MY TOP 3 TRAILS AT INNERLEITHEN (JUMP LINE)

[@simonleescullion]

Been 12 years since I last visited Inners. All my riding palls are now retired but im still going strong. But it's hard when it's only you to keep motivated. You inspiring me to make the long journey back to rip up them flow trails. Planning a trip tonight a little corona vacation ^^ thanks for sharing mate.

[@mattwilson5092]

Thanks Lew. Dying to get back out on our trails. I'm in Las Vegas and we have great local trails, but Big Bear is just a few hours away and they will be opening soon. That's the favorite spot for my son and I. Party Wave, Westridge, Miracle Mile, Turtle. Just loads of fun. Thanks for helping those of us who can't hit the trails right now to enjoy seeing some riding. And yes, the goggles are dope.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Awesome! Hey no worries. Unfortunately we can’t ride here due to the trails being shut also. But happy I filmed this a while back and can’t put it out for us all to enjoy and what we have to look forward to when we can all return to riding! Stay safe to you and your family!

[@lohara-kj5xl]

Been riding a mountain bike since October last year and it geniunely boggles my mind that someone can ride this fast whilst maintaining control of the bike.. very impressive

[@simrokkzz]

Wow, even it’s not current bike, this was/is awesome!! Bomb riding Lewis!!

[@midoriya7451]

Happy to see you are enjoying Lockdown there mate. Here in our state I cant even ride my bike outside...

[@LewisBuchanan]

This was weeks ago man. Can’t ride here anymore :( not rode trails weeks dude! Stay safe

[@midoriya7451]

@@LewisBuchanan Ohh thats bad well any way stay safe dude.

[@Chozun]

Nice to see Angry sheep again, good talk through on the way down of where to take it high, will try it next time I’m there.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks!!! Appreciate it

[@theliquidstate3216]

Inners is looking good, nice to see they are getting on with developing some new runs. One thing I do wish though is that they would look at some jump lines ala Revs or BPW. We need some in Scotlando!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Dude I couldn’t agree more. A couple jump flow lines here like revs etc would complete it 😍

[@jackshuttleworth6570]

This makes me feel lucky not to have private trails because they can’t close my local trails. Sick video anyway.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Lucky dude! Cheers

[@living4adrenaline]

Those are your trails.

[@garybrown5769]

My head can’t work out this comment 😅

[@chrislanaway376]

Had the pleasure of Dougie showing us all of these when I was up at Inners with Specialized, some epic lines even with a camera bag full of kit on!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Rad Chris! You media lads are flat out with those bags on haha

[@chrislanaway376]

Lewis Buchanan hard not to be when you’re fully loaded 😂.

[@mannybee]

Thanks for that. I'm due to come up for the first time ever on the 30th May. Now I know that I'll be okay as these trails would be perfect for my limited skill set. Thanks for the video. Some smoooooooooth riding there

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! Enjoy when you are here

[@AdaammmZ]

Sick video. Cant wait to return to innerleithen once this is all over to ride. I came up earlier this year and was blown away by the riding available, so much so that I'm currently looking to live and work there purely to have the riding on my doorstep.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Awesome to hear Adam! Thanks for ya comment

[@br1200]

Go for it man. I moved to Peebles for the same reason. Living here is an absolute dream. Stunning scenery, epic riding and still relatively close to Edinburgh etc.

[@cheviothillrider]

Conditions look prime, rode some of those a couple of days before lockdown and they were still soaking wet and muddy, looks weird though with car park being totally empty and no other riders about. Your lucky to be able to use these for your daily exercise!

[@alexanderchung404]

Love Angry Sheep, Trail with No Name and Jane's Lane. Certainly can't ride them as fast as you though! Only started to get that high line on Jane's Lane over the past 6 months or so but can't get it all the time. Still can't get that tight left hander over the root that you said you did an endo on though. Any advice on that corner of doom for us mere mortals?

[@mac46rr]

😁😎wow. Caught your vid while doing some research. Me and my better half are coming up to the Tweed Valley for a few days in June. First time at Innerleithen/ Glentress 😁 Really looking forward too it. Will be going at about 1/50th your speed 😆😆 Will try not too get in the way of the fast peeps 😁

[@LewisBuchanan]

Amazing! I hope you enjoy it!

[@5492sparky]

Angry Sheep is the trail top of my list of trails to ride. Hopefully this Summer. As for the vid Mate bloody good riding and the talk through is superb for us mere mortals on how you set yourself up for different sections. The speed is on a different level. One day hopefully i'll bump into you somewhere and you can give this old man a few pointers! Top job. 👍

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks man I appreciate it a lot! Totally would be cool! See you on trails at somepoint

Rad! Thanks 👌🏽

[@allymitchell7583]

Trails look in mint condition running sweat. Not ridden much at Innerleithen only the last trail but will be heading there when this has all settled down. Keep up the good work look forward to your videos each week. You make it look so easy 🤟🤟😂

[@LewisBuchanan]

Yeah man this was a fun day. Stay safe and thanks a bunch

[@mdc123-v2v]

Moving to Innerleithen in two weeks, can't wait to get into MTB as apparently you can't live in the valley if you don't ride! haha.

