- Welcome to Dollar MTB trails. I decided to visit Dollar for mountain biking after seeing footage of the Dollar DH trails on Instagram over the first lockdown. In truth, I hadn't been aware of MTB trails at Dollar before this.
Mike Clyne gave me a tour of the trails at Dollar and to say they were a little scary was an understatement. I found the tracks at Dollar MTB to be really testing. In this video I share my experience as honestly as I can.
If you are new to my videos then expect to see high quality riding vlogs shot in the same style as McTrail Rider, Paul the Punter and BKXC. I try to travel to the best MTB locations in Scotland finding you the best mountain biking trails.
This mountain biking MTB / enduro POV video was shot in.. The video was shot on a GoPro Hero 7 mounted on the chin of a Met Parachute helmet using a Gnartec mount.

If I were to ride those trails, one or two of those tree stumps would jump out on front of me!
The little blighters!!
Pleasure to give a thumbs up, thanks for sharing the video!
Great quality!
👍👍
Ah, cheers man! That was such a tough place to ride. Probably the trails that made me most nervous this year as I remember. MTB is such a mental game! Glad you enjoyed the video mate and thanks for the comments and thumbs up. They are always appreciated 😁
Was up there today, what a honking climb in the heat 🥵 another great video & a “Gordon Bennet” will have to add that to the drinking game 😂
🤣 Yeah, it's a big old climb isn't it? How did you find the trails. Any 'holy banjango' moments? 🙈
Great ride. Great video. Videos never capture the true steepness, condition or features you are riding. Good on you for pushing your limits.
Cheers man. Really appreciate that comment buddy 👌👍
Me local trails ....Dollar is one of those places that, if you get down without a dab ..you've smashed it .i ride a hello dave hardtail,and I am always thankful of that 62 head angle down Dollar . Parts of it remind me of the bottom section of gold run ...without sounding patronising...I thought you rode it really well ..
That isn't patronising bud. When you get a compliment from a local you take it and hold onto it! Thanks for taking time to comment bud and total respect for the hardtail commitment 👏
It’s always great to hear what a decent rider from the Tweed Valley makes of my local trails. Dollar took me ages to get my head around. It’s places like Dollar, Dumyat and Bridge of Allan that taught me how to ride GT and Golfie. That climb though! 10k is plenty up there. Well ridden and keep the vids up
Cheers man. I love getting out the valley - that isn't a criticism of our trails! I feel like different locations often offer different riding. It's great for skill building despite the fear! Thanks again for taking time to comment 🙌
Brilliant as always, gopro doesn’t do justice to how techy these trails are!!
Thanks Sam. Couldn't agree more! I was so scared. GoPro kills those trails! 😁
Sometimes we just need to do something that scares us. breathing goes "eh..hu...ehg..he...ah" then "ugh"! But the feeling of satisfaction after stomping it, is so rewarding.
So true my friend. MTB scares me a lot of the time but I absolutely love it! The feeling of achievement is awesome 👌
Yes dude!! Absolutely killing it 🔥🤘
Thanks man. Really appreciate it bud! I'm going to keep working on the edits although may have to reduce the frequency. Editing one per week is killing me 🤣
These Dollar trails are 2 of my favourite trails in the known universe! 👊🏼 Well done man for your first time that’s impressive riding.
Thanks Stuart. Those trails had me feeling like a total newbie! No harm in being humbled every now and again though 🤣
Epic mate - fair play hitting those drops... they looked insane with the tight landings! Great vid as always and great riding!🤙
Thanks mate. Seems like folks are enjoying this edit 😁
Finally got round to watching this. Really need to get along there for a play, no excuse as like 15 mins away. Thanks for filming Jamie, atb Andy
Definitely get yourself there, especially as you are so close! Let me know what you think bud. I found these trails to be really tricky!
Awesome! Well done on riding at your limit and being honest about it. I love how real your vids are!
Thanks Ross! That's really kind of you and it's great feedback. It can be hard to be honest, sometimes it's just tempting to show your best bits. I think it's more relatable if you show the weaknesses as well - of which I have many 🤣
@@streetpigeonmtb Keeping it real makes your content relatable. I feel we get more of the experience. Keep it coming 😁
Will do! 🤙😁
Good job buddy. Top editing and riding as usual. First time riding there..... you stomped it
Cheers mate. In fairness I put that down to the excellent mentor! Thanks so much for showing me around and waiting on the descents. Very much appreciated 👍
Those trails are my local trails. They are hard then try going down them on a xc hard tail like me then you know the trails are really hard. Good video though 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed Dollar mate 👌👌👌
Thanks man. And thanks for putting footage up on Insta! It defo encouraged me to explore a bit more 👍
Great trails ace! Ill be scaring myself this weekend at GT on the vallelujah enduro😂🤙🤞
Yes bud! Let me know how you get on. I rode the course today mate. I think you'll enjoy yourself 😁
Love your videos. Awesome to see a rider on a similar level to me getting honest opinions on trails.
Always leave the like 😎
Cheers Matt. That is kind of you. Those likes make a difference so it really is appreciated 🙌👍
@@streetpigeonmtb you’re so welcome dude.
Great content.
Amazing editing
Such an easy to watch guy too.
