- Pete Scullion has wanted me to ride Ben Lawers for a while now, it's one of his most favourite mountains to ride. Today we took total advantage of the amazing weather we've been having and got to ride it with a beautiful sunset with a good group of friends.

There’s nothing finer than the adrenaline rush of carving down a technical rocky bit of singletrack... but you blokes did it for miles and miles and miles!!! Amazing stuff!
Thank you Mr Clarkson. Doubt I could walk those trails.
Beautiful scenery of Scotland, What a trail and skillful riders.
absolutely incredible. you must pinch yourself to be able to ride such trails. man its almost a catch22 can you appreciate the landscape with such intense riding but you only get the intense riding in such landscape. thank you for this vid. keep riding
Superb. Great bunch to be out with. Gimble works a treat. So fluid and just mesmerising to watch.
Just brilliant. I'm too old for this stuff now but really enjoy watching others. Thanks so much.
Wow! And again one of your videos made me wanna book a flight to Scotland instantly😀
Hey Ali Clarkson! Great vid of a fine trail that is similar surface to what I have here in southern British Columbia! For the arm pump check where your brake levers are when they engage the brakes and where they are at rest. Also try different angles on the bar clamps. Check for differences between right and left! Make the left more like the right! Ride ride ride!
👌some nice, patient, line choices here and there (where I would totally see myself going in too hot and melting a rim and rib into a sharp rock) 👍🏻☀️
Fantastic video. Looks like your trials skills and bike control gained from trials were helpful in this video!
Been up Ben Lawers a few times now, the views are first class. The new vans looking smart 👍
3 minutes into the vid - just wanted to say that the gimbal footage is unbelievable it managed to capture the steepness and the obstacles so well atleast up to the point im at.
This is amazing. And the gimbal worked great
I really want to ride those trails, looks craaaazy! Nice video Ali!
A large dose of inspiration, well delivered. Thanks Ali👍
My word man...what an absolute insane and gnarly ride, loved it!!!
Ali, this is flippin amazing man!!
I love this trail! That's going on my 'to do' list.
Comp trials on the "big piece" high up !
Loving it!
Great video Ali, great riding as well. A great decent after what must have been a very tough ride up! Looking forward to the van video.
Brilliant video Ali. Really enjoyed it. Really want to get up there and do those trails. I do really like your commentaries, keeps it entertaining.
😮😱🍀🙏 lol camera angle great, gimbal sweet, audio alright (when the camera was on). Often TH-cam videos don't do an angle or steepness justice but today it looked scary. Awesome
SPECTACULAR !
The light at the beginning was absolutely stunning!
Cracking man, the video doesn't do justice to how steep the stuff you were riding down actually is, 💪
The camera is so smooth. I think the gimbal works well!
Great trails and riding. I would have to stop so many times going down something like that or just end up riding it like a kid on a balance bike lol
The bike at the top: "I'm looking forward to this descent, stop talking and LETS GO! My tyres are PUMPED!" ;-p
(2 minutes into descent): "Fuck that, I quit.....Ali didn't you hear what I just said?! Let go of my bars and get off me!"
ha ha ha
Cracking video mate. I've been looking at Ben Lawers to walk up in the last few weeks on google maps. But never didn't even cross my mind to take my bike. You're all f***ing mad! haha Brilliant vid, thanksStu
AWESOME VIDEO! Loved it 100% Thx 4 sharing! Warning: 1st foot dab at 10:40 ! "Danny MacAskill tire slide" at 12:32 The new challenge for you is to use all the trials skills dynamically (i.e. with lots of speed)... I am sure you could no-dab all the tech stuff without speed. Geee... 16:32 how did I guess you would take the left hand, high line up over the rock across the creek? A trials guy of course! Sorry to see you had so much trouble with your left hand/arms from all the pump and chunk. Good you didn't run out of light and energy. Video resolution quality was excellent!
Hell Yeah. Another great vid.
oh my days mate that was some absolutely sick riding and footage! i need to do this descent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wounded the go pro missed a bit, it looked steep. well played with the arm pump as well man, full on battled through it.
Amazing footage Ali!! Think I need to move to Scotland!
Wow.That was such a long line to me.You must have been all exhausted after that.Btw this view was incredible.I think it was worth the time you spent
Gimble worked really well, looks amazing. Definitely riding ben lawers sometime soon
Insane terrain. You are as good a MTBer as a Triails rider.
the view at 7:45 brings a tear to my eye!haha
Absolutely mad seeing my favourite TH-cam channels coming together lads!! Filmed lovely Ali. Stunning footage.
ok, that was insane but the views were so awesome!!
Another class video mate! 🤘🚵♂️
Great vid! Thanks Ali
Watched the Mctrail vid at the pump track the other day
awesome video.. what a ride!
