enjoy.............. 8)
nice vid but i thought you had to giveway to walkers even on a bw?
proper good video, good riding, obviously high standard of riders on a great day out and cracking music selection for the video.....
Reminds me of one of my own videos 😆
Excellent video and riding - but why necessary to swear at the runner - he did apologise after all?
Gang of blokes swear at a solo runner for "ruining their descent".
Lovely.
they've got some nice trails up there.. not that I should be allowed anywhere near that sort of stuff after my performance on sunday.. 😳
No need for the abuse the runner got at the start, even if you are in the right. 🙄
hmmm... some pretty fun looking riding spots, is it all filmed on the one route?
hey GW at least you can re watch the videos and dream about riding that sort of trail if you had more skill and travel on your hardtail! 😆
I know that runner (sort of) - he did apologise - particularly liked the child like comment when he was far enough away to not be able to hear. 🙄
Cool video and great riding skills 8)
GW yes
Davo perfect for hardtail round there.

i agree mate, very childish behaviour. 😀
tough guys......
Davo knob!
blower, where is it?
davo knob! is that your best GW? 😉
top tune .....lovin these vids !
Ha! I knew this vid would get abuse cos of them swearing at that runner, but in there defence he started giving them abuse first halfway down the track causing one fellow rider to nearly come off his bike!
Tighter than grandads balls is my favorite vid title.
The guy that sends it half way through is impressive.
= pin headThe guy that sends it half way through is impressive.
At least the runner dint ruin it for me you and Aryian eh Shag ha!
its in peaks GW
Two wrongs don't make a right.
All thats going to happen is he's going to go to his local running club and say he met a bunch of rude, aggressive w***ers who were on bikes.
We've all been tarred with that brush now, thanks.
Not all the routes on that vid look legal so can I suggest the less than aggressive attitude whilst riding other, more cheekier routes.
Nice vid, BTW.
be it right or wrong, one thing i have never and would never do, is confront someone out on the trail for something i deemed wrong.
walkers/cyclists/horseriders, we all go place we maybe should not.
i would however have told the runner to keep his nose out of my business, like i would expect someone to do the same to me, if i was telling them off for doing something i thought wrong.
From the looks of it most of it wasn't on bridleways other than the actual bit they got moaned at on. The bits I could pick out from my climbing days were Stanage, Burbage and Lawrence Field quarry.

POSTED 5 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST"
Very clever thing to do eh? 🙄
Great video. Seems like they are my type of lads to be fair, I'm a bit of a tit sometimes, I've heard. Would love to go out on a ride with that lot.
Quality vid (and riding skills) there Blower, top stuff mate.
Turned it off, because you seem like a bunch of morons.
You LADS, lets read FHM, go to benidorm punch a hooker! It's all good fun!
I bet your mother still does your washing.
Yeah, the rudeness shown to that runner who was man enough to apologise has actually made me give up cycling altogether, so thanks a lot you 'ooonts..... 🙁
they're clearly having a good time and sometimes a bit of banter or bravado etc comes into it. Give em a break you lot who throw stones...
Only once in the last 7 yrs have I been rude to someone out on the trails, I have regretted it ever since. 😳
On a riding front, as usual, I am impressed. Nice to see good bikes being used properly 🙂
Seem like a good bunch of lads! with some skills!
I agree with hexhamstu and elf.
No need for cowardly rudeness.
Best watched on mute
What is it with Stanage plantation Bridleway and getting 'told off' for being there?
I've been told off by a peak park ranger (before I showed him how to use his map) and I remember a few other threads on here of bike riders getting told they're not allowed on this footpath
Not sure I agree with the having a go at the runner though (Yes, I know it was partly banter on the riders side). Pointing out the bridlway sign, him apologising was as far as it needed to go IMO, the smug/stupid feeling factor from that should do enough I'd think personally
EDIT: just rewatched the start, didn't pick up on the initial 'rude' greeting of the runner first time around. I take some of what I said back
problem is what some of you gentler folk see as rudeness, up north we take it as a friendly greeting.......... 😉
At least they spoke to each other. In the south both parties would have avoided eye contact and said nothing.
Ace video guys.
Marcus - wouldn't mind knowing where some of that was (mail me 😉 ) - looks awesome!
ts perfectly legit to be where they were when he decides to have a go...so straight away im with the riders on this, they seem like a decent bunch of lads to me, obviously antagonised by the guy (childish remark maybe, but we all say things when pee'd off) and those videos the chaps produce give me great inspiration, i honestly think they should seriously consider doing them as a weekly thing for the STW massive, give all us bored people a glimmer of inspiration and really makes me want to get out and ride....
the guys are obvioulsy quite good on the bikes too from a homegrown sort of way, which makes it even more inspirational, as they are just like me or you, but egg each other on to take it to the next step, just shows most things are rideable with some practice and help, and having folk around to laugh at you 😆
i love these videos so please do keep on!
Great vid, I thought they were quite restrained given the attitude of the runner.
me too, yet another 'its my land' type thinker....i think they dealt with it fairly well, and to be honest id be calling him a dick to my mates once he walked away, its natural innit...
😆problem is what some of you gentler folk see as rudeness, up north we take it as a friendly greeting..........
Enjoyed that as usual - keep em coming.
Cheers to all who said its a good video,but rough n ready but does the job
If we made vid every week would become boring so better once in a while
I've bin so upset by that video and all the nastiness that I've bin up crying all night. 😥
I'm missing something here - where's the bit in the video where the runner has a go at the riders?
Actually - just watched for the third time, and apart from the slight sarcasm, you were vocally quite restrained until the guy had moved on. Probably all square at the end of it.
Still loved to watch the skills on show.

