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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@Kobe_rides_bmx]

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 🤟🎶

[@edburdick229]

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

[@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!

[@rock-and-dirt]

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

[@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

[@davidtaylor111]

That you complimented his tracksuit was hilarious

[@davidfox9428]

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

[@BraydenSaari]

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

[@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 😂

[@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????

[@gingershark5]

Them goodyear tryes look so sick

[@MrClean2564]

Let’s get Matt to 1 mil

[@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.

[@benfulford3943]

Good evening professor Matt!

[@Elim_84]

Love this Collab when it comes around

[@skibz2008]

Sam pilgrim needs to go to Matt’s private skatepark

[@natandirt]

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

[@alexanderklimenko123]

That pump track looks sick

[@domgray7587]

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

[@dawnkangas2968]

Absolutely awesome

[@grakkerful]

I am absolutely loving the collabs.

[@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.🔥

[@chrisfoz1948]

How fantastic that making your own tyre? Go boy!

[@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!🔥🤙

[@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.

[@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.

[@mrstevemackay1]

Haha Sam riding backwards at the end!😂😂😂

[@larsmtb0616]

More videos with Sam please

[@paulmurden7621]

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

[@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

[@ericlaroche5010]

this vid is about to be insane

[@oliverpitt7854]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@jimg8164]

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

[@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 !

[@mrbd9286]

Can already tell its gonna be a belter

[@Invinciblemoam]

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

[@SweetJandalsBruv]

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

[@benadams6512]

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

[@freshturns_snowboarding]

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

[@JaydepoolMusic]

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

[@Johnny_kueter]

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

[@davidrichardson8394]

"nice tracksuits" lol legendary

[@duanegerousss]

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

[@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.

[@o.gbobbyjohnson6765]

Pumped to see Sam

[@buffetline2605]

RedBull and Monster have combined powers!

[@JournalJunkie]

What a interesting video, love it!👍🏽

[@karduar]

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

[@mead813]

I love the lab coat! Haha

[@mattiasginsby350]

man sam got some real speed on the that pumptrack

[@CHRIS_snm]

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

[@johnnyrichmond31198]

EPIC!!!!!!!!!! 💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

[@Hanitcal69]

That machine is so cool

[@bhew7409]

That security guard was so sweet.

[@davegorie4762]

Sam needs to be invited to the playground and your compound

[@nebularider3626]

Sam and Matt!

[@danielthompson743]

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

[@Danilad89]

You need to get sam to the playground and your skatepark

[@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

[@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 😂

[@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

[@wharfedalelocksmiths5430]

Love it lads get more together nice as ❤😁

[@TheShift1313]

Can we take a moment to appreciate Matts fakie!!

[@logang6583]

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

[@WellGWiz]

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

[@mikek4537]

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

[@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

[@ZacJeffries2146]

Yeah the boys

[@dxrksku]

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

[@cjrobins9994]

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

[@dhbdaily]

😂😂😂

[@leotuyrrell8033]

YOOOOOOO no way im early. loving the content bro

[@Fredmtb34]

It looks straight out of skate 3

[@andrewsher1]

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

[@KrinKzOoR1]

Looks like a park straight from a Tony Hawk game!

[@kieranbrain3733]

NICE TRACKSUIT 😂

[@4perta]

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

[@4perta]

At you park

[@CotyD]

Ben has changed

[@anthonyhoughton2683]

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

[@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 👍👌

[@Trasselkalle]

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

[@russell13mx]

Your back brake turned into a rubber chicken!
