I was having such an amazing day until that point. In my defense the run previous was so much cleaner and a bit quicker plus I'd done 5 runs of the red and that must have been the 4th or 5th down the black. Exhaustion had definitely set in by that point. I was surprised just how loose the bottom of the black was. It was like riding on marbles in places. As for that last jump I normally hit it a fair bit harder than that but didn't put as much effort into jumping it that run and unfortunately was a bit too far right and was heading for the stream so tried to get left but just ate dirt big style. I've not crashed that hard for years. I literally had grazes bumps and bruises from face to ankle, the worst being cracked ribs on both sides and my shoulder is still bad now. I also managed to snap my mech hanger, bend the chainring, snap a brake lever and take some big gouges out of the handlebars. But all in all I can't wait to get back on the bike and to eventually get back up to Glencoe.

That track looks savage. I don't think my body could take any more than 1 run doing that or atleast attempting it. Fair play for doing it again to capture some footage. Hope your healing well.

Auw. Thanks for falling, for us. Now we know to skip that one :D

Fair play to you Allen for sharing the footage and it shows just how hard it must of been trying to get down that trail

Great effort to go back up again with the camera! It can be difficult to get the momentum back after a spill. You were sending the top section!

Haha thanks, yeah that run definitely got progressively worse.

Good effort! The Go Pro will never show just how crazy that route is. The red was enough for me :-)

Going there tomorrow. Think I'll stick to the red. 😂

Jesus !!!! How did you get down there. Fair play that man for going for it. Personally I think I'll give that a miss. It was brilliant to watch but scary at the same time. Well done. 👏🤘💪😬

Haha thanks, it's actually quite a fun track and normally goes a wee bit better than that. That run just got progressively worse.

That’s a course for pros and even they would struggle, camera does not do the size of those rocks and drops justice, fair play to Alan, thanks for the upload.

I had a very similar experience yesterday, bike just came away from under me and that was the end of my days riding. Fortunately i hadn't broke anything but a sprained ankle, cuts & bruises allowed me to painfully hobble back to the car. This trail however looks savage, fair play to you both you have more balls than I do. All the best Allan and hope you recover quickly.

Well done Allan mate it’s horrible when it’s the end of the day and you’re feeling fatigued, sometimes you end up feeling a bit like a passenger. Speedy recovery dude 🤘

Guys had a mere. Looks savage.

When I eventually do a Scotland trip (I hope soon ha), this is on the hitlist! They should just call it a mile long rock garden haha. Side note on the GoPro, I had that before at Woodys where I thought I lost all footage, but I took the SD out couple of times and let it rest and it all appeared again!

FairPlay to Allan I would have been a bit more sweary 🤬😄

I rode that trail in the rain pre covid. Must admit I didn't do a second run. The Go pro really doesn't do it justice. Can't wait for the day I can try it again.

It is a tough track but pretty rideable, just need to hit the right lines and carry enough momentum. That was by far the worst run I've ever had down there.

Wow might as well order my cab to the hospital in advance if I try that one, fair play Allan. Hoping to get there in a couple of weeks, anyone know which lift tends to stay open more in the winter winds, Nevis or Glencoe?

No dropper post!!

Haha thanks, my testicles were probably the only bit of my body that were uninjured. I felt like I'd been hit by a bus the week or two after.

They say that Laggan's black track is the hardest but it's piss easy compared to this track hahaha.

Its not hardest in uk its hardest in Europe
