Hello, you absolute LEGENDS of MTB. 🙌🏼

This is a video of the amazing day I had with friends at FOD, The Forest of Dean last weekend, as this video expands on the trails for Countdown and then Launchpad. Such an amazing day where we explored parts of the forest I had never seen before, had amazing conversations about our mental health, and I was able to continue to practice what I had learned in my last coaching session. 😊

What a lovely day and I cannot thank Richards, Becky and Jemma enough for joining me and making this such a special day. 🙏🏼

I cannot believe how much my Confidence, and I hope my Competence has improved in these last few months. 😊

I have so much yet to learn after starting MTB last year, where I am now getting more time in the saddle than when I started. I am still learning how to ride and practising the basics after my recent and brilliant 1:1 coaching session, and I cannot tell you how much of a difference this has made in my confidence and, hopefully, my competence on the bike.

Along with learning the basics of MTB, I am learning how to edit and create videos for my family and friends to enjoy and for anyone who has a similar interest in this wonderful and amazing hobby. 😉

If, like me you are new to MTB, learning from coaching sessions, and especially if you started a little later in life, where we don’t bounce anymore, we tend to snap, crackle and pop. 😉 Also, If you have ever experienced a crash ❤️‍🩹 and were a little nervous about getting back on the bike, please let me know your experience in the comments, and I would love to respond.

As always, this is Jason the Muppet wishing you absolute LEGENDS Happy Trails. 😊

Bike Park Wales Crash #short #shorts #shortsvideo #mtb #mountainbike #mtbuk #mountainbiking

Hello, you absolute LEGENDS. 🙌🏼

Here is a short clip of me riding at Bike Park Wales on the trail “Fforest Bump” in the snow ❄️ and having a couple of crashes, as I navigate the trail in rather unusual conditions for me. 😊

What an amazing day, and what an amazing experience as I continue to learn and experience new adventures and new conditions in MTB. 😊

This was filmed a week ago in March 2024, where I have noticed that if it's training near the cafe and cold, snow ❄️ could be waiting for you at the trailhead, making it a magical experience. 😍

Wishing you all many, many Happy Trails, my friends. 🤙🏼
