    Scotland is incredible for riding, but its one of those places you just need to watch the weather and jump on a good day, rather than plan ahead, hoping its ok. Still beautiful even when the weather is bleak. Nice work guys!

    One of the best videos you guys did. Looks truely Scottish (you could have seen snow though :D) and the remoteness adds to the exposure. Loved the bit where Blake was almost submarining while self-shooting. Great team on a neat little adventure. Hope you keep these coming
