Any one from around the Edinburgh area will recognise this YouTube clip. It is a place I used to ride my Moto Enduro bike a lot until the Police started to get too many complaints from locals, I don't blame them you dont want a 450 4t MX ripping around a few hundred meters from your house.

But, you can take your eMTB here no problem so I think next weekends mission will be a revisit to an old stamping ground. Good vid of Chris Smith riding here on an analogue MTB before he switched to eMTBs, bet he would have had a lot more fun with his Kenovo here ;)

@Gary if you fancy checking this out, give me a PM.

Watched the vids now. Had forgotten how good some of Chris' videos used to be...
Yeah. Ebiking there should be fun.
The Philipstone one made me laugh that they used the soundtrack from uNreal. Do you know those guys?

I still reckon it'll be a few years yet til Ebike riders can look as stylish riding as non ebike riders..

Talking of Edinburgh riding spots, Have you ridden Carberry? (outside Musselburgh). it's a great wee spot, bit of everything from flowy, DHy, Jump/bermy, stunts and even XC if that's your bag.
