    Wow, jaw dropping countryside hooliganism. That tree trunk drop at the end is ridiculous

    If you take a look again on the last tree trunk drop as he rolls along it his rear wheel slips off but lands on a small branch, how he holds his nerve is crazy.
    Best all round rider imo.

    I am in awe of the man’s core strength. Great stuff!

    I’ve been to a lot of those places and never even seen those lines never mind ridden them.

    Bonkers but brilliant

    +1 his composure is amazing, no idea how he just stays calm, pops the wheel back up and carries on! Crazy, crazy guy!

    The hop onto the rock to slow nose manual, and later over the stone gate/wall are just insane… Amazing.
    😯

    I just love how he does it all on a standard trail bike too. Rad.

    A bit disappointing that they didn’t get this lined up for last night…

    TBH I thought it was disappointing compared to his last vid. This was just trials riding outdoors, with too many obviously setup scenes.

    My local trails but not ridden the way I ride them! Akrigg is always great to watch.

    WOW again!

    Wonder how well this works out for Mongoose though. Never see any Mongoose bikes out on the trails….
    Either way, keep the vids coming!

    Too many skids for a man who has such bike control. 🙁

    Only in STW….

    Amazing video, leaving me inspired yet grounded in the reality that I’ll never manage even 2% of what he does. Still, great to dream!

    Much preferred that to the last one with the 5 helmets (seemed too contrived). This latest one is just pure skills on some quality trails

    How…just amazing. Plus huge respect to the guy after that nasty accident , I know it was a while ago but some of the things in that vid take big balls ever for a rider as good as him.

    got to be right. If he cant ride it possibly no one can. The normal bike is what does it for me…incredible

    however, just makes me feel a bit rubbish

    Love the endos around and down the steep corners

    I’m surprised how few mongooses are out on the trails tbh. Easily as good as most other brands.
    Obviously don’t charge enough for them.

    Can you actually buy a Teocali in the UK anymore?? 😕

    Not sure you can get them in the UK anymore – did a google search, which produced nothing.

    I’ve actually had two over the years – 2006 Teocali Super, which the frame cracked on (the frames of this vintage had a couple of weak points).

    Got a 2009 Teocali Super frame as replacement, which also cracked after a couple of years.

    Both were great to ride (especially the ’09 one)

    I had an ’06 that cracked too, only found it when I stripped it down to sell the frame. Nice to ride but the dog bone linkage bearings lasted about 2 minutes so it constantly rattled!

    Didn’t you have one Simon?

    I love this type of video as much of what he rides can be ridden by us mere mortals, except Chris does it much much much much much better (than me anyway)!!

    😆 it was yellow, some of the STA trail builders got me the frame while I was injured after dislocating my elbow.

    On the 09 they changed the design of the lower linkage to be fully machined all the way through.

    When the needle bearings went on my 06 frame I managed to find a bloke online who had done his own mod to fix it – this involved a full straight through bushing.

    Mine lasted for the remainder of the life of the bike (about 2 years) – my brother still has an 05 Teocali which also got the bushing mod – still running fine after 5 years use
