Was after a quick and easy place to get to, as I hadn't made any plans, and decided on Aberfoyle.
Despite this place being as good as it is, and it only being an hour and a quarter away, I hadn't ridden here in about two years! That will be changing now, it's too good not to visit regularly.

Everyone needs a friend like Wes 🤣

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Absolutely 👍

@streetpigeonmtb 3 года назад

😄😄😄 Wes is a legend. Just the spirit you need for Aberfoyle! Some place for sure.

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

He’s some character is Wez😜

Freakin' love everything about this. Slippery Slopes and fun attitudes, looks like a great time!

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Nice one 👍

@tonyparker5045 3 года назад

I like it when you do videos like these. Boogie line got to be my favourite trail in Scotland. Absolute love it. Few people I know want to ride there so I've recommended they watch this video gives them a great idea on how legit these trails are.

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Good to hear Tony 👍 Hope they don’t get put off 😜

@andybikeboatclimb 3 года назад

Aberfoyle - a humbling place to ride. Love it.

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Humbling is a very good word to describe Aberfoyle 👍

@paghal11 3 года назад

2:40 "If you can ride this place fast and well...." just as Wes takes a glorious header into the undergrowth. I laughed so hard I have a small hernia.

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Perfect timing 😂

@streetpigeonmtb 3 года назад

Also. You guys nailed that's shute! I've been there and it's insane!!!

@acameron87 3 года назад

I've tried it 3 times and not successfully made it down yet... It's mental steep and long

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

That Shute is brutal! Can’t believe how flat it looked in the video 😢

@davemacgtir 3 года назад

Knew Wes was a nutter the second i saw him in a plain white t-shirt, in Aberfoyle, in November...did not disappoint...🤣 Great vid as always !! Keep up the good work 🤙

😂 not the best choice of clothes for the day

@np939427a 3 года назад

That's a wee gem of a track you found their.. I bet its fast track on a dry day..

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Faster but still dodgy in the dry.

@peterbeer4746 3 года назад

So lucky to have these trails local to you . sun and dry or wet and mud can still have a great ride

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Great place, come rain or shine 👍

@nickstorey8204 3 года назад

Wes is the happiest bloke on a bike ever. He's also a bit of a nutter (in a good way ) he should have his own channel.👍🤟

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Some character is Wez 👍

@niseach 3 года назад

The trails were just as wet riding there in the middle of August. We were over at Macclesfield Forest at the weekend and the terrain is very similar. Really steep slop, roots and ruts. You'd love it there - huge choice of lines. Booked in at Dyfi in two weeks. Thinking that must be on your list.

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

I’m sure there are a good few places like this all over the country 👍 Dyfi is definitely a place in I’m interested in. Probably would have ridden there by now if it wasn’t for Covid.

@Elena-yr8qn 3 года назад

Technical ride Andrew! Reminds me Oh Deer near Aboyne. Nice autumn scenery too 👍

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

I need to do more exploring up that way 👍

@Ridebike_Apsny 3 года назад

Very slippery trails, hung a couple of falls at the beginning and end, be careful 😀👍👍. In general, I finally waited for a new vidos, I definitely liked it. I reviewed almost all of your videos 👍👍👍

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Glad you enjoyed the video dude, even with the crashes.

@seanoneil277 3 года назад

This was tasty! Those steep goaty trails are the best, and seeing them in that damp dark forest with all the moss & other greenness was great. The orange gloves were a nice touch when the light got dark in the spooky sections. Great riding by you & Wes here.

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Thanks Sean, the colours were great on this one 👌

@mcyoon77 3 года назад

Looks steep on cam, multiply steepness in head by 3. Impressed by the low light abilities of the camera. You can see your head torch plainly but the surrounds still look good v

@teddysnaps4786 3 года назад

@McTrail Rider what are you doing that he isn't because it looks like you're in total control but someone is grabbing his back wheel. Is it just the POV, line or is there a technique you're using?

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Without trying to sound cocky, I’ve done quite a bit of riding on all kinds of terrain now and I’ve gotten fairly competent. That, and Wez was hitting everything blind for the first time.

I believe they are mtb trousers

@lukavsoundseeker1642 3 года назад

Christ that looked really difficult, slippy and steep! Watching Your friend riding in front of You, looked like he was gonna come off every couple of seconds. somehow He managed to save it most of it. He did really well! Great video fun to watch. Andrew a question for You. What resolution did shoot this video and usually shooting?

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Wez was certainly very entertaining to follow down these tough trails 😂 Shot in 4k as always.

@cb6866 3 года назад

Another great ride, thanks Andrew. Your torch threw odd shadows? Be safe bud. I'm in Massachusetts, and the Covid is spreading ....shit

Michelin Wild Enduro’s, great overall tyres. The rear probably has too shallow a tread for the deeper mud though.
