The pro ones are pretty incredible riding, but are there any videos shot by amateurs that you rate? I quite like this guy (Barry Godin), but most of his stuff is off Facebook these days:

Wondering if there are any others that inspire you to go out and ride!

Yup, I'm at work at the moment so can't link up youtube but my favourite amateur cycling video of all time is the two lads off their faces gurning like cows cycling whilst wearing nylon, next to a great big pylon. lol.

This is the vid that started my craving for a POV cam:

EDIT: it now has the GoPro splashscreen. Still 'amateur' tho IMHO.

I have some very amateur footage I may share some time. Caught a couple of your offs though not brilliantly. Must have been looking for rare butterflies 🙂

I love that one too. We're riding along singing a song

I'd be very interested in seeing these! Especially the couple of times I tried to kneel down in the stream. 🙁

Still giggle at "The Craig Burton Show"

Want to see this video!

Sounds about right for Curious Yellow, he loves spending random time checking out the flora and fauna, normally just after a spectacular dismount

Check out this one. A few local lads enjoying some great trails and an awesome soundtrack

@milkie - paste 'riding along singing a song' into google and it's the first result with a lads face gurning.

Craig Burton show has just had me howling- although it serves to prove the point of don't make out you're good at something unless you actually are! His death grip on the rear brake and rigidity in his body was hilarious.....although if it was a mate of mine to be honest I wouldn't have taken him to Antur first ride out.....I would have tested him on a local trail so he didn't break himself as bad as this guy did......unless you gate him of course 😆
