I really appreciate the exposure you give your country. I live in Ontario Canada so every video you upload is a treat. I would have no clue what that part of the world looks like if it wasn't for your channel. That's why I keep saying you should be working with tourism industry.
Thanks buddy, equally, I’ve seen places in Canada and the rest of the world that I wouldn’t have normally seen. RU-vid is actually a very good thing in that respect, makes the world feel that bit smaller👌
As impressive and amazing as it is to watch yourself and other popular MTB RU-vidrs ride the techy steep stuff it's great to see where the big flowy and fast trails are in the mountains on the big days out, thanks for sharing!
Our national motto should be ‘Scotland- Beautiful but Brutal’ thats some trail dude. We’re all big kids at heart, l wouldv’e defo climbed that rock too. Nice riding dude as always. 🤙🏴
@@McTrailRider Pentlands has some fun stuff albeit fairly tame. If you're thinking of doing a video then the best route for footage is probably the Five Peaks route from West Kip to Flotterstone (conveniently finishes at a pub)
another epic ride, so so so beautiful. Great loop, however 34 km and 1150 m of elevation is quite a lot, equals XC tours you do in my region in Germany. Fantastic,
Darn, I have already watched this a hit the like button! Enjoyed it more second time around though. Probably because it's a cold January evening in gkasgiw😉
That final stretch of singletrack through the Scots pines and heather is to die for, Did you know that this path was reinstated by the national trust Scotland after the previous Landowner Bulldozed a track to the summit in the eighties, for shooting parties, an amazing path considering this.
Yet another crackin video 👍 Braemar area is awesome 😊 One thing McTrail Rider - is that Giro Switchblade minus chinbar? You're wearing it a lot! I thought you had a MET Parachute MCR? - u no likey? 😉
Well spotted, yes is the Giro, I’m using the con price to hold the camera, hence it not being in shot. The Parachute was such a nice helmet, but I just couldn’t get used to the fit of it when the chin bar was off. My mate Wez bought it off me as it fits him better👍
You could ride most of it as a there and back trail, but not all of it. I’m tempted to do it on the Ebike, I think I could ride the whole thing on the Shuttle.
Loving your vids bud,up in Scotland in Oct to ride torridon.Watching your vids makes me wanna ride more Mtns in Scotland 🏴 Keep up the good work,how’s the pivot shuttle going?

Did this descent in the early noughties one witnter always said I'd return in summer but never did. Pity. The path doesn't look like it's suffered much from the weather in 15 odd years. The path was constructed after the NTS back-filled the bulldozed landy track as part of their re-wilding programme for the Mar Lodge Estate.
I heard that it used to be a Land Rover track after I done it. Impressive, as I wouldn’t have noticed if I hadn’t been told. Good to hear it’s holding up well too👍
@@McTrailRider The landy track takes a different route up the flank of the hill. With a dusting of snow you could see the back-filled track a bit higher up the hillside, if my memory serves me well.
2:16 I've sat underneath that boulder and my dad walked passed me whaching this and said hes ran most of those hills plus it's around about an hour from my house
I did this loop with my Bosch 625amp Moustache..I did ride as much as I could in 'Eco mode' til the climb when I used 'Tour mode' and from The Sneck it is indeed a fair pull up a very steep face onto the lower slopes of Beinn A Bhuird. Great video as always Mr McTrail rider 👌
So pleased you are in favour of FREEDOM! 👍🏻 Always crosses my mind when hearing a Scottish accent. I will be watching every video now! 🏴🏴🏴
Certainly not at all intuitive for English speakers like us. The bits I know mostly came from years of hill-walking. Walkhighlands website often has the pronunciation with their route guides - very useful.
Mwah ha.... Strip him n burn the union rag...... 😝 Ace video again chaps. Thanks.... Ps you need to STOP wearing other people's jerseys Andrew & make your own.... I'd say a saltire with McTrail Rider across the back/front. Time for some merch mate.....
