RIDING THE STEEPEST TRAILS AT THE GOLFIE!!! (I PUSHED DOWN PARTS!!!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- What a wild but fun day!!! Tommy C Hype and few of his mates came to the valley and got in touch so I could show them around some of the less ridden trails at the Golfie. These happen to be some of my favourite trails, but are crazy challenging and its nice to feel uncomfortable at times especially riding on a 120mm cross country bike. Things can get a bit sketchy and I decided to pull the plug on riding down parts of "Eliminator" due to it not being worth the risk with my racing season starting soon etc. Never feel ashamed of pushing a section you do not feel comfy on. There is plenty of time to go back and give it a go again when you feel up to it. Be sure to give the video a like and comment below if you have ever rode these trails before. Please make sure you are subscribed if you have not already. Cheers

Mateeee! This video is legit! Only half way through and it’s bangers 🔥🤘😂
Cheers lad! Look forward to ya inners side video 🤟🏽
SICCCCKKKKKKK riding! I rode Avalanche, but need to find this crazy Eliminator trail!
Woahh that is pretty steep Lewis, I ridden at the mast Inverness and I thought that was steep bro, good on you man 🤟🏻🏴🚵🏻♂️
Nice, I heard it’s alright up there! Thanks 👌🏽
@@LewisBuchanan it's got some class stuff up there. Always building new stuff as well.
Mate I did snake Johnson last week and this made me feel loads better 😂😂😂 knar or what. 🤣
We rode nyny and 3g-avalanche just before you guys then did Bigbaw. We were discussing eliminator and how conditions would be on it so skipped for another day. Finished on newly worked Communities. Trails were running the best I've seen in a long time. Vid was great, good to see your pov on the trails.
Thanks Colin. Glad you guys got in some awesome trails! I agree, trails are all running sweet!
Hey lewis, raced your valley for many years...duking it out with your mate Dick Hamilton, in the old farts category. Watching your posts reminds me why I'm always happy to make the 7.5hr trog up from the Surrey Hills. NY NY one of my faves. good luck with with the new set up for 2020... keep up the great edits
That is awesome man! Thanks for ya comment. Appreciate it a lot
Great video Lewis. Amazing what you are doing on that short travel 29er. I'm loving NY NY and Waterworld at the moment.
Thanks!!! Soon there will be no short travel 🤟🏽 yes I’m keen to ride waterworld soon too
Super late to this party but thank you for uploading an honest vid! No shame in walking, especially like you said - before a big season back then. Big up for the honest content. Cut to this year and the bonkers trails you’ve been smashing out in BC 2 years on, it’s mad! 🙌🏻⛰🚲
Thanks so much!
Awesome vid! Cant wait to get back up there hopefully get down some of them a bit quicker and cleaner this time!
Thanks dude! Glad you had a good time bro
Eliminator looks mental Mate! Great riding from you all. Scotland is on my to do list for this year.
Yeah it's fun. Awesome that is a must!
Another great video Lewis that last section looked crazy . Never rode there have to give it a go this year but maybe out of my skill range 👍
Thanks alistair! Yeah you should it’s good fun. Mix of trails up there!
Drone footage would have been superb for the walk of "no shame", great content.
Haha thanks man
Looks mint, shame I couldn't make it up with the boys!
Was fun! Next time dude 👌🏽
Your editing has become amazing! Nearly as good as your riding !!
Ah man thanks a bunch 🤟🏽
Love NY NY but some of the stuff you ride is just nuts! Love watching the vids though.
Thanks 🤟🏽🙏🏼
Great video lew. I think you need to get tommy c to do our local trails..... Your speed in forest is insane!! Tommy c ain't no slouch either.
Thanks man! Where are your local trails?
@@LewisBuchanan peak district, dovestones and trigg in Stalybridge. Sure TC could show you!
Cool man, one for the future 🤟🏽
Great edit 👊🏴
Cheers Jamie dude!
