If you like videos with no music except for the sweet melody of tyres, dirt and hubs, this might be for you. If you want to be able to manual, but can’t, then it will definitely make you jealous. If roost gets your dander up, it’s probably not the video for you. One thing is plain though, Reece Wallace is an absurdly talented rider.

Countdown to roost outrage; 3, 2, 1…Reece doesn’t spend much of the video in focus, and that’s not really through any fault of the camera person. He’s just very fast.
David started mountain biking in the 90’s, by which he means “Ineptly jumping a Saracen Kili Racer off anything available in a nearby industrial estate”. After growing up and living in some extremely flat places, David moved to Yorkshire specifically for the mountain biking. This felt like a horrible mistake at first, because the hills are so steep, but you get used to them pretty quickly.
Previously, David trifled with road and BMX, but mountain bikes always won. He’s most at peace battering down a rough trail, quietly fixing everything that does to a bike, or trying to figure out if that one click of compression damping has made things marginally better or worse. The inept jumping continues to this day.
