Second Mega Proud Post of the week...what a week (and what a week we have had) 🙏* (sorry, not sorry 😂)

@mtb_ffi we're SO proud of you 🥹🩷

Mega proud of you being selected to compete in the Hard Mtb League in Idaho at just 14 years old 🤯

You are INCREDIBLE, and we can not wait to watch you ride in America 🩷

What an opportunity, your first international competition, and you are taking it all in your stride, even with last minute mechanicals and packing yesterday too 🫶🏾

You really are an AWESOME human. Behind the scenes you've also been revising for your English and Maths GCSE this week, and working your socks off cutting lawns and cleaning to earn money to go. Not going was never an option to you 🫶🏾

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated to Ffi's Go Fund Me page, to the @hardmtbleague for Ffi's flight scholarship, to @lib_mtb for setting the page up, to Ffi's sponsors, to Johnny's Mum and Dad, and to @mtb_morg for supporting Ffi every step of the way 🫶🏾 and also to @gazzy_adventures and last but no means least to @ian_picky ❤️ Thank you everyone 🫶🏾 We've never been apart for this long since we got married nearly 19 years ago 😱 Miss you already boys and thanks for our card and plane treats ❤️

We're en route to the adventure of a lifetime, just over 3,000 miles to go until Seattle then our final flight (3rd of the day) to Idaho 🫶🏾

We love you endlessly Ffi, amazed by what you do on a bike and you have the most gorgeous soul too 🩷

Wow! We're going to the US of A 🤯

You'll arrive as a 14 year old and leave as a 15 year old....your birthday out there too 🎂

*Mega Proud Post* (sorry, not sorry 😂)

@mtb_morg I remember when you used to watch Vanta jam clips on YouTube a few years ago and dream of riding there 🥹

Well, today is THE day 🥹❤️

You are INCREDIBLE both on and off the bike, and we cannot wait to watch you hit the biggest jumps of your life ❤️....we walked up to Vanta yesterday, and my first words were 'Wow! Just wow!' Seriously, WOW! You took it all in your stride 🥹

We love you endlessly, and getting an invite to ride here is both testament to your riding and you as a person.

Eeeekkk!! We're so excited and proud to watch you hit Vanta @bikepark_wales today ❤️

RIP Delta 💔 The most chilled and loveable little guy 😢

Will never forget how much Morg wanted a Bearded Dragon when he was only 8 (had never even considered a Bearded Dragon as a pet before this).

Morg saved up sooo hard for his enclosure, and all the equipment he needed, he read books about Bearded Dragons, and knew everything there was to know about them 🙏 When Delta finally came home from the pet shop, on Boxing Day, nearly 9 years ago, Morg had so much love for him ❤️

Delta was so friendly and such a cool little dude, and even though he was Morg's pet, we will all miss him lots 😭

Thank you @ian_picky for always feeding him the live stuff (crickets and locusts😱) and thank you @mtb_ffi for caring for Delta too 💕

Love you @mtb_morg ❤️

I HAVE NO WORDS.... me and my sis @mtb_ffi just got a shared 7 pages in @mbukmagazine we/I don't know what to say 🤯

First of all there is no other person I would want to share 7 pages of the magazine 🤯 with other than my little sis,shredder of all bikes and 🐐 @mtb_ffi so glad I have a cool sis 🤜🤝

I also want to say a huge thank you to @mbukmagazine @mbuk_jcw @laurence_ce @peterkneen it would not have happened without all of you guys 🫶 this is a dream come true for us both thank you so so so much guys I really appreciate this so so much ❤️ Thank you again 🤜 you should all go give them a follow 🤜🤛

Again thanks everyone who voted for me to be Newcomer of the Year in @mbukmagazine still absolutely stoked 😁

Also I'm not sure if insta has cropped these photos so you may not be able to read or see all the pictures so make sure you go grab yourself an @mbukmagazine or subscribe to them 🤜

Or give me a dm and I'll send you the pics but the @mbukmagazine is cooler so I suggest you get that 🫡