Really enjoyed this 🤩
Watched toms video yesterday, just as sick lad 👌
Hell yeah! Good bunch them lads! Thanks richy
Love your channels keep posting great vids 👍😁
Thanks dude
I got hyped in the first 15 sec🔥
Hell ya dude!
Amazing video and a few more trails at the Golfie I may never attempt.😂 For context I struggled on No Social a couple of weeks ago and pushed down a lot. But I’ll be back.
Thanks man! Yeah good luck next time! Get it 🤙🏽
NY NY is probably my favourite at the moment 🤘
Have you tried riding Trevor yet , now that scared me silly , really steep as well.
Yeah it’s fun huh. Yeah I rode it but found it pretty crap tbh. Just dead janky and weird 🤷🏼♂️ not my cuppa tea haha
🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏽
Yew🔥🔥 love that trail
Yewwww
tried to ride NY NY last time i was up couldent quiet find it, will have to give it a bash
Yeah man 👌🏽
How easy are these trails to find? What’s the name of the really steep one?
Serious example of the GoPro effect😅😂
you should come try the naughty northumbrian, alot of stages real similar to this, great event, stage 5 is real similar to avalanche
Maybe some day man 🤟🏽
Video was well worth the wait bro! Sick slick and narly all in one vlog 🙌 on the steep and downhill stuff do you just feather the back brake and lay off the front brake before the corners or what? Am trying to get quicker into corners and out them or understand the technique better. awesome fun and vids as always dude. 👍
Thanks dude! Yeah mostly something like that. It’s difficult to explain man! Section parts of trails and work on that technique maybe?
@@LewisBuchanan Yeah hard to explain dude I get that. But yeah will try section some stuff this sat at cademuir..thanks for the reply much appreciated as always dude 🤙
No worries! Caidmuir is good place to do it
I'm amazed by how stable your camera looks in the dark. Are you using the hero 7 or 8? Nice one dude 👌
Yeah it works out ok the dark surprisingly huh. It’s a hero 8. 1080p 60fps superview and Mounted on my chin piece! Thanks!
Would not want any brake fade going down those trails!
Haha deffo not
11:00 why are you wearing the goggle frame with no lense?
Cause the lens was steaming up badly and I could not see out of them at all
24:54 whys the xmas tree still up dude 😜😜
What front and rear tyre do you run? And what pressures, i would assume you run tubeless aswell.
Thanks
These are different tyres but I usually run maxxis minion dhf front and maxxis assegai rear. 23 psi front & 27psi rear
@@LewisBuchanan i have a dhf 2.3 on the front at the minute, what benefits do you find running the assegi on the rear?
I plan to go wider on the front maybe 2.5 and then 2.35 something on the rear
It’s just wider and more tred. More stable. I like it a lot
@@LewisBuchanan thanks man appreciate it👍
How do you get to the eliminator trail?
Hard to explain but it’s near liver damage at the golfie. It’s not on Trailforks
Awesome to watch, GoPro just dosnt show how steep that is, will have to give it ago in the future.
Yeah it’s crazy steep. Thanks though dude
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yo jed 🤟🏽
Lewis Buchanan yo bro!! have you got any tips for my UA-cam bro? I have 607subs and am kinda struggling for video ideas, could you help me out please?? 🤟🏼
Hey man, just try to what you enjoy. I do group rides with my friends and we section parts of trails and have a good laugh. You’ll come up with ideas along the way I’m sure
Lewis Buchanan thanks man! good luck for your UA-cam career 👊🏻
Haha not much of a career dude. Just have fun riding and uploading my good times! Cheers though
Sick video! 😂😂 looked like such a laugh! 👏 Notice you keep saying "this wee bike" 😂 what travel are you working with anyways?
Thanks dude. Haha yeah I just sometimes can’t believe how well I’m riding on a short travel bike it’s 120mm and with 160mm rotors. Tough to slow down haha.
@@LewisBuchanan jeees! Thought it mighta been a little bigger than that haha! Fair play to you pinning it on that! Haha can only help you in training for a BIG bike! Haha
Very true haha! It’s good training
yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
