It's always a struggle to get James to travel that far for biking as he has so much nearby from Stirling. I'm pleased to see though, that on this occasion I managed to coax himself and Jack up to Aviemore.
I thought that Upper Burnside would be a good safe bet, as there are plenty of trails to hit and they ride pretty good in most conditions.

Your camera set up is probably the best out of any mtb channels I follow. 👌
Good to hear 👍
It's great that you've got a few new videos in reserve from earlier in the year - brightens the day up! It's been miserably wet weather where I am over the festive period, which kills off any outdoor activity 🙁
Yeah, I wanted to keep some on reserve as I knew I would not get as much riding done at this time of year. The sad reality of uk riding.
@@McTrailRider I'm glad you did keep these back, inspires me to get off the turbo and get some fresh air, thank you.
Great as ever Andy. A happy and prosperous New Year to you and yours!
Happy new year mate 👍
The Claymore looks an absolute weapon, expertly ridden I hssten to add.
Fab trails in my favourite part of the country. Many thanks for your brilliant videos over the years.
Lastly, happy Hogmanay for tomorrow - enjoy!
Thanks dude, the Claymore is so unbelievably capable, it really has helped my riding.
Happy new year when it comes.
My ridings been a bit shoite lately and this video is a reminder that much enjoyment is to be had on the trails, thanks MrMcT and I look forward to what 2023 brings 👌
Fun is always the goal👌
Always fun to see your unique terrain. It certainly becomes clear why you elect for a high pivot bike. Happy holidays
The high pivot certainly makes life easier for me 👍😊
Absolutely brilliant video Andrew. Those trails look mint. Happy New Year.
Happy new year mate 👍
Absolutely love the trails there. Can't wait to go back.
Me too!
Looks an interesting place Andrew. Hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year Mate. 👍
Thanks buddy, you too mate 👍
Looks amazing Andrew. Love High Burnside. Wicked trails. Not done them all yet but the ones I’ve done were mind blowing. Hope you loved the Claymore too. Love the green ❤
An incredible place to ride bikes for sure. Bike was running amazing all day, love it!
@@McTrailRider glad you had a good day and the bike is working well 👍
This video made me want to go ride!!! Nice job!
That’s the desired effect 👍
Wow, that looks wicked fun! My kind of trails.
Cool trails for sure.
Love Aviemore. Great to see some sunshine.
Shame the sunshine is from a while back 😢
@@McTrailRider we, like the sun, will be back.
Great video mate. Trails looked absolutely superb 👌,west Yorkshire is just slop now . Need to get upto aviemore next year.
All the best for 2023 👍
Tbf, these trails are probably all slop right now as well. I filmed this a wee while ago.
@@McTrailRider I guessed as much 👍
I’m jealous of your Scottish forests, their seems to be so many quality trails up there 👍 a trip beckons 😎
Unfortunately they’re not all as good as this one.
Stunning trails there.
Very much so
Yes bro that was sik lad. Nice ridin boys. HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO ANDREW N FAMILY X
Thanks dude, same to you and yours 👍
@@McTrailRiderThanks. I'm hopin get out 2moz wbu 😂 😂 😂
Love this channel Andrew which is why I've decided to continue my Patreon Support albeit a meagre amount for the next year at the very least.
Anyway what I want to say is how much I love a new Bike. It looks F Sweet. I got a new no expense spared Santa Cruz Bronson CC MX Fox Factory blah blah blah in the summer which I'm beyond happy with. The Claymore is a stunner in the Green by the way. How's the Ohlins? Its what I run on my 'Bike' Bikes - the Petrol powered ones!
Wishing you a very Happy New Year Andrew and continued success with the channel buddy.
Thanks for your continued support mate😊 Any help at all is appreciated, as it all adds up.
Glad you like the bike, I know I do. Now that I’ve gotten used to the way the Ohlins works, I really do rate them 👌
I’ve always known how good Ohlins is, from following various motorsports over the years.
Watching these prime conditions with the Scottish winter in full swing outside is absolute torment hahaha! Miss these trails already.
Unfortunately I’m going through the same tournament as you right now. 😔 spring was just round the corner though.
jolie parcours et encore une belle vidéo
Merci pour les aimables paroles
Awe that trail looks amazing .... one day i hope i'll get away up the road and ride this
It’s a destination worthy of your time 👍
Great stuff Buddy 😜 enjoyed the video 👌🚴
Much appreciated Taffy.
@@McTrailRider have a happy new year and a great mountain biking year 🚴😜👌👌
Those trails look 👌Awesome video 👊
Thanks dude
They look fantastic, I love technical trails, I live on the borders of west & North Yorkshire, we have a lot of tech tracks, I've not ridden in the Aviemore & ballater area ! are there great trails over and in around Braemar? such a beautiful area !!! Love your content great as usual !!
