Raw POV at Grenoside Woods Inc The New Steel City Racetrack

[@Monkey-d-luffy-vr]

I’ve been here so fun but I went of the big jump not knowing it was big ended up spraining my ankle lol

[@mtbwestyorkshire7679]

Hope you are OK. Heal quick and get back there to tick it off.

[@Thepoeticmtbr_The_poetic_mtbr]

Lot of work gone on over at them there woods and nice edit with the flowy text 👍

[@mtbwestyorkshire7679]

Cheers. Yeah the track is mint. Would have loved to have sessioned all day but until its officially opened its just a few runs and onwards

[@MTB_Trekker]

This place looks ace!

[@mtbwestyorkshire7679]

Grenoside woods in Sheffield. It's great for flow trails and if you want some tech then Wharncliffe woods on the other side of the main road is the ticket.

@@mtbwestyorkshire7679 thanks mate!

[@fiveknuckleshovel3377]

[@zealotmtb9563]

niiiice! what's that you got on the handle bar? a speedometer? tracker?

[@mtbwestyorkshire7679]

CHEERS. If you mean the unit on the left it's my ebike display.

[@angelawoodruff6130]

I went there yesterday its fun

[@mtbwestyorkshire7679]

It certainly is. Such a confidence inspiring track

[@kikii1]

0:25 - error 51 error on the display. Limiter bypass?

[@mtbwestyorkshire7679]

No it's a drive fault is 511 error. It's a strange one as the bike still rides fine and to reset you simply turn off and on. I've not had any further issues with it and nothing serious

[@kikii1]

@@mtbwestyorkshire7679 I'm trying get good enough for the big gap but im not sure what speed to hit it. Couldn't see on your display but would you say 24mph is what you did it at? That's my guess.

[@mtbwestyorkshire7679]

I'd say the best way to figure out your own speed is to practice or maybe have someone to follow 1st. There's so many variables to consider which what speed to hit a jump at. I weigh close to 90kg and my bikes an extra 27kg plus I have a motor. Then there is wind direction and speed, ground conditions, jump technique (flow or boost) etc. I could tell you exactly how I do it but it isn't personal to you. Everyone is different. Practice and repeat is my motto. I've had to teach myself how to jump and I would say 80% of it is being in the correct headspace and believing in yourself. :) go out and enjoy yourself

[@kikii1]

@@mtbwestyorkshire7679 thanks. I've done the first 2 gaps and noticed the first is very easy and gives a natural arc but the second gap wants to tip you over the handlebars if you dont lean back. The table top a the bottom is also natural and easy to do. Does the big gap give a natural arc or does it want to make yo nose dive? I'm trying not to just send it and break my neck. Lol.

[@mtbwestyorkshire7679]

Which gap are you refering to? The line has changed a lot since this edit. If we break the line down into jumps as the are now ignoring the 1st hip type jump after the roll in you have the following.... 1 the bridge 2 the low racer tabletop 3 the triple 4 the quad before the 1st berm.
