Gisburn’s Black MTB Section Put Me in My Place
Today I’m back at Gisburn Forest with Will, exploring sections I have not ridden before. We start out on plenty of red trail sections, and for a while I’m feeling pretty good. The riding is fun, the confidence is building, and it turns into a proper good MTB/eMTB day out. Then we hit the black section. One rock drop in particular gets in my head, and instead of sending it, I completely bottle it. No fake heroics, no pretending — just an honest average rider moment on a feature I was not ready for. We also meet a few subscribers along the way, explore some new parts of Gisburn, and still end up having a brilliant day on the bikes. If you ride MTB or eMTB and have ever gone from “I’ve got this” to “absolutely not,” this one is for you.
