Great skills, i don't think Flow and others know how steep some of that stuff is.
I'd love to ride with these guys, I reckon it would be a crackin day on the bike.

If you think that is decent riding you need to get out and ride more. I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks this either.

I would love to, sadly I live 298 miles away. I will post a vid up of me riding though, show you how real men ride, I'm not hiding anywhere.

FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Music was a bit....... well, shandy drinker
Flow - pls post the video and keep up the banter. A video-scrap will be great to watch and better than trawling YT.
shaggmeister, be careful what you offer (pictures half of stw turning up in Hebden on friday to learn some skills)!
For non-pro riding there's a high level of skill in these vids and well above the average of most riders I see. I'm sure there will be a few folk who can ride stuff better, but they will be a minority.
Keep them coming.
I love the vids. Never met 'em but seen a lot of their stuff on vimeo. To me they seem a good bunch of lads who have a good mixture of ages/abilities in their group. Go out in all weathers, lots of enthusiasm, big balls and have a good laugh.
I've ridden a lot of the hebden stuff and the vid's don't the terrain justice..it's a lot steeper and rockier than it looks..oh and very greasy/slippy for 9 months of the year too!
Keep the vid's coming lads!

"It's a shame you don't get Northern Banter."At what point did 'banter', which i always took to mean ribbing of mates and their abilities (or lack of), turn into 'look at me i'm swearing because i'm on camera'?
I was simply using the same term Rupert used when he was saying he didn't understand it old boy.
But maybe you are right, I'm sure those Lovely Boys only swear because they are on camera 🙄
If the camera was off I'm sure he would have said something like.
"Crikey ! That was close, but I made it all the same !".

Quite by co-incidence Rupert appears to live in Hebden as well. Perhaps he'd like to take you up on your offer?
Nana could have ridden that at 2:45
and she's 'not been with us' for a while 
I'm only tekkin piss, being in t'valley I'd like to go for a ride with you guys some day
show you how to get on
Proper inspired to go out and get dirty now, would love to ride with those lads. Well done and keep em coming, ta!
Oh yeah, video fight!!!
What's Happened fo Flow's video then ?
I was looking forward to that 😐
[url= http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Chris-Kovarik-with-Summer-of-Summit-2011.html ]Here[/url] it is.. 😉
WARNING contains swearing (but no northern mincing I'm afraid)
Come on Flow, let's see the goods!
Here it is..WARNING contains swearing (but no northern mincing I'm afraid)
That's awesome. Having ridden/minced some of that stuff it's mental to see how much faster it can be done by a decent rider 🙂
What's the name of that 'professional' freerider who used to post one of his EXTREME RIDING VIDEOS on here every so often and then would get a slagging for 5 or 6 pages?
flow- 😆
Elbry sandland?
That's the one. Is he still on here?
I'm only tekkin piss, being in t'valley I'd like to go for a ride with you guys some dayshow you how to get on
get out wi us then?
yep at 2:45 i was mincing and **** around should have ploughed through it like i used to, would have done a year back but alas,thats all i do now is mince,as cant ride for shit nowadays,lost all mi confidence to what i used to have no sh!t 😕 all in the upstairs department
at least i put mi mincing on eh eh ha!
it aint a manicured downhill run though.its a stream bed
<is watching this thread and waiting for some good videos from flow>
i reckon shag and blower have called flow's bluff and frightened him off. 😆
shredders 1 flow 0
Good stuff once again lads.
Waaaaay above my skill / confidence level.
Keep on posting.

GW- i suppose your living 298miles away aswell, ha, What we ride is slow steep tech stuff, thats how we get our kicks, some riders are good at fast smooth tracks wi great jumps, while we prefer more challenging terrain, different ball games for different riders. We're not pros at the end of the day, and also not afraid to show our crashes. The videos are raw and havent been tainted up nicely, makes it more REAL! get yersen out wi us and show ya face and show us how its done, wi out mincing of course! 😉 pleeeze! 8) be a great vid! 😉
Flow died yesterday sending it for his new video, Kerbdroppin.
Nah he didn't really. He's got a sweet ride too so this anticipated vid should be super radepic.
that video,the lines are one takes not practice perfect like normal video's so the riding int spot on,unless we minced then as you can we we banged it on.
cheers everyone else who likes the video's anyway-peace out 🙂
Section!!
blower, are you coming on the xmas do?
yeah i think so 8)
bringing 2-3 of the DRR too,
tell em to get ready for some drunken wrestling...... 😉
haha,as long as its not with you,
I like Blower's [url=
Clough video[/url] best.
Inspired me to go find it and give it a try about 3 months ago. Glad I did. What a crackin descent!!!
I genuinely take my hat off to you fella for hitting it at that speed.
ahhh cheers Ecky!!
thats when i was riding ok and not mincing 🙂
Blower - that's some riding and like the jump/manual over the steps at the end. Its a pity that video's cant give a true reflection of just how steep that must be as your skill makes it look almost too easy. We need to see some standard riders wobbling down the whole thing to really appreciate that.
Love the vid's
No idea how many miles away I am, (nr Edinburgh if you wanna work it out). I have ridden Wharncliffe and loved it, it's a great wood/area with so much in a small space and easy/short push ups, if it were closer I would def spend a lot of time there, I no doubt will ride there again some day, no idea when. From what I've seen/ridden, Wharncliffe does have some nice techy lines and is a hell of a lot of fun but IMHO (for me) it's really not all that steep! fortunately I have much steeper/techier descending a frction of the distance away. I do like big jumps, fast/rough/steep/slow as long as it's fun/challenging it's all good. 8)GW- i suppose your living 298miles away aswell, ha, What we ride is slow steep tech stuff, thats how we get our kicks, some riders are good at fast smooth tracks wi great jumps, while we prefer more challenging terrain, different ball games for different riders.

Thanks for the offer (genuinely). I'm happy to meet up if I'm ever going there anyway (I like do the look of a lot of what you ride and good local knowledge is invaluable for a good day out anywhere new). I'm not a big fan of being video'd or even photographed TBH. got enough mates locally obsessed with making gash mtb videos I'd rather just be riding 😉
if you're ever up SE Scotland(ish) way give me a shout and if I'm free I'll try to return the favour.
Fair play GW,wharny aint steep no dont think we said it was,,only in places but if you dont know the place's,then its hard to find.been going there for many years now and still find somet new every time i go.and its fairly local to me.
some of the lines on the other videos are from wharny n steep secions,but the stuff in Hebeden is far steeper,the one where i go over the bars "thrills spills" is one of em,but on jimbobs and shaggy's shows em off bettter.
parin clough is a steep ****er on the straight line,but still looks nowt on video.
GW theres some stuff they did near inners cheeky stuff a local who told em about it which they rode bit back which was meant to be steep they said.think going back up maybe start of next year to do it again.
loads of stuff in inners area you'd like, you def need a local to help you find a lot of it. like I said give me a shout. could be nice n snowy when you're up too 😉
may take you up on that offer then,as local knowledge is the way forward same as down here.
if you look on jimbobteds video's one called "Tweed" thats some of the stuff,you may know it?
