The Best Trail Destination In Scotland?
Спорт
It had been too long since my last visit to Dunkeld and I had been itching to return for some time. Both of the hills I hit in this video I have only hit once before.
The first is Burnam hill and the second is known simply as the mast but it's actual name is Newtyle hill.
Dunkeld has four hills with good trails in total which makes it one of the best non trail centre destinations for riding in Scotland.

you know its a good video when it makes you want to ride your bike, great videos keep it up
We did Pink Floyd yesterday and it is epic! Fast, flowing and such fun!
Looks like you were learning to fly at the start of the pink Floyd trail. Overall another cracking vid. Really want to get to Dunkeld and try them out myself

It’s well worth the visit, seems that there is work getting done all the time there now 👍
Great vids, nice trails at Dunkeld, bit natural, tight and not enough jumps for me though, any recommendations for flowy, jumps trails in Scotland?

To be honest, Scotland lacks flow and jump trails. Glenlivet has just added an orange jump line which looks really good.
the loose slate switch backs near the end have big drops which aren't apparent on the Gopro. a wee bit of poo came out when I did it . I use these vids for research before trying them thanks mctrail

..great riding man!...fast,fast and fast...love it,and a wheelie to finish...
Best mtb videos I've seen on KZread. I could never do something like this because the only words that come out of my mouth are expletives... That and the fact I'm shite on a bike
Great video. Will be trying these trails for sure 👍
Those locals kept you on your toes FairPlay!!!!! Insanely fast even without following them 👍 excellent videos now mate, the investment is paying off, even your dad would have been twitching watching that, making him proud
The sound of the bikes on the rock shales is amazing. Impressive you can ride stuff like that (semi) blind so fast!
nice video great fun trails, just what I needed after 3 weeks nursing my broken arm, reminds me why I ride thanks.
Heart was pumping watching that. Cheers.
Impressive speed going down those trails. Looks good
Just catching up with the vids Andy and they still on the money mate best out there , keep doing what you doing they just get better , I’ve just spent best part of a hour catching up and loved every minute 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🚵🚵✅✅
Brilliant trails and riding ! I love riding without gloves aswell ....feels so much better
Dunkeld is stunning, use to visit the Hilton there for work 👍
Sliding on the slates ! Pretty good vid !
Brilliant bike and camera setup....highly enjoyable! Thanks

McTrail Rider I’ve got gd1 factory slim, boys have GE1 slims and I put GA2 on the hardtail. Not cheap either.
Awesome riding!
Love your freehub sound!
I like the sound of the slate rock.
superb m8. nice 👍
Great vid mate! By the way you used the gimbal footage instead of the chin cam? Was it better for this trail?
Great trails Mate. The no gloves thing always makes me nervous...
Wonder what had happened to flow wrecker James, Might need to give Dunkeld a whirl as its not too far away from me, Bet its a swamp now tho as those trails look good
my other half (wheezy) is from Scotland and after watching some of your older vids she would love for us to make the 9hour drive and ride some of them. o and also visit the place she was born :)
Awesome quality!! Def loved this one. Is that a new dropper?

Also I think that some third person shots really help with showing the true stepness of the trail but that's a lot to ask of someone and I feel it may kind of ruin your ride Having to stop and set up cameras. And your buddies may hate having to stop from time to time lol Maybe the drone on follow mode on some of the more open places could show it? One of the vids had incredible drone riding shots. Just throwing out some thought. With that said your killing it and the channel is growing and you do what makes you happy! That way I get more vids lol 😁🤙🤙
Looks like I went to the wrong hill when I was up there a few weeks ago. I was not used to riding such steep rocky trails so I was really struggling and couldn't ride much of it properly
Wow that's awesome. How long is the hike to the top?

McTrail Rider That would be ace & thanks! Just realised I should have scrolled down the comments 🙄 common question it seems. Sorry.
Not wearing gloves while biking is generally healthy, because almost all gloves pinch some nerves in your palms, and can hurt you that way. This is one reason why your palms can become numb in gloves. The downsides are falls (d'uh), and cold weather. You might not feel it when your body is hot from riding, but cooling joints too much is not advisable. The same goes for your elbows, knees, and feet.
Quality .
This is siiiick. Could anyone direct me to the best riding spots for someone who’s never ridden in Scotland?
What settings do you use for exporting gopro footage ? I use premiere and i can't get this hq even filming at 2'7k

What do you think of the air liners? Do they help with damping as well like the cushcores?
@gmow99

McTrail Rider so no notice of added damping as advertised?
@drjarvis2003

have been running the airliners around the same trail as you at Dunkeld and it feels like just running tubeless, you can hear them rattling about inside the tyre on soft loamy ground, but its not a problem. i see cushcore are now listing plus size inserts. Anyway, so far so good and no dings...yet!
What bar and stem are you running?
EWS needs to host an event there!

@@McTrailRider watching your video makes me want to come over to Scotland. I'm going to start recording more my rides and maybe make a KZread channel for fun I do have one already but it's not much a couple of 30 second videos. If you could make a video showing all the gear you carry and stuff like what kind of storage cards you need etcetera batteries that would be awesome
