Video: Matt Jones Builds & Rides an Oak Tree Barrel Roll

Jan 29, 2021
by Ed Spratt  


bigquotesAfter parking the epic MTB tree gap due to some knocks to the head, I've been searching for more creative lines to make use of trees in the woods and build some new features to do tricks on. For this build and ride myself and my friend Dan found a perfect tree with a decent curve and hill to try a barrel roll / corked backflip off of the trunk of an oak tree into a dirt jump landing. Enjoy some build lapses, riding and tricks.— Matt Jones

 Well this remind me some times in Woburn back in 2005 with some crazy twins 10 years old who kept asking why we built this and that .
I am so glad these 2 are still the same having fun in the wood.

Great Job Matt

 That tree gap was never going to work, the tree was leaning in a way that was only going to result in a free-fall, he seemed to know this yet still kept trying, nutter!
