    That’s a hell of a top to bottom run in one go!

    Totally agree with you. I rode it this year. Best trail of my life. I was almost a bit sad as its 3000km from home and i dont know if ill ever get a chance to do it again.

    The camera does no justice to how chunky and steep TC is. You rode the river crossing super smooth. I sometimes find it hard to carry speed round the corner into it and end up with wet feet 😄.

    Nevis range is now my local trail but Im only used to English and Welsh reds so trying to slowly build my confidence . Done Blue Doon (too easy ) and the red downhill at Glencoe ( managable but crashing in the same place twice dented my confidence ) .
    Are there unavoidable drops and jumps on top chief ?
    Do you suggest hiring some armour and going for it at a reasonable pace ?
    I will be on a hardtail also .

      Hard tail will certainly be challenging buddy. I took armour because my body is battered anyway. You can take chicken lines on certain sections but it's still challenging regardless.

    WOW Mike, serious trail that eh dude? It is apparently graded as black, but I would have put it at more of a tech red myself? Well, like a BPW tech red anyway!

    • @MikesMTBAdventures
      @MikesMTBAdventures  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its a black mate in my mind. Its so much worse in real life. Serious consequences in some areas 😂😂

      Ride it then you realise why it's black. The camera doest do it justice. Can't be compared to ay BPW red !!!

      Yep, me and my buddy have ridden TC and the DH on our hardtails many many times. You just need to take your time in some of the sections on both trails. For me these trails are about taking your time and really soaking up the experience and the views - a hardtail forces you to take it a little slower! Go for it!

    You should see Lewis Buchanan’s video. He was flying through this and he called it “chilled run”. Sick trail

    Your hands must've been killed after that! Looks pretty phisically and technically demanding and long. I like Your approach to it as well reasonable, careful but still decent riding 👊

  • @protarget1
    @protarget1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Everyone who has has ridden the TC and the WCDH. all say the Top Chief is harder and more physical. And then the Down Hillers point out that the black at Glen Coe is harder than both
