Best First Mountain For Mtb

[@Issac117]

I'm new to mountain biking videos, and this is the first one I've ever seen with someone filming themselves at the top of a mountain explaining the surrounding topography 360 degrees via a hovering drone!!! Was not expecting that! Cool video, thanks for sharing your experience!

[@McTrailRider]

Nice! Well, I’m not sure you’ll see anyone else doing that kind of drone shot in a mountain bike video. I’ve only just started doing it, and I’m super happy with the results so far.

[@gearaustralia8767]

New follower to this channel, yep…the drone work is awesome 🙌😎✌️

[@Flatlala]

​@@McTrailRidersuch a cool segment, awesome idea!

[@McTrailRider]

@@gearaustralia8767 thanks dude😊

[@MrChristaylor89]

@@McTrailRider yeah, I've always been impressed with your knowledge of the surrounding hills, but that way of presenting it really adds a lot of production value. I'm sure it will only get more polished, good work striving to improve the channel and content!

[@chemistninja]

Your drone commentary pointing out all the key points and the editing with zooms and how you pointing out everything was ace!!! As well as the cycling! Can’t beat it - hope HRH enjoys it as much.

[@McTrailRider]

Fantastic! Glad you liked it👍

[@Eastside-MTB]

Yea my dog follows me on my local trails. Just a toddle for her, even faster than me on the downhill sections.

[@rogereheadbyrne4790]

That Dog has real good stamina!!Fantastic Views Andrew!!Thankyou for another brilliant distraction! Those Drone shots were just WOW!!😊

[@McTrailRider]

Nemo was built to run 💨

[@darrylhausman-pk8cq]

That new drone was a sound investment , Andrew . The mountain top panorama was breathtaking . Excellent vid

[@McTrailRider]

It was a big risk to buy it, not knowing how good it would follow. Thankfully it’s working out well so far 👍

[@rubencaixeiro9762]

Best geography lesson I have attended. LOVED it! That background... WOW

[@McTrailRider]

Wow, thank you!

[@TheSamwhyte]

Loving the drone zooms from the top - Sean Batty will be crapping himself with your awesome arm work… you’ll be an STV weather girl in no time! 😂👌🏻

[@McTrailRider]

Just need to hear back from the plastic surgeon, and then it's all go!

[@Jfree68]

Drone shots in beginning were ridiculous! Thanks for the vid. That dog is a badass. Cheers

[@McTrailRider]

Nemo was killing it😜

[@denisesf5]

First mountain biking video...breathtaking!!! Thank you! Cheers from Canada ❤

[@McTrailRider]

First of many I hope 👍

[@denisesf5]

@@McTrailRider Absolutely! I've watched another one of your videos and I'm hooked! I mean, how can I NOT follow a friend of King Charles III !😉😁 *I know that you aren't into the Monarchy at all...but as a Royalist myself, I thought it was sweet how you appreciated KC3 as the charming old gent he is. 💜

[@robertsonjam]

Loved the perspective that the new drone provides which allows you give a really immersive guide to nearby mountains. The highlight of the video for me was the appearance of the Collie. Hope you do more with the McTrail Dug 😂

[@McTrailRider]

A great perspective I reckon 👍 Unfortunately, the Collie is now away back to Germany 😢

[@freckles2437]

The colours are so vibrant and beautiful, looked great fun on a lovely day. Jo Devon 🙂

[@McTrailRider]

Great to hear 👍

[@MTB_Trekker]

Great stuff Andrew, really great vid. Drone shots were breathtaking!

[@taffycymroukmtb9073]

🚴🚴 Great Stuff buddy 👍 Sure the Van going to look good when finished 👌

[@McTrailRider]

Hope so!

[@gusrallim]

what a cool drone shot

[@McTrailRider]

Cheers, I think it works well 👍

[@simirving]

Very cool video, especially the drone work at the top.

[@McTrailRider]

Cool, thanks!

[@TheBeautifulbeard]

Great vid as always man. The drone footage from the top was unreal. Looked straight out of a BBC documentary. Was half expecting Brian Cox to pop up and start talking about gas giants 😂

[@McTrailRider]

Haha, if I can get the king on the channel, I’m sure I can get Brian on 😜

[@kyled121]

Great vis Andy. The views are fantastic!

[@McTrailRider]

Thanks Kyle!

[@MovingTargetOne]

That was a nice thing with the drone, really gave a good perspective of the scenery.

[@McTrailRider]

Good to hear👍

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Wow.. drone footage mountain chat was next level. Very cool. And great geo knowledge of your beautiful country!

[@McTrailRider]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RicardoPetrazzi]

Is there ever a bad trip up there? No. it's all good....on my list for next trip. Excellent video as always Andrew. Gracias. I just did Beinn a' Bhùird (also good as starter if you can bear the long ride to get there! 😄) and Heartbreak ridge the other week.

[@McTrailRider]

Cheers Richard. Bhùird is definitely another good one, but a long way in as you say.

[@misterdroneboy8999]

Great seeing the drone footage again

[@McTrailRider]

Glad you think so 👍

[@Calvin_Wright]

Another cracking route, I need to get my self up there next year 😎🤙

[@McTrailRider]

You should!

