  • Welcome to Comrie Croft Trail Centre. These Scottish MTB trails are pretty unique compared to most Scottish trail centre trails. The ascent is pretty easy and all the trails at Comrie Croft are in a really compact area. The trails themselves have some nice wee features and lots of rock to practice on. Just beware, the rock is really slippy in the wet!
    To help you find the trails we rode, please check my Strava ride link at: / strava
    This mountain biking MTB / enduro POV video was shot on Sunday 25th October at Comrie Croft. The video was shot on a GoPro Hero 7 mounted on the chin of a Fox Proframe helmet using a Gnartec mount.
    All video editing was completed using Filmora Wondershare X

    Your content is refreshing with your honesty on fears, tech ability and comments. It didn’t look pedestrian as you said. Anyone who rides a lot knows water, leaves, wood or mossy rocks can end a ride pretty quick. I can’t wait to come to Scotland and ride. Cheers mate.

    Comrie Croft is pretty much where I learned to ride a bike. It’s got it all with even the climbs having technical sections. The reds keep you busy but don’t underestimate the blue trail either cos it leaves you grinning if you don’t get traffic. Another good video 👍👍

    • @streetpigeonmtb

      Defo. I think ideally this would be a 100% effort on a trail bike. Flat out hour or so. A really good place to get your fitness up!

    Good to see a vid of comrie ,always a place i enjoy as its different to the normal stuff i ride .... shame natural gold wasnt open cracking trail,its has been closed for a while .you should try it in the dry ,,,,,as always with mtb ,its more enjoyable...lol ..if you want a real challange ....try a hard tail around it ....... hard on the back end ..feel like like your on a pogo stick lol ... least you made the double look easy,as that has a hard run in to get the speed. look forward to your next vid.

      Yeah mate. It's very different to a lot of trail centres. There is quite a lot of pedalling with no really sustained descents, however I love the techy aspect. Defo worth a visit to see what you make of it 👍
