... then it must be one hell of a line. Slightly insane stuff from Gee.
Nice bit of environmental vandalism for a 3 minute YouTube sensation.
🤦
You're going to love what they've done lower down the hill purely for the benefit of making money out of people's leisure time...

That's used by many people though, not just for 1 bloke for 1 video to sell his new brand.

Gotta say that was my first reaction too.
Some of their videos are great, the way Hard Line has evolved is great. This isn’t. IMO.

You should probably stop now before people start posting various different trails that have been build just for one offs
It's a bit of grass. I'm sure they can put it back...

TBH I read that and this immediately came to mind.
It’s a bleak mid-Wales hill with a conifer plantation on it. I don’t think the minimal biodiversity of the place is going to be too bothered by Gee and Dan scraping a bit of turf to one side for a few months in the summer.
Awesome speed and commitment, other level stuff.
That last drop at the end of the film......jeeez!
should have hucked it over the steep side looked like it had a decent transition/landing area
Actually makes me feel a little queasy watching that.😣
Id be bricking it on a fire road at that speed
Brilliant. 👍🏻
I love the One Shot up there 👆
The top is mellow, mellow, mellow, backflip. But it’s the bike change that gets me.
That's absolutely wild.
I have to admit that when he crashed and his bike went flying, I kind of wish it had gone flipping over the edge. Just out of morbid curiosity. I bet you couldn't replicate that kind of crash in a lab. Then they could just print another one.
I see his pet peregrine is flying with him again!
Awesome, but please show us the one shot all the way down uncut from the drone following.
What a stunning video - start to finish. Amazing.
Awesome, Nice to just have chilled strings as a soundtrack too.
It's videos like this and the Akrigg one that make you realise how much GoPros and drones have enabled filming and cinematography that only a few years ago would have only been available to big budget film makers
Literally open mouthed watching that! Stunning.
That One Shot video is now my all time favourite bike video. What a beautiful, mellow, simple inspiring and awesome film.
That drop on the left made my teeth itch.
Nice video and great scenery. Not sure how we walks and sits down with balls that big?
There's a kid local to me, one of the flattest areas in the country, 17 year old from here had the same time as Gee on the last World Cup round. I'm amazed. Gee must've stopped for a smoke half way down or something 😆
Amazing! Great path too. I’m more annoyed by the 4x4’s driving to the top of the mountain than the thin line of earth uncovered. Presumably it’s on open access land so we’ll all be able to have a much more restrained go at it?
It isn't peat bog which is sensitive to small amounts of damage. Presumably they made the jumps big to minimise the environmental impact.

I very much doubt it. They made the jumps big because it looks good on film.

In the eye of the beholder and all that, but it looks quite pretty to me. Presumably the track was dug out down the LH ridgeline? (I assume it's this one, as I can't see any other similar features above Dyfi Bike Park.)
Did they say they'd repaired it once they'd finished filming?

Yep agree with that.

If that bugs you, wait until you see what's been done to Wales in the name of sheep farming

Oh im glad its not just me whos first thought was that. No one over on pink bike seemed to notice.
glad i dont get my rides disturbed by a constant fizzing noise too :p
#grumpytrackworld
Oh STW please please stop being such, well.... muppets ! Of all the damage being done by humans in the world this absolutely borders on completely irrelevant. IT's not like the shot a load of buffalo and dug up animal dens.
Epic video, awesome stuff.
Why is he wearing his sister's school uniform socks?
People in glass houses RD.....
Should go to a friends house to poo.

Well it's clearly not?!
There isn't much upland Britain and I don't think this is the way to treat it.
The Bike Park below is fine IMHO

I thought the same - I reckon the only reason they didn't do this is because it wasn't ever done in one run. Maybe that crash made them miss that out.
That was awesome
Looking at the instagram post of this it would appear that there’s quite a few roads/paths heading up to this ridge.
Here's the summit:
