Mountain bike trails in Scotland at their best here. The fastest, gnarliest and steepest trails at Thornielee in Tweed Valley. Conditions were dusty, fast and insanely good!
This place has fast rough trails in the top section of the hill followed by steep (some proper vertical!) trails in the lower half.
It's easy to navigate as most trails start next to each other and are off the same hillside. It's a popular mountain biking spot which is a testament to how good it is!
Trails we rode:
High Definition
Low Definition
Gum Drops
Nemesis (some proper steep chutes! Reckon the steepest trail here)
Helter Skelter
Conditions on this ride were absolutely prime - dry and dusty, which we don't see too often in Scotland!
Bike: Saracen Ariel LT & Nukeproof Mega 275
Filmed on: Go Pro Hero 8 and 9 Black
Location: Thornielee Forest, Tweed Valley, Scotland

It’s a brilliant wee forest - one of my favourites in the valley!

Damn. Dual chin cam was insanely good. I defo though Tomas was gone on that chute! Scary!!!

@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB 3 года назад

Thanks! Hoping to use it more often now with the two go pros. Although double footage to work through! 😅 haha Tomas was fearing for his life on that chute 🤣

Another cracking video guys. Those trails looked STEEP! Well ridden. 👌🤙🤙🤙😁

@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB 3 года назад

Thanks! There are a lot of steep ones packed into the one hillside. We always forget how steep til we re halfway down the chute 😅 cheers 👊

Have you tried it in the dark - it's brilliant fun a bit daunting at 1st but usually have the whole place to yourself as well winter riding is best slipping and sliding!!

@crazyoldmaninthewoods 3 года назад

Great vid guys, yet another spot for me to check out if I ever get my act together and drive down there. Thanks for filming, Andy

@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB 3 года назад

@fillfreakin2245 3 года назад

You know it's steep when it looks steep on a gopro! Looks like tricky riding, specially with those deep ruts and tight switchbacks in the trees.

@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB 3 года назад

for once the camera does it some justice! Yeah a lot of gradient on that hillside! It does pack a punch this place

@trailsfromthedarkside6460 3 года назад

Looks well guid. Is it easy enough to find your way about? Looks like another one for the list this summer. Top vid as always guys. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤙

@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB 3 года назад

It’s a top place. Climbs are brutal but short which is good! Yep you should find it easy to navigate around. Almost all top trails start fro the same point and the lower ones all on the same short bit of fireroad. Definitely check it out 🤘 cheers!!

Really like the mixing of the different perspectives from the both of you. Completely different types of vids from others. Laura the additional token in your forks, why? I have the same forks and had to do the same. I didn't feel that they gave enough support at the top of the stroke.

@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB 3 года назад

thanks great to get feedback on that. Something new we're doing now we each have a go pro. Pretty much the same - I felt like I had to run these softer than previous forks but felt they were diving in places and recently had bottomed out on some harsh compressions. Assumed there was a token in already but nope! Has made a massive difference

@gordonhenderson1287 3 года назад

@@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB I agree with you both, I can't believe how dry it is (was) however, the rain over the last few days have made it a bit less dusty and tighter up the trails a wee bit.

@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB 3 года назад

Yeah I think the nice warm dusty days are over for now sadly. True though, I think the trails needed it!
