Is This The Ultimate MTB Track? | Brook MacDonald's Dream Track

Laurie Greenland MTB Symphony in Bike Park Wales | Sound of Speed

Laurie Greenland is a man who rarely shies away from a challenge, especially a MTB challenge. This year he teamed up with Duncan Ferris and the rest of the team from Bike Park Wales, where they've built an absolute 🔥 of a line named “Vanta”. Before the trail officially opened to the public (yes, you can hit these jumps IF you have the skill to do it), Laurie had his own time to test it... and that's how the latest Sound of Speed episode was born. Laurie's trail is named "Vanta" and is now open to ride at Bikepark Wales. The trail is graded "pro line" and features mandatory features and large gap jumps so is suitable highly skilled and experienced riders only.

Sam Hill & the Mega 290c: Race Proven

The internet may have just repaired itself from Sam Hill’s breaking it last week. We’re stoked Sam’s staying with Nukeproof for another 3 years (minimum). Probably time to show him riding the new Mega:

With Sam was absent from the 2020 Enduro World Series rounds, he’s not been in full feet up mode, although it has been nice for him to “relax” and enjoy a full year at home with his young family for the first time in his illustrious career. The V4 Mega is a ground up design and Sam’s been out to ensure the bike is dialled for the 2021 season. He’s even been putting in times against the clock (and winning) at his local Western Australia Gravity Series. With Sam taking a hattrick of Enduro World Series titles on the Mega V3, the V4 Mega had some big shoes to fill. But the redesigned V4 Mega has allowed our engineers to implement some fresh thinking and changes on both 27.5” and 29” platforms. Geometry changes, all new linkage and suspension curve and a full carbon frame (with a fully optimised carbon layup).

Sam’s weapon of choice is again will again be the Mega 290c, seen here built to Team Chain Reaction Cycles-Nukeproof spec featuring components from a full selection of Nukeproof & Sam Hill Signature components along with Sram’s AXS set up, Rockshox ZEB fork, MRP AMG guide and DH22 rubber from Michelin. “My initial impression of the new (V4) Mega is how quick and positive it feels to change lines and direction on the trails. The changes also make it feel a lot more playful to ride, but really stable when you’re going fast.”- Sam Hill

The new 2021 Mega: Race Proven. Filmed in Western Australia at the awesome Linga Longa. Taking on some of his favourite enduro and downhill trails. For those that may not have been to this area, the park is pretty remote, situated about 3 hours from Perth, towards the southernmost tip of Western Australia. Originally the land was bought in 2012 as a family retreat by owner Boxer (as he put it “to run wild and free”). As a relative local Sam has been instrumental in helping design and build in the park along with hundreds of volunteers. What they have created is a little piece of MTB paradise, well worth a visit https://www.lingalongabikepark.com​ Edit by Mark Garlic
