How Hard Are The Black Mtb Trails At Fort William? (Top Chief + DH World Cup)

[@fergus_mtb4543]

Great video 👊🤘💪! Was really cool to meet you!😎😎

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thanks! You too! You guys were ripping!

[@deividas_kimontas]

Love these techy trails! Awesome riding dude! 🤘 Fort William is on my list! 😁

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thanks, yeah they are brilliant. A true test for bike and rider! Enjoy!

[@robertmartin6513]

That looked amazing and propper death in places 😵 defo a contender for next years big trip 😉 love how you take time to show each big feature 👍

[@MtbTrailHub]

Cheers Robert, Yeah it's exactly that. It's defo worth a look but i wouldn't spend the whole trip here, maybe more of a stopping point for a day or so. Couple that up with the cairngorms and tweed valley and you've got something special brewing!

[@alastair5860]

Great video as always. The GoPro does a great job of smoothing out and flattening those trails as those tracks are intense. I maintain that the Top Chief is more difficult than the WC though.

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thanks Ali, yeah the Go Pro effect is REAL! and same with the Red Bull coverage tbh.....track looks pretty chill on TV too. Noooooo, don't be silly ...... WC Track is on another level!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

You've done well to get the difficulty across. The thing I always find funny is that Top Chief used to be a red-graded trail 🤣 - there is nothing about that trail that could be considered red 🙈

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thanks for that! Hahaa, i bet that caught a few people of guard. It's good that there is now the option of the Blue Doon. I saw lots of people really out of their depth on top chief because it was the only way down.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@@MtbTrailHub yeah! Fort Bill is notorious for people damaging themselves. Hopefully the Blue Doon will reduce the helicopter rescues a little bit!

[@georgemacdonald6805]

@@streetpigeonmtb you would think so. Was there a few weeks back and the kiosk was telling us that there have been more incidents on Blue Doon than all of last year and previous seasons. It’s is a cracking Blue run though..

[@mikearmstrongofficial1725]

Subscribed matey 🤘👍👍 I live in Fort William and shred these trails until I'm back and blue. Such a sick trail center 😁 nice vid by the way!

[@MtbTrailHub]

Hahaa, cheers Mike! What a place to have on your doorstep! Hopefully they keep on the trend of building new trails 👍

[@yaroslavmagnus-hamblett6862]

that lower forestry section of the blue looks great!

[@MtbTrailHub]

Yeah it's really nice, There's a few trails down on the lower sections that didn't make the video.

[@robertspill4024]

great work as always

[@MtbTrailHub]

Appreciate that, cheers boy!

[@leethompson5635]

A great vid. Definitely on my bucket list!

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thanks Lee, Well worth a look!

[@MTB_Trekker]

Really want to get up to FW and see it for myself. Top Chief looks like it has everything!

[@MtbTrailHub]

It's actually mind blowing when you first drive up there. If only the trail map was bigger it would have it all! Top chief is up there with some of the best! well worth a look

[@TrailFinder]

Well done mate for hitting 10k subs. 😁

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thanks! 😃 It was always a Big milestone to reach back when i first started the channel! In reality nothing has changed hahaa

[@andym21uk]

Top chief is amazing. Prefer it to the World Cup track. It just has everything. Great video.

[@MtbTrailHub]

Couldn't agree more! WC is a little to much! Top chief for fun laps all day! Thanks

[@mossy.trails5289]

Great effort dude. Made my teeth hurt just watching the video :D

[@MtbTrailHub]

Glad you enjoyed it! She's a bone shaker alright!

[@craigbarlow3291]

Glad I watched this.... ment I could ride features like (6min in) blind.... defo a savage track

[@MtbTrailHub]

Awesome! Glad it worked out. Lucky the trail hadn't changed since filming this ! haha

[@all4outdoor738]

Nice!

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thanks!

[@tomek6481]

Did you check your bike after run 😁? Those rock gardens are killers. Congratulations!! You visit must famous track in Europe 🤟🏻

[@MtbTrailHub]

haha, Maybe a quick bolt check..... It's fair to say my bike was/ still is hanging after a couple of weeks in Scotland!

[@rickgreenhalgh1357]

I think the Mrs' ocd is rubbing off on me, tidy those cables and hoses up a bit 😂

[@MtbTrailHub]

Absolutely, I agree! Don’t worry, I’ve sorted it for this summer! 😂

[@charlesslwilson]

Good effort

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thanks, gave it my best shot!

[@daveybmtb]

When you said about the gondola mate - you're right. Fort william is the only mountain gondola in the UK👊🏻 fuckin love Fort bill, one of my favourite places to have ridden

[@MtbTrailHub]

It was only while i was talking it through that it dawned on me about that..... Glen coe just down the road also has a lift but its got nothing on this place! Yeah they are awesome trails.......I heard there is financial support in place to build more trail from the top. Happy days!

[@daveybmtb]

@@MtbTrailHub yeah I've heard talks of another centre and a full size bike shop, gonna be a massive venue soon! More the merrier!

[@MtbTrailHub]

@@daveybmtb It will just take time now, a new trail network will takes years to build. The future is bright 👍

[@kfoulger]

Crying out to be hardtailed 😈😂💪😳

[@MtbTrailHub]

Oh jeez, don't do it to yourself! haha Top chief would be good, WC not a chance!

[@simeonwilson6743]

Do you need a full face to go down it

[@MtbTrailHub]

I’d highly recommend!

[@JamesRobertMTB]

The whole run I was tense. Waiting for a wheel to give up 🙈

[@MtbTrailHub]

Felt like I held my breath the whole run..... such a crazy trail 😅

[@jeroenberger9064]

Dude nice video but those commercials inbetween, what the fuck mate???!!

[@MtbTrailHub]

Haha, That's all youtube mate...... I don't choose the ads

[@martinpratley4632]

Why would u not wear gloves hands will take a battering if u fall

[@MtbTrailHub]

I do prefer to wear them, Only thing is.....when i'm out filming there is so much stop starting it just makes life a lot easier not having to take gloves on and off constantly.

[@martinpratley4632]

@@MtbTrailHub that's fair enough
