Absolutely unreal to meet and and welcoming Brian and Alex to bonnie Scotland.

It's awesome to spend time with folks that have helped inspire me and others to get out there and create MTB videos. Very much looking forward to getting out there and riding with them later this week and showing them some of the trails that make Scotland such a brilliant place to ride in 👌

The Tweed Valley is renowned for off-piste trails in dark, damp, tree plantations. Not always great for visibility but perfect for some moody black and white shots courtesy of 👌

Well that's a real shock. I'm not a racer, but my goodness TweedLove has done so much for Scottish mountain biking.

Like any organisation there have been a few critics along the way. But when I ask myself, will MTB in Scotland be as good without Tweedlove, I know my answer is no 😥

Wishing Neil and the team all the best. And probably a hug for what must have been a difficult decision to make ❤️

It’s the end of the road for TweedLove - the remaining events for the 2024 season will be our last.

Please DM me if you have something.

I've spent the last few weeks experimenting with a range of Vittoria tyres and it has been very revealing. 

For the last few years I was always focussed on riding the lightest casings I could get away with and I avoided soft compounds as I was concerned that they would be too draggy on the hills. What I understand now is that I wasn't considering the overall riding experience of the tyre, especially the descending performance.

I am currently running Vittoria's hardy enduro casings front and rear and a mixture of different tread patterns - Mazza, Mota and Mostro. They are a bit heavier than a trail casing, however there are two huge advantages. Firstly, I can drop the pressures significantly, meaning more grip from both ends of the bike. Secondly, that reduction in pressure adds further cushioning and damping from the trail itself, giving me more speed and a much better feeling on the trail. I should also add that they are absolutely bullet proof!

Up front I have gone for the softer race compound. This compound gives maximum grip. Combined with the qualities noted above, I am now more confident than I have ever been both braking and cornering.

If you've not spent time thinking very carefully about your own tyres I would definitely recommend it. It might just completely change the performance of your trusted bike ❤️

Good times ahead... Currently sitting and having a coffee and reflecting on some good times coming up. My back is less painful and I should get out on the bike this weekend. I'll be on holiday soon and will get to do some riding abroad this summer. Will be awesome to get some time away with the family.

It's easy to focus on the negatives when you are in the thick of adult life, but I have it a lot easier than a lot of folks. Need to remember this, stop moaning, and be grateful 😆😊

A huge thanks to for capturing a shot of me without a care in the world. Appreciate you dude 🙏
