    I remember thinking you were riding fast that day. The video doesn't lie. Legend 🙏

      My crack level was fairly low that day, so I compensated by riding as fast as I could 😜

    You boys are crazy good. I wish I could do the same but alas the passing years has put that behind me. Our impromptu meet at the Trail Head of 'Harry's Blue', Glentress today, just rubber stamped my already formed impression that you are a decent, 'down to earth' really nice guy. You have given me many hours of wonderful free entertainment. For that I thank you. It was great to meet you and have a 'blether' about this and that. You deserve all that is good in life. Wishing you the very best for the future Andrew. Cheers. Big Stoozer. 🤠

    Another fantastic video Andrew and possibly the best AE off-piste showcase video I've seen. I've been thinking about going there soon (on the limit of day trip distance), just not sure I'm up to it yet. The pace you rode these trails looks scary, amazing!

    Sam and me (my son) met you at top of Spookey Wood few weeks ago. We went to Ae forest and thought it was the worst place to ride in the world but dunno how we missed the red trails. Ended up climbing for miles and gave up, went to DALBEATTIE the next day

  • @wayneemslie8904
    @wayneemslie8904 4 месяца назад

    Excellent, nice vid! Was wondering what the state of play was at Ae after the storms. Also curious why you hadn't been back as the PMBA Enduro goes there and other vids make it look pretty good (StreetPigeon, etc). Scrambled Eggs and Frazers were good but looks like more now. I read the trails are under local guardianship now like ATA so good for them. If they can get other locations to do the same it'd be fantastic as the Dumfries area used to be pretty good back in the 7Stanes era (slabs at Dalbeattie/Kirroughtree). Its really bonny down that way too.

    Ace “let out a panic fart” 😂. I did one of them today at Golspie when I over popped a tabletop and landed 12ft beyond it 😅. Might be done SW next week, so will check out Ae. Are those trails on Trailforks ? Great vid thanks 😊

    • @McTrailRider
      @McTrailRider  4 месяца назад +2

      That’s worthy of a bit more than a fart 😂
      If you hit the link in the description that says “do this ride” you’ll be able to see the route we did.
