These trails broke me! Ainsa MTB

[@gobikeyourself]

Darren from Trailtracker brought me over here, didn't promise too much when he said I should check your channel out ;-) Those trails round Ainsa are incredible, thanks for taking us on the ride!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

That's brilliant. Thanks for watching and thanks to Darren for letting you know. Ainsa is great. I totally agree. Glad you enjoyed the vid!

[@MTBScotland]

its like listening to one of your phone calls with all that heavy breathing.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

😆 That's post-covid for you. I tried my best. I was done though!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Great trip. I love how those European shuttle days have a big sit down lunch in a restaurant. NZ is usual a sandwich on the side of the mountain.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Ha ha. The lunches were amazing. Getting started after the big lunch... Not so amazing!

[@paterjo8561]

Another great video, thanks for sharing! I like how you also include video of the old buildings, ruins, the town, and the food really helps us to better understand your trip. When you go back to BasqueMTB try their Backcountry Pyrenees, it is also amazing.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. I really appreciate that. I wanted to try and show the journey a little more, rather than full POV all the time. I really want to do the back country Pyrenees. It's next on the list for sure 🤙

[@rossridesmtb7497]

Another cracking video! What an awesome location and great riding again from you. This trip might have broken you but it looks like you had a lot of fun doing it. Loving your latest content it feels like the quality just keeps getting better and better!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Ross. I really appreciate that. Going to a reduced schedule has meant I can do a lot more with the edits - I'm really pleased that folks like yourself are noticing that! It always gives me a bit more motivation to keep putting the big efforts in. Thanks as always mate 👍

[@kevinwood8021]

Fantastic natural trails, they are long descents must be muscle sapping 🤙great VLOG as ever.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Kevin. In truth I really struggled with the physicality. I don't think spending the week before the trip with covid helped! I feel like I want to get back when I'm 100%. A great experience nonetheless!

[@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB]

That was amazing! I thought the bit of trail after the 6 min mark was techy then it got even more savage on the next one 😅 some big rocks waiting to catch you out the sides! What a trip!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Aw mate. You and Tam would love it! I'm actually considering going again in April so if you'd like to join me 😜 It really was quite the adventure though. I really want to explore more places. Finale is defo on the list after your vids!

[@kammortensen2600]

Looks like an epic day on the bike. Great trail with great riding. Loved the video.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice one Kam. It was such a good day. I was so fatigued by the end!

[@ab_mtb]

Amazing vid mate. Trails look pretty savage. I would be riding so tight next to those drops, well done

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers mate. Some of those drops just came out of nowhere. It was cool looking back at the footage and being able to actually look at them in a bit more detail! 🤯🙈

[@JayRidesTrails]

Great video mate! 🤘 really enjoyed this one, and already looking forward to the next one 😃

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Jay! So many memories made. I need to get back out there!

[@JayRidesTrails]

Loving your videos, and seeing you do a euro holiday on the bike is awesome and is adding something else to my bucklist keep it up pal love the content and your style and approach

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Daniel! That means an awful lot I can assure you. I've always hoped that people enjoy the edits so it is great to get the positive feedback. Thanks so much bud 👍

[@garioch_gravel_rider7376]

Looks so good man! Heart was in my mouth on those ridge lines - looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip. Fantastic editing as always - 18 min edit felt like 18 seconds!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Aw man. Thank you 🙌 It's been cool to try and condense the edits so that they summarise the trails but are also engaging to watch. That's awesome that felt the edit did that. Thanks so much mate. Keep up the riding 🤙

[@alanmorton8459]

What an incredible place, the trails just seems to be never ending and the villages are stunning. You are doing some job showcasing the area and you have made me want to get out there. Good riding, great vid and you probably made the right call not going for "one more trail", when u r tired on blind trails things can easily go wrong. Can't wait for episode 3!!!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers Alan. You are spot on. They were definitely not the trails to be hitting when you are not riding at your best. Far too high-consequence IMO! Thanks for commenting bud. I'll be starting the next edit this week 😁

[@invertrialsbiker9391]

Looks like a great place to ride out there Jamie. Proper long mountain path descents. You're edits are so good mate love watching them 😀👍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Neil! I appreciate that as your edits are really good also bud. We'll defo have to get out together sometime - it'd be cool to try and follow you down some of your locals for sure!

[@invertrialsbiker9391]

@@streetpigeonmtb definitely mate keen for that 🤟. I'm hoping to be back down you're way at some point soon too😃

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Ah nice. Give me a shout 👍

[@rhettetherington1351]

Absolutely superb video Jamie. Trails look insane and the scenery amazing. Glad to see you having such a great time and riding so well. Looking forward to more.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Rhett. I have a couple more vids to come from Spain then I'll be back on it with Scottish vids. It was such a good trip mate 😁

[@A_AAA232]

cracking video and riding mate, superb

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thank you 😊

[@RobertBirchmore]

Enjoyed that one. Great job 👏. Best to keep away from that chilled red 🍷

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice. Great to see the infamous #trailmuncher on here! That chilled red is pure danger!

