Chris - Great video We do need to get out and make a proper film Maybe when it warms up a little...

Nice to see I didn;t look totally stupid riding down the beast on that

nice one chris 🙂

just been looking at the vids in your profile will. good stuff 🙂

many thanks mr punk. I do need to get another one done soon.

beast stuff not used:

What's with so many taking the high line on the beast, James I seen you and Will didn't spot you taking it I really hope not.

Yeah only two of you took a decent Man's line down the Beast (Grrr) 😀

Was there a guy on a cross bike? I suppose he had an excuse for avoiding the rocks, as for the others....
😈

hang on hang on - i went down the middle, but you didn't see cos I was the cameraman

😀

Yeah the guy on the CX bike can be excused! Did Jon on blue santa claus hardtail) get into DHer mode at all?

(he was a bit of DHer in a previous life although he denies it...I've seen him ride pretty darn quickly mind)

Filmed on an ATC2/3k?

yep - bobbins isn't it?

I think I took the middle line, judging by that footage if I am in fact the bloke you only see for about an 8th of a second.

Now I'm sure it was just that Chris wasn't ready with the camera but I prefer to blame it on my being so immensely fast that he physically couldn't pan quick enough.

Yeah, that'll do.

Though I did choose the wimpy high-line as we dropped from Lockerbook to Ladybower (much to the annoyance and well deserved disdain of a couple of the others) but lets not talk about that...

I wouldn't say bobbins, but has that characteristic wobble 🙂

They're actually amazing if you're not vibrating too much (i.e. watersports).

And I can't believe anyone's challenging Will's line choice 😀 The man was on an SS crossbike! Every line is a man's line on that machine!

Just followed your thread, and watched a bunch of your videos 🙂

They reminded me that mud so deep, slippery and claggy doesn't last all winter, and I'm looking forward to the frost tonight!

Thanks for the great show!

Ah that was Will I did wonder, he did seems to try to have a go before moving over.

I out-wimped everyone by avoiding all lines on the Beast and keeping Derek company on Potato Alley instead. Was dead impressed by Will's ability to ride that thing over pretty much everything.

Tune please

and when was this? did you happen to see a guy with a camera and tripod just a bit further up from the lumpy bit (shown on one of the stills at the start)?

The tune? Why it's the theme from Cheers Mr Bomberman sir.

oh, and Hoops by the Chemical Brothers

This was on the 5th. i didn't see anyone, but i was too bsy extracting my chain from its cassette/spoke interface to notice

😳

just what exactly ARE those animals at the top of crookhill farm... bisons? yaks? (bulls?! )

Highland cattle I think.

cheers Pook

They're cows. 😯

Nice vid, in fact I don't think I've seen a bad one from you yet.

Respect to the guy on the CX bike...

What's the second song btw?

Thanks guys! 😀 Appreciate the comments. My hands did hurt so much when I got to the bottom 🙄

cheers Paddy - it's hoops by the chemical brothers

Thanks!

I can't hear the music as i'm at work. however as with all your videos chris, I will assume the music is top quality stuff.

Dunno about man's line down there , first time down the beast for me so i think i just got down in one piece , which is o.k by me.
