This MTB Trail Had Some Crazy Features! | Aboyne Enduro Trails, Scotland

- We rode the black graded enduro MTB trails at Aboyne and they were damn good! There were some sizeable jumps (and one mahoosive 23 footer hit by Gav!) along with loads of other rock features and slabs.
The first MTB trail in this vlog had tricky features and the second was steeper with some technical off camber sections. We were lucky to be riding these trails in dry conditions but in the wet these would be a different beast! Lots of roots, rocks and slabs as with much of the riding around Aberdeenshire. There is also the Aboyne Bike Park near the trails which we didn't check out but seems to be more trail centre with tabletop jumps etc.
In general there is loads of riding in this whole region from trail riding to enduro riding to more full on DH type features. Plenty that can easily be ridden on a hardtail too although I find it more comfortable on the full sus!
Trails we rode in this vlog are:
Panic Button
Rattus Norvegicus
Brown Rat
We also rode Emasculation and Master Blaster (will probably put up a separate vlog on these). Emasculation (another black) was fast with less big features and Master Blaster is a red with more undulating sections and a bit more pedally in places. We parked up in the town and of course hit up the cafe after!
Riding here followed on from a day at Scolty Hill which is like a mini Canada in Scotland. A pretty gnarly set of trails and we have a separate vlog from there which is worth checking out as it's such a unique place! Link to the video here: • Scolty | Gnarly Squami...
There's a local Aberdeenshire Enduro Series with 3 rounds running each year across a few places like this. Hope you enjoyed this vlog and subscribe if you want to see more vids like it. We put out weekly content mostly with enduro riding and trails around Scotland and the rest of the UK.

Aboyne is good for starting, my favourite place for jumps🚵♂️👍🏻
it's a great place. First trip for us and won't be the last for sure!
Catching up on some of your old vids! Don't know how I missed this one. Really enjoyed it guys. That place must be a handful in the wet!
Aw I’m reminiscing now, it was such a fun ride this one! Still can’t believe Gav hit that mahoosive jump. Thanks glad you enjoyed it! Had a bit of everything this ride 😁
@@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB ha ha. Yeah, that gap was big. You and your bro have some courage for sure!
I always look forward to your rides. You put so much of your great character into them!
Thank you! That’s so nice to hear. We love sharing the fun we have on the bikes! Glad you enjoy the vids 🙌
More fantastic riding guys cheers Laura n Tam n Great jump Gav 👋👋 fantastic few trail's there x
Thanks! Yeah Gav did amazing on that jump, it was a big one! Very cool place!
Great video as always, love watching your riding videos ☺
Thanks! 😁 It’s been good checking out and filming lots of different places this summer!
“I taught he’s dead, I taught he’s dead!” Awesome!!! 😅
🤣 hahaha the adrenaline was high even for us just watching 😆
Scolty going up on mountain bikes I bow at your majesty/madness haha it's a scramble on foot, live the Channel just found it 👌
Haha it can be tricky for sure! Plenty adrenaline 😂. Thanks! Great to hear 🙌👍
Very cool trails!
Really cool place isn’t it! First trip didn’t disappoint!
Looks like a cracking place to do some riding. You have some real technical sections on your trails up there in Scotland. Must be so easy when you ride elsewhere 😂
Yeah first time there and it was really good. Haha we definitely don’t have much flow, it’s all steep rooty tech usually 😂 so many newer places all over too which is nice!
Awesome riding!
Thanks!
How on earth did he make that jump, so damn lucky as could have been a big disaster. These rides keeps getting better and better, I must make it up to Scotland next year, hopefully I'll be better then 🤞. Thanks for keeping me scared & entertained in equal measures, Laura & Wee Tam.
Yeah speed wise he was fine but the lip had a fair kick to it. He did well holding it! Loads of amazing riding spots up here. Tweed valley is a great hub for exploring and the stuff up this way is amazing too. Definitely no shortage of good stuff. Haha you’re welcome 😉 glad you’re enjoying the vids! 👍
Did you do heartbreak ridge as you were up that part of the country?
Have done it before - it’s a good one! Think mastermind was our favourite tho. Loved that track!
Loved the video, what are those little packs you have, could I get a link possibly?
Thanks! They are Dakine Hot Laps 5l packs :) we have the model from a couple of years ago so they may have newer but similar ones
@@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB that's so strange! I was looking today at hip packs and that's the exact one that took my fancy, thank you very much :)
No problem! I can recommend them :) comfortable and hold lots!
Glad i wasnt the only one that got caught out on the broken wall section...
Aw it came outta nowhere 🤣 such a random one!
@@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB we watched a bloody video n new it was coming and still FAILED!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Lovin' the terrain in this one...PS. What's Gavin's steed? A Mega 290 or 275 Alloy Pro....?
It’s a cool place isn’t it! Very different again to lots of other riding spots around it. He’s got a mega 275 alloy. He bought the frame and swapped his parts onto it
Trails look great fun, but how did he clear that long jump: wow!
They were good, so different again to lots of others nearby. I know, it was massive and turned out to have a decent kick to it haha he did well holding it! Measured it in at roughy 23 feet!