[@andyclarke2969]

Yep great trails love Angry sheep, haven't got round to doing Angry bird yet but it's on the radar, can't wait, it must be hard being a pro rider at present, you are doing a great job trying to entertaining us though, so keep it up cheers.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Awesome! You’ll enjoy it. Thanks a lot Andy!

[@MrDEVNO]

Would you do a video on cleaning the bike please? Handy to see the way you do it, probably give people a good few new tips

[@reezin14]

Looks like you've got a great trail system over there,would love to ride those. Excellent video bro. I like either or... It's dry and wet were I live so I have adapted.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks, I appreciate it

[@boxinggloves87]

hey mate how would you describe these trp brakes compared to other ones you had ??? Im looking for the new set between hope and trp now. cheers

[@Duncan23]

This has got me so hyped for my trip up in July :) I can't wait to try these 3 out, they look super fun and flowy

[@LewisBuchanan]

Awesome! Enjoy

[@Duncan23]

Thanks I'm sure I will have a blast :) I cant seem to find Jane's Lane on trailforks, does it have a different name on there?

[@mnex2724]

Feels so good to watch a riding video again🤙🏼 killin it dude 🔥

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks dude

[@daveandmerlin]

Another great Vid and I cant wait to get back to Inners after the Lockdown . I prefer Winter conditions to ride but Summer conditions for not having to clean bike and kit after every ride !

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! I agree haha!

[@daveandmerlin]

@@LewisBuchanan obviously you ride for a living and race etc so when the lockdown ends your riding time might be taken up with work but it would be great if you ever get a chance to do some videos abroad...ie la Thuile, Samoens ,the off piste stuff in Morzine and some truly terrifying trails in a place called La Grave .

[@LewisBuchanan]

Totally that’s all planned. Will be more of that stuff im hoping

[@richthegasman]

Sick man, angry sheep has to be a fav of mine 🤘

[@LewisBuchanan]

Awesome!

[@tissaenduroadventures7425]

Although I know I already watched the footage of the first two tracks, I still enjoyed the whole vid! Nice one, was fast enough! For me it is definitely wet conditions as the trail were I ride are always very dry and when it is wet it is perfect, but now after only a little time with no rain, it is so dry you have to be careful to not wash your frontwheel out!!! I will never understand the weather in The Netherlands......

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! I appreciate it!

[@tissaenduroadventures7425]

@@LewisBuchanan Update! My hometrails are closed because of the drought….. It is so dry already that there is a possibility that the trails get damaged by the riding and in another nature area close to us was Netherland´s biggest wildfire ever a few days ago, so I think they are preventing it in this area! I think it is a good decision, also because it is so busy there right now as everyone goes to the trails (we have holidays now)

[@bike_somm]

Killer bud! Yeeowww 🕺🏻

[@LewisBuchanan]

Hey I appreciate you! Thanks a bunch! Glad ya enjoy it

[@phazedplasma]

you shred on that bike man! Ever feel like the 130 in the rear isnt enough?

[@azonicds]

Don't know if you have a video about braking/braking points, but it would be interesting to hear your take on it. Thanks for the videos!

[@LewisBuchanan]

No worries! Had this one saved up in the bank! Maybe I can do something on braking in the future! Cheers

[@MacRaceyMTB]

What kind of helmet do u have btw?

[@colinlenhardt3902]

Videos are sweet, I am 5'9 and am looking at the druid frame I can't decide if I should go with a med or a large. What do you think?

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks. Hmm I would say a medium. I am 5,11 and a large. But I mean depends. I wish i could help more man! Large does feel nice though and I wouldn’t drop down to a medium!

Do you mount your gopro on your chin? Bc it looks hella good. Great video

[@LewisBuchanan]

Yeah on my chin of my full face! Thanks

[@Tannervmtb]

Are they enforcing the no ride rule over there? Been pretty lucky in the northeastern US in that almost everywhere is still open to ride... for now at least.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Um the forestry company here shut the trails around Scotland that they own that are official middle of last month. So official tracks are closed yes. I’ve not rode trails in weeks 😭

[@notstevenbutsomeoneelsesha7672]

Nice I really miss these trails Only ever done angry sheep x1 Always do the red up to minch moor worth it for the descent Is trail without a name just further up the same road from angry sheep? Prefer dry trails if there's a choice but monsoons are also available "it is Scotland after all" :-D

[@LewisBuchanan]

Yeah it’s just further up the road from end of angry sheep!

[@jonathanangieri153]

Awesome trails bro!! Your so blessed to have that in your backyard!! Love it when the conditions are dry and i don't have to wash my bike afterwards. Hows your bike holding up?? Are you still super stoked with it? Do you notice any downsides to the 130mm of travel on the backend yet??

Hell yeah, bike is awesome. I love it honestly don’t notice any downside at all! Love it

I really like dry conditions but when it isnt ike dusty, i need a bit more grip. At the moment here in Germany its way to dry and you´re slipping and sliding a lot when you aren´t carefull. It hasn´t rained for over a month now, its damn loose. And aslo after one ride your bike is very dusty and aou have to clean it anyways. I
