    Absolutely amazing video! Loved watching this... I live locally and have only ridden the lower trails at Fort William. I watched the world cup this year and watching the pros do it, at their speed... Not a chance I throught to myself but I have just booked my ticket to try it out this weekend (slowly...) because of your video! Great work, love love love it.

    Well done Kara! Mint video! I’m taking my Daughter up to Fort William in a couple of weeks and told her I wouldn’t be riding as it would be to difficult but she’s directed me to your Channel (this video in particular) in the hopes of persuading me to give it a go. I reckon I might just have to have a crack at it 😁

    Great job getting down that track. I was lucky enough to ride that track last month although the weather was not great when I went. I also have a YT channel and also get people criticizing my riding and feel the need to offer coaching advice, as if I don't already know my weaknesses. Keep up the good work and don't let the comments of a few teenage boys put you off.😀

    Great to see you getting out and enjoying your ride. Well done for not being pushed into something you don't feel comfortable doing, potentially hurting yourself badly. I would be making the same calls as you. I enjoy just getting out there and riding, not putting my family at harm with risks I shouldn't take if I am not skilled to do it. Have fun!

    Well done Kara - certainly made it look more user friendly for us in our rookie years, but like Tom you used the wrong kit to hit a DH trail. Using an enduro or a DH bike is going to make a lot of that easier (he says desperately now wanting to do this track) and would love another return of you both smashing this one out.
    More trails less jumping for likes - these videos I think personally are better showing your riding 👍🏻

    Although I never learned many skills mountain-biking back in the day, I could actually ride rough lines like this quite fast. It really comes down to: "speed is your friend", the faster you go, the easier it is.

    I’d be interested in a video of you going back there on a DH bike and for you to show us if the extra travel makes difference to your confidence to hit some of the sections. I rode there on a trail bike (only from the road drop down as the gondola was closed). Bailed on the river gap too, even though my brain was nagging at me to try it!

    The hardest World Cup Downhill track? Not sure who told you that, but it's probably the easiest. Fort Bill is a piece of cake compared to tracks like Val di Sole.

    Kara is definitely on good terms with God and Jesus from the sounds of it. She's constantly calling out to them and she gets down pretty safely each time. Kara, you had some pretty solid line choices there. You are definitely approaching trails with a confidence to pick out good lines. "Look ahead, look ahead, I don't like what I'm seeing!" is now one of your best unscripted lines. Keep that one for sure. Great riding. Give yourself some practice and that river jump will come to you easily.

    Unfortunately.... We just can't see 'steepness'. The curse of the action video, no accurate perspective. The only people who know how steep a trail is are the riders that have been there. ♥️😁

    • @antonywilliams5703
