I’m Matt Jones, a freestyle mountain bike rider. I’m Eddie Carlson, hard and doodle rider. So Eddie’s just been welcomed aboard the Marine Bikes team, Marine Mountain Bikes team. But as an enduro kind of moto rider. Turns out that skill set just makes you a legend at all things bikes. We’re actually going to do a game of bike. Starting off on these. So I think we’re going to expose my weaknesses really, but see what a legend Eddie is. Then tomorrow we’re actually riding mountain bikes, ebikes. I think he might see my weakness. Dude, you’re going to be You came from bike trials. You’re just going to be good at everything. So this video is the end of my career and the start of Eddie’s mountain bike career. Let’s do it. Eddie, can we start with wheelies? Yeah, of course. I can. Don’t know why I even asked. Yeah. Should we start with wheelie or should we make the reverse challenge? What do you mean reverse? It actually drives back. These are sick. Right. Go on then. Yeah. Annoying. That’s so hard. How many meters? Yeah, I said 5 m. Okay. Yeah. Whoa. Mama, that is probably done. Yeah. Going home. 5 m. He made it. He’s going to be so good at mountain bikes. I’m going to lose everything. Let’s go in the woods. Yep. Yeah. Through the woods. Hey, what do you think about the next step? A big step up. Everyone loves that. Well, I don’t. Uh, yeah. Show me. I don’t even I can’t even see what you mean. Right. A shame has happened in this order. Watch this. Let me go again. Yeah. I should say he’s a bit scared, I think, of twisting the right. Right. hand. You know, that’s better. But it’s still not good. Yeah, that’s good. Well, I think so far I’m safe from getting a letter B in the game of bike, but he’s just like every run is way past my like exceeds what I thought was possible. I know these are powerful when everyone says, “Oh, you got so much power.” But it’s like like so hard. Next one. Yeah. Let’s go and find something harder. Harder. Yeah. We’re not having that in the game. Time to step it up. Like level up because you make it good. The first two counts means a lot. But yeah, true. Yeah. So, what about make a jump and learn to wheelie? Oh, okay. Well, you know, I can’t even wheel it, right? So, show me Eddie’s version. Y I’m going to loop out onto my [ __ ] stick so hard. I can’t do it. How many tries he will get? It’s three. Oh, no. All right. That’s a letter B already. Yeah, that’s a B. It’s just going to be the theme of the day. That’s how it goes, man. All right. So, next challenge. Jump over the water. Have you ever made a drop with a dirt bike? Any I’ve never done a drop on a big bike. No. Not on a dirt bike. No. What do you mean over it? Cuz to the other side. Yeah. You should not land in the water. I won’t be able. There’s no way. It’s an uphill landing. Yeah. That doesn’t work. You can’t say like that. You’re mad. You can think I could do that. And you need to have some throttle when you land. Right. That hurt everything. And I’m aware if I don’t start doing some of this stuff, the day is going to be over very very very quickly. But yeah, first ever river gap on a big bike. Gosh. Onwards and upwards. Yeah. So, we just find a super enduro truck and uh let’s do some challenge over here. It’s going to be fine. Well, the first challenge will be like wheelie the the obstacles on track. So like including four obstacles. Yes. No way. Can you wheelie all of that? Yeah. Show me. No. Yeah. Let’s give him a chance. That was a really good price. I’ve got BI then. Yeah. Is that what I’m on? BI. Yeah. I’m lasting quite well. I’m not too bad at this. So, next challenge, going from back wheel to front wheel by using a log. So, we’re going to hit it with a rear wheel and pop it to a front wheel, nose wheelie. Not to blame the bike. Can you just prove you can do it on my bike, please? Yeah, sure. Right out. Right on, mate. Point through. Right. So, I got B I K. I’m running out of running out of it. That’s like how many people in the world could do that on a start? 