Bukit Ambok, Tutong

It took only two Pegion Riders to create this video. Took less then an hour to take the video footages. Takes more then three days to edit and complete the video clip.

The clip is simply titled, Bukit Ambok, Tutong

Only small part of Bukit Ambok track are shown in this clip. More footages will be taken in the near future. Do let us know if you like what you see.

The Art of Freeriding – Part 1 (Safety First)

For those who are interested in freeriding, there are a few things you need to understand. First thing that we are really concern while freeriding is our safety. In this part we will explain the safety precaution taken into consideration by Three Pegion Rider.

These are the safety measure taken by freerider. Most of the things here, we do recommend to be worn while freeriding:

1. Full face helmet: To protect your most important asset, head and face. Some freerider also wears normal cycling helmets or even skate style helmets, depending on the condition of track, and style of riding.
2. Goggles: To protect your eyes from flying debris such as mud and stones, very useful during wet conditions.
3. Hydration bag: To sustain your body hydration while riding, very important during those long hot freerides.
4. Full fingered gloves: Not only it protect your fingers when you fall but it also protects your well manicure fingers from cuts and bruises.
5. Loose, comfortable and solid pants: Less restriction to lower body movement and protect your lower part on contact with branches and other stuffs.
6. Knee and shin guards: Impact to the knee is one of the things everybody should avoid. There are time when your feet slip of the paddles and resulting in the most painful paddle and shin contact, this occasionally happens mostly during drop and jumps.
7. Grippy, comfortable and solid shoes: To prevent slippage from the paddle and protect your feet from impact during crashes.

We do recommended freeriders to wear other stuff like, body armor, arm and elbow guards and lower body protection such as padded pants. It all depend on the condition of the track and your style of riding.

In the next part we will explain on the other things you need to understand about freeriding, so stay tune, think safe and keep on rolling.

Late ride at Bukit Ambok

Sunday, was a gloomy day and started out so slow. Spend all day watching tv and taking short nap. At around 4:00pm I was woken up from my short nap by a message from Cimut, asking me to go met up at Jerudong to go for a ride at Bukit Ambok. Took me 15 minutes to dump my bike and get all my gear into the car. At around 5:00pm, Cimut arrived at the meeting point at Jerudong. The Journey took us around 20 minutes from Jerudong. We reach the peak of Bukit Amobok just after 5:30pm

Due to time constraint, we decide to ride the track that lead to Tutong town. It took us only less then 2 minutes to ride all the way down. The last part of the track was a bit flat. At the end we had to stop due to thick bushes, not as we expected. On the way back up we decided to venture to one of the other tracks. To our amazement the other track has a lot of freeride potential. It was fast, a single track, lots of tree roots, sweet drops and a bit of uphill paddling, just like what we prefer our freeride track to be.

As was promised in the last post, we managed to take some few shots at Bukit Ambok. We only managed to take just a few video clips, mostly at the beginning. We’ll try to take more video clips at the next session. I attached a few photos from today session. The qualities of photos are not that fantastic, it was really difficult to configure the camera’s setting to cater for only little day light.

Bukit Ambok is one of the hot spots for Three Pegion to enjoy freeriding. Expect the next video clips to contain clips from this location. Those who are interested in freeriding, taking freeride photos, producing freeride video or even searching for new tracks for freeriding or tracking are most welcome to join us. Our next locations will take the Pegion around Katok and Subok areas. Let’s roll.

Back to Pegion Track and back to square one

It has been months since we are back here at the Pegion track. Months of heavy rain has left the track with lots of damages to the jumps, drops, berms and the bridges. These did not stop the Three Pegion from riding the jump. We manage to fixed the big jumps and a few things and we gave it a go. I include some pictures at the big jump from today session.

The big jump still need a bit more tuning and a lot more works need to be done at the track to get it back to the great freeride track.

For those who are interested in designing, planning and building up the freeride track up could contact us. We build them together we ride them together.

Kenali Free Riding Di Bukit Ambok , Tutong

Last Saturday the Pegions manage to do some free riding at Tutong, this time we went to Bukit Ambok, a place with beautiful scenery with a great view of South China Sea and Brunei’s great tropical landscape.

There were two routes from the top of the hill that we explored. One of the routes goes towards Tutong town and the other leads to Bukit Basong. Both routes are mostly single track. Have a couple of sweat drops and the only major obstacles were the trees and small cement blocks. We recommend riders to use at least a helmet and knee and shin guard going down these two routes.

The route going toward Tutong town has dual track section. The slop going down is gentle, no uphill paddlings requires at this route, but bewares of dead end track and small cement blocks. This route is fun and well recommended for beginners.

The route going to Bukit Basong is fast. One section requires up hill paddling but should not be a problem if you got the momentum from the top. Step downhill at the end and beware of dead end track. This route is recommended for riders who has a bit of experience in free riding. It is recommended to check your breaks before going down here.

Both tracks are used by runners, so be considerate while blazing down the hill. No photos were taken during our first exploration but will be uploading the photos or videos of these two routes on the next ride. I included the Google map of the two routes. Those interested in free riding at these two routes can contact us.
