      Got to ride Tarland last week, it’s awesome, and with glen livet in the area it’s definitely looking good up there now for natural and trail centre riding. I did heartbreak ridge, glen clova/ loch muick ride after seeing you do it, even went in the river on that slide. Then two days at livet and a day a Tarland. Looking forward to getting back later in the year. Hoping the weather was as good as last week.

    At last, we’ve got a trail centre! Aberdeenshire has been crying out for this for years! Thanks for sharing Jamie, although the selfish part of me wants to keep it secret.
    Me and a mate went up yesterday and we had a go on all the trails. SO well built, SO well designed, SO much fun. We’re lucky to have some amazing natural trails in Aberdeenshire but this opens up a whole new world for us. Huge thanks to Chris and all at CRC, to all the funders, to the MacRobert Trust and to TDG.
    I reckon my annual parking pass will be the best investment I’ve made in years!

    Being a Tarland loon makes me want to go and ride this ASAP. I don't need an excuse to return there from the Central belt to visit my best mate who farms there and my Mum & Sister are in Banchory so I have a base to travel from. Looks like that EMTB on the wish list is a priority now as my weary legs are not what they used to be. When we were kids growing up in Tarland it was racing bikes because that was all we had but my passion was cross country so I had to buy a Kawasaki Trail Bike but in adult life I saw the light and went back to MTB's. Congrats to everyone who was involved in this and putting Tarland on the map. Mind you it will always have special memories for myself and my family.

    • @streetpigeonmtb
      @streetpigeonmtb  Рік тому +1

      I'd have to disagree with you. I think it's nice to have some variety to riding in Scotland. I'm in no way against natural style trails, you'll be able to see that from the other videos on the channel. However, places like this offer something different and will be a great place for families and beginner riders to come to. This will be good for their own health, but will also encourage an appreciation of the land. Also, I'd argue that the landscape isn't particularly natural anyway. Most of the land in Scotland was stripped of forests and biodiversity during the clearances. What remains was agricultural land and managed forests. I get what you are saying, but personally I think the benefits far surpass any negatives 👍

    • @streetpigeonmtb
      @streetpigeonmtb  Рік тому

      Hey mate. I think the issue is that Scotland already had miles and miles of natural singletrack. If you watch my vids you will see 90% if my riding is on singletrack. So do I want trail centres that offer a 'bike park' experience? Hell yes!
      IMO we should be encouraging people to cycle. It is good for their health, tourism, the local economy and so much more. If we are going to do this we need accessible and fun trails that everyone can use.
      So importantly, this trail centre doesn't reduce the abundant natural trail numbers in Scotland. It actually ensures Scotlnad has an even more varied offering.

      Yeah. I'd say there is probably less demand for that given the amount of natural trails available.
