Correct! The Nevis ex "Red Giant" Was upgraded to Black. Probably that's why they change the name to Top Chief. Note it has always been a Black route. I have all ridden all the trail centre's from north of Sherwood Pines. I thought being up Scotland I would try the Red Giant. What a shock!! The Board Walks were ok. They are just a state of mind. Its after it gets tricky. It took me 2.5hrs. Plenty of stops enjoying the views :-)
PS. just to add The Orange world cup downhill course is for very fit experts. The big Chief in comparison is like riding Sherwood Pines Red. I Unless your in that category, you will be stopping and walking allot LOL. ;-)
Man that looks pretty challenging the two drops at the end look nothing on camera but when you look back its mad have a go pro flattens everything out.

Nice ride, on My list now!
Good to hear @Soldy. A lot of fun as the day progresses and your confidence builds.

To be fair, those two drops are easy in comparison to what you’ve tackled before that.
Nice Vid and well done GP.
Thanks Divedaz
LOL confirmed again that Fort William is a bit of monster. I'd love to go there.
I loved it and would really like to go back. My vid of the Downhill will be out next week.
Glitchy Pics great, can't wait.
You won that battle and stayed on the bike!
Makes for a nice change. I'm usually good for a couple of offs on a track like that.
It's called 'Top Chief' now and been upgraded to black. Good job fella :)
Thanks for the update. It’s a great trail but that rock garden is relentless.
this place looks so different when its not full of snow
I've got to get myself up there!
You should Mark, its awesome.