118 kilos. You reckon? Two people. You who else really? You’re going to go from saying two people in the world can do that and I’m guessing the next thing is that’s your set for the game of bike, right? Yeah. I’ll bear that in mind tomorrow then. Oh. Well done. Cheers, mate. So, tomorrow. Yeah. Same again, but on a mountain bike. Yeah. Makes me think I’m going to have to really push the boat towards jumps and tricks. But yeah, I might be taking you on, mate. So, now it’s day two and we’re at Woven Bike Park where I grew up riding and we’re going to have another game of bike on E Mountain bikes this time, the Alpine Trail E, which Eddie’s got hooked up with, which is really cool. I’m particularly sore from yesterday. Yeah, but it was a cool day yesterday. The best. It’s insane. Absolutely loved it. But this will be really interesting. Eddie’s from a trials background, so he’s definitely got a lot of technical ability, but I’m keen to see how you are on the jumps, mate. Yeah, we’re going to have a lot of fun as on those bikes, I think. Yeah. Hopefully, you have a couple of crashes as well, friends, but you made me have a couple yesterday. Yeah. Let’s find a challenge. Yeah. This is a super unique one. Not many people ride it. The 270 BM. And then you jump back over where you came in. If you can clear the jump over the track you ride it on, you’ve done it. And he start with this. It’s not fair play. Like I got to make a huge crash here, but let’s do it. Let’s see what’s happen. Let’s go. Yeah. This is bad news for me. Right. So, we’ve got a pretty cool left hip here with two different takeoffs into the same landing. I’ll take the bigger one. You do what you want, but let’s see who can jump the furthest into the landing. Who can get the widest line? Dude, dude, he made it so far. He could beat that. But the way he’s going to be going off his takeoff means that he’ll also run over Lloyd the photographer. Probably take out two trees. But that’s how they grew up in Sweden riding, isn’t it? Just smashing through forest. Yeah, that looks good. Nice, bro. Like absolutely naturally you can hit it. Just natural. I twisting my wrist but nothing happened. Seriously? Yeah. Yeah. It’s like show me one more time. I’m pretty done here. I’m pretty done. Actually, I going to get a B on this one. Sake. Yeah, this bike is such a fun like playing around. It’s so light compared to my race bike. take it on free time and just go out and have fun with your friends. It’s awesome. It’s right, dude. Yeah. Right. This is a shark fin. Okay. She always like comes out of a B and they fall away. Sometimes they’re big. This one’s like still decent if you’ve never done it. Yeah. Then there’s two jumps. On the second one, there’s a black pad on the tree. Oh, yeah. So, my challenge is hit your first shark fin pin. Yeah. on that hip. Try and get your back tire to touch the back pad. So actually it’s two challenges in one. Yeah. But yesterday the whole challenge for me was riding a dirt bike, electric dirt bike. So there was all compound. Yeah. It will be fine. So that’s is the challenge to Yeah. But to get there you have to do this. Yeah. Okay. Is that good? Get a tree. Whack it. Wow. Everything you did was perfect. Yeah, that’s what’s good. You just went offline and not fast enough, but he even spat like you’re a natural. You go. You go. You do it, dude. You got it. Let’s go. But here we go. I like to compete, so I hate to lose. But anyway, we have fun, right, Matt? Happy and I’m scared. I don’t know why. It’s like it means the level is going up from this. I like your commitment. You’re not one to try and lose, are you? Yeah. No. No. Right. Next thing. No hander on this jump. Okay. Fair play. Yeah, you got that. But no chance I going to try that. Like I I need to be back on my motorbike. So I guess I get another letter. It’s mad seeing Eddie do jumps given that he’s never really done them. So down there there’s a big step up with two different takeoffs. The jump’s getting bigger. I just want to see him jump and land that step up. Either take off I don’t care, but that’s one of the biggest jumps at Wen and he kind of seems up for it. Probably if I hit it I don’t get in control, but we’ll see. you. Okay, doesn’t make it, dude. The challenge was actually just to jump the jump. Yeah, perfectly. Technically, you’ve done it. Yeah, he’s not going to say it, but he’s in a lot of pain. Um, and we’re lucky that one didn’t end badly. You basically jumped off of a house onto your hip. Yeah, basically. It’s fair to say you were 100% committed to every single challenge, which is insane. Especially the last one. I guess I won the mountain bike. Yeah, I have to come back. You’ve got to come back. Yeah, but you destroyed me on dirt bikes. Yeah. So, I think you’re the MVP and it’s actually sick to have you on the Marine Bikes team. We need to do more. Yeah, sure. Nice one, dude. Stay hooked. Dude, yesterday when we were finished for a ride, he actually crashed. He went over the bars into a river. No, it wasn’t a river. I filmed it on this. Play it now. You’re going to drown. Yeah. Right. I set my set is riding this river. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. How many times have you fallen in a river on a dirt bike? 100. A few hundred. Yeah.
