Super Stylish UK Rider Olly Wilkins Finds 10 Seconds of Fun - Video

 a culture that brings forth things like Caterham, sausage-breakfast or Douglas Adams is ace in my book.

 You are right! You guys make us want to ride in the shittiest weather, on the 'lamest' trails, just because you can have a laugh and fuck about any time you go out! I'm trying to spread this vibe here because people are just too serious about their riding, gear, bikes... just go out smash some corners, jump and have fun!

 it replays not only to mountain biking, life as well! keep it up!

 What is British is that he may not appear serious, yet at the same time present a whole lot of massive skill. A bit like Monty Pyton or even Danny MacAskill. Or let me put it like this, the British use their skill to create something fun. Olly Wilkins is my favourite rider and I think he is more well rounded than people realize. My favourite video of his is probably his "sound of speed" edit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJgeBFwkW9Y

 I agree and the Brits rip

 Agree 100% you guys have it figured out.

 @eiiic: not all of us

 correct

 Oh I definitely agree there mate, take Slice of British Pie for example, absolutely nothing serious in there haha. Brit's are great at mucking around and not taking things seriously.

 @Nathan6209: nope, nothing figured out here

 @YoungGun13: mostly banter. Olly is great!

 @SCOTT-Sports: Agreed, he's great to watch. Not totally sure why I was downvoted to oblivion, that was meant to be a touch sarcastic...

 Somebody hasn't left the South East...

 You're spot on there. You can up it to 12 seconds when you do.

 @sideshowb: I've never been to the south east

 @Tom00Harrison: You're not missing much

 @sideshowb: I disagree dude. There's more to riding than the size of the hills. Most countries have bigger mountains than the UK - but the scene in the UK and specifically the south east is phenomenal. A place with not even one mountain has produced Brendan Fairclough, Sam Reynolds, Bernard Kerr, Olly Wilkins and numerous other pros. And not only that but there's a huge scene of kids riding in the Surrey Hills bringing a new generation through. There's definitely better riding to be had in Wales and in the North - but we're going pretty well with what we've got in the South

 Haha Love the humor

 @tom666: agreed. There are some good bikeparks in the south-east. Aston hill, Chicksands, Tidworth to name 3.

 @tom666: Yeah fair play that comment of mine was slightly tongue in cheek. What usually generates good trails is a thriving local scene so I imagine with so many of you down there, there must be some awesome runs about, even if they're not as long as natural lines in the Lakes for example.

 Excellent point.

 Yes they’ve just finished filming it now according to Tom Caldwell’s instagram.

 Shitty?? Where I live this kind of trail would be a godsent.

 And roundabouts

 @jamesdippy: Oh yeah, the roundabouts, how could I have forgotten about those bastard things.

 @tomsk123: move to a country where every roundabout is replaced with a traffic light and you will eat your words, trust me! Roundabouts are a god send!

 @jaame: not when they put traffic lights on roundabouts!

 @jamesdippy: true that!

 I think it's because when they edited the video they turned the volume WAY up to like %400. Notice the abnormally loud sounds the tire is making on the dirt? Yah

 Thank you!!

 He's sponsored by Focus... he already rides a Jam2 in some edits.

 @clarky78: Did not know that, cheers;