[@TrailTrackerSwitzerland]

Beautiful video Jamie. It was a long, physical day on the bike for sure. Better to take it easy and recover than provoke an incident by riding too tired.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers Darren. I was so gutted not to be able to ride every trail with you all. However, I really was struggling out there. Thankfully my fitness is coming back to me. I'm just back from a big enduro loop and feeling good. Hope you are good mate. I cannot wait to see your edits!

[@theslowrider]

scenery looks epic 🤩 another great video man! love your style!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. I've been working towards these edits for a few years now. It's hard to make them engaging but I was really pleased with all the Spain edits. I miss that place... even though it was pretty scary and tiring at times!

[@theslowrider]

@@streetpigeonmtb hear you well mate! I’m trying to improve my edit, but it’s tricky for sure! Keep doing great stuff 👊

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@@theslowrider best of luck mate 👍

[@theslowrider]

@@streetpigeonmtb thanks man :)

[@Mugtree]

Wonderful video as always. Trails look amazing

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks man. I'm glad you saw it. View numbers on this one are 💩 😭 KZbin has well and truly buried it. On the plus side I think it's a decent edit despite the views. I'm so pleased I can relive that trip 🥰

[@Mugtree]

@@streetpigeonmtb Yeap don’t know what happened as I was not notified by youtube. I had to search for it as I’d see your instagram post, nothing on youtube. It’s a shame as it’s a bloody good video. Hope the numbers improve 👍. Can you post it again?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Afraid not mate. It doesn't work like that 😔 It feels unfair when YT screws you. Unfortunately it's been doing it to most of my videos over the last week. Crazy. I'm sure it'll push my channel again at some point 🤞🤞🤞

[@Mugtree]

@@streetpigeonmtb yea that is very unfair as you have an amazing channel. 🤞 things improve very soon

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Cheers mate. Really appreciate that 👍

[@garyhutchin]

Another great video man!!!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice one Gary! I really appreciate that. It's so difficult to get content seen these days - people like yourself who watch and interact make a huge difference. Thanks man 👌

[@garyhutchin]

@@streetpigeonmtb No problem at all man, it's very apparent how much effort you put into what you do. You've definitely helped inspire me to push myself and get out of my comfort zone on the bike.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice mate. That's what it's all about. Cheers Gary. That means a lot ❤️

[@MacRaceyMTB]

Place looks insane 🤙🏻 The drop to the side would scare the living daylight out of me 😬

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah dude. It was a really cool place for sure and the terrain was challenging! You've gotta love new trails ❤️

[@juliaferguson7357]

Jamie, amazing wee vid 👌👌 so far removed from our home trails eh!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Julia. Totally! So good to ride something totally different although it took me about 3 rides to be confident on wet roots again!

[@lawrencebowden1794]

Hi Jamie. Which company did you use for the trip? Many thanks. Loz.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Basque MTB. They are really good!

[@andylanigan5267]

Wow techy as fella... those jaggy rocks look like they would tickle your ribs if you fell..good decision to call it.. poor wee bike will need a holiday after all this ha

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I know. The bike was wrecked... I was worse! Hope you are good mate. Have you been getting much riding in?

[@andylanigan5267]

@@streetpigeonmtb yes mate lots in the last few weeks, was up GT the last few days getting some ebike climbing in, got the Bosch race again this year so starting the training early.. the trails are in top condition atm too

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice bud. All the best for the race mate! 🤙

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Beautiful location nice riding Pigeon.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate 👍

[@wayneemslie8904]

Ace vid again! Lost count of the times you said "big drop to the left" 😆. Very well ridden though I have to say. Must've been mentally exhausting too. Do you know how these trails came about? Were they originally shepherd tracks or something? The lower down trails look very ancient.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hey Wayne! Thanks so much. I have to admit, I was so broken by the end of each day! As far as I know most of the trails are old walking/shepherding routes. I think that's what makes them so tricky to ride. They are not very sculpted like the normal trails you expect. Makes it exciting though! Glad you enjoyed the video mate 😁

[@rupertbrock417]

I enjoyed this as I always do with your videos. How did you find riding completely different trail types? Does it make you reevaluate your skills?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hey mate! Appreciate the kind comment. The different conditions were testing for sure, although I felt like I became comfortable relatively quickly. Interestingly I found the return to wet rooty trails more challenging! I rode like a total muppet when I got back home! 😆

[@MTB_Trekker]

Really awesome stuff mate, another place I wanna go 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Get it on the list mate!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hey Wayne. This message just popped up again despite me answering it yesterday?! Must be a KZbin glitch so I apologise about taking a while to respond. As far as I know the trails are mostly old walking tracks. They are definitely a lot less manicured than your average trail although there are the odd sections that are built up so to speak. It's a really fascinating place to ride. Lots and lots of history everywhere you look 😁