[@Shooterthecat1]

Nice work with the drone panorama!

[@McTrailRider]

Thanks 👍

[@kisilvan]

Was just across the river in glen Feshie that day. One of my favourite plateaus. Really like how you've used the drone in the last 2 vids. Gives a great idea of the terrain

[@McTrailRider]

No way! Small world. The new drone comes into its own when up the top.

[@cb6866]

Thanks Andrew....uh, WOW ! the weatherman shot was amazing , and all the drone stuff was very cool . Great riding as usual , funny to hear others doing the " WTF's" in the boggy bits .

[@McTrailRider]

I’m pleased with those done shots 👌 Turns out bogs aren’t not enjoyed by Germans either 😜

[@toddberry4118]

just for the commentary on top !!! super video .

[@McTrailRider]

Much appreciated!

[@bazbroon]

That drone footage is amazing. Congrats on the 1.7 million views by the way 😮

[@McTrailRider]

Cheers dude! Would be nice if it was me they were all tuning in for though😜

[@Oddball-LSD]

Hey dude nice talking to you at thrive when you were going for food and thanks for the selfie. Nice van I have the same and converted it myself if you up for a blether over converting I can let yi see my van. Love watching your clips and completing some of your routes. Ride safe stay good. 👍👍👍

[@McTrailRider]

Nice to meet you mate! I've got plenty of offers of help on the van, but I appreciate you doing so too.

[@TheWestIsNext001]

New subs. You are some lucky guys in the world, you experienced meeting KC, but your mountain bike trails expertise are beyond amazing. #ExtremeSports 🤙🏻🤙🏼

[@McTrailRider]

Welcome aboard! Glad your enjoying since if my other videos too 👍

[@mtb_stefan]

Great to meet you and bike with you 🥳 I can confirm - superb first Munro for biking 👍 When you’re near the Black Forest give us a shout 🙂

[@McTrailRider]

I’ve one Stefan! Will give you a shout if I’m ever in the Black Forest 👍

[@Mugtree]

New drone shots are amazing ♥️. Was that really Ben Wyvis near Strathpeffer you could see 🤯. Ace looking rude too ♥️👍. Bang on my draft route for next year 😜

[@McTrailRider]

I believe it was Wyvis, not actually that far as the crow flies. This route is definitely worth your time!

[@Mugtree]

@@McTrailRider it’s bonkers how close things are as the crow flies. Route definitely in the list 👍. Again thank you

[@rhettetherington1351]

Superb as always. Drone panoramic footage was great. Hope the van build goes well 👍

awesome video Andrew, great drone work at the top and some nice riding coming down - those boggy sections though! looks like a great trail to try out, you guys sent it but the trail dog owned it mate! cheers

That boggy as hell bit leaving the bealach has just appeared recently, was like that still a week later (was up on the 5th Sept) but haven't seen it any other times in the last 4 years I've been going up...managed to get around it tho!

[@McTrailRider]

Yeah! It’s just come out of nowhere. You can see how fresh it is by the grass/moss still intact underneath the water. Mountains can be funny sometimes.

[@emtb-explorer]

Sgòr Gaòith definetely on my list of places to go, weather permitting with stunning views especially the ridge at the top worth the wait and what looks like a great ride back down. New drone seems to be doing the job nicely what did you go for? Enjoyed watching nice one Andy thanks for sharing cheers! 😁🤙

[@McTrailRider]

Cheers Gary. I went for the DJI Air 3, seems to have been a good move so far.

[@Zzyyxx22]

Plans for the van changed after the king video?! New plans involving a jacuzzi, podcasting suite and a home cinema no doubt!

[@McTrailRider]

Haha, no changes, but I’d be lying if I said that video didn’t help me out in some way.

[@gillardricky]

I saw you today in Ballater town Center didn’t know it was you till I saw your van door 😂

[@McTrailRider]

There are some imitations out there, but they’re not even half as rusty😜

[@PuffinPass]

I find it odd you can't say carrot. Looks like an awesome ride, that view at the top is amazing.

Hi Andrew. Yet another great video. Please can you tell me what drone you are using? Cheers Gary

It’s the dji air 3 Gary👍

[@simonwilson7460]

Fab video. What hip/waist pack do you use? I fancy moving from a backpack to a waist-pack thingy.

[@McTrailRider]

It's a Kriega R8, It's for motorbiking, so I wouldn't recommend it. The Fox ones are really good imo.

[@simonwilson7460]

​@@McTrailRider Ah ok. I'll have a gander at the Fox and an USWE caught my eye too

[@weekendbikingwarrior360]

Oh Gosh... is this begining of the end of your Skydio? was this a DJI mini??

[@McTrailRider]

Hmm, not sure. The Skydio is still by far the best for racing me down the hill. Really I need to keep and use both every ride🤦🏼‍♂️

[@phillipbirchall7148]

Hi , another great video, what drone do you use, ive tried using my mavic air 2 when riding in the Lake District, but struggle with the controller

[@McTrailRider]

I’m using the new mavic air 3, it’s the best dji for active track so far. I’ve gotten very angry in the past with dji active track though.

@@McTrailRider what do you use for the controller, do you have a mount for it or use a smaller unit