Such an incredible run, stunningly beautiful! Hell of a workout haha
That is probably the most chunky, technical trail I’ve ever seen
Amazing!
Amazing footage ,👊
wow 9 p.m.?! that is wild! awesome ride man keep it up.
Awesome I love the vlogs where u go down mountains! (Snowdon next maybe?)
That is really pretty. Next time give us a slow 360 on the landscape. So strange to see treeless terrain at that low altitude.
The view is absolutely insane😊
Awesome video, gimbal worked so good makes me miss riding loads, keep it up ☺️
Wow! Amazing video!
hey dude! im only ten seconds into your decent and I love it! gimbles are where its at!
Wow the camera quality in this video is amazing 🔥
Ali, Great stuff! Living LARGE! I love it when I get to a trials rider (i.e. someone with REAL bike handling skill oneness) gets out on the trail to tackle some real big mountain riding! I am happy for you because you got to take a well deserved breath and immersion into all that mother nature has to offer you: beauty, flow, gravity, peril, and wholesomeness. Its sad that the National Park mentality always leaves trails that are built solely for hikers. All the steps take away the flow, but I am sure as old as that trail is, they probably didn't have mtb's when it was constructed. I guess respectfully fulfilling your cyclic mantra, "stick to the path" was the hardest part for you and the worst part for me in this video :-)
+1 for the gimble!!!
Pete is my favorite cartoon character.
Awesome video dude!
what an awesome group of mates. everybody check out mctrail riders channel he's cool. awesome vid Ali
Beautiful video as ever Ali! Can't believe how dusty it was up there, what a view 😳👍🏼 what tyres are you running? They can take a beating like! 😅
Wow.
Minter 👌
Brilliant video Ali! And it is pretty cool seeing some familiar faces (in McTrailRider & MTBWOD) in there. PS: Why don't you sound like a weegie? Nice name btw ;)
Ha! no worries! You're ours now :D :P
EDIT: Please keep the enduro ride videos coming... I love the trials stuff, but the all mountain and enduro is SWEET! PS: When is Drop'n Roll coming to Sweden? You guys should definitely come while this gorgeous weather lasts
Sick video, looks amazing! I'm coming to Scotland soon but unfortunately I won't have my bike😭😭😭😭😭
Excelent riding!Where is these trails, which part of Scottish Highland?THX👍👌
awesome scenery ali!!!! didn't film it either? you mean you didn't turn it on!
Ali, you looked quicker than the others on the lower high line, it looked like you rode it like a pump track.
Ali maybe you get arm pump because in trials you are so used to controlled braking? Or the trails are just incredibly long haha
Great video I passed you driving through Glasgow today
Ali Clarkson yeah saw all the branding over it looked you up and binged watched a load of videos 😀
3 years late but you guys 👍
Fuckin. Pristine. Mate. One of your best videos to date man.
This is mental
Most importantly, did you have fun yeah? Great video.
Question, do you stay near Harry Main?
Keep doing what you doing.
#trialsnotdead
How did you get up there?!
And great video AlI!
For your #100 video you should do a one hour trials session with the crew
Now you made me wanna ride enduro. Btw how wide are those bars Ali?
What you want is a 29er mate ;) roll over those square edge slabs with easeeee
I’m tired just by watching this 😱
How do you guys get up there? I haven't noticed an access road in the footage but that seems like it would be absolutely brutal to climb!
Awesome ride & riding. What gimbal do you have?
he called a skandi flick a flippin sweedish tickle again
Respect to you bunch of nut jobs lol love it
Ali, it's your channel and you can do whatever you please on it, but will you guys please post more Trials riding ( the reason I sub'd)??
Or am I the only one..?
Video on the camper?
Good job on your first kilometer. lol
so technical, wow i would have gashed myself to pieces and ended it in hostpital
besides.... awesome riding man. fu(
That looks like a great decent, but the climb looks like it would have been pretty tedious.
Paul Franklin the climb feels like you’ve cheated somehow, you are there before you know it. Trick is you climb up a different route than the descent. Will be putting up a video on it in a few days.
Bikes on the mountain?
What’s the score with the camper Ali?
Did you ride up? Or push
You know is not just steep, but f@#king steep when you can see it on the fisheye lens.😨
We've been up a hill
how did you get up there?..
Rode and/or walked up I guess. I'd have walked...
Now we know how and why the Scottish hills are being DESTROYED!!!???
I know right, damn walkers!
The worlds first and only surviving brain transplant donors!!!!
Just done this mountain today 1. How the fuccck did yous carry a bike all the way up? 2. How the fuck did u cycle from the top it’s steep as hell!!!!
Your boy needs to chill with the sliding the tire, not good for the trail.
Not that I'm the trail police or anything just a friendly fellow rider reminder 😎
