Video: Sweary Northerners

by 0

At the moment, we’re having some unseasonably dry, blue-skied autumn weather up here in Yorkshire. The thought of riding through crunchy leaves is making me want to get up from this desk and leave this building right now. Here are the Sweary Northerners enjoying some of it near Sheffield. The video is, just as advertised, sweary.

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.