Thanks Andrew, there aren’t any trails like this in the Braemar area that I’m aware of, but there are plenty of good mountain rides there.
Sick tracks! 🔥
They’re pretty sweet 👍
Great vid lad
Cheers dude
great video brother
Thanks
Brilliant, love watching your videos. The camera is so smooth and great quality 👌. I don't to cause any hassle, as I'm sure the editing takes long enough..... But any chance of displaying a quick map of the area, routes that you're doing on each video? 🙏 Especially Aviemore there's no signage or online maps etc. Heard you talking about Trailforks or is there a better app? Guessing you've got a collection of videos as I was cycling in the snow only a few weeks ago, freezing 🤣
Thanks for the kind words Scott.
I’m not keen on overlaying maps on the screen personally. However, you can find the Strava links in the description that you can get a gpx file from. Failing that, Trailforks is a fantastic way to find and navigate trails.
@@McTrailRider no problem, sorry nothing that technical though. Just in theory a map of Scotland zooming into the area or fixed, highlighting an OS map route 🤔 don't worry about it, probably be a bit tacky looking 😂. You're train set 👍🚂...... I'll stop being lazy, do some research and get adventuring (I just hate stopping and getting the phone out unless it's for pictures 😊)
Was this recorded the other day? literally the driest I've ever saw it 😂
Awesome video btw making it look easy 😅
It was recorded a couple of months ago, I long for these conditions again.
It's a great spot some fun stuff there, I rode round the drop James bossed 10/10 for commitment, had a DM on IG from you this morning,I ignored it as I assumed it was the scammer.
Please ignore anything you see on my Instagram, it’s definitely not me.
Have a great 2023 Jamie 🤙 how are you getting on with the new hope brakes? Thank you
Cheers Kevin, the brakes are fantastic, best I’ve tried tbh.
My names Andrew by the way👍
Apologies Andrew, imagine being mixed up with a street pigeon 🦅😂
Bah, only just got back from staying in Rothiemurchus over Christmas, I did Lairig Ghru again and wanted to go over to High Burnside, this would’ve come in very handy. It’ll have to wait until April I guess. Do you know of anything over towards Feshiebridge?
Can’t go too far wrong with what you did anyway. There are some fairly good and natural trails over at Feshiebridge. They are all on Trailforks👍
Its a pretty tricky place to ride, im only about 45mins away and its a lot more gravity kinda riding in my area so riding high burnside is a totally different experience
It’s definitely a fairly unique place to ride, kind of requires different focus and different technique, as carrying momentum is quite important. Gravity definitely makes things a bit easier up to a certain point.
Great riding, I am deciding between this bike and Transition Spire. Do you feel that this bikes rear wheel loses a bit too much traction due to firming up when you are doing sustain breaking ? Are there any specific negatives i need to be aware for this bike ?
The brake jack is more present in this design than some others, but I’ve never felt like I’ve lost traction because of it.
For me, I honestly forget that is a high pivot when I’m riding it. It just feels like a really good , capable bike.
To be fair though, the Spire is meant to be a very good bike and I don’t think you’d go far wrong if you choose one.
The Deviate is a bike I’d take more pride in owning, and it’s design and ride characteristics I believe are more note worthy.
@@McTrailRider thank you so much for your detailed comment and great video!
Just done some of those trails in the snow. Had to avoid the real steep ones as just way too slippy.
that orange trail is killer :D
Definitely a bit spicier in the snow 😬
Are you using a chest cam in this vid?
Chest moment for the climbs and chin mount for the descents.
Hi how can I find the trails in Pitlochry
Trailforks, pretty much always the answer 👍
Ohlins or fox?
Both are great, but I’m swaying more towards Ohlins now.
Andrew is your insta still corrupt ?
It is unfortunately
Yeah I got a request to like something !! Can they not remove them..
@@donski8687 nightmare! Instagram have done nothing so far, as far as I’m aware.
I’ve reported it officially and I know countless people that follow have reported it as well.
Sounds like I’ll need to make another video to let people know that I’m still not in control of my page.
Did you regain control of your Instagram account? Just been messaged by it that's all
I haven’t, please don’t respond.
Your Instagram has been hacked again.
Didn’t get un-hacked unfortunately.
@@McTrailRider I see, unfortunate. I trolled them a bit anyways.
Upper Burnside looks ace Andy, plenty rock features, done nearby Badaguish was fun also need to explore more. Did you manage to get your Instagram account back? Got message from you but was of weary responding. Glad you got decent weather and thanks for sharing 😁
Badaguish is loads of fun as well for sure.
Not got my Instagram back yet, please don’t engage with the page.
