Sweet video. That place looks fun and good ridding. Wasn't digging the song but that doesn't matter since the video was sick.

[norcorider2005]

@TheShredderofsnow Yeah, the song was a bit of an after thought to be honest, there's stuff I'd rather use now! :) Yeah, there's some great trails etc, we're also hitting the big drop at Hawley now instead of the smaller one shown on the vid. Thanks for commenting! :)

@TheShredderofsnow

Nice drop, you guys have built some amazing stuff in the area (like Mytchette) credit to you guys :)

I have never ridden Hawley, is there much else stuff there, any other tracks or trails?

[norcorider2005]

@chrisatkinson633 There's not much else at Hawley really. We're doing the bigger drop to the left now which is fun. There used to be more around there but a lot's got knocked down. Swinley isn't far and worth a look too - can easily ride both in a morning or day. You probably know the area pretty well I guess.

[chrisatkinson633]

@norcorider2005 That's a same there isn't more, I see some XC stuff springing up at Minley and wondered if some of it had spread as its just across the road. I hear they are building in Eversley too, but not sure if its worth the trip yet, I heard they tore down the freeride stuff last year?

[countrybumpkin1999]

You really need to come to mt. Joyce i think it's one of the best tracks in Queensland and if you do go on track number 1 it's called bovine groove if you love that track you will love that one ;)

[norcorider2005]

@countrybumpkin1999 Sounds interesting, but a long way away unfortuntely, but perhaps one day I'll make it out to Queensland!

[TheGrantkaminski]

sick vid, by your username, your in northern colorado? or is it california?

[norcorider2005]

@TheGrantkaminski I'm actually in the UK. I used to have a Norco A-Line a few years ago and used that as inspiration for my username! :) Thanks for comments!

[wuttrichdh90]

[norcorider2005]

@wuttrichdh90 It's Hawley Forest and Swinley Forest (the tight n fast is Swinley forest)... Worth a look if you're down around Bracknell (M3) area! :)

Cool video. Great riding and editing.

[norcorider2005]

@krabby101 Thanks mate! :)

[outboarder911]

why does this video not have more than 500 views?

[norcorider2005]

@outboarder911 Possibly my keywords or something... dunno, will try and improve the keywords and hopefully get more exposure on it. :) Thanks!

@norcorider2005 SUBED LIKED FAVED.

[norcorider2005]

@godzilla2878 Thanks man! :)

[mrhenrysos]

please could you tell me the bikes you were using especially the white one. I am looking at getting a whyte 146 s could I do this sort of stuff with that bike.

[norcorider2005]

@mrhenrysos I was on my Trek Session 88 with Totems and my mate was riding a Cannondale but I can't remember the model I'm afraid. It's a freeride bike with a 1.5" headtube... I'll see if I can find out for you. I think it's a few years old now so not sure they make that frame anymore. You could probably do most of this stuff on a Whyte 146 but it'll be a tad unforgiving as it's 146mm travel I believe and more of an XC bike. Best to look at All Mountain bikes for XC and hucking and jumping.

Awesome track and Nice Riding!

[norcorider2005]

@evolutiondeath08 Thanks, there's some good trails there, short but sweet! :-)
