Glad you enjoyed the trails. Some of the trails have been there for over 20 years. OTG was built in 2018 by me and the name is my business. Off The Grid Mtb No surprises when Covid was built when I live at Badaguish. Some work will be done on it soon.
Greetings from a Sunny Cape Town S.A happy to see u out on the bike again hows the fitness doing miss seeing u doing the big mountain days with your normal mtb great video after bad weather on your side but keep up the good videos!!!!
Enjoy the sun dude 😢😜 Fitness isn’t great just now due to a lack of riding over the winter. A couple of big mountain days on the regular bike will sort that out though 👍
nice riding Andrew -looks like a great location to spend the day on the bike - some of those trails were tight though! - that COVID one looked like it had its moments too! great stuff, enjoy the trip :)
Well, I caught my bars and went OTB whilst chasing Neil Wilson from Off The Grid (who made some / all the trails) down covid so I'd say 800mm bars are too wide! Could be Neil's just better than me on a bike though!! He'd be a good guide / someone worth you catching up with
Love it!! These are our local trails so I'm biased, but Sneak Chute / 1st Descent are mega! And that last wee section of Canadian DH is so short but SO good! Great video!
I'd struggle too mine both on 800s 😂. Some amazing trails there bro ❤️ it. Fantastic day gd ridin Wat more cud ya ask for. Great vid 👍. Enjoy your Holiday too
Have to say since I’m just starting out on trails your videos have been a massive help especially looking for places I want to go. Everyone is telling me to try carron valley since I’m just starting out and it’s fairly local just wondering what other peoples opinions are on the place
Ya Pikachu loving SOB! Carron Valley is a good look into MTB trails. Certainly on the easier side of things, they would be on par with Glentress Blues for the most part. Nothing to really catch you out on Eas Dubh or Cannonball, Runway is the better of the 3. Canada Wood is also local to you and easier again than Carron Valley, however, it does have the Funduro and Rooty Tooty to give you an intro into riding roots and line choice. Natural trails in Stirling - Cambusbarron, North 3rd, Uni/Mine woods, Kippenrait and also Dumyat and Witches Craig woods are where I cut my teeth! Gimme a shout if you want a look :) I'm only in Alloa and only been riding for a year so a pretty fresh pair of eyes and know where you're coming from without being jaded by decades of experience haha.
@@RootsGaragemy mistake! 🤣 wait, so you're the one that HAS been in the army or the one that hasn't? You're the one that does media with the White S14.
I’ve actually never been to Carron Valley, so couldn’t say. Glentress is the benchmark and we’ll have the widest variety of trails for you. Comrie Croft and Laggan Wolftrax are also great, but don’t have as many trails on offer.
I’m up in Aviemore next week for my 40th. Any recommendations for some chilled evening rides with a bit of tech, pencilled in Lairig Ghru if there’s not too much snow but just trying to get some lower level ideas for a evening spin.
Thanks Andrew...as you get older , you'll find you NEED to have a working one ! Think Capri sun..no straw . I've slammed it into my stem...accidentally , and its no fun .....Peace
Could it possibly be better management of forests ie better gaps between trees.🤔...most forests trees are so close they take each other down... or just long wet spells then gales...take care with them crossbars😱😉😉
the trees are purposely planted close together to to encourage them to grow straight up to give straight trees / wood. Them after a while they are thinned out removing the twisted / dead / unsuitable ones to leave the others to grow larger. most of the trees there are fairly thin so not an old crop.

No ce and more snow on the way for you you lucky chap 🚵♂️💨💨💨
Haha, I’m in Spain just now……but it’s snowing here too!🤦🏼♂️
Looks like a nice day for it and the trails were riding nice, you hit some nice spots for riding 👍
Right on the mummy/daddy button 😆
I chuckled at "a working penis is over-rated anyway" 😂
That it’s official name😜
@@McTrailRider 😆
Love Aviemore, like how you stopped to take in the vista.
Couldn’t not stop for that view.
Thoroughly enjoyed that one dude, had a proper nostalgiagasm of times spent in the pine forests back home in my youth.
Keep up the good work!
Time well spent mate 👍
Nice one MrMcT, you really do show what you have with super clarity, when are Scotland tourism gonna get you on board 😉 love your vids 😎🌞
Great stuff. Glad you had a good day.
Thanks Rhett 👍
Looks amazing. In Aviemore next Friday was going to do Highburnside but may include this too as it looks fun 👍. Thank you again
Worth including, maybe better as a warm up for burnside.
@@McTrailRider thank you very much. Will do 👍👍

My all time favourite trails so far. Can’t beat the pine forests!
Can’t be beaten indeed
Trails look brilliant up there dude great edit good day for it to 🏴🔥🤟🏻 enjoy your trip
Thanks buddy

Tight trails for sure

Maybe a bit of both 😜 Neil has done a great job with the trails 👍
Great vid, I'll have to go and check those trails out, love a bit of twisty technical singletrack.
A match made in heaven.
Love it!! These are our local trails so I'm biased, but Sneak Chute / 1st Descent are mega! And that last wee section of Canadian DH is so short but SO good! Great video!
Yeah, that last section is very good indeed 👌 great local trails for you.
Great video trails looked nice and technical in places..perfect to test out the Ebike.👍
Good test for sure
Forest looks like it could do with a bit of thinning out but looked like a lot of fun!
These trees are definitely closer together than the other forests nearby.
I'd struggle too mine both on 800s 😂. Some amazing trails there bro ❤️ it. Fantastic day gd ridin Wat more cud ya ask for. Great vid 👍. Enjoy your Holiday too
Thanks buddy 😊
Insane bro
Thanks dude
Looked fast through those trees, I'm always so paranoid about hitting them when I go through narrow trails like that!
Definitely not good to catch the bars 😱
Away from the trails…..how stable are mullet emtbs at no hands, lol !! ;)
I don’t want to find out 😜
Not going to get wet - not today. That lasted about 5 minutes 🤣🤣
😂😂🤦🏼♂️

Could it possibly be better management of forests ie better gaps between trees.🤔...most forests trees are so close they take each other down... or just long wet spells then gales...take care with them crossbars😱😉😉
I suspect your right. Better spacing with more room and nutrients for the roots will definitely help.
the trees are purposely planted close together to to encourage them to grow straight up to give straight trees / wood. Them after a while they are thinned out removing the twisted / dead / unsuitable ones to leave the others to grow larger. most of the trees there are fairly thin so not an old crop.
