Hey guys welcome back to another video I’m back out in New Zealand I’ve gone from Queens well from South Africa in Cape Town to Queenstown in New Zealand which is pretty much the dream location at this time of the year um the weather in the UK is absolutely shocking so
We’re now in absolute glorious Sunshine living the dream and I have got another custom painted bike when I had my black one painted up for dark rest they custom pained me up the race bike as well so I have this absolute Beauty it is the 24 Giant Glory race bike in an
Absolutely glorious color like a m like a what is it like a white marble with gold giant logos so it looks pretty trick full sun tour vented up got the rocks on it the V I think it’s V I think that’s how you pronounce it rear sh can
Of tires yeah all DMR componentry as well it’s pretty pimp this bike I’m actually stoked on it so yeah this is the bike I’ll be riding for a little bit while while I’m in here in New Zealand for sure yeah let’s stop talking let’s go do some biking let’s do [Applause] it
Oh my God love a good hole there a few big [Applause] yeah can’t really see tinted lenses are on Jee that’ be scary should probably TI up that so many G’s through the corners it was like just enough that I was like this we did I hear your bike Bon out there Joe
As you if you follow me on insta you know I’m out here with Jo Anderson and staying at Conor at Carlin’s house which is really dreamish Conor’s come out for a nice ride as well with us just put slaps in the bike park on the new bike it’s a bit
Scary definitely got it set for Hing not for bike pars very [Applause] Stead [Applause] I can’t see anything behind you two with t on trying so hard not to keep dust up oh fun though [Applause] when that’s a lot harder to see I can’t remember if it’s down there or
Yes that one is there are two yeah Cinder Cinder bro [Applause] oh [Applause] oh [Applause] [Applause] rer Jo so we’ve dropped in to Jedi is probably one of the steeper more gnarly tracks I don’t really think it’s actually a trap I think it’s a kind of a bit of a pirate
One actually looks pretty sick following Joel’s little Hops and gaps oh ters boy I don’t have the b control for that especially not to the left oh what just trying to manage control the speed tip toe way down that a big tree that had sna up the
Toping now it actually goes off the cliff going down there yeah so and TI and it’s the same gradi as Tre it follows and just like a shoot into the quarter the quarter’s all wrecked but there’s a a shoot how do you ride the quarter oh you can’t just ride up go the
Lift Let It Go carve it yeah you just ride it now you I don’t think it’s really like it used to be a quter us to be a you’ve never that in the west have you yeah probably right yeah pine trees are good there’s one bit in the middle and second
Which definitely glad I let some air pressure out oh yeah oh I didn’t go I left Tania to not do this stuff think I know where I’m going that was quite gnarly really gnarly have you gone off The Rock and like doubled in no it does look like
People heav doesn’t it yeah yeah yeah t of work oh oh definitely went the wrong way there what’s the other way finally someone speaking my language what’s wrong with it it’s just full of [ __ ] huge holes what’s the new way just want to ride it you got much longer bike than
Me try it that sounds brilliant over there I got ly Corner yeah the one and only whoa right down there TR yeah this been in the W is loose oh I can imagine this is really garly gear isn’t it couple rocks so slick wow when you
Look up you can’t move you can navigate on the bik I’m actually going to take these off it’s not that Dusty it’s the fastest possible mode of Transport down here but m B probably yeah nothing be much quicker would it no you could probably run down but you probably have some injuries
Yeah your leg um so I think this is where some of some of the Rocks Sky start coming into the oh it came down here did they no they oh wow I can actually see now that the gogg was on w [Applause] oh God how’s
Matt I had a lot I heard a lot of shouting I think he’s all good yeah good I nearly had a [ __ ] huge high side bikes off honestly I’ve never anything like it just like BMX dropping there um this is 2025 Hardline they’re just going to build a
Few massive HS in Middle what’s that 2025 hard line oh you could build a Hardline track down here million per we’ve got a little bit of a hiker bike here oh pine cone done this on the ebike cono ridden all the way across it would just be the slabs that
Be slippy us to be a lot better no wow that’s good fun that’ll be way better next time as well that we know when there’s like little jump yeah wow I actually really like them yeah I’ve heard nothing but good things about yeah I tried to get to see me dropping in
Oh saved it quick footp plant I definitely [ __ ] is it yeah f what an insane first day on the hill new bike’s pretty pretty incredible really for the stuff we riding here as it is a full race bike so pretty dreamy definitely need a bit more bike set up
And a bit more tweaking to get it to be more optimal for the riding here but pretty good for the first day yeah hope you guys have enjoyed this video and I’ll catch you in the next one peace
