- Welcome to the famous Glentress 7 Stanes MTB trail centre. Home of the beginners Blue Route, The fun Red Route and the lengthy XC Glentress Black Route.
As well as the graded mountain bike trails there are also a vast array of off-piste enduro trails, including Hush Hush, Trailfairy Plan and Dave's Trail.
In this MTB vlog I share with you and enduro route that would be a good transition for those thinking about moving from purely graded trails to something with a bit more challenge. The route that I have shared is not dissimilar to a Tweedlove Vallelujah route and gives a bit of a flavour of the physical challenge involved.
To help you find the route I have included a link to the Strava activity at: / strava
This mountain biking MTB / enduro POV video was shot on Sunday the 30th of August at Glentress. 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 is completed using Filmora Wondershare 9.5.

Excellent riding. Have done a couple of those trails but didn’t realise there were this many others as good. I’ll have to check them out 😜
Thanks mate. Yeah, GT is pretty underrated for the off piste. To be fair it does have a lot of competition in the Tweed Valley!
Some amazing trail riding, always ace watching yourself and other local mtbers float through the trails without hesitation, you're taking it easy is scary speed for me 😂, well done great to see people shredding Glentress and thanks for sharing!
Thank you mate. The local advantage is always real! Trust that I am often humbled outside the Tweed Valley! Thanks for taking time to comment 🤙
Absolutely FANTASTIC video yet again. Watch you now more than I do Netflix...
Ha ha! Cheers mate. That is really kind of you and I appreciate you passing it on. Hopefully the subs will continue to increase and others will enjoy the content also 👍
Another nice vid. R u getting faster?? Looks like it from where I am sitting 👍👍
Ha ha. Thanks mate. I think I'm making some small gains but gains nonetheless. I defo feel my cornering is improving. Lots still to learn though!
Bloomin ekkk mate.. The glare from your bonce is blinding.. 😂.. That's a lot of Yo's.. Nice video
I use Autoglym 👍👌
@@streetpigeonmtb I hear the Muc off Silicon Shine is good too
It's ok. I found it a bit streaky 😜
Would love to see a long term honest review of your bird am9 as I’m debating getting one. It’s between that and a commencal meta
I keep meaning to do one mate. Im crazy busy right now but I will defo do one ifnI can fit it in 👍
Nice! I did a lot of those trails on the Transcend Epic last year. Really missed not being able to get back up there this year though
Thanks. I know, it's been tough this year. I had 3 races and a few adventures planned. Unfortunately they were all binned... Next year maybe 🙏
Rapid dude 🤙 Making those trails look easy!
Thanks bud. Thats called the home-trail advantage 😜🤙
Jamie, great edit ace👊Good trail selection by you guys👍
Thanks Kevin 🤙
Superb Trails Jamie and great riding. 🤜
Thanks Mark. We are truly spoiled for choice in the Tweed Valley. Stay safe mate 👍
Great edit mate, Ponduro still gives me the fear but you were flying down.
Yeah. It's a slippery wee trail. One of those ones that gets easier the quicker you hit it as you are spending less time on the slippy roots. Still scares me for sure!
I mean, I think that's fair to be freaked out. Especially after it injured you! Hope the wrist mended up well 👌
Fantastic video, really good idea. Look forward to duplicating it at some point 🙌🏻
You'd love it mate. If you need a guide just give me a shout 👍
@@streetpigeonmtb That would be awesome. Might have to take you up on that!
Anytime bud. Just get in touch 👍
Did Daves trail and happy ending myself on Sunday, the log jump on Davis trail is a lot bigger tay the videos make it look and that happy ending was a first for me and also the steepness doesn't come out o the videos!! Cracking content as always 👌.
Thanks. Yeah, Happy Ending looks so flat on camera. It gives you a bit of a fright when you first ride it eh? Thanks for taking time to comment. Always appreciated 👍
Its the sharpness of the bends that catches you out. Did Trail fairy plan also , now one of my favourite trails up gt.
Is it still as rutted out up there? I haven't ridden it in ages!
Yes to the point where your pedals are wall to wall down the trail .
Quality video there again. Looked like some super fast trails too. Think I might have done a couple of the trail centre ones but probably about half your speed!
Ha ha. Thanks mate. In fairness I've ridden those trails probably hundreds of times. Easy to press the pace when you know them well! Thanks for taking time to comment. Always appreciated!
Street Pigeon MTB having trails like those on your doorstep to be ale to ride 100s of times is enough to make any MTBer jealous 😃. I need to get back down to GT again soon and give some of them another go. Keep up the good work.
Do you mind if I ask what mud guard you use and if it’s good at keeping mud off your lens?
Not at all. I use a mudhugger. It's pretty awesome at keeping mud off the lens, however it is by no means bullet proof. I haven't found anything yet that is completely perfect 👍
Street Pigeon MTB great thanks. I’ve just a wee enduro guard and often get splodges on the lens so hoping to keep riding and filming into the bleak winter 🤣😊
looked a tough day and a great one !!!
Yeah. It's a good route. I need to get my fitness up a bit!
Happy endings is pretty steep
Definitely 🤙
Nice! Subbed😉
Thank you! I always appreciate a new subscriber 👍🤙
Nice edit and some awesome trails! Whose music are you using? Some really nice tunes.
Hi there. It's all music from Epidemic Sounds. I cant quite remember the artist. Would you like me to find out for you?
Thank you! I would really appreciate that!
Let me have a quick look...
The artist is Matt Large and 👍
Awesome vid Jamie. Really liked the whole route. Your riding so much quicker these days.
I’ve ridden a lot off those lines and you were flying on them. Ponduro is no joke.
Keep up the great work brother and Ride Safe. 🤙🏴
Thanks so much pal. Great to have feedback like that for sure. My riding does seem to be getting there, slowly but surely! Stay safe mate 👍
@@streetpigeonmtb your definetly faster from when l started watching your channel. Thats what its all about dude. Progression, no matter how fast it is. Take it easy mate.
Thank you 🤙

Thanks. Yeah, it's always nice to see your home trails on camera 👍
