I've watched a lot of mtb stuff on here but this is a very good bit of filming because there's no annoying music its about you folk going out together on a tough circuit the descending was excellent 👍

[@jimmycburfield5997]

Just to enhance viewer enjoyment…….that slope away off the summit is way steeper than it appears in the video. I live fairly close by and like to walk it; I am astounded and astonished by those who enjoy cycling up and down! I take my hat off! Dare devil stuff. It must be some buzz. Good for you!

[@knotanitter]

❤ scared just watching

[@david-pascoe]

The rocks as you ride off the summit really tinkle , it’s an unusual sound! I remember when we rode it. And Ullock Pike is a fantastic descent. 😁 And well ridden. ✊

[@GreatWhyteCreations]

Absolute Lakes classic. It’s changed a bit since I rode it in this video though. Seen a lot of traffic

[@fellrunner007]

We got a proper bollocking from an old walker coming down there last year, thought he was going to have a heart attack 😂🤣🤣

[@jimmycburfield5997]

I walk, I live in North Cumbria. I love to see people enjoying themselves and interacting with the mountains! There’s no need for bollocking! I love to see the Cyclists; it’s like Parkour; couldn’t do it myself but amazing seeing others.

Well surely Belinda Carlisle nailed it when she said "Heaven is a place on earth". She clearly meant when riding down Skiddaw with the sun setting and the stones chattering. Truly magical scenes.

[@GreatWhyteCreations]

🤣🤣🤣

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Awesome place , awesome riding think the kestrel was struggling to keep up 😉

[@cumbrianrider8903]

Sweet video 😃, love it at that time of the day! Mega effort riding Jenkin Hill 💪🏻, and nailing the descent too 👌

[@stevestowe1110]

Another awesome video !!!👍🏻👏🏻

[@rhettetherington1351]

Fantastic video and great riding.

[@darrenlowman3317]

That looked gnarly, glad you all made it down in one piece

[@katiewooster]

Incredible, what a view!!

[@GreatWhyteCreations]

[@TimFromWales]

Awesome ride and inspiring video... Been to the Lakes a few times but never up Skiddaw. And more importantly, how didn't i know about this KZbin channel!?.. Subbed..

[@GreatWhyteCreations]

Stoked you liked it! Thanks for the follow! There will be plenty more coming 👊🏼

[@LakesLee]

Funny that the subtitles before i clicked to watch called it Skiddah 🤣

[@adrianq4753]

If the ews was in Keswick they could do a shuttle to Helvellyn for stage 1 and 2 shuttle back, ride to Whinlatter for stage 3 and 4 and making Skiddaw the queen stage.

[@ianmoore3785]

First time I rode Skiddaw I checked the strava KOMs afterwards, some chap by the name of "Italian Stallion" was about 50% faster than everyone else on the segments. Wonder who that could have been :D

[@GreatWhyteCreations]

Hmmmm not sure 😏

[@mrthart2002]

Amazing video, 👏 Which route have you taken from keswick? Would love to give that a go

[@NukeProofBikes1]

That Giga .. as deadly Great White...

[@Muckle_toon_mtb]

That looked mint meg good effort. How long does it take to get to the top?

[@GreatWhyteCreations]

About an hour of pushing/riding. Depends on where you start from really.

[@shonaridley7170]

Brilliant run! How did you find the really steep slab near the top of the ridge? I've always bottled that section.

[@GreatWhyteCreations]

The one about half way down which is almost impossible to ride? I push down. I only know about 3 people who have ridden that and they are all pro-riders

[@shonaridley7170]

Yeah, thats the one, lol. Way above my pay grade.

[@guyd1974]

Wow that looks great, can we ask where you parked/ started from ? Is it easy to navigate the loop ?

[@ashleyscarth8363]
