Best man made in Scotland IMO. Enjoyed same route few weeks ago on my scale.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah, it's got a great feel to it. Need to get back up there 👍

[@DrFaroon]

Always worth a trip, an the Black is a great trail too. The explosion in new trails, particularly blue runs, in Scotland is exactly what the sport needs - welcoming trails for the improving rider, and families. The jump from Glentress Blue Trails to Off-Piste Blacks has always been massive - even the Laggan Reds are a challenge to many people. Getting more Blue trails built up is such a win. Those new Cairngorm trails look to be perfect for the novice rider.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Agree with you completely mate. It feels like everything is heading in the right direction in 2023 🤙

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Those trails look amazing mate. Great video as always 👍If you like a bit of fast chunky rock, I have the perfect trail to show you in July 😉

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Oooh! Very interested. July is going to be bloody brilliant 👏

[@rhettetherington1351]

Great video. Looks an awesome place. Maybe I'll make it up thst far one day👍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers bud. I hope you make it!

[@markyp1965]

Absolutely love Laggan and particularly the Upper Red, which is my favourite red trail in the UK. For someone whose local trails are the loam, roots and mud of the FOD, the trails at Laggan, with the rock and shale, is a totally different riding experience. A fun, technical challenge on the way up and a fast, flowy descent, which has enough technicality about it, to make you keep your wits about you. Not forgetting of course, the big rock slab, Airs Rock, on the Lower red. Can wait to visit again when I go up in August.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I agree. As a trail centre it's pretty unique and really does have something a bit different to offer. I can't wait to see what they do with the new flow trails at the end of this year. Such a good place. Thanks for taking time to comment 👍

[@ChunkyDawz1]

I love Laggan, with Upper Red being my favourite trail centre run in the country. Unfortunately, about this time last year, I had a massive off on the lower jump line. Nothing broken but bruised parts of me I didn’t think were possible to bruise 😅. Sadly, since then I’ve seemed to have lost a bit of my biking mojo although watching your vid makes me want to get back up there. Thanks for posting and great video as always Mr Pigeon!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Ah no mate. That sounds rough! Hope you get the mojo back 🤙

[@marmart8101]

Seeing those rocks so smooth and slippery makes my pulse race. Where I live it is very dry all year round. I want to visit Scotland soon, it's quite a challenge. I must add that there is much more merit in riding in these conditions. I enjoyed the video as if I was there! 🤗

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Aw mate. Thank you so much for the comment. Love your positivity and energy. The world needs more people with your attitude ❤️🤙👌

[@garyalexander3281]

Visited Laggan for the first time last year, only had time for red jump line which was ace, will get back for others maybe CRC may have built some new trails as well, ace footage thanks for sharing 😁

[@streetpigeonmtb]

No bother buddy! Always happy to share 😁

[@squiremtb]

Great video as always bud 👌

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Appreciate that buddy 🙏

[@smv9338]

Great video - Laggan was always on my 'to do list', looks like a cool place.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers mate. Keep it on the to do list and get yourself there 🤙

[@thefoolonthhill]

Cracking video. My favourite place of the past. Few years since I've been and now I'm itchin to get back after seeing this. Never been across the road yet, but must do that too. Just so much fun to be had at the centre. You've got more style than me over the jumps with your classic bar turn manouvre 😁. I get air but don't do anything with it 🤔🤣. Great vid, always a highlight seeing your travels.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thank you. You are too kind buddy! Yeah, I love a turn bar. Trying really hard this year to progress in that department. It's hard to do though! Cheers for taking time to comment 👍

[@MTBScotland]

A 99 year old could ride those trails.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

🤣 Love it Ross!

[@MTBScotland]

@@streetpigeonmtb thought you'd appreciate that one

[@streetpigeonmtb]

🤣👍

[@tobyisbister331]

Love Laggan, nice vid 👍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers bud 👍

[@MacRaceyMTB]

Wow! What a video, the editing is phenomenal and your jumping skills are seriously coming on Jamie, fair play dude! Laggan is such a good place to ride, haven't been in ages, definitely got me stoked for it! I don't want to be "that guy" but is the jump line not an orange? 🙈

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Archie. Yeah, I've been working hard on my riding and editing so it's good to know that folks are noticing it. Regarding the names, the 'red' jump line did used to be the 'orange'. However, Forestry are getting rid of all their orange lines and renaming them red. It's a bit confusing as I'm pretty sure some of the signs still say orange 🤣

[@georgemacdonald6805]

Nice vid again. Looks like a cracking three days. Q. Is Ayers Rock still an option for lower red - been a while since I was at Laggan, which in my opinion is one of the best centres there are.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hey buddy. It was such a good 3 days. Deffo one of my favourite trail centres. And yup, Ayers Rock is still accessible 👌

[@alanmorton8459]

Great fun vid Jamie, looks like u all enjoyed it despite the weather. Did u get taken over to the brown side???

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hey Alan. I still haven't ridden Laggan Brown mate. Can you believe it? Hoping to get something sorted this year 🤞

[@alanmorton8459]

@@streetpigeonmtb Got to get to the brown side, happy to show you round but I am sure Clark will keep you right.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers Alan 👌

[@MTB_Trekker]

This place looks awesome, Scotland doesn't half produce eh Jamie!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Aw mate. It doesn't half... Wait until you see the next few videos. I have some crazy videos coming for you guys. Just need to find time to edit them!

[@MTB_Trekker]

@streetpigeonmtb sweet.. looking forward to them pal. Just over a week and I'll be sampling Scotland myself mate.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Fantastic! Where you riding?

[@MTB_Trekker]

@streetpigeonmtb get up to Innerleithen on 8th so will have a mooch up the Golfie to see what's what. Uplift on 9th and Golfie on 10th. Can't wait! If you're about be good to say hi mate.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nae idea what I'll be doing but DM me and ill see if I'm about 👍

[@pungarehu]

Nope. I’d say balblair near Bonar bridge is waaaay rockier. Still good fun on Laggan tho

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yup. And I titled this before I rode the red at Glencoe 🙈🙈🙈

[@pungarehu]

@@streetpigeonmtb oh! I’d forgotten that one

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@pungarehu yeah. It's a total beast!
