Glencoe Scotland. The Black Trail terrifies me!

Glencoe is a mountain bike park in the highlands of Scotland. It has a Red and a Black trail. I have done the black once before but really struggled to ride it. Will I find it any easier 5 years later.
Todays bike is a Bird Enduro bike hired from Glencoe resort.

I bet it was good to meet that Scouser as well. You both had fun. Another good video, Lance. 👌

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Suddenly I felt happy and confident again. Mountain biking for me is about having fun with others.

[@pedalstrkrmtb7716]

Johns hooting and hollering perfectly symbolizes how mountain biking makes me feel...WOOHOO!!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

That is how we should ride the trails. Yea boi all the way.😊

[@mickfromrocky]

Excellent watching . Totally enjoying these Scottish trails and as usual your commentary was fantastic . Your new mate is a legend 🤘

[@bestdayevermtb2]

He is a legend. He wants to come to NZ and ride with Dad's Army.

[@mickfromrocky]

@@bestdayevermtb2 lance please film this if he goes to NZ . Imagine the vibe with you and the army ? Please Johnny boy , hop on a plain and make it happen. What a guy 🫶

[@niseach]

Love Glencoe. The changes to the Red trail look fantastic. In winter, when the snow reaches the car park, there's a good ski line down the black trail. On the other side of the waterfall, the skiing there is really steep - an off-piste trail known as the Dark Side.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Never been in winter. I imagine it would be gnarly skiing down there.

[@jeanmarc_in_Hudson]

That never-ending steep chunky rocks black trail definitely above my pay grade, Yikes! Beautiful video again so nice to watch. John’s enthusiasm is contagious… 👍

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I think I caught some of that enthusiasm quite quickly. 😊

[@BigMal76]

Scottish Zac bringing the fizz! John needs to come to Nz for a best day tour!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I have made him that offer.

[@govermentsoundsystem]

Excellent Lance, you had me laughing 🤣, but you don't give yourself enough credit, that's fair play bro 👍🏾

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks very much. I watched Lewis Buchanan's video of this track. He was a wee bit quicker than me.😂

[@jeremyharris4415]

Awesome video Lance really enjoyed it. Far out that first track far out that was very loose I thought far hopefully how Lance is going to be in a Hospital visit if these gets any worse. Then finally the tracks got better and very impressive to see you found someone to do some riding with he definitely made the video 😅. Keep up the amazing content Lance 😊

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Yes John made the video and made my day. I enjoy riding with others much more than on my own. Would have loved to have followed someone down that Black. Probably wouldn't have stopped at all just followed the lines.

[@MattCullen-vanti]

Haha all i can say is just wow. That looked hectic as.😁👌

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I think hectic describes my riding style well.😂

[@MattCullen-vanti]

@@bestdayevermtb2 😁😁😁 nice 1.👌

[@brianbathgate4944]

Awesome! Good work man. Red's enough for me :)

[@bestdayevermtb2]

That red is not easy either.

[@TheScramble8]

That black looked sketchy. Even the red looked challenging. Great content as usual

[@bestdayevermtb2]

The red is still quite a challenging track. Glencoe is certainly no place for a beginner.

[@Megalodon2949]

Hey Lance, if that's your name. I'm a rider from New Zealand and I love riding in Rotorua. I'm a big fan of your channel

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Yes Lance is my name. Glad you like thew channel. I am sure we will bump into each other at some stage.

[@rosbeck9260]

That was so cool

[@jonnyseller]

Great video Lawrence.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks. It is Lance but close enough😀

[@geoffgoldplum1231]

Yes Johnny boy, woooooo!

[@N1ALL85]

The black is brutal. It’s just a hack down…even on a dh bike. Fair play on a trail bike. The red was nicely groomed a few weeks ago but got pretty washed out recently in a race…great track now though!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

When I watch the footage back it always looks so tame and I can't work out why I was so scared, The good thing about these tracks is they have a reputation so people know they are hard.

[@N1ALL85]

@@bestdayevermtb2 The black is brutal mate. Think you’re the first to have ridden it in a while! Great vid pal!

[@lemonadejars]

Looks like a grade 3 flow trail where I’m from Johnny boy put a smile on my face, always nice riding with someone full of hype!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

He certainly added the hype. Made my day.😊

[@stevemendelson4711]

Love this Video and Johnny Boys is awesome!!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I agree Johnny boy was a breath of fresh air.😊

[@kristanoakley7626]

Been waiting for this one!! You’re not wrong about this being the stupid-est bike park track on the planet. It’s like they scraped some soil off the steepest mountainside they could find and declared it a DH track. 😱😆

[@bestdayevermtb2]

That is a good description. Good for your skills, though. Never had a second run as met John but think would be a lot quicker after the first sighter.

[@HPdot-eo3vx]

You should upload a new whistler video💡(btw trails there look sick)

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Would love to go to Whistler again one day.

[@ToddNZMTB]

07:00 your humble pie is ready 🥧😄

[@ToddNZMTB]

Also that song at about 19:00 had a very Led Zeppelin sounding riff to it

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I like all types of pies😃

[@thefathippy]

I'd have had marks on the inside and outside of my pants 😱

[@seniorsone5066]

Are you sure those marks on your trousers are from the “rear wheel” 🧐. I love me a bit of tech but that looked hectic 😅

[@bestdayevermtb2]

You would have cruised it. Still need to get Anxiety done. That drop at the start still scares me.

[@seniorsone5066]

@@bestdayevermtb2 that drop scares you, me and 99% of the sane population 😬. Looking forward to filming you doing it though 👍

[@R55LSD]

Blacks not easy but it used to be a lot worse before they reworked it.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

When did they rework it? I rode it in 2019 and I would say not one rock was different.

[@MivecGPX]

Was Johnny Boy a blue or a red? Either way, love the spirit of a good scouser 😎

[@bestdayevermtb2]

He was great fun and full of energy.

[@Giant_lover]

Hey Lance, will you and the crew be riding at woodhill mtb park for the last time out the back there.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

We are all riding tomorrow. 😀

[@ddsgardening7437]

Jonny boy best rider to join you on the Euro Tour

[@bestdayevermtb2]

We still communicate via whats-app. I am sure he will make it to NZ one day.

[@drTeddyJo]

Did that used to be a walking trail

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I don't know, could have been. There is a walking track right next to it.

[@doctorpc4x4]

All those wooden walls with your name on them and you didn't hit one of them. Looking at the distance between the lift pylons and you see the base is higer than the one below you can see its steep. Whos this Heather in Scotland that you love?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Unusual lass with purple hair. I quite like her though.

[@markcosens1]

Both the fort William and that bike hook look terrible, they really should invest in some better ones similar to the french. As a uk resident i feel quite ashamed ive never ridden here whereas you have come half way around the world.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I worked out that I went on 37 different bike lifts on my trip and the two worst ones were sadly both in Scotland. If the Gondola was the same as the Super Morzine set up I probably could have ridden all day. Great tracks to ride though. Definitely worth the drive.

[@kristanoakley7626]

Both resorts seem to be trying with limited revenues from a few hit n miss ski seasons. Awesome tracks at both but FW in particular needs to sort its ‘close the gondola in the slightest breeze’ policy.

[@lindsayweirdwild]

Lol

Stop beeping out the funny bits!😅
