That Nick dude looks like a legend

[@SamsBikes]

haha totally is a natural rider a legend..

[@chickenclips]

nice one Nick, keep it up and keep riding champ. What a blast. See he got a little souvenir on his right elbow -:D

[@SamsBikes]

Thanks MR Lips... how you going ? Nick had a little brain fart and fell over while turning the duck around..

[@chickenclips]

@@SamsBikes going good champ. Not done much riding so am itching to get out. Looks like 2021 will be a "camera" upgrade in the ebike world.

[@SamsBikes]

What ?! New camera 🎥?! Mate watch this space next 3-4 weeks I’ll be riding a new 21 bike with a special motor

[@chickenclips]

@@SamsBikes lol no it was a yearly mobile phone upgrade reference. We expect big things but only get a better camera and flashy new colours each year. Cool looking forward to something new and fresh. Keep up the awesome work

[@johnwilliamson9453]

Excellent! When you get into the gnarlier stuff, I would talk about when to stand. Very important in learning to dance with the bike!

[@SamsBikes]

defo.. I think Nick really is a natural and we will follow his progress

[@kawaZR1000]

thanks for the tips. I just decided to enter the e-mtb world with a Decoy soon after several years of not mountain biking. Like your videos and Tutorials.

[@SamsBikes]

nice good luck with it all... any question I'm here to help

[@jaybrightwater4055]

Nice one Sam! Thanks for sharing this on "eBike Smile eMTB Community" fb group as we have lots of new members at the moment.

[@SamsBikes]

Thanks Jay I hope all is well

[@dhincks1]

Thanks Sam, from California. Cheers mate!!

[@SamsBikes]

My pleasure glad you liked it.

[@andyking6061]

Great wee instructive video. Reckon I’ll get some local advice in due course to improve my skills. Cheers Sam

[@SamsBikes]

Andy best money you can spend is some lessons really do it over spending more money on up grading your bike.

[@ciprian_s]

Great vlog Sam !

[@SamsBikes]

Thanks rider how's the duck going ?

[@ciprian_s]

Sam’s Bikes awesome. It’s great ! I’m very pleased , but probably first thing that I will change will be the breaks. You’re right about it !

[@stevenbelow2502]

As a beginner I found it interesting that you talk about keeping the pedals at a 9 o'clock/3 o'clock position when descending. Some of the other skills videos show you how to alternate a 10 o'clock/6 o'clock position as you work your way through turns so you can keep your weight centered above the crank as you lean the bike over. Can I assume that since it's a "beginner" rider that you didn't want to muck things up by piling too much on his plate at the outset? Obviously the end result of this day's ride was to avoid catastrophic pedal strikes.

[@SamsBikes]

Interesting 🤔 I’ve never been a teacher before I just try and break down what I do and feel when I ride and it seems to work I never never have my pedals at 12 and 6 wheels going dh. But maybe the other teachers have a point. Good luck with the learning baby steps often is the key 🔑

[@ssse3123]

Seat height - fully extended leg - YES. But when pedaling with your HEELS. Then it's correct!

[@TheForeverchanges]

"It can get loose pretty quickly " Oh yea! Loving my new e-mountain bike and knee pads

[@SamsBikes]

it can haha... nice mate what did you get?

[@TheForeverchanges]

@@SamsBikes Trek Rail 7. Great bike for the Pacific Northwest in Oregon. 64 years on the planet and still shredding! Perhaps flowing is more accurate. E- mountain bikes are a game changer. Enjoy your videos and enthusiasm. Thanks!

[@GlaucusBlue]

Have you got any videos or talked about diy ebikes? looking to get into it after 20 year brake and an several more stone, so not fit enough to peddle uphill and ebike even cheapest is out of my budget. Any opinions or experience. Doubt I'll progress uabove blue trails. For such trails do you really need full sus? Or would hard tail be fine?

[@JittyLaRoot]

GlaucusBlue 5k gets u an ebike

[@GlaucusBlue]

@@JittyLaRoot yes and 5k is a hell of a lot of money and well outside what I can afford. Edit - where I could get a 2nd hand bike handrail or full sus, plenty of 2010 ish santa Cruz, kona etc and fit a bbs02 or tsdz02 with battery for 1k, which I could afford. But would durability, ground clearance etc all be ok. Then if I enjoy, get a proper ebike in like 2-3 years off saving.

[@JittyLaRoot]

@@GlaucusBlue just go on pinkbike and search the ebike section. Sure you will find a decent second hand one for a good price.

[@SamsBikes]

sorry mate I only really talk about good ebikes and we ride them pretty hard not sure I would want to ride anything I built

[@BABALOOEY46]

How did he crash?

[@SamsBikes]

He actually had a brain fart and just fell over.. while turning the bike around

[@davidramsay9217]

skint elbow did he have wee excursion into the undergrowth if you don't come off you're no trying 😁👍

[@SamsBikes]

haha totally got to break some eggs... thanks for watching

[@desrosij]

You are burning fat at any heart reat level, it is the % of glucose and fat that will be different depending on the intensity. Further more, burning fat is all about calories in and out, so you will burn calories at a higher intensity and you will burn more calories as you get fitter. Riding at a high intensity will get you fitter, by elevating your V02 MAX, so do not be afraid to ride at any level of intensity.

[@SamsBikes]

sorry mate not a pro on this but I have ridden bikes my whole life and know that someone that isn't that fit you try and get them to do high intensity training1 they can get injured easy and 2 they will never come riding with me again.. need to make it fun and enjoyable and people with get fit without knowing it.

[@desrosij]

@@SamsBikes Hi...your right ! Like any physical acticity, you start buy laying the fondation and go from there...my response was to make the precision that you burn calories at any level of intensity. So...you lose weight regardless the type of riding you do...fat burning zone is over rated. Thanks for the good bike info Mate

[@MrDaymien1]

well done Nike ,,, get an ebike !

[@SamsBikes]

he is totally hooked not sure ill get my bike back haha
