Kye says …

For part 2 of the Road Trip we jetted north – for Revolution Bike Park and Descend Hamsterley. I rode BMX at Revo  for Red Bull Quartermaster, but I’ve not ridden a DH’er at either – so I was itching to get stuck in.

Both spots were rad and gave me a chance to ride with Gaz Brewin and Scott Mears – two guys I’ve raced against but not had a good old day of shredding with. It was great to see how fast those boys are on their local trails. I spent the day chasing them and trying to keep up!

Last but not least, we swung by my local freeride spot back home in Devon for a bonus bit of footage. I’ve been working on my DH bike backflips for a while and it was good to get those in the video.

Cheers!

Thanks to Cal Earnshaw for shooting the videos and to Ian Lean for the rad photos.

Thanks to Flyup Downhill, Revolution Bike Park, Descend Hamsterley and everyone else for their hospitality.

And finally – thanks to Nukeproof and Mudhugger for making the trip happen!
