Cheers mate. There are deffo some more edits from Switzerland. Going to mix them in with Scotland ones as well to ensure the videos are plenty varied. Thanks again 🤘
Welcome to the Alps, i'm surprised you've never ridden there. Kudos to you on the park stuff, well above my skill level - but the rocky trails... there's heaven on earth for me. Switzerland has an embarrassment of riches, and it's all so accessible (at a price!)
Cheers David. This is only my second holiday abroad on the MTB! I'm afraid I'm pretty late to the party! I fully agree that Switzerland is amazing. It really did blow me away. Hope the vid was a good watch for you and cheers for taking time to comment 🤘
Thanks guys. Yup, it was quite a mad place. Everything is built so well. You just need faith and some kahunas... Thankfully I grew some for a change 😄😆
The more I see the Swiss Mtb trails the more I want to go, miles of different trail types through the mountains, gondola uplifts - perfect! Thanks for sharing Jamie, great you enjoyed you Mtb holiday,😁🤙
Thanks Gary. I deffo think Switzerland deserves to be on the bucket list. The only down side is the cost as the Swiss Franc is very strong compared to the pound. Basically, expect to pay double compared to UK prices 🙈 Trails are so varied though 👌
@@streetpigeonmtb Yes I've heard it can be pricey, but definitely a great experience, hope you don't mind me asking but how much approx was whole trip in total?
@garyalexander3281 That's a good question. I think we managed to get it all done for somewhere between £1600 to £2000. Sorry I don't have an exact figure - I have it all jotted down but haven't tallied it up. We saved money by renting the vans from the French side of the airport in Basel - saved us hundreds. Also, we stayed in something close to a hostel. It was basic but very nice and clean. The other big saver was getting lunch and even sometimes dinner at the Co-Op. Finally, not spending much on booze and purchasing it at the supermarket saved loads. I think without these cost savings we would have been closer to £2500 👍
@@streetpigeonmtb Thanks Jamie much appreciated for info and tips for going cheaper, thought it would be about this price. Would probably hire a bike when there checked prices are roughly the same as they are here.
Wonderful stuff Jamie. This video is a belter. Great Intro sequence, love the pov footage, the blend of comentary, story telling and choice of backing tracks. All round great produstion quality. 👌😀🤘
Nice one bud. I really appreciate that. I love spending time to get the edits to work. Sometimes it makes the editing pretty slow, but I love it when it comes together in the end 👍
Awesome Jamie! Those drops looked on the pant-soiling side of fun - fair play to you for hitting them all. Loved the last trail. Looked like Munro riding on steroids. Can’t wait to see the rest of the six days. Nice one!
Cheers Simon. Yeah, some of those drops really put the fear in me. But then you just remember that people ride off them on a daily basis with no questions asked. Bike Park is a definite thing and quite a specific skill set for riding. Wish we had a bit more if it around the UK 👌
Awesome content! The drone shots are superb and just make this edit even more epic. Your riding and confidence has increased so much since I started watching your channel. You are definitely NOT an average rider! Please tell me there is more to come :D
Cheers mate. That drone has been a bit of a game changer. It shows the landscape so well... The good news is there is at least 3 more vids from Switzerland, maybe 4! I have 4 Scottish edits in the pipeline as well. Thanks for the positive message mate 👍
Great video, those trails look incredible. Nice to see them from the perspective that isn’t a pro but certainly a pretty competent rider. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest.
Fantastic vid mate, and fair play for hitting them features! 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻 What was that chunky rocky trail called after dinner? Looks ace! Also what was the music at the end? Can't wait for the others!
Cheers buddy. The music was something of Epidemic sounds. No idea though as there are so many good tunes on that site. Not sure of the trail either... Let me check my Strava...
@streetpigeonmtb Nice one. Yeah, all good, but I've not been riding much recently. But planning to get back out soon. Keep up the great vids and riding 👍
Great to see the Street Pigeon spreading his wings! Jokes aside, pretty inspiring to see you push those boundaries. More to come from this trip? Random question, but did you take you full face as carry on no drama?
Thanks mate. Yeah, I need to push myself a bit more. I was really proud of my day 1 efforts. I put my full face in my bike bag buddy. I was super short of space with all the camera gear!
Definitely not an average rider from that and your other great footage. I really think spending a couple of days at a bike park can do wonders for progression and hoping to do so myself this weekend closer to home at Dyfi. Great stuff 👏
Hey mate. It's a great place but the downside is Switzerland is really expensive. It was somewhere around £1600 for the week, but that was a real cost saving effort - renting vans in France, staying in a hostel, eating at Co-Op, not really drinking!
Ah, thanks for the feedback. I'm surprised as the levels are checked through fairly carefully. If you don't mind me asking, could you give me a time stamp of anything that was bad for you? It would be good for me to check them out and see what is going on. Cheers buddy 👍
Great stuff Jamie. I’m so glad you had such a great time while you were visiting.
Hey mate. We got a tour from the best so it was bound to be a good one. Thanks again Darren 🥰
A love how much laughter and ous and ahhs are in your vlogs class more of the bike park please 👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers mate. There are deffo some more edits from Switzerland. Going to mix them in with Scotland ones as well to ensure the videos are plenty varied. Thanks again 🤘
cracking day 1 video for the trip. NOICE! Looking forward the next ones!
Cheers mate. Can't wait to get the next edits out!
Great Video Jamie, loved watching all the trails you rode on this video, keep up the great entertaining videos.
Thanks Ewen. No plans to stop making the videos yet! 🤘

