Have been to golfie during my holidays in may. Brougt my hardtail, too. Was so much fun.🤘🏻

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Awesome mate. It's a great place isn't it 👍

[@Ry_Rides]

Kendal mint cake looks class 🤙🏼

[@streetpigeonmtb]

It is a mini epic mate. Lots going on and lots to catch you out! Loved it 😁

[@garykirkham4253]

Golfie so good 🔥🤟 Kendal mint cake 🔥🔥🔥👌

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Totally. The trails are fantastic!

[@bobbyboyd72]

Nice one on the root gap....will have to get up there soon for a ride 🤘

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers Bobby. It's definitely worth scoping out next time you are up 👍

[@garioch_gravel_rider7376]

Fantastic pal - great to session wee bits like that that give you the fear! Get to show others like me different ways to tackle tricky sections like that!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. I'd defo recommend giving that one a bash. Very doable but also very rewarding!

[@garioch_gravel_rider7376]

@@streetpigeonmtb Yeah i'm planning on a visit down that way when I can get a free weekend!

Nice. Let me know how you get on. Might even bump into you on the trails! 😁

Great looking trails buddy and some nice riding there 🤟

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Charlie. I'm loving my riding just now. We've been so lucky with the conditions as well. Hope you are good and finding some time on the bike 👍

[@charlesslwilson]

@@streetpigeonmtb excellent- hopefully off to Rogate BP about an hour from me this weekend. Went the other week and only two runs in my seat clamp fell apart - very annoying. Didn’t fancy riding without a seat😳! Good times

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Oh no. Yeah, good choice not riding without a seat. That could've been very painful! Hope the next trip brings you more luck 🙌

[@Mugtree]

Fantastic video and can’t wait to try Kendal Mintcake 👍.

[@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB]

Finally catching up on my KZbin this morn 😃 looks a great ride! Well done on that root gap, it is a nerve wracking one!!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Laura. I was so pleased to get that one 😁😁😁

[@dangerousdave1970]

Another awesome vid mate. Kendal mint cake is an awesome wee trail isn't it! Must be running spectacularly down there just now. Totally jealous as I've done my back in so am off the bike for 2 months.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Mate! Healing vibes. That's a tough one, especially during the summer months. Are you getting physio or do you just have to rest up?

[@dangerousdave1970]

@@streetpigeonmtb cheers mate, ye am scunnered. the weather is soooo good at the moment and i cant ride. ye getting loads of physio at the moment. been told to stay off mountain bike and motorbike for a couple of months.

Gutted for you man. Healing vibes. Hopefully you can come back stronger 😁

[@trailsfromthedarkside6460]

Quality as always. That Kendal trail looks Mint. 😂😂

Ha ha. It was very minty!

[@crowmountainbiking9926]

Yet another sick edit bro. Good to see you progressing and keeping on challenging yourself.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks folks! I'm really enjoying my riding at the moment 🤙

[@RossAndersonJoinery]

Mate, we were there on Saturday just before the fire broke out! It wisnae us though! We did NY NY and Flat White was amazing! Dented my rim on the way down as well, gnarly! Will have to try out Kendal next time. Cheers for another great vid! Inspiring.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Ross. It's such a good place eh?! Easy to damage a bike or yourself though! Thanks for taking time to comment. It's much appreciated 👍

So good to get back to the basics. Next Golfie trip I am going to check out the Kendal Mint Cake👌 solid Street Pigeon video🤩

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers Struan. Honestly, you could easily just session that trail bud. So many features worth stopping at and learning. I was pretty pleased getting down it blind but I'd love to master it for sure 😁 Thanks for taking time to comment bud 👍

[@marcusdavies257]

Those trails look an absolute riot of fun🤘. Nice job on that high line 👍.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Marcus. You summed it up well. Just a riot of fun! Thanks for taking time to comment 👍

[@andylanigan5267]

Hats off fella for navigating Kendall mint cake so well, that looked sketchy as in places for sure.. excellent video as ever 🤙

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Andy. Yeah, I was pleased with the riding, especially as I was riding that trail blind. I'd like to get to know that trail and some of those rock drops. They look awesome 👌

[@rossridesmtb7497]

More great riding, I loved seeing you work out that high line :D Great Video!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Ross. I was really pleased with that line actually. Its been on my tick list for a while, so it was great to have the confidence to give it a go. Thanks for taking time to comment 🙌

[@crazyoldmaninthewoods]

Great vid as always Jamie. I could totally relate to your problem solving on that hi line, thanks for sharing that. Surprised you pulling the age card at the end though, never too old to crash a mountain bike I always say. In fact I've vowed (despite the name of my channel) to never even mention my age or use it as an excuse for anything. Take it easy and thanks for filming, Andy

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Good attitude Andy! I guess for me I just get a bit more aware of risk these days. If I spanner myself for 6 weeks it makes kids and work difficult but I know what you mean!

[@DrFaroon]

Heading to inners and golfie for the weekend. First time on natural trails fir about a month. Looks great. Well done on that high line.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice mate. I'm sure you'll love it bud. Hope you have a good time bud!

[@DrFaroon]

@@streetpigeonmtb Had emergency eye surgery 3 weeks ago, and a heart procedure last week. Looking forward to getting back on the bike!

