Rode cannock years ago. I'm 55 now, loads of operations later but watching this i found my self smiling without realising. Not been on my bike for 8 years but i'm so glad I've still got it! Nice vid
That’s always the trouble with Cannock. It’s got great lines but they’re always rutted to hell. Just seems like the locals just ride it to death and don’t maintain them which is a shame.
Cannock is down the road from us, the dog and monkey are our training grounds really. We did stoke cop 3 days ago for the first time. Loved it. Great video, as was a bit nervy about the 3 skull runs, now I know what to expect. Cheers man
I got around the chase with relative ease for a novice rider, though I did almost killed my self at stile cop, On the first run I went down and decided to leave was on my own and did not fancy getting hurt. Any one going in the next couple months and do not mind showing me what's what I'd love to hear from you, as social distancing is relaxed obviously. The video is great but on the ground experience is a little different.
New line was my favourite line at the cop but I never tried that line before, I just loved blasting down the s bends, ill certainly take a look if I ever get another bike
across the road from the car park entrance just to the left there’s a little path that I push my bike up seems a bit easier to me than riding up the entrance road also there’s a fair bit of unofficial trail building on the car park side of the road with some bigger drops but these aren’t as well maintained
Yeah I’m familiar with that little path, I sometimes use it although occasionally it’s a bit over grown too depending on the time of year... I think for the videos I try to keep it simple and easy for folks to follow. And yeah there’s loads of unofficial tracks, especially on the Chetwynd coppice side I’d love to do a video of them but it’s I’m not sure how to go about it, it can get a bit political, people don’t like it when secret trains get shared, which is understandable 😊
Cracking vid mate. But when your at the bottom of the red. Directly infront if you is a steep hill with a nudded rut. Push up that. Ride from the too bear rightt then left that is top of lower cliff. Super quick. Qnd q good way to chuck in stile coo at the end of your monkey ride great vid dude. Cheers
there is a much much quicker way to the top of lower cliff you take a right at the very bottom of stile cop then there is a track on your left taking you straight to the top a push up though
SparkyDog ManiaCLAN1124 udtlh dude stile cop on my enduro/trail bike a DH is a bit overkill in my opinion as I think it’s very much a beginners DH track that said a lot of people use DH bikes, especially if they’re less experienced.

Wonkydog Leathercraft great comment, you sum up the Very essence of mountain biking!
Great video. As a progressing beginner you don't always know what you are getting into, videos like this are great first look. 👍

its just the shear volume of traffic that destroy the waymarked trails. Locals tend to use the offpiste stuff :)
Never been to cannock chase. It's great that youve made this much effort to provide all this information! Great stuff subscribed!! 👍

Drone footage makes a huge difference to the videos! Awesome stuff! keep them coming!!
Cheers mate, we've really upped our game for the new year, we've got a lots planned but all with great video production hopefully
New line was my favourite line at the cop but I never tried that line before, I just loved blasting down the s bends, ill certainly take a look if I ever get another bike
New to the area and watching this is very helpful! Otherwise I'd be getting soooo lost!
Glad you liked it

Great Video! Heading there soon! What was the trail at 17:05 it looks awesome! 😀
Glad you liked it, not sure of the trail it’s been a long time since I made this vid 😀
Hi, this trail is called Lower Cliff. It’s great fun to ride
@@finlaymorgan9365 thank you m8 👌
Really nice
Is cop best in summer or winter, I went up yesterday and had a fall on one of the drops down the bottom because it was quite moist 😬
Winter is always better at stile cop. Too many pebbles in the summer months
Nice informative video ,, subscribed 👍
Do you think it’s okay to have a go down here on a hardtail ? Tia
Great vid pal... Ps when you down Hopwas again?
James Taylor good question, not sure might pop in next time I have 5mins, mostly up Baddeseley digging these days if I have spare time