Thanks so much bud 👍
Holy banjango you bossed it 🔥🤟
That place was full Banjango 🤣😁🤣🤙
@@streetpigeonmtb you were smashing it mate keep up the good work 👍
Will do! 🙌🤙
Haha it's quite full on in there eh!! Well done man 👊💪
Just a bit! Thanks for putting your vids up mate. They got me pretty excited for visiting the place. I now know how fast you were riding! Well done to you too!
Second run, I thought you was going otb on that second drop! Looks an amazing place.
Ha ha. Yeah, I was pretty worried about that Stuart. Amazing what you can actually roll on a modern enduro bike! It's some place. It would probably be right up your street! 🤙
Great vlog and really fun! Didn’t realise there were so many features there. Looks an amazing but pretty tough place! Well ridden!
Thank you! Yeah, I was shocked by the level of challenge Laura. I'd watched a lot of vids before and I'd thought it looked like Cademuir. It's fair to say it was a lot more challenging. It's the roughness that gets you. Very little time to think!
@@streetpigeonmtb yeah it looks well techy! We'll need to get the brave pants on when we go haha
You and Tomas have plenty brave pants! 💪
Nice - we rode it for the first time on Sunday - it was a bit wet but awesome!
Brilliant mate. I'm so pleased I made it up there... Even if it did scare the hell out of me 🤣
Quality Video Broski! 👍
Ha ha. Thanks man. Not as pacey as your masterpiece! Even more respect for you now mate. You fly on those trails 🙌🙌🙌
@@streetpigeonmtbAaahh pace isn't everything! I've hit those trails more times than I can count, as well as every tree ,stump and gorse bush. Loving your content Brother 🤙
Ah mate, that is super kind of you! I always feel a bit self conscious about faster riders watching but I'm so pleased you are enjoying it mate! 👍
"this is rowdy" :)
🤣 It was indeed!
Great Vid Jamie, have to agree with Ross comments below about the honesty of your material, not afraid to be Africa's and it's relatable. I say this as I lie in bed with sore ribs and elbow after a massive OTB at GT tonight.. momentary lapse of concentration on Pie Run of all trails and the big slimy sniper root got me 🙁
*Afraid not Africa's .. spell check arrgghh
Ah no mate! Sometimes it's the easier trails that get you. Brain switches off a bit and the snipers take you out. Healing vibes mate. Ribs are never good and always hurt a hell of a lot. Thanks for taking time to comment as well mate 👍
Great vid. Dollar is awesome. The GoPro just does not do it justice, the lower section is so tight that you just don't want to catch a peddle or it might flip you off your bike and into a gorse bush ....... 🤬 Aye and the climb is steep!
Totally! There are so many trails snipers waiting to end you. Some place!
Kudos 👏👏👏👏. Dollar is on my list. Here in Bristol I ride steep technical trails so definitely can’t wait to ride Dollar. I absolutely bet I’ll pop my pants and maybe cry but it looks fun 😳😜
🤣 No harm in a bit of trail incontinence! Let me know how you get on if you make it up there bud... Sounds like I need to get to Bristol!
@@streetpigeonmtb thank you. I definitely will, probably after I stop crying 😳. Bristol has some mentally steep stuff that I enjoy scaring my friends on 😜😂
As long as they are still your friends afterwards 🤣
@@streetpigeonmtb 🤔🤣. Just I think 😳🤣
🤣
Glen Sherup isn’t far from Dollar, and equally as challenging. Definitely worth a visit.
Nice one. Cheers for the heads up bud 👍
I agree. Good up there
Brilliant. Another location on the list by the sounds of things! 😁
Looks like I better add Dollar to my must do trail list!. Good riding Jamie, wonder how much more confidence your new Zeb will give u? Great vid as always.
Thanks Alan. I'm hoping the Zeb adds to the confidence but I probably just need to spend more money at the Kahunas shop 🤣
@@streetpigeonmtb Experience is the main kahuna enlarging technique!!!
😁🙌
Nice riding
Thanks Scott. I was feeling put my depth for sure, especially as Mike is so quick! Some days it's good to be scared. Also good to get out the valley and see what else is on offer 👍
Oh my god
Some place 👍
Gnarly tracks but looked fun 🤟
Yeah mate. I'd love to head back and give it a go. Defo need your A-Game at this place 👍🤙
Deffo looks like trails worth checking out then
Very much so! Give them a go and let me know how you get on 🤙
@@streetpigeonmtb sure will many thanks S P 👍
Dollar and Glendevon for a good days riding.
Built by some of the same folk.
Oh! Dollar track was also used by Danny Mac for a TV program on the human body.
No way! Hats off to the builders eh? They can put together a blinding trail. Glen Devon is on the list 👍
@@streetpigeonmtb she's a climb, but 100% worth it for the trail 👌 if you hit Glendevon, Darkside is gonna make you feel a whole new level of awesome. And give you nightmares 🤣
Sounds terrifying 😳!
Dollar is nuts like.....about 20 mins from me. Hectic.
That is a brilliant word to describe it! Wish I'd thought of it on the trail🤙
@@streetpigeonmtb I was made aware of it a couple years ago too. The first trail you done has had a lot of work done on it recently and you can tell. There is a nice middle section off one of the others which is a fine section of trail. Like you say though it's a punishing climb. Well rewarded 🤟🏻
Defo a good location to have in your riding catalogue 👍