[@christogTV]

Great video! Interesting to see your reaction and most of the commenters reaction to Kendal Mint Cake. I came across that trail over a year ago and just thought it was terrible 😂 Maybe need to give it another shot to find the flow.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Ha ha. Thanks so much for commenting mate. Always cool to know an awesome rider has watched your content 🙌 I defo enjoyed it. I need to go back and session it though. There were some really challenging features. Maybe we could get a wee collab on it with the Collective 🙌😁

[@christogTV]

@@streetpigeonmtb 😅 I let the secret out. Love watching your videos 🙌 I’d be up for that if you are?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Ha ha. That is class. You've made my day fella. I am off work as of next Thu and have some great flexibility. I would love to do a wee collab around taming that trail!

[@christogTV]

@@streetpigeonmtb sounds awesome, I can probably make that work on Thursday. Send me a message on IG and we'll get it organised!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Sounds like a plan 😁

[@alanmorton8459]

Trails r looking great, Kendal mint cake looks mint!!!😂 Ur riding really seems to have moved on this year👏 , u talked about progressing at ur age, well u know u have a decade on me and I look to try and keep progressing ever ride I do so don’t ever let ur age stop u from trying new things. Looking forward to the next vid, keep them coming!!!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Couldn't agree with you more Alan. I think it's easy to let ideas about age and so forth slow you down. At the level we are riding at there is no reason why we can't continue to progress, injury aside. The videos will keep on coming. Not sure how much longer I'll manage weekly vids though. It's really difficult balancing that output with family and work! Speak soon bud 😁

[@seanbannon155]

Was in Innerleithen Saturday night and Sunday went to go to the golfie for the first time but was closed because of a wild fire hope all is well the trails look amazing can't wait to get back down again 🙌🙏👌👍love the videos class bit of riding 💪👏🏆

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice one Sean. Thanks for taking time to comment, it's really appreciated. That fire was crazy. As far as I'm aware that's the first time trails have been closed here due to fire. You'll definitely need to get back up here when the trails are open again 👍

[@llove-electrical]

I know the hill roads to the golfie were all closed as well

[@fatbaldyorkshireman7834]

Fires are out now and the trails are back open. Numerous visits by the fire service helicopter on Sunday and a bit of rain seem to have sorted it. Thanks to all who kept away and let the fire service get on with sorting it out. Even if they did steal away the water pressure during my shower.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah. It was a good choice. They seemed to sort it really quickly. We'll done to all involved! 👍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Well. At least you know by having that low pressure shower you played your part 🤣🙌👍

Great mtb video! Cool to watch your improvements! Just subscribed to you

Amazing mate. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I'm really enjoying trying to progress my riding depite being a little older. There is plenty time to still improve. Thanks for the sub 😁

Superb mate, loved those trails, fantastic riding, always progressing, that’s the beauty of filming our rides, you get to see it for yourself, never too old to progress, we just get more stupid 😂👍🏻

I'm really impressed Paul. Not quite as tacky as 5/10s, however they beat them hands-down in every other department 👍❤🙌

[@louishunt372]

Great video man, I rode the golfie for the first time a few weeks ago and was blown away by how good it was. I actually came up to that high line on my first run down and had to commit to that root gap last second. One big pull haha🤟🏻

Thanks Louis! Total respect for hitting that first time. I think I'd ridden past that high line about 20 times before I committed! Cheers for leaving a comment bud 👍

[@andyflaw]

Wow some great trails there. Heading up on the hardtail in May. Lynn smashes it on the HT 😮 What would you say are the most suited trails for a hardtail?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Oh, good question! NYNY is pretty good on the HT. Flat White also and Right Syde Clyde. After that it's all relatively rough but trails like Greg Joliffes go. Hope you enjoy it! May will be a good month 😁

[@andyflaw]

@@streetpigeonmtb great thanks. Gives us something to go at.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nae bother 👍

Awsome vid mate! Finally heading up this way next month! Don’t suppose you have a GPX of the area do you? Would be massively appreciated 👍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

You'll love it. There is a link to a GPX in the video description 👍

[@chunkyantmtb]

@@streetpigeonmtb Ah nice one dude! Should have just looked there in the first place 🙄

[@streetpigeonmtb]

No worries. I actually stopped adding the GPX on the later vids. So I needed to check it myself!

[@wayneemslie8904]

Pure entertainment as always. Congrats on clearing that line! Trails look mega steep even on YT. Any recommendations for "less average" riders doing a first ride at the Golfie?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. The first one I did, NYNY is one of the tamer ones. A really good starter. I also think Repeat Offender is good. If you get through NYNY OK then Repeat Offender is a good next step. Flat White is another firm fan favourite. It's straightforward enough, you just have to he careful as it can get quite loose, especially if it has been dry and busy. Hope that helps 👍😁

[@wayneemslie8904]

Thanks so much for the info. Will definitely check the brakes are optimal before attempting.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Ha ha. Yeah, brakes are essential at the Golfie!

[@ab_mtb]

@@streetpigeonmtb what pad compound do u use on long descents like these?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hi mate. I run sintered. I find other compounds wear to fast with all the mud and crap that gets on the pads, especially in winter.
