Stopadoodledoo
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 7 ต.ค. 2010
Many years ago, a mate and I started up a crappy fanzine which took a light-hearted look at mountain biking, with the emphasis being on the DH scene and how average we all were at it. The fanzine was called Stopadoodledoo and had a small but loyal following.
We have chatted about starting it up again on and off ever since but with Cushtie (James) now living in Seattle and the rest of our merry bunch of idiots spread all over the UK, it was never going to be the same.
As such, I thought why not start recording crap and putting it up on TH-cam, along the same lines as the content of Stopadoodledoo (opinionated, ill-informed guff that people hopefully find amusing and don't take too seriously, or to heart).
This is that relaunch of one of the least memorable names in publishing history.

An early morning blast around Eastridge
An early morning blast around Eastridge
Jonathan (@MTB_Derbyshire) and his wife were holidaying in Shropshire and lucky him, she was happy for him to take his bike with him and get out on some rides. As such, we chatted about meeting up at Eastridge on Thursday morning; I, however, must have missed the bit where he said to meet at 7am!
So, up I got at 5am, drove down and we had an absolute blast riding the trails, which were running perfect.
I bloody love Eastridge, pretty sure Jonathan does too now

Making a stupid idea reality - a brutal ride
มุมมอง 1.8K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
Lockdown seems a long time go now, a distant memory. At the time, I was riding around Chester and to be honest, getting very tired of riding the same flat trails all the time. In the distance, I could see the hills so hatched a plan to go and ride in them. In the end, Lockdown was lifted and I never got round to it, but the seed of that plan was sown and it's been in the back of my mind ever si...
The best rides are made by who you are with
มุมมอง 97321 วันที่ผ่านมา
I didn't expect to enjoy this ride. It was sold to me as an XC ride starting with a big climb and then a bit of exploring, some moorland trails and only one descent. Probably not selling it to you as a prospective viewer either really. However, not only did I absolutely love the riding (pure old school singletrack for much of it) but we basically laughed and joked around all day. As a result, t...
The trails are riding so good - dry at last!!
มุมมอง 691หลายเดือนก่อน
Remember when the trails were last dry? I actually struggled to recall, all I could think of was Spain back in February. My mate Tony contacted me on Friday evening about going for a ride so I suggested he headed down from North Lancashire to sample some of North Wales's finest; he was not disappointed. The conditions being dry and dusty just added to the day
Mountain Biking, YouTube and Technology - where I draw the line
มุมมอง 833หลายเดือนก่อน
For me, one of the beauties of mountain biking is that it allows you to get out into the countryside, away from the modern world and all it's trappings but as time moves on, as with everything else in life, technology is influencing this great sport/hobby. Much of it is in a very positive way that doesn't detract at all from why I love mountain biking and as time goes on, it is bound to enhance...
A brutal and amazing Lake District ride - Mountain Biking at it's best
มุมมอง 2.7Kหลายเดือนก่อน
A brutal and amazing Lake District ride - Mountain Biking at it's best I've said it before but this is my favourite ride in the Lake District, and is based around Patterdale. Not only is it in some of the most stunning scenery but the riding is just incredible; brutal, unforgiving, exhilerating, tiring and many other adjectives. @TrailFinder , @HallMarc_Trails and I were out all day on this one...
Enjoying riding regardless of YouTube - even in spite of it
มุมมอง 1K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Enjoying riding regardless of TH-cam - even in spite of it It's quite easy at times when making TH-cam videos about mountain bikes to fall into the trap of thinking about what do do and where to ride in order to have a video that will hopefully pull in views, sometimes to the detriment of your enjoyment of riding. Don't get me wrong, I love making videos and it's very rare that I go somewhere s...
The Passion Of The Cyclist
มุมมอง 6802 หลายเดือนก่อน
I got to thinking about my passion for mountain biking and the things that make me so, erm, passionate about it. Too easy to say the usual things so I thought instead about all the little things that make me love it so much. Probably different to what would be on your list, maybe the same? The most bizarre MTB video ever? Probably. I don't 'do' normal though. Normal is dull.
Orange P7 - my long term review
มุมมอง 1.1K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Orange P7 - my long term review Almost a year ago now, I bought an Orange P7. Since buying it, I have ridden it in all conditions in a number of locations and terrains, and have gained a fair bit of experience of how it rides, what's great about it, what's not so great, etc. I don't usually do reviews of stuff. Well, not serious stuff and not in a serious way. However, a few people asked me for...
So what IS an average mountain biker?
มุมมอง 2.8K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
With tired legs following the previous day's ride, I decided to do a short local loop, the fantastic Worlds End near Llangollen. Taking it easy gave me the chance to ramble on about a subject I've been thinking about recently - when we say we are average mountain bikers, what does that actually mean and how can we quantify it? Anyway, it was a beautiful day, beautiful trails, beautiful countrys...
Grizedale Forest - finding some challenging trails
มุมมอง 1.5K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Back in the Lake District for the first time in ages and I thought I'd head to Grizedale Forest to explore, looking for tracks that aren't exactly official... Grizedale Forest, whilst lacking in elevation compared to much of the Lake District, is a huge area and is littered with fantastic trails that cater for all abilities and types of riders. There's fireroads, fantastic bridleways and if you...
The last run curse: Full run down Loamo in Mijas - Spain
มุมมอง 6743 หลายเดือนก่อน
It’s been a busy few weeks, including a trip to Euro Disney and keeping my daughter entertained. Whilst I have ridden my bike almost every day, there’s been nothing worth filming. Anyway, here’s the last video from my recent trip to Spain; foreign MTB trip videos never do well but given it’s been a few weeks with no video, I guess it’s better than nothing (😂). The above hopefully doesn’t detrac...

Dyfi Bike Park: Awesome and Dramatic in equal measures This trip to Dyfi has been planned for some time; all of us (except Tony) had been before but not together, and we've really looking forward to this one. The weather being perfect was a real bonus too. I absolutely love Dyfi Bike Park, such an incredible place to ride. @HallMarc_Trails and @ElectricMountainBiker were with me, as were Shaun ...
Switchbacks Malaga - the flowy trails
มุมมอง 3604 หลายเดือนก่อน
Anyone who has watched my other videos of our Spain trip may be under the impression that all the trails out there are long, rocky and technical but that's not the case (it's just that I much prefer those ones). This video highlights a few of the more flowy trails. If you haven't been to the Malaga area to ride the trails then you are truly missing out. Switchbacks are the longest established r...
Hardtail Vs Full Suspension - Same track - which is quicker and by how much?
มุมมอง 1.5K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hardtail Vs Full Suspension - Same track - which is quicker and by how much? Most times I go to this location, I take my Orange P7 and every time, I convince myself that it's just as quick as my Orange Alpine. The trails are not the most technical but they are far from flow trails. I really was curious how close the two bikes were and there was only one way to find out; take both of them and ti...
