UCI Fort William World Championship Downhill POV rider preview 2023 - Nevis Range DH World Cup track 

It's been a lot of hard work but we've done good. And those lines through the forest are well worth all the headscratching and discussion. Nice ride Jamesy.

I've gotta say, never seen the track looking so good. Kudos to all the crew for their hard work, it looks Semenuk Movie edit good. just wow, what a job!

Wow some huge major changes. Well done to everyone involved. Excellent work.

Amazing course - well done to all who planned and worked on it.

Looks like the top of Mega Avalanche! You're super ready for this!!!! 🤩

What a run fella, looks great!

Looks a bit tame this year like.. ❤

Literally never seen the track so smooth. Howie and Ronan have put in a hell of a shift. As have you and your boys. Look forward to catching up properly tomorrow through Saturday

Amazing!

Nice video and nice framing. (I have a long way to go to make videos like that.) I just wonder how many times I would have died coming down with my ebike from there..🤣

This is a mellow track😂

The Fort Willy Green Way

Why doesn’t he move his feet? Left foot forward throughout the run.

Too warm for elbow pads or chest protector?

So another cross country track

Tape in the middle of the track shutting down line combos. Wtf UCI 🤦‍♂️ Props to the builders for all the work though! Everyone should relax. This track will work well once riders are on it.

With a half shell helmet not too smart

What kind of message are you actually giving to the youngest posting a vid with a guy with not a fullface helmet and this bike?😂😂i have no words honestly..

Is it me or are the downhill tracks being tamed!!! Don't think pro riders will need a DH bike after watching you go down on trail/enduro bike!! Brendan fairclough did make a comment a while ago saying the DH tracks are being made easier than they were years ago! Great work and effort gone into it but the gnarly and rutted parts are missing!

that has become very smooth,, not sure it was the right thing to do to that track, see how the riders get on with it i suppose

Yeah seems a good way to ruin a prick of a track, what a shame, looks more manufactured than before, really disappointed wanted to see fort William , not bike park fort William, and even more disappointed it’s not the 5 mins it should be , gutted That’s not the track we all loved looks totally different , to be honest if you showed this without telling me it’s fort William I wouldn’t have known

Amazing effort and the track looks wseet as but id question if you can get down it on a trail bike with an open face is ithardcore enough 🤷 still cant wait to see the racing and it looks so good 👊🤙

Perfect camera angle, great image quality, and most importantly nice riding!! Thanks for sharing video James 🙌

You took on a very difficult task in being responsible for updating the Fort William DH. Looks to me as if you have done an amazing job in retaining some of the classic Fort Bill, but also updating the other area's. Well done Jamesy Boy, I hope you get the credit you deserve.

Where is the Uphill? You need that for a XC Course!

Not to sure about this update. If someone can ride the track on a trail bike with open face. Not sure if that qualifies for a Downhill World Champs Course 🤦‍♂️

OK doubt Greg Minnaar will win here the eighth time, you guys have taken the old girl and given her a manicure - Where is the rugged, brutal Fort William we all know and love. And I thought Scotsman were always Real Men!

That dry sunnier weather was green screen perfection

Track looks mint, good content James thanks for the upload!

Good morning James. Nice work! ⛏️💪🙌

Nearly 1 k subs; push guys, James deserves it.

I've never seen that track look so good! Top job! I really do hope the investment keeps coming into the track! Do you have the trail builder job up there now James? I hope so!

Wow so many smoooth bits up top now!

Never seen the track so smooth indeed but it still is one of the most demanding DH tracks of the world... And really on my bucket list!

i should get an electric enduro.....

I think the track looks really cool to ride but it’s not a proper worldcup tack. It’s not steep enough, to smooth and only the woods have line choice, single track is for enduro but not for downhill.

Fort William is rough and insane just like it has been for years. Why make it so smooth.

Great bike , rides smooth ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L I added a bigger spring loaded seat to it . Takes a bit of adjusting cables to get brakes and shifting to perfect . I've owned quite a few bikes in the past that were absolutely uncomfortable to ride and they always ended up as garage wall decor . I'm not seeing that with this one. It's pretty light I've only ridden it a few miles but I like it . As for the pedals falling off in the other reviews , the pedal arms are aluminum along with the pedal studs look to be also . I would not overtighten them. I can see it would be very easy to overtighten them and strip the threads right off . All in all I think it's pretty good quality besides the aluminum pedal thing .

Need a wind sock dude - but nice riding, considering its a trail bike

Great video and great riding as always James👏👌👍

So this is one of those ride point to prove ebike riders. DH with single crown open face helmet and no body armour yep gotcha why not go hardtail 😂

Freakin you styled it!

Awesome, let’s hope the weather plays ball 🤞

That was fricking epic.

Maybe a track Jackson cant win on?

Looks unreal!!! Cannot wait to get the Dh bike up there for myself 🤤

Nicely done on an enduro set up!!!

Nicely done James 👏😃

wow, what an awesome track!

Thanks! Nice work

Cant wait to be there on Saturday for the Final!

Is this filmed with the current Gopro?

Hard to imagine anyone taking that first optional low line with how bad the exit corner appears to be. Love the wide taping but if it doesn’t provide an actual viable option, what’s the point?

First and last time an ebike goes down there 😂
