Those 26" wheels were really holding them back 😉

Lummox. it's strange you should say that given it appears to be exactly the terrain where a 29" wheel would offer a material benefit. Not saying they would have more fun, just that a bigger wheel would roll over the rocks better. But then it's not a race so by and large it's irrelevant who is faster.

"Were the ****ing oldest,childs" ...Sums up my riding as well 😀

would have been better if you sung the theme tune instead of the gangta rap.

It's been a long time since the last one so thanks to ton for posting.

Great riding skills that always make one feel inadequate, didn't like the rubbish music though.

Look forward to more and please don't take as long!

Considering they are blessed with such beautiful country, always makes me wonder why northerners are such miserable buggers. 😀

A bit of pastoral Vaughan Williams would have been nice.

That's not the standard 4 passes..

POSTED 15 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

I would say the first section they are riding isn't involved in the 4 passes?
Maybe this was a different day of their weekend.
I would say that first section looks like they were riding down from the red pike?
Very good descent never the less. 8)

Thanks for that always provides a bit of inspiration to get out there and be one of the "oldest child's".

Jimbob (editor and Euro Enduro commenter) knows his tunes so wind back through his 103 vid archive and you'll be guaranteed to find some music you like and some you don't. Like this....

Another mint edit - generally the only ones I bother to watch now every Tom, Dick and Harry has a GoPro. Great scenery, trails and riding.
