AKA Joe Smith gets RAW in Shropshire on a 2017 Nukeproof Mega 290.

Just listen to the awesome sounds in this video as Mr Smith thuds and rips and drifts his way down various delicious bits of Shropshire singletrack.

The video is shot in characteristically un-glam, straight-out-of-camera stylee but up and coming Caldwell Visuals. Their stuff is always watch worthing so keep an eye for their name in the credits of vids.

Well worth watching to the end. Not just for the eagerly over-jumped jump but also for the £800-phone-destroying antics on a frozen pond.
