How Not To Do A Drop! Mtb Pitlochry
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- After visiting Pitlochry to ride Ben Cathro's test track, with Ben Cathro, I have been itching to get back and ride it again. I also wanted to see what other trails were available on the hill too.
Well this video is of just that.

That was INSANE. 👍
Cheers
That flow trail at the end was like the speeder bike scene from Return of the Jedi. Awesomeness!
That trail was something special 👌
Nice video 👍🏻makes me want to go before the snow
I don’t think the snow will be too much of an issue at this level.
Mega riding up there. Can’t wait to get back up.
Brilliant video 🤜
Always great to get back to places like this one.
Awe man, those trails look savage! Great stuff as always Andrew.
The first trail had some awkward sections but the rest are all relatively straight forward thankfully. Ben Cathro’s track has alternative lines around anything that’s tougher 👍
looks like some sweet trails up there Andrew, that last one with the flow through the trees, very nice! Skills on the riding (and saves!) today, great video mate
Keen to get back to that last one again, but with more day light.
Omg. Those trails look insanely good!
They are very good 👌
Awesome trails!
They sure are
They sure are
Class riding through the fast sections!
Thanks dude, the speed came across well in the footage thankfully.
Hi, Glad you liked the trails, it took me a long time to build them (the newer bottom section of totem and the last trail you rode, the new one next to Conans). I don't mean to be difficult, and I do enjoy your videos, however , it takes a really long time to keep maintaining the trails when they get hammered because people make videos and strava/trailforks segments showing everyone exactly where the tracks are. This results in the tracks taking more traffic than they can naturally handle (just look at Cathros track, which I also helped build, its now hammered). So my suggestion is that maybe when you go and ride at other peoples trails, at places where people aren't paid to maintain the trails, it would be courteous to the trail builders to not show everyone exactly where they are. Sorry for the moan, I dont mean to be a bore and I know trails get found, its part of the game, but now 10k extra people know where my trails are and i cant keep up with that level of maintenance.
First of all, thank you for being nice about It and not just simply having a go at me 👍
I can’t and won’t argue against you on any of the points that you’ve made, as I completely understand.
I try not to share too much info on the trails when they are off a sensitive nature.
I unfortunately forgot on this occasion.
I have now removed my Trailforks and Strava info from the description to suit.
It’s a difficult situation for me, as loads of people come to the channel to discover places to ride, and when I refuse to give the locations etc to them, they can get unreasonably angry at me 🤷🏼♂️
Anyway, thanks for the work you do and well done for being good at it too 🤘
Great trails pal some skeckie moments but you need at least one on a outing anyway so much flow it was amazing you carry speed so well well done great footage loving the slow Mo 😁👍
Always got to have done sketchy moments to keep you honest 👍
Thanks...good skillz
Thanks Steve
Another great Vid MrMcT, good to see you all having a laugh and the wee wobbles you had are all adding to the content 😉
Glad you enjoyed the crack 👍
Cracking trails, that looked like a horrible moment over that rock drop haha, glad you kept it together, great video 👍
That one really caught me off guard, a little bit scary 😜
Another great video nice riding by you all
Thanks Nathan 👍
Looks fantastic, brilliant video
Thanks Joe
I avoided that drop when I was there. Blind run and just looked dodge. Done so much bigger but that put a ghost up me. Nice to witness what I avoided.
The drop is s actually quite straight forward, I just hit it too fast and ended up launching off a bump before it 🤦🏼♂️
Looks brilliant up there will need to get up there and try out some of those tracks 🏴🔥🤟🏻
The whole area is littered with amazing trails 👌
Looks like you guys had one heck of a day, once again the photographic clarity of your GP10 is excellent, even in low light. I am very impressed, almost as good as your riding apart from over cooking your speed into that wee jump.
Great day all in 👌 This was all actually sit in the dji action 2, it done very well, but not as good as the hero 10 imo.
Place looks unreal, that last flow trail looked different gravy 🤙🏼
The last trail is the one that’s got me wanting to go back already.
@@McTrailRider one of the reason I’m really wanting to go now, only ever seen videos from carthros track but good to see some others, just hope I can find that last one you down
@@barryextancemtb3932 my Strava and Trailforks info is in the description 👍
@@McTrailRider brilliant, thanks for that 👌🏻💙
Watch the knuckles boys 🤣
Nice save on the drop 🙈👌
Glad you see it as a save. The reality is that it was very much a fail on the drop🤦🏼♂️😬
Ross did have to finish on a climb and Lewis was not amused lol Lewis did do the rock roll after. Will need to do that last trail the next time I'm up.
Haha, I hate finishing on a climb. I’d highly recommend that last trail, very good 👌
@@McTrailRider Going to park where you three did. Makes more sense
Wow excellent again as always. That last trail was amazing , could tell everyone was loving , so unexpected, Do those 800mm handle bars come with feeler gauges or cats whiskers haha some of those turns were pretty tight for sure,, , not for the faint hearted that’s for sure. , looking forward to some more seagull laughs later in the vids to come. . PMD - BeatsP
The last trail was the highlight for me👌 I think James plucked some whiskers off his cat before he left the house 😜
Damn that looked almost impossibly tight in a lot of sections.
Sure was
i actually said wow when you reached the top... what a view.., just wondered tho, is there anything you miss from the gearbox bike?
I do miss the extra suspension performance that the gearbox bike had because of the weight that was taken off the rear wheel. Also not having to even think about hitting a rear mech.
Great vid as usual mate. What was the name of the last, flow trail you rode? Looked like a nice way to finish off.
Found it! Conans Craigower DH, cheers dude
That’s the one 👍
Think you need to take out a few shares in Fox after that one! Joking aside, I need to get over to Pitlochry
Those forks had my back for sure 😬 Pitlochry is a great wee place to ride bikes 👍
wow those trails look amazing! Have you tackled snowdon before? I can highly recommend it if you havent
It’s a place very much on my radar 👍
Thinking about coming up Scotland this year..what area is this please ..I'm from south wales last trail very much what I ride and enjoy
Check out my Strava and Trailforks links in the description for more info on the trails and the area.
That last trail looks insane fun! Was that Pheonix?
It wasn’t, it was Conan’s Craigower dh.
I done the exact same thing as peirce at the exact same bit then minutes later cathro caught me throwing my bike down a steep bit I shat it to ride looking like a bog monster from scooby doo 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 is a bad bit.
Great video again, what GoPro & recording settings do you use?
This was all shot on a dji action 2
This was all shot on a dji action 2
what's that last trail u rode called? also i would recommend you try hitting riviera next time ur in the area.
Conan’s Craigower dh is the last trail. I will try and get all the rest next time👍
That last trail looked ace, what was the name of it?
It’s called Conan’s Craigower dh
@@McTrailRider thanks
A Lott of poo came out on that drop
Very much so 😂
Very similar to the mast at inverness
