Are The Trails Sweeter On The Other Side? - Mtb Scotland

[@michaelfleming4015]

That was amazing! “Yer pedals are writing checks yer breaks couldn’t cash!” Gotta remember that one. So steep, but what a view! Thanks for taking us along, again. The drone shots are super, your edit using them is excellent!

[@McTrailRider]

Sometimes I come out with good ones like that, but mostly just nonsense 😜

[@alistairsavoury1074]

You nailed it. It was fantastic. Now summer's here, bring em on!

You guys are way better than you say , honestly your making very technical riding look relatively easy , love the videos 👍🏻

[@McTrailRider]

Much appreciated Kevin, suppose we’ve gotten the hang of it quite well by now.

[@paulmacfarlane899]

“Your pedals writing cheques your brakes couldn’t cash” 😂😂 love that phase, going to have to steal that one! Another epic video, and a stunning trail 👌🏻 loving the colours of the heather and the greenery (against Piers jacket 😂) on the way down!

[@dukekaboom4105]

The phrase comes from a Christopher Bookmyre book, I can’t remember which one ( A Big Boy Did It and Ran Away ) ?. “ ..his mouth was writing cheques that his arse couldnae cash.” Brilliant video and great riding. Thanks.

Felt it was quite a fitting phrase to use 😜

Another nice video. Loving the drone footage and Piers is getting really good on the bike.

[@McTrailRider]

Piers is definitely starting to find his flow.

[@richardeljay]

Really neat video. Drone footage was so good. Great sense of speed and flow.

[@A_AAA232]

nice one Andrew -views and editing were spot on especially the drone perspective with the two of you in shot. Big skills getting down those trails -they do look great

[@McTrailRider]

Started setting the done a little further back to get more in the shot, which seems to be working out well.

[@Adasrast]

Amazing as always 🏔🚵🏻 and these views

Thanks Adam

Amazing footage with the drone, think thats a very worth while investment to your channel .

One of the best things I’ve ever purchased I reckon 👍

Awesome trails. Love the drone shots. I can actually watch this without being nauseous (vs pov gopro mount video’s). Going to check out more 👍

[@McTrailRider]

There are quite a few people similar to yourself that can’t watch too much POV, so the drone really does help make a difference in that respect 👍

Nice mate very nice, when you said piers lead on I knew he'd be off like a shot. How do you both manage to fit in so much good riding?, I try but family ,4 dogs ,work etc always seem to squeeze my time. Looking forward to the next one 👍

[@McTrailRider]

We actually only really ride once or twice a week, we just try and make sure that they count👍

Awesome bud another belter!... love the wee geography lessons & that drone! still trying to get my hands on 1!!! wonder if I'd get my SurRon bike up there? :P

I think you’d get in a fair bit of trouble if you took a SuRon up there to be honest.

[@MartyFaeScotland]

@@McTrailRider oh 4 sure.. need a pedal kit first :P

Wow another great video, your knowledge of the Scottish surroundings are just as impressive as the riding mate .. nothing nicer than Scottish scenery on a clear dry day, you have a knack of selecting great days for the trips , how do you manage it.

[@McTrailRider]

All my biking decisions are made based on the weather forecast and very little else, that’s how I manage it.

[@themadscot34]

@@McTrailRider I thought so, I need to know your weather sources. Haha. Every time I plan a trip the weather is never what it was meant to be , last few times it’s just been get up in the morning and see, which isn’t ideal , anyway. Another fantastic decent and epic footage as always

[@mtb_8796]

How did you make this video show depth. Is it the wide angle mod?

[@McTrailRider]

Just the standard GoPro setup, although the lens mod does help show steepness.

[@dasanoneia4730]

your drone was catching some really nice shot is it getting smarter?

[@McTrailRider]

I done a bit of reframing and cropping in this video too make it all look a bit better. There has been a new firmware version recently though, that has made a huge difference. Those videos are still to come out though.

[@lukavsoundseeker1642]

Andrew what is Your camera setup these days? You still stick to Gopro hero 9? Or gone back to any previous models? And are You using any mods? I remember Your video when You were testing 9 and the mods but wondered what's your everyday gear since then and if it caused You any issues.

[@McTrailRider]

I’m generally just running the GoPro hero 9 in standard form, but alternating between chin and chest mount. I have two of the hero 9’s and one of them has intermittent audio issues.

[@lukavsoundseeker1642]

@@McTrailRider Thanks Andrew. I'm asking cause recently seen quite a lot of complains and bad reviews about Hero 9, that it's faulty. Which really surprised me. I had hero 7 and was delighted with it and considering buying hero 9 or wait for hero 10 to come out and see what it offers (maybe finally they'll use newer processor).
