This is my local park, it's great. Nice mix of trails. Got to say, popty ping is my fave. I know it's a blue but it so much fun.

[@np939427a]

Chamonix France would be a good start, Once that chairlift doors open you have a 10,000 ft drop down to the valley on the north side and further down the valley at les gets you have a world cup course to play around with, Word of warning" Take plenty of spares with you because you will spend all day trying to get a metric nut or bolt for your bike, They also have fully kitted out workshops to hand and transport from Geneva to Chamonix for £30 a pop, Some local runs a small private bus service to help bikers out, I am sure you could find him online...

[@McTrailRider]

Good suggestions, but you’re over two years late😬 I’ve been and gone twice now. Was going to go to that area this summer, but didn’t seem to be a good time to do it.

[@garymartin557]

wow, the content you have put in to this vlog deserves all the superlatives going, brilliant to watch, must have been even better to get the footage. many thanks for posting this.

[@RobbisTV]

Awesome ride! That AC/DC track looks super sick too! With the fast and flowy sections, and natural raw technical bits here and there in between. Looks like an absolute blast! Cheers from Toronto, Canada \m/

[@SHREDD-ED]

Keep them coming! Tew bike sounds fantastic! The Park looks like soo much fun!

[@embshorts2621]

The little trail from cafe to uplift is great as well 👍 Good video, and good seeing you down this neck of woods. One request though if I could, you have to give revs a try on way back to Scotland, you will love it and brick it haha

I love watching videos of places I ride all the time, always interesting to see what lines people take and even some trails splits I've never done!

Hey man! I’m enjoying the all the content you put out! I’m a new rider, been riding for the last 2 weeks and I’m still learning gears and how to and when to brake on the trails.

Just a request. Keep up the vids!

[@prettyjohnshill76]

welcome to God's country wee man, I hope you enjoyed the southern half of it. if you're visiting North Wales on your way back, make sure you check out either Llandegla, Penmachno or the Marin trail. I see people on here recommending revs, however revs is a full on downhill centre, and considering you jibbed the black trails at bpw you might get a bit of a shock when you get there. I personally love revs and Antur Stiniog in the dry, but I'd give 'em both a miss in the wet.

Oh Faaaaaaaaack! I would've ridden with you dude! That's BKXC and you that have turned up there. There's also a short-cut to the top too, sod riding the Beast of Burden!

Hi Andy another brilliant vid and place, just need some advice what hope brakes do you have because I’m debating between the hope e4 or wether to spend a little extra on the v4 with 203 rotor up front and 180 on rear would be much appreciated

[@piersgritten2586]

I have hope e4 with 203 both ends and they are more than powerful enough for trail riding. They coped really well last weekend riding the world cup track in fort william and work well on my usual rides around innerleithen. go for the metallic hoses though, the plastic ones aren't particularly durable.

[@hamishross8635]

Piers Gritten thanks for that, I’m planning doing the full Scottish enduro series next year and needed new brakes and was just wondering for the price difference is it worth it but thanks for the advice