Thing is though Ton, you lot are southerners to me and I do swear so I'm not prudish by any stretch of the imagination, I probably swear too much, truth be told, but I just found the comments to the runner, after he'd apologised, a bit OTT.
Yeah, but what did the runner actually say/do to deserve any abuse at all? Is this a "you had to be there" thing or something?
Great riding, great trails...
'Unnecessarily rude' is kind of Ironic is it not?
The runner might be a c0ck, but you have done a great job of making yourselves look like c0cks at that point.
Complaining that someone "spoiled your descent" on a public right of way isn't going to win over many to the cause.
I ride down the stanage plantation and its a hoot but I also walk up it with the wife and kids and if half a dozen macho blokes came tearing down I would expect them to at the very least slow down when passing walkers, if not stop completely, it's not wide enough to pass people at speed.
The gates tend to spoil the flow of the descent quite a bit also. 🙄
I think it's all fine for you to slag us off because of how we spoke to the runner, but in all fareness, you wer'nt there and did not have to witness the abuse my fellow riders got from him, which is not caught on camera unfortunatly. This was why we got the camera out at the bottom, and yeh we were pissed off! He nearly knocked a rider off and was addament it was a footpath! This is happening all too much lately and tbh the sooner they open footpaths to all the better! Walkers never use to have a right untill they protested, it's about time we did, we cause just as much errosion as they do at the end of the day, i really do get annoyed when it bothers walkers so much! There's so much more to worry about in life than a cyclist riding a footpath, or perhaps people are just too cushed up in there own nice pleasent comfortable lives to not have anything more than that to worry about! Peace out! 😉
😆
Nice one Shag well put for us thicko Yorkshire morons 😀
Yes you had to be there,8 of the riders who was stuck behind him was peed off big time n yes 1 rider nearly got knocked off,
Maybe bit of humour we thought at filming him and putting on vid those who don't get it stop taking yer Choco Boy type pills 😆
Great vid, really makes me want to get out and ride! Also makes me want to get back to the peaks and ride up and over some big rocks, nice one. 🙂

Christ, I thought it was bleedin obvious!!
Looked like a great ride. If my skillz weren't shown up so much, just the sort of chaps to go riding with.
regarding the tags.......thicko yorkshire morons could (i suppose) replace the sweary northerners in my titles to these vids.
thanks for the inspiration [s]coward[/s] tagger........ 8)
Great video...thank you for posting it. Never a good idea to fight rudeness with rudeness, politely taking the moral high ground is a far better approach 🙂
Love the video,been watching the other vids that Blower and his mates have put on Vimeo,good work boys.Feeling inspired to ride down something steep now 😀 Keep 'em coming!
Christ, I thought it was bleedin obvious!!
Go on then, if it's so obvious explain what it is he said/did (with reference to the video).
looks like a lot of it was around mother cap, nice to see a bouldery type wandering past although we'd have kicked the arse of the bikers for making a mess on the gritstone 😆
Eh? there's nothing steep in the video 😕Feeling inspired to ride down something steep now

Well put...
some lycra clad chap can make you big scary norther gnar core boys look a bit rubbish. you need to get rid of the skill compensators and get a carbon road bike 😀
thanks for the inspiration coward
😕
GW to be fair there's nowt in that video that is steep apart from the quarry line( big **** off drop to the right) and maybe another one,which are fairly steep,.but on the other video's there is some proper steep stuff,but alas our dummy compact camera's dont do the lines justice.one of which is Parkin Clough or some steep ones in Hebbers and the Peaks and Wharncliffe.
cheers for the positive vibes on my shabby video editing and our filming skills.But music goes a long way in a video,somet that lets down alot of videos i say.
Superb riding, great skills. Not getting into the politics in this case. I walk too and have owned dogs, but was thoroughly pissed off in the Welsh Marches this weekend, by the woman with the small dog on the 60 foot lead who was shouting about where my bell was. I slowed to walking pace as I passed them, before putting the pedal down again. Good and bad in all camps I reckon.
I ****ing hate bell-endvangelists.
I love threads like this. You're all nobbers 😉
These vids make me chuckle, don't be put off by the 99.9% of smug whingebags on here, have you seen the shit posted on here as supposed mtbing, canal paths, bridelways in middle ****ing England etc, good to see some proper terrain ridden with panache. 😀
one thing is for certain..............the blokes who star and film these clips will not give a flying fornication about what the whingebags on here say or think.....trust me.
and the clips will hopefully keep coming. 8)
"What does it say here?"
"**** me, it says Lapierre not Orange!"
Haven't a scoob who's in the right or wrong, why would anyone think they can judge with absolutely zero context? Get a grip people.
I love the way some poeple moan about you guys making comments behind the runners back then put tags up slagging you off. 🙄
Just about sums this place up.
great vids BTW keep them coming.
Nice to see some of that fabled Northern friendliness. 😀
If only folk everywhere were as polite and tolerant of one another.
Unfortunately several people were nice and cheery and said hello to me and Khani in Epping Forest today. 🙁 Terrible. What's the World coming to, eh? 🙄
Wel I like the vids, and they seem like a good bunch. It's good to see people laughing and having fun on their bikes.
Nothing wrong with calling someone a dick if they're acting like a dick.
hexhamstu - MemberYou LADS, lets read FHM, go to benidorm punch a hooker! It's all good fun!
nowt wrong with Benidorm,dont slap hookers just shag em,and prefer the Daily Sport(the builders Bible) over FHM 😀
What about this Moron? 🙂
trails look ace.
almost as good as dartmoor.
excellent riding lads.
What about this guy?
He needs a downhill bike to do that little drop? 😕
Ahhh Elfin end of a days Downhilling in alps,and Mutziged up.was a larf like.
