    Man, this vid has made my Saturday... awesome. It looked savage and Jess absolutely owned it, as did you all in all fairness... even if you did keep “nearly dying “ 😄 Always love it when we get a cheeky profile pic of the Bird too, massive bike envy here dude 😊

    • @streetpigeonmtb
      @streetpigeonmtb  4 года назад +1

      Defo mate. I'd heard they were tricky trails but I hadn't expected them to be so damned difficult. It's a weird place, the grip is so low, a bit like Ae but with Tweed Valley natural steepness chucked in. You'd love it!

  • @mtbfree4914
    @mtbfree4914 4 года назад +1

    • @streetpigeonmtb
      @streetpigeonmtb  4 года назад

      After my experience I would have to agree with you. Aberfoyle, the steeps and naturalness of the Tweed Valley combined with the anti-grip of Ae. It is unreal!

    Great video. These are my local trails so tick 2 of the CV19 rules but I'd struggle to justify the no gnar one!! It's actually pleasing to hear acknowledgement of just how techy the riding is. Other videos often downplay that element.

    • @streetpigeonmtb
      @streetpigeonmtb  4 года назад +1

      Mate, they are fantastic. There is now way I could not mention the tech. I was pretty blown away by how savage they were. When things settle down I intend to visit again, just to try and get a bit more control! An amazing place Steve 👍

    Bonkers trails indeed. Have to admit that I've avoided them for the last year as I've been too scaredy-cat to give them a go even though they are only 30mins drive away from me....but I've tackled Pitmedden Trails and done the Fair City Enduro recently, so might wait for a reasonable day and hope the ground is not sodden and give them a blast.....been sessioning the trails up the Old Kilpatrick Hills of late as these have been quite challenging for me in some rather slippy conditions this September/October/November.

    • @streetpigeonmtb

    Aberfoyle is one the most challenging places to ride especially if it’s wet. “Humbling” to describe it is very accurate. Makes you feel like you’ve never been on a bike before. Always good to say you have ridden it but would be better to say you have conquered it. Alas this is unlikely for the majority. Good honest vid.
