The Golfie MTB | New York New York

[@LewisBuchanan]

Awesome POV footage dude! Nice watch

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. A bit slower than you guys! Thanks for watching 👍

[@craighudson1974]

Just done that one today after watching you in this one. I had to stop 1/2 way down after starting at the wall on the top of the bill. My arms and legs were pumped solid after all the battering. Your right, what an absolutely amazing trail that was. All I could say at the bottom was scream out “holy shit, I made it”! Lol while laughing my pads off. Hats of to the builders of that work of art.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Brilliant Craig! Yeah, that trail and Repeat Offender really do test the fitness because of the length of them. It's really nice to have longer trails isn't it! I agree with you 💯 The trail builders are total legends.

[@timangus]

I think the numbers after the trails at Caberston on Trailforks are difficulty ratings; certainly works if you read them that way. They appeared a couple of months ago, presumably whoever admins that area added them manually. Really handy though, it would be cool if Trailforks did that everywhere.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I had just seen them when I was making the video and I thought it must've been when they removed the old segment and added the adjusted one 👍

[@boringuserhandle]

Yes there's a wee message about it on the info page of trail forks. There was much speculation before I found out!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@@boringuserhandle any chance you could send me a link?

[@5492sparky]

Guaranteed a good time when you take the Bird to New York. 😀

[@streetpigeonmtb]

😂😂😂 I'm trying so hard not to lower the tone with some other Bird jokes just now 👍

[@cheviothillrider]

Rode this trail a few weeks ago for the first time in years and what a difference from the old version....HUGE improvement.

[@andrewleighton472]

Another quality vid. Probs be one of the first trails I’ll try when I get chance to sample the golfie hopefully sometime soon

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I honestly think this is the first trail you should hit. It's a great warmup trail but still testing. Let me know how you get on when you visit 👍

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Awesome flowy looking trail, i'm going to arrange a scotland trip next year for definite, quality edit as always mate :)

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice mate. If I'm available I'd be happy to guide you 👍

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Street Pigeon MTB, that would be awesome mate, I’ll let you know what I’m planning when I know more 😁👍🏻

[@DistrictMountainBiker]

Great trail and actually looked like you got a bit of light in the trees! I'll have to remember to pick a sunny day next time 😂

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah. Note that I'm having to use footage from earlier in the year. Taking a GoPro out at the moment is pointless. So dark, so wet... Roll on spring!!!

[@DistrictMountainBiker]

@@streetpigeonmtb Tell me about it, weather here is shocking! Winter is great when it's cold and sunny but not what we're getting at the minute 😭

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@@DistrictMountainBiker how's the recovery going? When you are feeling fit and ready it would be great to get down to Grizedale for a collaboration 🤙

[@DistrictMountainBiker]

@@streetpigeonmtb not too bad, first ride on the bike is going to be new year so maybe early next year we can get something sorted in the lakes? Grizedale would be a good one 👍

[@MeantforDescent]

That looks amazing. Only been to the Golfie once and ended up riding Lone Wolf, which was intense, and Flat White. I can see a return trip coming on.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Defo. I have a cheeky video on Monday which should wet your appetite!

[@MeantforDescent]

@@streetpigeonmtb I'll keep an eye out. Cheers.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate!

[@olliemeres8788]

Nicely ridden! Gonna get down and try it.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Ollie. It's a fantastic trail and definitely worth a visit 👍

[@trailsfromthedarkside6460]

Nice video dude. I bet the go pro doesn’t do it justice. Defo on the bucket list for next year. Keep it up.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. Yeah, the Go Pro makes it look pretty flat... It's not!

[@2508Nivag]

Still to explore The Golfie, how would NY NY compare to say Hush Hush at Glentress?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thats a good question. Quite different trails actually, however similar in skill level required IMO. If you can ride Hush Hush you will be fine on NYNY.

[@clyneslines9596]

guid work....... far better executed than me.... keep it up dude

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers pal 🤙

[@sqwax7093]

Nice trail

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks. It's a great trail, pretty challenging and fast near the bottom. A good trail to try the first time you visit the Golfie 🤙

[@rw7269]

What are your top 5 favourite golfie trails I’ll be heading there soon for the first time.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

New York New York, Greg Joliffes, Big Baw, Community Service, Repeat Offender 👍

[@rw7269]

@@streetpigeonmtb i thought flat white would be on your list seems to be the favourite of a lot of riders , they named the city New York twice because it was that good I wonder if that’s how the trail got its name lol.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@@rw7269 yeah. It is very good. FLAT white is great so if you haven't ridden it before then it is worth it. There are just loads of trails. I don't think you could find a bad one 🤞

[@Gstark81]

Cracking video again. Tackled that trail a few weeks ago at night. What tyres you running for winter I’m needing a swap to cope with the damper conditions.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hi mate. I'm currently running MSC Grippers front and rear. They are doing a pretty solid job 👍

[@LKendall7]

What time of the year did you go? Went yesterday, really struggled with the mud, mainly down to skill level but I just couldn't get into it.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I can't remember mate. It gets ridden all year round. Sounds like it wasn't good conditions for you! It tends to ride best in summer when it is damp. Weirdly all the local trails get faster when they are a wee bit damp as in the dry they get too loose and are a total handful. Did you do any other trails? How were they?

[@LKendall7]

@@streetpigeonmtb did the innerleithen red in the morning then headed over to the golfie, we were fried after NY NY so headed back to base.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice one. The off piste trails are quite a step up from the old trail centre ones eh? Hope you had a good one anyways. There is some off piste stuff at Glentress that is probably a bit easier to get into. Unfortunately mud is still an issue at the moment. Scottish summer time 🤦‍♂️

[@LKendall7]

@@streetpigeonmtb ha, heading home today but doing a quick loop around glentress again. Been great coming up.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Brilliant. Enjoy your last day mate 😁

[@jasonmillar8945]

What is your name mr pigeon? And whys the channel called street pigeon?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hi Jason. My name is Jamie. The channel name story is quite long and not that exciting but came from a trip to Torridon a few years back 👍

[@HUSHHUSH-]

Ney york new york looks sweet

[@streetpigeonmtb]

It's a very nice trail. A great warmup trail for a hill that has a lot of pretty gnarly trails on it!

[@HUSHHUSH-]

Street Pigeon MTB yeah boiii , glad to see you riding all year round 🤘🤪

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@@HUSHHUSH- yeah. Winter riding is great for the skills. Just not so good if you want to keep warm 😂

[@HUSHHUSH-]

Street Pigeon MTB depends with your enduro climbs ✊✊🤔

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@@HUSHHUSH- ha ha. Yeah the climbing gives some protection from the cold. Hands and feet never stay warm for long though! 🥶

[@MTBScotland]

Surprisingly dry

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah. Managed to get this footage before this weather madness started. All my filming has come to a halt at the moment. Hoping 2020 is dryer!!!

[@MTBScotland]

Street Pigeon MTB hopefully it pissed down till June then I don’t miss anything 😂. That happened the year I did my collar bone in. Rained for 3 months while I healed
