[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks for all the lines bud haha!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I'm sure you'll find some other ones! 🤣🤘

[@crazyoldmaninthewoods]

Nice work Jamie. Making me super jealous as usual. Thanks for filming, Andy

[@streetpigeonmtb]

No problem at all Andy 👍

[@marcusdavies257]

Fab riding and commentary. And great to see racing starting to return 🤘.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. Yup, I'm so happy for all the racers out there 😁

[@scotty-sb1403]

That’s the content we like to see. No messing and great descriptions 🤘🏻

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. I was actually pretty pleased I managed to keep talking. Lost it a but on Trailfairy Plan but that felt savage!

[@2508Nivag]

Glad I’m not the only one that gets the fear at Ponduro, great course preview 👍🏼

[@streetpigeonmtb]

No problem at all. I spend at leas 50% of my riding fearful 🤣 It's no bad thing 😁

[@grantmckendry3323]

Great video Street Pigeon MTB. Plenty of shortcuts through the pines on stage 2!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I know. I spotted a few cracking lines when I watched the footage back. Need to get back out there to try and take advantage of them!

[@TheHyTek]

I love these trails. My favourite, you sent it my man.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. Just riding as well as I can. Thanks for taking time to comment bud 👍

[@ab_mtb]

Cracking vid as always. That trail fairy plan looks flipping horrible. Super steep, tight & twisty is my idea of trail hell 😂😂

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Ha ha. Yeah, I'd be with you on that. TBF I probably just need to ride it more. It does scare the hell out of me though 🤣

[@rossridesmtb7497]

Great content once again! Loving working through your vids!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers bud. I'm really pleased you are enjoying them 😁

[@jakmoore4782]

Mate you underestimate yourself. That ho chi min run was class 👌

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Jak. It's a good trail that. You get to some speed don't you?

[@andylanigan5267]

I'm knackered just watching that fella, trail fairy plan is horrifically scary, excellent content as ever 🤙👏👏

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. TFP is a really tough trail. I've always found it a wee bit overwhelming if I'm honest. I'm always pleased when I make it down in one piece!

[@alanmorton8459]

Great vid, nice wee change to ur normal. Think the course preview worked really well, Tweedlove should book u for the next race as well. When I was at Glentress on Wednesday night I was lucky enough to stumble across stage 3 & 5, all taped and ready to go, so gave them a wee run. So much fun, hush hush and ponduro 👌 love them!!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers Alan. That's good to know. I think we have a plan to do some more! Did you enjoy your time over here?

[@alanmorton8459]

Had a great time down there, the fact I had a lot longer than expected was such a bonus. Shame it’s a 7 hour drive. Hopefully I can get another trip down there this year apart from the King and queen of this hill race that I am booked onto, looking forward to ur course preview for that race !

[@givemeakidney]

Looks like they've organised some traditional tweedlove weather too 👌.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

It does look a little like that. Fingers crossed the racers get half decent conditions 😁

[@tweedlove8345]

Just damping down the dust today. Going to be primo tomorrow. :)

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Whoop whoop!

[@dangerousdave1970]

Nice vid dude. Glad to see theyve opened the trench up a bit on sideB. i had written that trail off as basically unrideable, but may go have a spin on it again. but that combo with Bside, then across into hush hush, broon troot, into ewok, the bitch then supersteep is utterly world class.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah. It's just a great route. I'm with you on getting that rut opened. In bad condition that thing is legit terrifying!

[@boringuserhandle]

This is pretty much my go to route at GT! Great trails.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

They are indeed!

[@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB]

That’s amazing you’re doing previews!! That local will be a good one with that course. Great preview! 👍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Laura! Yeah, I think it's going to be a popular format and good for the channel. Means I get to pretend to be a racer as well 🤣

[@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB]

@@streetpigeonmtb absolutely. Fantastic for the channel! Hehe yep that’ll be fun to ride the courses without a timer chip! 😁

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Less stressful certainly 🤣

[@kevinwood8021]

Mint preview, was on some of them today all taped up👊

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Exciting times! I love riding trails when the tape is on them. Always makes it that bit more exciting!

[@gordonhenderson1287]

Good vid.🤙 Did some of the stages today (and they were taped) they are running fast.👌 That was before the rain came at 11am! 😁

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice mate. Yeah, the rain has been pretty constant. I think the trails will recover pretty well though as overall it's been a pretty dry May 👍

[@gordonhenderson1287]

@@streetpigeonmtb are you taking part tomorrow?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I am not I'm afraid. Downside of having the course knowledge is that it isn't really in the racing spirit for me to race. I'm actually hoping to head to the Golfie tomos for a quick spin 😁

[@anthonylau6691]

Sick trails, conditions look prime!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

You said it. Almost perfect conditions to be fair. Just enough damp in the soil to give it maximum grip 🤘

[@francomcsherrypostalteammt2196]

One of your best videos mate and such a great idea to do a course preview!! Great trails and a few of my favourites in there and like you say good luck to everyone racing. I'm unfortunately working tomorrow. Oh and great to finally meet you last weekend!! Hopefully get a blast out on the bikes either with my crew or your crew sometime 👍🤘

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers pal. It seems to be a really popular format for sure and not just with racers. We should defo get something sorted 😁 Great to meet you fella 👍

[@5492sparky]

Great riding Mate. 👍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Mark. I'm happy with my riding at the moment. Decent pace and (mostly) controlled 🤣. Hope you are well mate.

[@DrFaroon]

Off to GT on Sunday to recce the GT 7 route, but definitely going to link up these trails while we're at it - though on the short travel bikes, for the extra spice!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Spicy indeed!

