Basque MTB - High Pyrenees Day 5

[@ckMTB]

What a day, it contains trails for a whole week, great sections and super trails. Super edited buddy and great shots. Thanks for sharing and ride on

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks Christoph. Ainsa is a great location. So many trails!

[@basqueMTB]

Another cracking video, thanks! That drop is nothing but if you don't know it is there it is easy to send it too deep and end up in the trees. I'm disappointed you didn't GoPro the 100´s of beers we drank on the terrace that evening :-)

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks Doug. It must be interesting to see what everyone else is up to when you're not following them. Especially that Dangerous Dave character 😂. I might have had video of all the drinks that evening if I hadn't been in the middle of a gincident!

[@basqueMTB]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland Yeah, you´d be surprised what we spot... there were a few chats about risk / reward that week! The G&T´s were going down fast when I finally went up to the room for my shower.

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thankfully, we managed to stay on the reward side of the equation 😜

[@basqueMTB]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland Mostly!

[@TrailSurfer]

What a great looking trail mate, some techy sections and flow. Can’t ask for better than that. Great video.

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks dude. I love those natural trails that flow despite all rough stuff - there’s nothing better.

[@rossbarbour8844]

Another top class video Darren, you really appreciate how unreal the trails we rode when you look back over the videos!!

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Cheers Ross. It was really nice to be able to tuck in behind you and get some more follow cam footage. Editing the videos takes me back every time. I’m already getting itchy feet for next season.

[@uphillphill4988]

WoW WoW WoW!!! 😛. This looks absolutely EPIC🤘🤘👊🤩. Cracking video buddy 👊

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks Phill. Editing the video reminded me what a great time we had. It was such a wonderful group of people and the riding was world class. Such a pity that the next video will be the last in the series.

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

These last two videos have been the best for trails! You defo had that drop in your bag as well, next time hopefully 👍🏼 Great video mate, looks amazing there!

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks mate. Getting some good follow cam action makes a massive difference. Seeing the other rider really helps to show the terrain better.

[@earlbrutus1975]

Brilliant footage and narrative…….definitely need to ride Ainsa one more time…..Long live dangerous Dave!

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thank you sir. Dave was certainly great value for money on that day!

[@DMMTB]

Fantastic trails and beautiful scenery

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Cheers Dave. Glad you enjoyed it. When 4 uplifts completely fill the day, you know you've down some long descents!

[@Stopadoodledoo]

Fantastic mate. Great video, incredible trails, each one tempts me more and more 👍

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Challenge accepted! I have just one more video to finally convince you to go yourself and see how amazing it is!

[@ScoutsOut]

Epic day of riding 💪

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

You can say that again. When are we going to see you out and about on your MTB again?

[@TrailHuntingMTBeer]

Awesome video again Buddy 👊. I remember that uplift well, to this day, I’m amazed it got up there, in fact, at one point we had to get out & push the van when it lost traction around the tight left hand hairpin 🤣. Few of those trails have been used as EWS race stages in the past I believe 👊

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks man. It was a cracking day out on the bikes. Some of those trails are very high speed - especially when riding them blind!

[@paterjo8561]

Thanks for sharing, great video. You brought up great memories from when I rode with BasqueMTB on their backcountry Pyrenees holiday but I did not ride as fast and well as you guys.

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks for watching. The guys at BasqueMTB sure know how to put on a good holiday!

[@DizRidesMtb]

Awesome dude great Ridin 👊

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks man 👍

[@AemJaY]

the part around 5:40 looks so damn fun. great video again! 👌

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks dude. That section in the badlands was absolutely mint.

[@AemJaY]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland btw sent you a email on your contact mail. just so you know if you dont check that mails often :P

[@gabrielamadeus]

So fun to relive each day! Thanks for filming, these all turned out great. (Even if you're scaring my mom a bit.)

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks Gabe. School boy error showing your mum the videos 🤣

[@bsurber1]

your videos are extremely awesome ... and your skills are really good ... top video

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thank you so much 😀 It's always nice to hear when people appreciate the videos.

[@gavindean]

Amazing I have to get there one day

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

You would love it. Might have to get a bio bike though!

[@rosthouse]

Awesome video man, can't wait to get on the trails again (but enjoying the snow while it lasts ;) ) Just a small thing: Maybe get a wind guard for your gopro (or a small external mic with one), this should reduce the wind noise (especially loud in the intro).

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thank you. I have dead cats over the microphones, but they were on their last legs, which is why the wind noise was particularly loud in the intro when the wind was blowing really hard.

[@Bessunger]

Stunning rides. A dream terrain. What bike do you use? And which tire pressure?

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

I’m riding a Santa Cruz Megatower. Slightly higher tyre pressures than usual because of the very rocky terrain. Normally I run 20 psi up front with 24 in the back and Cushcore inserts in both tyres.

[@ridewithpeter9940]

Hi Mate, Great video. I'm in that area in early September. Do you know what the trail name is in your video from 5:40?

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thank you. Unfortunately, I was just in follow mode and didn’t pay much attention to trail names. You’re sure to enjoy your trip though - the riding really is second to none!

[@gethappycyclingcampingoutdoors]

Excellent riding and video ☮️☯️ Do you fly or drive to these locations?

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thank you 🙏 The Spain trip was my first one on the channel that I flew to. All the others have been by car. I guess that's the beauty of living in the middle of Europe 😜

[@gethappycyclingcampingoutdoors]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland Thanks for the reply, so you don't live in the UK?

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

@@gethappycyclingcampingoutdoors No, I live in Switzerland.

[@gethappycyclingcampingoutdoors]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland lucky you 😀, thanks again for the videos.

[@NicoCkling]

Niceee !!!

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks for the appreciation and support 🤘

[@NicoCkling]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland u welcome 😉😉

[@TrailTales]

Just WOW!!! Epic set of trails that Darren... Just banger after banger!!! :D

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Thanks dude. Ainsa is most definitely all killer, no filler!

[@JayRidesTrails]

Man it looks so epic down there. Question: did you drive all the way and bring your own bike? Or did you rent from BasqueMTB?

[@JayRidesTrails]

btw amazing pace too! also, I never stop to look at something that I missed and try to ride it either, for some reason... and I regret it later... haha

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Epic is the right word! I flew with my bike this time, but have driven before. You can also rent a good bike from Basque MTB for the week.

[@JayRidesTrails]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland OK, good to know with the rental. Thanks!

[@MTBScotland]

wish it was that dry in Scotland at the moment :(

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Trust me. You’re not the only one yearning for dry trails. My home trails are covered in snow at the moment!

[@herwanvttcr1843]

Hey, any chance you have the number of the trail or better a gpx file on this one?

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Sorry, no GPS available.

[@herwanvttcr1843]

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland I saw it after on the video...do you remenber the number os the trail.. ZZ10 maybe? if no, no matter

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

@@herwanvttcr1843 I was in full holiday mode and was just following the route our guides pointed out and didn’t pay any attention to trail numbers I’m afraid.
