World's End Loop - Llangollen (MTB Wales)

[@BikingVikingMTB]

Great video mate and a new sun nice to meet ya too 🤘🤘

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Cheers John. Great to meet you and well done with making it down that last trail. It was no joke!

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Fantastic video mate, glad you enjoyed the hardtail 😀 sorry about the terrible brakes, I’m going to upgrade them soon, they’ve been terrible from new 😩 that off piste was a bit special 🤣 well done mate, it was bad enough on the full suss with working brakes 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣 great meeting you again, it was a fantastic day on the bikes 😀👍🏻

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks Marc and thanks once again for the loan of the bike. At the end of day a bike with bad brakes is 1000% better than no bike. I bet it will be a corking ride with some good stoppers 👍

[@madmoikmadmoik6290]

I think the last bit is some of the best riding you have shown so far on this channel. I watched in awe

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks dude. I needed to change my pants afterwards 🤣🤣🤣 It was a little too real in places.

[@ckMTB]

Very cool to see you riding with the guys in England again Darren. Stunning scenery and great trails. But the trails towards the end were so damn steep that even on the GoPro recordings you thought you were flying over the handlebars. Too bad Christian couldn't be there but it was really cool to see you with the boys. Hardtail action with shitty brakes, that's an adventure😂. Ride on and see you soon buddy🤙

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

It was awesome to catch up with the boys. There is so much good riding in the UK that people back home are completely unaware of. You don’t necessarily need big mountains for great trails! See you soon fella 👍

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Hopefully see you soon mate when I come over 😊

[@ckMTB]

@@ElectricMountainBiker Oh yes, I hope so too, it won't be long until June. Get well soon and have a nice weekend Christian✌

[@Bessunger]

Oh wow, first part was stunning, love these trails and this english / welch scenery. Last part oh man, heavy stuff, great job!

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks Thorsten. That last trail was terrifying and amazing all rolled into one!

[@Stopadoodledoo]

What a day this was and what a video, your reaction down the off piste is legendary 😂 And to think I said at the top that it wasn't that bad... steady away 😂

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks for showing me this cracking ride. I was certainly a little taken aback by the off piste section, which I thought would make for some good viewing. Good job I can track stand pretty well!!!!

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

Great video Darren. I should have been there but it was my lads 21st . Having ridden Marc's bike for a short section of trail I would question how SRAM can call them brakes. Honestly thought I was riding with v-brakes 😂. Looks such an epic loop and the off piste.....scary as ......😮. Nice one 😎

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks Jonathan. Pity you couldn’t make it, but your lad will only turn 21 once and I’m sure we’ll have other opportunities. Thankfully all that mud hid the brown stains on the trousers after the off-piste section 🤣

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland Cheers matey. We will, no doubt. Though don't wear those pants when we do, you scruffy chuff 😂😂😂

[@TrailTales]

The Crow: "It can't rain all the time..." The Wales: "Hold my beer..." Also... Nothing like a steep raw chute after you've been slogging through mud the whole day to make you question your sanity!! Nice vid as always Darren!

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Cheers Phil. Thankfully, even if my pants didn’t survive, my sanity did 🤣

[@TrailTales]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland Hahahaha... Those days when somehow you get mud on the inside of your pant as well... :D

[@gavindean]

Well done mate awesome skills👍new trail and a new bike looked doggy as 😮

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

The bike was a real eye opener. Super capable. The last trail was something else.

[@stillrocking]

You did a damn good job in that typically British conditions! big up Darren!👍🏽👍🏽

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks Dani. That last trail made the snowy chute on your home trails look like child’s play 🤣🤣🤣

[@gethappycyclingcampingoutdoors]

Great video, I may be heading there this Sunday, hopefully will be able to have a ride. ✌❤

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Have fun! Hopefully, it won’t be as wet as it was when I was there 😉

[@JayRidesTrails]

The land of the red dragon 😍 beautiful! (except for the riding conditions maybe) Cool to see you got to ride a HT after such a long time! 👍 are those SRAM Guide brakes? Got them on my HT and yeah... they're... different 😄

[@JayRidesTrails]

Btw that inofficial trail section seemed a lot like some trails on Heidelberg Königstuhl!

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Cheers Jay. Those SRAM Guides have no business being on an otherwise seriously capable bike.

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

@@JayRidesTrails That last trail was absolutely insane, especially in the wet!

[@JayRidesTrails]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland fair enough 😄 I might need to change them at some point, true

[@sergioelcoyote3586]

Great vídeo my friend😀👏👏👏

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thank you Sergio 🙏

[@PedalhoundsTV]

Llangollen, my home town, love that spin

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

It’s a fab loop. Perfect for experiencing the joys of the hardtail!

[@pat192]

Beautiful scenery and challenging trails, what more could you want?

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Some better weather wouldn’t have been bad, but I’m not complaining. It was a great day out.

[@Owen_Earl]

Love a good hardtail!

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

I totally understand where you’re coming from 👍

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Mate, that was brilliant 😊 However, couple of noob mistakes, first puddle you came to, never ask how deep it is, just rode through it like Marc did 😂 Secondly, the brakes don't need bedding in, they are just awful 😂😂 Thirdly, when Jason says it is not that bad, it always is far worse than bad 👀 That last trail looks terrifying, especially that vertical roll towards the end!!! Glad you had a great time, and other than the brakes you seemed to fully grasp the attraction of a good hardtail. Think this is the first time I have heard you swear that much 🤬😂😂😂 Hopefully I will be for and ready for June 👍🏻 Apologies I couldn't make this ride 😞

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

I bow to your greater wisdom and promise not to make the same mistakes again! All the swearing was fully justified on that last trail. You were sorely missed mate. Hope the leg’s on the mend. Looking forward to seeing you in June.

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland haha no wisdom from me, I never had that skill 😂 No doubt I will also be finding out what that trail is like at some point 👀👀Swearing shows just how crazy a trail or must have been, you did good considering no brakes really.....

[@HallMarc_Trails]

@@ElectricMountainBiker Nonsense, the brakes allowed him to not back out of stuff instead of just stopping 🤣🤣

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

@@HallMarc_Trails 🤣🤣🤣 this is also true

[@MTBScotland]

How long you over for Darren

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Just a week. Heading back on Saturday.

[@harrynash1127]

I know where that track is me and my mates do it all the time where that rock roller is its been chipped away somehow so know you have to drop of it 9:46

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

It’s an awesome trail - very spicy!

[@sim-sam]

Hardtail on a descent with some slippery slopes and "some" brakes: Gnarly!

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Tell me about it 🙈

[@teamohlesgars]

Darren t’est narvallo complètement pour rouler la dans la boue comme ça 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

The UK guys mostly say they prefer that to when it’s really dry!!!!
