    I feel like I’m watching (whisper it – a slightly better version of) Dirt again, excellent stuff! Just needs Jez Avery and a Pro Flex now…

    Hmmm, this full sus build…..

    Whenever I watch this stuff it just makes me want to go and ride a crap bike up/off/over/down stuff. Things are usually more fun when the equipment isn’t the most appropriate and there’s more chance of getting hurt!

    That’s taken me back 30 years to when I stared mounting biking.

    Bikes have changed, but the level of fun hasn’t.

    Love it 🙂

    Bars look a touch too wide though. Originals or modern compromise?

    I enjoyed watching this now as much as I would have done had it have been 1990.

    Great video.

    Agree with the Dirt style comment above 8)

    Would have taken some serious bottle to have ridden than on a pair of 540mm (or less) bars.

    I’ve got some 520mm bars in the shed 😯

    Brings back memories of my mate dragging me on mtb rides 20 years ago from Brighouse over Denholme & Bingley & ending up at the Shipley Glen cafe hoovering up beans on toast Then trying to figure out the least hilliest way home.

    I suspect the ones at Ilkley seeing as a big chunk of the video is shot on Ilkley Moor. ^I can’t see any Embsay Crag bits^

    Mongoose had the bike on their stand at crankworx, it’s not as ‘old school’ as it first appears…

    For some reason Brant and Ilkley Moor are tied together in my mind. MBUK article…?

    Starts off on Skipton Moor then Embsay Crag where I used to ride my Clockwork in the early 90’s

    Starts up above Skipton, Embsay, then Ilkley Moor, then Baildon Moor mixed in with Harden Moor.

    Baildon Moor and Harden Moor used to be my old stomping ground off road on this. The jumps were not quite as big in the quarry back in the day

    That’s taken me back 30 years to when I stared mounting biking.

    (except for the river crossing bit) That’s pretty much exactly how and what I still ride.
    is it time to move on? 😕

    hope not.

    I thought I recognised that cairn at the start, then definitely clocked the location when he goes through the old quarry. 😆
