TRAIL BLAST

 The trail looks fun but very physical.Cant wait to get up there and do some clearing as it is a bit over grown still. Thanks for watching mate.

 Over grown is our life story mate, hahahahhah The weeds are horrendous here in Japan. Last Sunday we spent a full day with a crew of 5 rebuilding and eroded section and filling the erosion with rocks placing them together like a puzzle to make a strong trail that will last. We did a great job I think. Good luck mate! thanks for showing! rideOn!

 nice work mate....i love trail building just as much as riding but find i dont do both.I have spent 1 month doing work and didnt have time to ride......by the time i got the bike going i was out of bike fitness hahaha

 Thanks for the nice comment mate.We didnt put much time into filming this ride as we rode about 17km....very tired still hahaha

 Nice amigo.i like your video.i have to start making other too. see u amigo.

 yes mate i loved you video of self filming.please do more.

 Got caught up on a prickle vine on the way down.Only one cut to my body on this trail is a good day.I am really liking the colour combo on this bike.I am not as into "blinging my rig" as i used to be as i would rather be buying spec to help me ride better than being pretty but i must admit i have found myself looking at pretty parts to add to the Trance.Gotta say that i love this bike.I have spent so long trying to set the suspension and cockpit up i was about to right the bike off as "not for me" then i found the sweet spot by mistake and have never felt better on the trail.....thanks for watching J

 SJ,
I know what ya mean, I am a perpetual tweeker when it comes to set up .....
Good that you got it dialed in !!
Just that word....... "bling"........ it comes from a genre of humans that I don't wish to associate with....know what I mean ? In my country there is a rampant dumbing down of society through "that genre"......But I do appreciate the mechanical art of it all, and I have certainly "blinged" out many bikes over the years...anodized alloy and powder coated steel, in the right combos is a cool thing to look at. IMHO..... I have a wicked dry hopped IPA read for you right now bro ! Come on over !!!

 Yes Mate it is a really nice one.We only did about 2 km of it or a bit less but we could see about 3km of rough rocky trail up a steep section that we were not ready to take on hahaha.

 Wish I was there for a blast also !!!

 Simon you would love this trail.....its flowy and has some tech stuff too.Its a bit of a hike up but as you could imagine the filthy fun was loud and proud hahaha.

 Good dry weather equals fast, fast, fast !!!!!!!!!

 yes it does Simon but its a shame we are so slow , slow , slow lol

 Both looking good on that ride bro, how's the endurance training going?

 Well mate we are getting better.I can only speak for me but the arms, shoulders and legs felt strong and the bike felt amazing.We didnt spend much time filming as it was all about a long ride.We just filmed a bit of the new bit and felt great so we packed the cam up and carved the hill to bits....well,in our slow way ahhaha

 You are good riders bro, don't put yourself down! I'd love to spend a few months over there with my x-country experience, working with you on cadence, long distance, motivation.....

I won the ebay case with the shitty 3d glasses that was supposed to be a go-pro. My other 5mg camera came....don't know what i'm doing wrong but strapped it to the rc cars and filmed it blasting around the street! It's a 720HD in 5mg, but can be tweaked down to 360 and 60fps....I can get sound on windows media player, but no bloody vision???? I don't know what I'm doing wrong bro? I want to film around here but how can I get vision also? If I play back on the laptop it's fine, sound and vision of a bloody remote control car flying around, but to upload to PB I can't ???

 Hmmmm,the reason I am trying a new edit software is due to windows movie maker not being real good with HD stuff.
Go to windows movie maker and edit your vid.Then select "save for computer" and she should pop up in your documents or video file.Then upload to PB......good luck hahaha i am f*cking hopeless at computer stuff.

And if you came over here for a while we would love it....with you XC experience and piss take abillity mixed with our humour we would have a memory to last forever.We would love to ride with you,ricardo , niko niko and his Japan crew,Mr and Mrs slackliner and big Jeff the yank.....dreams come true bro.

 Yes good song mate. I cut my arm on a spikey vine on the way down the hill. thank you mate

 Cheers stunt.gotta have good time or its a waste of time..

 Thanks mate.we didnt really do much filming as we wanted to try out our fitness and bike setups.We are just camera junkies hahaha

 Cheers bro