Well done I was scared just watching some of those features!! Trails look properly good!
Thanks guys. Yup, it was quite a mad place. Everything is built so well. You just need faith and some kahunas... Thankfully I grew some for a change 😄😆
Awesome video Jamie! Respect on your commitment on those features, i was nervous just watching!
Cheers mate. Really appreciate that. Love it when it all comes together... It was a rare day indeed!
Great vid mate. A lot of good editing went into that 👍 Well done for hitting those features too 👊

Yes the Pigeon goes International! Great riding
Ha ha. International pigeon indeed! Still found my way home though... Like a true pigeon 😆
Looks awesome and well done for hitting some of that stuff blind too!
Thanks mate. Those places are so well built that blind riding becomes less risky. Still took a lot of faith though 🙈
Can't wait for you to coach me on features
I'll do my best buddy! Not sure I'll be able to return the same quality of coaching that you deliver 👌
Jamie you do not have permission to call yourself average anymore 😂 🤙🏻
Great video wish I was there.
😆 You would love it I'm sure. Some simply amazing riding 👌
Inspiring as always , you didn't look out of place there ...let that sink in. Great content , look forward to viewing the rest of the adventure 🤘🤘🤘
Cheers mate. I appreciate that. I feel like I've got some good vids coming your way... A lot of footage to get through though! 🙈
Looks stunning.

How did I miss this one?
Superb stuff Jamie👍

Cheers man. I totally agree with your bike park sentiment. I'm quite keen to get Dyfi myself. Have a good one mate 👍
That's impressive Jamie.
The sense of achievement comes through on the vlog.
You'll be nailing Fort William next time you're up there!
Ha ha. Cheers buddy. Some days just work out so dam well. I was buzzing mate 😁
Epic bro. That's a sik vid class ridin mate. Class group of Mtb crew x
Cheers Diz. It was such a special day. Those bike parks don't muck about!
@@streetpigeonmtb nps n I'm average u ain't lol
@DizRidesMtb the Tweed Valley would disagree with that! 😆
@@streetpigeonmtb bro if I'm eva up ur way we meet n ull see 😂 😂 😂 😂
@DizRidesMtb 😁😁😁
Every trail in the valley will feel like a blue now...personally would love to take a trip like that sometime
Ha ha. There deffo won't be that much air time on the local trails! Hope you make it out there one day 👌
I'm not jealous at all.
Sorry buddy. Yeah, it's an amazing place eh? 👍
What a video, place looks amazing. Did u ever get your gloves back?
I did! Just editing the video where the gloves were returned. Good times!
Well done looks epic what are costs like to do the trip
Hey mate. It's a great place but the downside is Switzerland is really expensive. It was somewhere around £1600 for the week, but that was a real cost saving effort - renting vans in France, staying in a hostel, eating at Co-Op, not really drinking!
Looked great
It was really good mate. I'm loving having the footage to look back on.
I enjoyed the video, the music was disappointing could not hear you very well 👍
Ah, thanks for the feedback. I'm surprised as the levels are checked through fairly carefully. If you don't mind me asking, could you give me a time stamp of anything that was bad for you? It would be good for me to check them out and see what is going on. Cheers buddy 👍
Hi, it was when you were descending the trails, it eased of when you stopped. Thank you for replying 👍
@flojohick No problem 👍
Doing yourself a disservice calling yourself average.
Agree he's a class rider n bloke
Next level stuff Jamie another excellent vid 👏
Cheers Andy. What a day on the bike. Must've had my big boy pants on that day 😆
Nothing wrong with being an average enduro rider. The level of riding has increased so much in the past 5 years. I'm more than happy to be average 🤪
@@streetpigeonmtb no. I'm average.
