Video: Atherton Diaries Episode 25 - Dirt Jumps, Foxhunt & BBQs

May 31, 2018
by Pinkbike Staff  

Rach previews this year’s Red Bull Foxhunt track. Unlike last year’s slopfest, the trails are bone dry and dusty. The Trek Remedy eats them up.

Meanwhile, Athy has been busy building the ultimate set of dirt jumps 50m from his house. Ant bought a banquet of slow roasted pulled pork for the whole crew to dig into after the family session.

And check out the Trek Race Shop special edition Fort William frames. Our head technician, Joe Krejbich spent some time building up Gee’s rig. The gorgeous silver and hot-rod red half and half, with a camo pattern, is sure to turn some heads at the biggest race of the year. Being in the middle of a heatwave we thought we’d go and hit up some flowy Welsh trails to christen the new frame… What we got, on the other hand, was monsoon season, lightning struck the hill and thunder rolled around us for minutes at a time. Probably the wettest day Wales has seen in a long time.

 Can someone try and explain what Dan does? He doesn't race or compete freeride stuff, he builds at Dyfi bike park, which is sort of just a private park and not open to the public and he build dirt jumps. But...how does he get paid to do all this?

 I like that we get to see them on dirt jumpers. They seem to be on every type of bike.

 Actually I really love this one. I don't care too much about the WC coverage, others do this better. But their jumping skills are so fine, love seeing that kind of stuff. Always suffer a bit through the music, but that's common with mtb videos these days. Luckily we still have NIco Vink to set things straight again Smile .

 I think it's a 360 degree camera like GoPro's Fusion.
