Couldn't see any mention of this. Fantastic riding as always. No motor. New video from GT:

Like that. Makes it all look sooo simple. They should really seel shit loads of those GT's on the back of him riding them, he really makes them look such a capable bike, but he doesn't seem to get the exposure of others like Danny Mac.

Ilkley Moor is looking dry. Glad they banned disposable BBQs.

I think you need to be a mountain biker to appreciate how good Chris Akrigg is. Danny Mac's vids have enough flair and inventiveness that most of them appeal to non-bikers too

I was going to go out for a ride later but I am knackered after watching that. I think @richmtb hit the nail there. You can only really appreciate how tough that is if you have ridden a mountain bike

Or a trials bike! I'm rubbish on mine but there's a few bits in that video that I think I could maybe do, given enough attempts, and maybe scaling it down a bit!

The way he just glides up and over rocks the height of an adult. Love it!

The location is a mountain-bike-riding-wannabe-trials-rider's wet dream. Would love that on my doorstep, alas never gonna be.
