    Meh. Utah desert. That’s a different sort of skill and scale to what you ride. Sedona rocks? Yeah, very clever and all that, but at least you can feel …

    I don’t know what makes you think I think I can ride.

    I can pedal vaguely on a good day

    How on earth does he get grip on those slimy rocks? I’d have been off on the first one.

    Mind you there were a few clips of him pushing, which I could relate to.

    Some of the grip was from a bit of piste grooming before getting the shot. As it’s Wharncliffe not such a big deal but not to be encouraged where rare mosses and lichens are present.
    Looked very smooth

    What tyre pressure for grip on cold damp smooth rock?
    I slipped over just watching that

    Is he on dual HR2s?

    Everyone makes fun of me wearing that helmet around Glentress.

    Superb riding. The way hw whipped/flicked/muscled the front wheel round some of those tight turns was quality. And as said above, finding grip where logic says grip was not there to he found..

    Yeah. Me and my mate were up there on Friday, my first time at Wharncliffe. We were riding exactly like that.

    As they say in climbing ‘he can talk a good route’.

    Wow. Most of those rocks are for riding around, not over, far as i can see. Or maybe for sitting on when it’s lunch? Nice riding!

    Semi-local, so I’ve ridden some of those trails, but not like that!

    Grip isn’t as bad as you think, as its gritstone so long as you keep off the green there’s friction. – its more the soggy boggy bits between the rocks that catch you out and kill your momentum just as you need it.

    Other bits of that. Nope.

    I mean, it’s alright, but can he do the steps down to the canal at Furness Vale? Eh? Can he?