[@dundeeuniversityandnhstays4723]

@@streetpigeonmtb Ponduro was completely smashed to pieces by the race - made for interesting times on Sunday!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Ha ha. I bet. It's a tricky wee trail at the best of times! Did you enjoy it?

[@DrFaroon]

@@streetpigeonmtb Loved it! It was new bike day (SC Tallboy), great day out!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Brilliant. Love NBD!!!

I thought that hush hush was in instead of plan b great video as always though! Some gnarly stuff

[@dominiczdavies]

Sorry thinking of the kids stage

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. The racers will have some fun tomorrow 👍

[@clyneslines9596]

Sweet dude.... you can tell yer local from yer good lines . Shoulda been racing man 💪

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Aye, local knowledge is always good knowledge! Maybe next time bud 😁

[@alanmcconnell5113]

Cheers for that Jamie. I can confirm that the sniper root near the top of B side may.....or may not..... get a wee pre race tweak tomorrow🤔🤔🤔

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Leave it in for the laughs... But make sure there is a photographer stationed there 🤣

[@tweedlove8345]

and the actual sniper on Broon Troot is ex special services.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

🤣

[@charlesslwilson]

Great trails and good effort buddy

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Charlie. I actually road well enough aside from stage 4, Broon Troot. I think the tiredness was kicking in a bit and that trail is just awkward. I always think you haemorrhage time down that trail as soon as the first mistake is made.

[@charlesslwilson]

@@streetpigeonmtb I’ve not ‘raced’ but just from riding it’s often hard to gain momentum quickly after a mistake or two. Puts you off your rhythm Still cool though

[@DizRidesMtb]

Fantastic congratulations well done Dude great ridin looks tough but fun 👊

[@streetpigeonmtb]

It's a very fun enduro route. My legs were busted by the end though 🤣

Nice one man! Looking forward to a ride down your way very soon!

Nice mate. There is plenty to ride down here. Lots of new stuff but plenty of local classics as well 😁

[@alexgracie1283]

Another sick video, you should come up to Fairlie sometime to check out the trails there, there aren't many of them but they're all really good, defo worth checking out.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I'd love to bud. At the moment I have so many places to visit. We are so damn lucky to live in Scotland eh? 🥰

Ha ha. A little bit of bike inspiration!

[@lotosmusic5140]

Hey hope your well. Nice to meet you at Ian’s. You asked me to get in touch

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I'm all good, just keeping busy and riding as much as possible 😁 How's you?

[@struanrobertson1315]

This is awesome dude. Proper killing it and really putting one out for the tweed team👌👌 the 4K 60 looks so weird lol but I can see why you done it. Well thought out and put together👏

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks pal! Trying to get the footage as crisp as possible... So dark in those trees though!!!

[@TheLoamCourierMTB]

I unknowingly rode the last 2 stages yesterday actually, Ewok down to Ponduro were all taped up but Broon Trout wasn't, conditions were mint yesterday. I wonder if it'll stay dry for race day lol

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice. The rain is pretty heavy just now but I wreckon it'll get absorbed fairly quickly. I'd forgotten what a beast Trailfairy Plan is!

[@tweedlove8345]

We'll be out with the driers on Friday night. It'll be sweet. 👌

[@TheLoamCourierMTB]

@@tweedlove8345Best get the hair driers ready then. I had fun pretending I was racing anyway haha!

[@TheLoamCourierMTB]

@@streetpigeonmtb I done Trail Fairy Plan about a month ago, it's a major improvement since the last time I rode it last year, but it's still very heart in the mouth on a few sections. I wouldn't like to try ride it at race pace though!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Me too!

[@95cheekz]

Great video mate! What’s the name of the second trail? Looks very interesting!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

It's called Trailfairy Plan. You get to it off the mast at Glentress. In my opinion it's the gnarliest at GT 👍

[@95cheekz]

@@streetpigeonmtb done all the other trails on tonight’s video a week ago and got to agree with you it looks gnarly, might get myself down next week and check it out!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Do it mate! Thanks for the comments bud 😁

[@MountainBikePete]

You were flying there Jamie! Nice preview. Btw did I see you in your last video with the GoPro microphone attachment?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. You did see the media mod on the 9 however... The audio is still crap! In all the videos I still overlay any 9 footage with audio from my 7 🤦‍♂️ The media mod stopped the audio popping I had but replaced it with audio that sounds like it's been recorded underwater. I could get an external mic but TBH it's just hassle. My hopes are pinned on the Hero 10 as there doesn't seem to be any rival cameras on the way 👍

[@MountainBikePete]

@@streetpigeonmtb hey thanks for that! I thought your audio was from the new mic. Guess I’ll just have to see what the 10 brings then! Ta bud. 👍🤘

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah. Honestly, I think the 9 is best avoided. Not a fan I'm afraid 😔

[@MountainBikePete]

@@streetpigeonmtb I’ve actually got the 9. But I went from the 7 to the 9 because of the stabilisation and missed out the 8. What do you think of your colours before you colour grade? I’ve found them really saturated so not had to do a lot with them. Some of the clips were a bit greenish? I’ve done a few tweaks and they’re not so bad. Hopefully the 10 will be a big improvement.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah, the colours are quite rich but like you say, means you don't have to play. Do you lock your white balance? If not give that a go. It's a better solution. 5500k is just about perfect for all Scottish rides 👍

[@birchy9177]

Hello dude I plan to come up next week is there any chance of this route on strava I love to do the loop I fully understand if not Many thanks

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hey mate. If you head to my Strava it is there. It is called 'Bit of Sunday leg stretching' from the 16th May 2021 👍
