Myself and @TomCardy were lucky enough to be allowed to go to Twisted Oaks Bikepark before they reopen to the public! However this time I took the downhill bike to try. I have used the once before at Aston Hill Bikepark but never tried to jump it or go off drop offs so it was interesting to see how I go on! I hope you enjoy the video!

@johngoodchild44064 years ago You're improving so quickly now Kara. Twisted Oaks is just down the road from my Ipswich home. You have convinced me to give it a look.
@

@drmoynihan4 years ago That was great! Wish we had a track like that here, but we have plenty of hills and mountain. :)
Personally, I like your riding on the non-electric bike better, but each to their own.
Loved your sick rides. :) ... 4

@vikingo48774 years ago So good to see you on a proper big bike! Just let us know if you and Cards wanna go to Andorra this summer and me and my wife can show you around the park. You both are pretty much on the same level. Would be fun.

@

@

@LPx0074 years ago Yes Kara!! that was so sick!🤘🏻🤘🏻 You're so good on that bike, love it...can't wait to see your new bike though...will it be an eBike? hope so. Anyway keep it up!😎
@

@Pesmog4 years ago Well done great progress. You could possibly take a few psi out of those front forks as they hardly seemed to compress at all under high loads, although admittedly it is difficult to tell without a slowmo. 1
@

@ianblueadventure4 years ago Ahhh that’s so nice park you have in there to practice...
@

@Cartsp704 years ago Yes Kara , doing good , I’d only say remember when you hit the lip of the step up you need heavy feet and light hands , push into the suspension a bit to pump , a you’re doing amazing though , 😍🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
@

@chargeriderepeat70244 years ago These are days you will remember when youre older.....what a summer.
@

@simonbikemedia19514 years ago Great progression!!!! But please that enduro gap is extreme and you would look great in a pair of riding pants. :)
@

@ericm88114 years ago Hey Kara Beal! You hit that step up like a champion! ride ride! 3
@

@kerrysupporter4 years ago You getting really good. Nice 👍 bike 🚲 also. Is it hard to cycle it uphill?? 1
@

@001ede4 years ago Any parks like that close to Crawley??
@

@chrisc66954 years ago Nice. Your doing very well. Tom's a good camera man lol
@

@jameskatz37474 years ago I think if cara could get a few more cranks in before a jump he could clear them easily and I noticed she doesn’t pedal on the slalom track and she could be so much quicker
@

@eduardo42354 years ago What does it mean "to tag a jump"?
@

@Freddie.0.44 years ago Could u do a progression video u have come on so far
@

@richardbarton74 years ago Bike suits you , look way more relaxed than on heavy ebike.
@

@svanhoogstraten4 years ago Looking better and better on the bike. The one thing I notice is that your very stiff and apprehensive on the bike. Your body needs to flow with the motion of the bike. When you jump your upper body is straight up and down and not bent forwards with the direction of the jump ...
@

@r33skyline4life3 years ago Must be running the bike firm I see as suspsension doesn't move that much.
@

@ideapap14 years ago Pretty rad to see you ride but you look a bit to stiff when you jump
@

@ogluhta39224 years ago Your style is like a potato riding a bike! Get more loose on it and flow this is just too tense, let the bike work and ease up a bit 😎Keep smashing tho🙂 1
