    I find it unbelievable that some one gave this video a thumbs down. An absolutely TOP video from a wonderful enthusiast of downhill mountain biking. Unfortunately, due to injury and age, I am now restricted to x-country and sensible descents but videos like this really LIFT ME and remind me of what I used to do without fear... AWESOME VIDEO.

      Thanks so much mate. I absolutely love your positivity! I don't let the occasional thumbs down get to me. I sometimes think places like RUclips attract people who just like be negative as starting point! I'm glad you are still managing to get out on the trails and I'm really pleased you enjoyed this video 🤙

    We did Ballo last week in the damp & mud. It still rides so well. Cracking variety of trails. Standout for me was your 2nd last trail "Spicy bits".
    Pitlochry & Cathros is good but Ballo & Yair are the best destinations this year.
    Enjoying your uploads.

      Thanks mate. Great to here your feedback and opinions. It has reminded me that I need to get to Yair again soon!

    Class mate. This has been our stomping ground for years and it’s amazing to see how much it’s come on over time. You are right though, there is a tipping point with this place when it gets either too wet or too dry where those off camber roots will do their best to catch you out. See you guys up there sometime if you go back.

    • @streetpigeonmtb

      Cheers man. I really hope to get back their soon although I tend to stay near my local when winter gets here. Hopefully we still have a good few weeks of decent weather ahead of us. Cheers for taking time to comment bud 👍

    “Hopefully it’s like a korma” 😂 love it. Great video! Looks like there’s been a fair bit built since I was last there! Can definitely confirm it is crazy in the wet 😂 did the ballo enduro there a few years back in the wet and it was wild!

      Thanks mate. I really appreciate that. I tried to mix it up a bit with tunes and cuts to keepnit engaging. Longer than I would've normally liked but it was so difficult to choose what to cut out. In the end I still had to miss out one trail. I'd love to take you guys there one day.

    Geez, if you think Ballo is that good then I'll have to give it a go 👍. Might try and do this when back in Scotland later this year either going to/coming back from a social visit. Also saw some trails at Perth (Kinnoul & Deuchny) used for the Fair City Enduro. Have you ever done those? Could also be good getting those in on the same trip.

    • @streetpigeonmtb

I like the look but the quality is amazing. That top I wear has been through the wash about 100 times and been into a few trees. It is still in mint condition. My favourite is there recycled hoodie.
