Outlines
😃 Exploring Limits of Gravel Bike
The narrator rides a Canyon Grizzle gravel bike to push its limits. He tries riding down dangerous stairs, being terrified at the lack of control. He then goes to the Twisted Oaks bike park to jump ramps and gaps, finding it handles air well. He hits large jumps on the PR line successfully including a risky backflip.
😨 Attempting Large Jumps
The narrator continues hitting larger jumps at the bike park, going off the big PR line. The jumps have sizable takeoffs that are especially scary on a gravel bike. He clears them well but notes they feel faster than normal since they are icy. He successfully lands a blind backflip due to the sun in his eyes.
🤩 Flair and Tricks in Skate Park
The narrator goes to Adrenaline Alley, Europe's biggest indoor skate park, to try more tricks on the gravel bike. Wanting better weather, he practices flares in the foam pit before landing one cleanly on a wooden ramp. He then successfully does a cannonball flip and other tricks, impressed with the bike's capabilities.
