Totally with you on being polite and courteous to walkers; I ride cheeky trails quite often but always give way and am always cheery and polite and very rarely get any negativity. Unfortunately, not all bikers are the same, think they own all trails and see walkers as being a hindrance to their Strava times; I like to call them bellends. The footage from the Seven is worth the hassle; the audio was pretty spot on too.
The one time I did the whole climb up Motts road, I got to the top hoping to collapse on the grass, to find a school party there and the teacher decided to lead a round of applause from the kids to spur me on.....I had to cycle on until out of sight until I could collapse and quietly have a heart attack....
Jim I’m running a 32t up front and 11-42 XT on 27.5. Struggle a bit as 56 now. Hard work round Degla on the black climbs. Was thinking of trying a 11-46. What the jump in ratio’s like ? Or Suntour 11-46 as ratio’s closer. Great vid BTW. Hero 7 is brill dude. Hope to get on this trail with my son come spring.
When I last did the last down hill on from the gliders club there was some mad dog by the farmers house that whenever you went past they would be that crazy. I always found extra power to get out of there when them dog was there.
The first downhil trail is called Town Brook... In the past There were NT signs saying no bikers. Like Jim says... Please choose carefully when to ride down there. It's such an amazing bit of trail. I went down there recently. Luckily I only met two walkers who were extremely polite. Great vid Jim
@13.30 .... tut tut the footpath police are about ya know 😂😂 we usually hit Townbrook very early before the walkers start walking up it ... its a mint descent though
Being from Telford often up in all weather, I tend to ride any trail if you can access it and rarely have a problem with hikers as like you demonstrated I always stop and give way, but I have to be honest to observing that many don't and the reason there are problems at times. The first trail you did down I did up on my very first visit to the area and it was impossible (for me) the higher up I got. There is a brilliant short drop down to carding mill just above willow batch that will rattle your bones
I have stopped going to Longmynd coz of walkers having a go at me when I was riding over there. One walker tried pushing myself & my wife off our bikes.
Thinking of tackling this trail with some mates but we all have an awful sense of direction. Is it well sign posted? I've heard you need map reading skills.
Great vid, love the informal style as always. First decent looks ace, never seen that before and ridden there a few times. Also, does Rob Brydon always eat sandwiches longways!?
Great riding up there. Fair play trying to pedal up from Carding Mill Valley Jim, I always default to a bit of hike a bike up there.

Before going down Minton, try put some spit on the lens 👍

I certainly wouldn't go back from the big hearing, you could also go smaller and oval on the front, oval has helped my knees no end!
@@PinnedTV I have been using an oval for 7 months Jim and agree great for the knees..You anything for my bad back . lol
Any chance of a GPX for this route?

1st comment... wehey. Was just watching the east ridge vid. Then this pops up. Awesome. Keep um coming. Cheers for the content!
Looks a great place 👍
Will got amazing bike shop bought my first yeti from him 2017 traveled up from Devon to collect it 🚒👍
Blazing Bikes highly recommended , another great insight into rides out there
Stretching the 4:3 image out to 16:9 in post is pretty much what Superwide does in Camera. ;)
Love the new 80's aspect screen ratio!! 😄 Great guide again Jim, most enjoyable..
Great vid again👍, must try and get there sometime. The new go slow looks good, quality images!
Thinking of tackling this trail with some mates but we all have an awful sense of direction. Is it well sign posted? I've heard you need map reading skills.
Yeh really, Blazing Bikes have maps there and they're pretty simple to follow
What's with the weird reverb in the voice?
It's the wind reduction mixed with the foam jacket, or SRAM fitted it! 😁
Awesome vid just ordered some Vittoria tyres thanks to your great advice 🤘🏻#keepitpinned
Nice one Jim. Heading over later on in the year for few days. Staying in one of them pods
Great video, the new 7 certainly is smoother, worth the wait in the end I guess.....
See you at the winter warm Jim
Let hope it's not as wet & cold as last year.
Great vid, love the informal style as always. First decent looks ace, never seen that before and ridden there a few times. Also, does Rob Brydon always eat sandwiches longways!?
Haha yeh, we call him that!!
Great vid again, we’re off here at the weekend, can’t wait !! 👊👊
Good old long mynd very underated place to ride at..Great video!
Forget how good the trails are round there, did you say your doing the winter warm up? If so I'll see you there, better with the go slow 7! 🤘
Yes mate
Bought my last 2 bikes from will always does a good deal
Why would you carry a pack with plugs and no spare tube? 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I had one, but he can nob off!! 😁😁
On the money Jim enjoyed it yet again 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Another great guide must try this place this year
Thought we’d have a video without squeaky brakes at one point ;) dialled down love it
New cleaning technique! Going to film it soon!
Love Minton batch, great riding!
Squeaky brakes again Jim 😂😂
