The silver handlebars - did they come off your mom's shopper?

Liking the Hovis 'aged' look at the begining.

Does anyone have a name for that trail coming down from Pecket Well to the Hardcastle Crags car park? It looked a bit steady to be honest - best enjoyed at high speeds, that trail.

Those bars are twenty quid specials from 13 years ago, don't knock them they have served me well

Can't watch the vid at work but the trail (depending on which one it is) is called Peckett Well A or B. Catchy name eh?

Fortunateson - we're steady cos with setting the camera you don't have chance to build up a head of steam. Set camera, push up just out of shot, ride... Plus we'd just pushed all the way up from the bottom so we were knackered

Nice to see "nice and sensible" riding for once instead of fancy skids and wheelies
Good vid.

We can't do skidz and wheeliez

Oh dear. Sorry Pook, gotta say it but I didn't think it was very good
Awful music. Pushing through Heptonstall at the start (WTF?), nothing to excite me.
Have a look for the videos by Yorkshire Lad who sometimes posts on here to see how its done.
Plus your rides must be knackering and dead short if all you do is run up and down stuff videoing yourself?

DaveyBoyWonder it was a nice bit of fun. Although I rode up from Hep to the top. Its bloody hard if you do it with no warm up whatsoever at the start of ride.
Posted 2 years ago # -
thanks for the comments DaveyBoy as I say - all welcome.
Awful music? Personal preference I guess. Relaxed track reflected a relaxed ride - guess you had to be on it to know that though. Oh, and the Hovis music. Bit of fun taking the mic out of the push up in Hep.
No, our rides aren't knackering nor dead short. Sometime they're long and filmed. Maybe I'm just quite fit.
Can't find any of Yorkshire Lad's vids online I'm afraid. I'll happily be "shown how it's done" though. Please feel free to link to one for me.

that hora's one sexy homeboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and it looks like it was filmed with a phone. Sorry, I love watching riding videos, especially home grown ones and even more especially ones from where I live. Doesn't show Calderdale riding in its best light
Want a nice warm up Hora? We often start a ride with the climb from the Co-Op to Horsehold. And then drop down and climb up through Callis Woods. And pushing is punished by death...

Nice vid (Norgates). Does this mean if I personally film something I have to have it quality-checked first before I can post it up?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Not only did I push up that hill but I stopped more than once for a breather as well. Who cares? I had a laugh even though I'm not as awesome as you.
Your snobish attitude doesn't show calderdale residents at their best

I think it looks great, and I'd be happy to ride with hora, pook and thepodge because it looks like a bit of a laugh! That other vid, sure looks nice, but the riding is never anything I'd achieve and I probably wouldn't enjoy it. pook's vid gets my thumbs up for the inspiration

Just a correction- We started the ride from the Turning circle and rode straight up to the top of the cobbles in Hep. Thats hard as a warmup at the beginning isn't it! We did 3 of these such climbs in that vid. Slow but it got us to the nice bits
One thing to note- riding down the face/top back down to the turning circle again- you know where you turn hard right rather than bringing you out by the pub? (no idea on its name) - someone had lodged large stones across the singletrack which meant podge had a faceplant. If he had tried jumping them he'd have taken his head off with a lowish large branch. **** who did that
Posted 2 years ago # -
cheers kit - that's why i do them!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Yeah we moved the stones but it won't stop someone doing it again so keep em peeled people

got to agree with davey boy i hate been negative but its a little dull.
been a hebdenite im blessed with a good local knowledge .stubbing wharf thursday 7.30pm there is always a ride from there for anyone wanting to see how its done stw guys attend so never sure if its an open invite & they probably always think who this riding with us but they always seem happy for me to tag on .
i don,t always attend as i ride a different town every thursday to cover all areas our group is from .
Posted 2 years ago # -
it's this "wanting to see how it's done" i don't get.
surely, "how it's done" is however you bloody well like to, as long as it's on a bike and you're having fun???
Perhaps I've been riding my bike incorrectly for the past 25 years.

stubbing wharf thursday 7.30pm
I'm not sure if I can. I promised to marry two Hebdenites daughters and I changed my mind and left with the Dowries...
There are currently men on horses roaming the hills looking for me
