about getting used to a certain kind of trail, I’m used to dimmingsdale but avoided the really steep stuff, it’s as new to me as it is to you, Peak District terrain is what I’m used to, always good to adapt though, I think if you can ride peaks/ lakes stuff and also be able to ride the steep stuff you can ride anything, confidence is the key 👍🏻

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

@@HallMarc_Trails mate we will be smashing it all soon 👍🏼 it is great tackling all the various terrain certainly makes us progress far more than sticking to one style of riding

[@Stopadoodledoo]

It’s hugely beneficial to mix up the type of terrain you ride, if you’re to become a decent all-rounder. For instance if you have mainly ridden your soil based trails then the rocks at Llangollen may cause anxiety whereas riding in the Peaks, for instance, you know they are fine. Ride mainly rocky trails and the reverse would apply with loose soil ones. Plus, it keeps it all the more interesting to ride different stuff all the time 👍

[@DaveJenvey]

great vid Marc some good riding there, that place looked ace. I can't believe how quickly Christian has progressed!!!

[@HallMarc_Trails]

It's fantastic dave, you would of loved this one, we're all members so we'll definitely be going back, christian has progressed loads just lately, completely different rider haha 😊👍

[@BURTGUZZLERSMTB]

Good laugh with the lads🤙Well done on the steep stuff and the drops all in the name of progression 👊 trails look incredible!! Would like to do a north tour in the future🤘🏻🤘🏻 good edit 👌

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate, I think riding the steep stuff helps you progress so much, there’s so much riding in north Wales, you can’t go wrong 👍🏻

[@TProStudioCreate]

Of all the group rides you guys have done to this point this one is definitely my favourite! Loved watching all the different perspectives from each of you and seeing the similarity and differences from each rider. All the footage was so awesome

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate, we all had such a great time, i think all our videos of this day are exceptional, different enough to keep them all interesting too, thanks for watching, appreciated 👍👊

[@schmidt7811]

Really great video, that place looks amazing! Cracking riding by all, can't wait to see where you go next!👍👍

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it, one of my favourite days out on a bike this was, definitely will be doing more rides like this in future 👍🏻

@@schmidt7811 no probs 😊👍

[@superspecky4eyes]

Rode there on Friday. Jeepers the trails were steep and that push up trail back to the top was ridiculous! Once you get your head used to the steepness, trails were quite fun!

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Yeah, you definitely need an uplift to enjoy them properly, you need all your energy to stay on the bike haha 😁👍🏻

[@superspecky4eyes]

@@HallMarc_Trails Yeah, push up took us 35mins, were there most of the day and only managed four runs and was completely knackered. The Welsh know how to do hills properly.

......another quality offering from the Right Reverend Marc The Gib 😂

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate 😂 it certainly brought out my inner god 😂👍🏻

[@5492sparky]

Steep and techy, everything you need in a trail! Quality Mate. 👍

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate, I highly recommend you giving this one a go 👍🏻

[@HUSHHUSH-]

The Gib : Lets see how this one goes . Tobby : shit !!!. 😬😆😆😆😆

[@HallMarc_Trails]

😂🤣👍

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Haha you know it

[@Jonnybear84]

Lol that was madness, so steep, so loose and sketchy lol, another great video, the north wales 2 parter is easily some of your best content up to this point at least, congrats on hitting those jumps too, you'll be hitting the 7 ft big momma drop in no time :D

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks Jon, it was ridiculously steep in places, brilliant DH tracks but horrible push up haha, I’m in no rush to hit the big one just yet 😂👍🏻

[@chameleonpogono]

This was a really fun video! Wales is beautiful and those trails looked fun and gnarly. Looked steep on camera. Lots of christ almighty that day (rating 5!). Some of those steep sections with ruts would be incredibly difficult. Nice job on these trails.

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate, very scary place but brilliant at the same time, we had loads of fun and it all adds up to progression, I appreciate the continued support, thanks 🙏👍🏻

[@johnparkes2994]

Great looking place👍, probably a bit much for me though😂😂 Cracking vid once again!!!

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate, it’s quite scary in places but I guarantee you would learn something and be more comfortable on your bike afterwards, you can avoid the big drops and the steep stuff isn’t life threatening 👍🏻

[@davidbermudez5387]

Send it!!! Really awesome mate 🤙

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate, appreciated 👊👍

[@yorkneytrailrider6705]

Another top notch video Marc, brilliant riding from all you guys, a real life saver at the moment as I’ve broken my thumb so plenty of time on my hands, not helping with my anxiety and depression issues but watching your videos is helping 👍

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate, so glad you enjoy my videos, i appreciate that very much, sorry to hear about your thumb and hope it heals soon, just remember mate, life is too short and biking is the best medicine for anxiety and depression, you'll be back out in no time enjoying the countryside, we shall have to meet up for a ride in the near future 👍

[@yorkneytrailrider6705]

TheGibMTB thanks Marc I really appreciate your words of encouragement mate, I don’t doubt for one second what your saying but I’m an impatient sod and I’m finding it difficult to stay positive, fortunately I have a wonderful family support network and even more support in your kind invite too which means more than you can imagine Marc, I will definitely take you up on it when my thumb has healed, cheers pal and all the best, Sean 👍

[@HallMarc_Trails]

No probs mate, i shall look forward to it 👍

[@yorkneytrailrider6705]

TheGibMTB me too Marc, I just hope I don’t keep you waiting for me mate, I also hope my confidence hasn’t been effected either 🤞

@@yorkneytrailrider6705 there’s no rush mate, I’m not that fit haha, it’s great just to get out 👍🏻

Awesome mate, really enjoyed that. Just the right mix of fear and fun! 😂

Good effort, on my list as soon as possible! 👍🏽🤙🏼

[@ChrisMichaelVisuals]

Some of that was even looking steep on the go pro! Looked like a good couple of days riding 👌🏼

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate, absolutely loved the whole weekend, definitely felt it but worth every minute 😁👍🏻

[@whatdando9267]

Great video guys!!

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate, appreciated 🙏👍🏻

[@MTBM-MattHowse]

This place looks so sick. Drop looks a decent size! Keep it up mate. Subbed!

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate, I appreciate the sub, the drops are really nice, just the big one I need to conquer 😁👍🏻

[@MTBM-MattHowse]

@@HallMarc_Trails you will have it in no time im sure. Looking good! I do love a good decent drop and the feeling you get.

[@HallMarc_Trails]

No better feeling, such a buzz 👍🏻

[@MTBM-MattHowse]

@@HallMarc_Trails im out of action for a bit. Had a bad crash a couple of days back at Rogate. My leg is so bruised. But oh well it made a good video haha. Looking forward to the video when you nail the drop!

[@HallMarc_Trails]

I’ll check out your vid, going work in a bit though so will watch in morning 👍🏻

[@zakshuker220]

Just a little tip, try let the bike roll, probably done that squirrel track 10 times, it’s all about having confidence into the corner and thinking, yes I can do this. Trust me it’ll help you a lot buddy 🙏🏻

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Thanks mate, great advice, just need to put into practice, appreciated 🙏👍🏻

[@zakshuker220]

TheGibMTB no worries mate, give me a shout when your up there again one weekend, me and the lads will come say hi🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Will do mate, definitely 👍🏻

[@Stopadoodledoo]

What a fantastic edit of a fantastic day; this was definitely one of the highlights of the year for me. We also have two new catchphrases; PROGRESSION SESSION and Christ Almighty Level 5. Who could ask for more? 😂
