    Nice, conditions looked a bit of a nightmare. Will be riding cutgate in new year! Hopefully just after a bit of a freeze to dry things up a bit.

    Looks a bit too gnarly for your average mincecore-lite XC gnarpoonerist. More yellow and turquoise required for a successful Enduro assault, I reckon.

    Do you think he thought it was gnarly ? I can’t tell
    LOL

    Just watched with the sound off. Am I missing some entertainment?

    Line choice at 3.30 is the kind of thing that I do. 🙂

    What the hell was he going on about? It just looked like a braided pile of crap to me.

    To be honest, that line choice at 3:30 is actually the fastest way down

    He just bottled it 🙂

    When has an armoured path ever been gnarly 🙄

    I love videos like that. They remind me that I’m not as much of a mincer as I think I am.

    It’s not armoured

    There’s some slabs at the top, near the water table, reminiscent of how the old pack horse trails were laid out and some waterbars on the last descent but other that it’s all natural

    All natural/f**ked!

    He’d do a lot better if he stopped rabbiting so much.

    Which one of these two was it, though?

    Makes me feel a lot better about my mincing, though.

    Sounded like he was enjoying himself immensely, imagine the story that turned into in the pub that evening!

    No way could I give a running commentary on the way down anything remotely technical. Or even gnarley. Unless I just minced down it of course

    Well that demonstrates very nicely how trails get trashed.

    “Oh, I’ll ride on the grass, not on one of the 25 existing other lines created by other numpties who also can’t be arsed to ride the existing lines”

    …and we’re then all up in arms when a “classic trail” gets sanitised, despite the fact that we’re as responsible for the damage as any other user group

    As for the mincing on any of the mildly technical bits. 🙄

    Bluntly, and as has been pointed out on here many times before. If it’s even slightly wet, stay off Cut Gate. Fine in midsummer, fine if its frozen, the rest of the time – just let it be.

    I’ve had plenty of those “shitshitshit gonna die!” moments meself – horrendous looking conditions but he seemed to be enjoying himself – good on ya, sweary Northern dude.

    Obviously he now needs to be flamed for not manualling casually through every section (or Mincing as I believe the pro’s say) and not always hitting the “correct” line 🙄

    Aye, put a smile on my face, that did. Couldn’t give a monkeys chuff how he rides his bike, he seems to be having more fun than most 😀

    In his defense that footpath at the end (3:10) where he goes straight on is really REALLY REALLY steep. And he was going fairly quickly up until the water bars, it’s not the easiest trail to keep speed up on as until that point there’s not a huge gradient so you’ve got to pedal and it’s all narrow and a challenge keeping it in the rut/line.

    I’m saying nothing about his riding because I’m about the same level 🙂

    No excuses for gnarly, shred and booya though

    I watched the whole thing and laughed the whole way through. It captures what biking is about. Fun. That guy’s certainly having plenty.

    I think it means the same as “Smurf”, going by how much he says it.

    Well that demonstrates very nicely how trails get trashed.

    You realise you could’ve written all that on his YouTube comments?

    Quite enjoyed that, and yes, he was a bit mincey compared to some of the videos we see on here. He still rode loads more of it than I did last time I was there though! 🙂

    Is that “Cutgate pass?” I wouldn’t mind giving that a go..where about is it?

    Enjoyed that! Great entertainment! I think STW should club together and buy the guy a weeks holiday somewhere proper gnarly (love to hear him attempt the infamous “La Varda” trail in les Arcs for instance…. 😉

    I would just like to say after originally watching this with the sound off! It puts it into a totally gnarly perspective with the sound on! 🙄

    You sure this isn’t warner taking the piss? Sounds like one of his World Cup commentary runs.
