Brilliant.
I've only visited once, but I love the Latrigg descent after Lonscale...however, I can't say I recognised it much in:
a: the Dark
b: the SnowNice graceful OTB vault at 3:13.
I haven't seen that much one foot down ski-biking since the beginning of the Megavalanche!

There's a bench near the summit of Latrigg and under normal conditions you can see a couple of trails descend from there. Through the trees, and you pop out near the bottom of Spoony Green Lane - which is an ice rink at the moment
I think the person who managed to stay upright more than anyone was Dave who made the vid !

And I'll stay on again next Tuesday thanks to the DIY antics on here.
Here's mine, tested last night (-8) in Whinlatter (which is mostly still deep powder btw).
Great on ice and frozzed snow, as sh*te as any tyre in deep snow, really really vague on tarmac at speed!. Might shorten the screws a bit.Posted 2 years ago # -
Haha - I missed that thread. That's a great idea.

SolidAir can lead the way then!
Showed the vid to the missus last night and she said that we are mental and or big kids!
When we landed @ the pub the barman said Have you been out in that!. When i told him yes and what we had done he told us that we are in need of professional help
Best laugh ive had in ages.

Nice.
Er, guys, was it a tad windy at the top of Latrigg or does the vid just exaggerate it a bit?
I think you are all flippin mental but I possibly mentioned that (or indeed screamed it, I forget) at the top of Skiddaw last May

Nice to hear from you again MAG.... It was very windy, in fact it was wind assisted on the way up to the bench, even through the snow. Bikes were almost flying! You`ll know what i mean

Yes but at least I didnt have ice to contend with on Skiddaw
I am mostly liking the DIY snow spikes too
Sounds like Ive got my "saturday project" now lined up Posted 2 years ago # -
