[Closed] A video of Brian the Border and myself riding around Gisburn

that's ace. nice one. what a cool dog!

that's a really good little video, made me smile all the way through
if I was being critical, I think it's maybe twice as long as it needs to be and needs a start and an ending, something involving the dog maybe

Cheers guys,

I was intending on going back and doing the start and end but just wanted to get it finished today. The pup was suffering by the end and I was glad that I bailed to get him patched up. It was a cracking day out tho but a little too warm and dry for the dog.

I'll try harder on the next one..

thanks for the comments tho

my kind of video that is. really lovely, and well put together. you'd perhaps hit idave's suggestions by clipping the clips a bit tighter, but i don't think it needs it. some lovely shots (flowers, close focus stuff) good work old chap

I liked that, a cut above the normal downhill towpath helmetcams you see on here.

"Brian and I"....

"Brian and me" actually

That was great.

Smart Dog you have there, he knows just when to get off the trail and let you past.

good stuff, loved brian, makes me think about getting a dog again!

Like that and I think mtb vids always seem better with a chilled backing track - much better vibe.

How old is Brian - I bet he was knackered by the end ?

vvvv good

Is that the same Brian who provides entertainment for volunteer trail builders? Good to see him letting his hair down 😉

liked it... good choice of music too.. can't beat a little bit of Manu Chao

Very good, it must have taken hours to do

Woody, Brian is two years old this month, we started taking him running/jogging and now biking since he was a year old.

Innes, My worst fear was running my own dog over, so when Brian and I went out on our first ride together I would deliberately touch him with the front wheel so he now stays behind the rear wheel or takes off in front.

John, it did indeed take me a while but the hardest part was choosing the backing tracks!

cheers for the comments

Pretty good that Scottly, you and Brian fancy a spin in the lakes on Sunday? That's assuming I can get this ****ing hub fixed!

Sorry Wozza, Brian and I are too damn fast for you punk. Unlucky. However I can can go riding in the lakes as I'll hold back for ya so you can keep up.

Top!

One day that'll me Mr&MrsMM with Ted 😉

"Brian and me" actually

"Brian and I", surely?

Nice vid. How long a run can you take these dogs on, they seem to be really happy to just run and run, glad you are able to spot when he needs to bail out 🙂

Excellent stuff Scott! I love the way Brian waits for you to go by at the top of The Staircase, and then hangs back behind you on the sandy climb. Also superb choice of camera angle on the zig-zags at 4:32. I suppose now we're going to have to start calling you "Spielberg" on dig-days... 😉

Couldn't agree more on the vibe thing! It also makes a pleasant change to be able to hear a bit of the ambient sound rather than just some rad-to-teh-power-of-sick dood's choice of thrash-hip-gangsta-hop cacophony. Then again, maybe it's just my age... 8)

Nice little Video and homage to Borders mine loved to follow us on the bikes. If we adopt Jake he'll be taught to follow bikes too.

I hope you've corrected hollwood for their film titles too. It's a title of a movie so can be anything the creator decides.

coffeeking,

Brian will run and run and then run a little more. The GF and I take him out a few times a week jogging and he keeps up no problem. I try and keep the rides to less than 2hrs as he starts to flag a little but after a short rest, 5minutes, he's up and running again.

Tony, I think I'll be needing a directors chair at the next dig and Brian will be more than happy to sign autographs lol

cheers for the kind words guys

nice vid scott , but have a word with brian he,s not railing the berms on home baked enough
