[newdecember2211]

You on trail Scotland kristin?

[kirstin181101]

@newdecember2211 yip!

[78markrussell]

Off to Glentress tomorrow for the first time, Hamsterley is my home route. Great video has given me some idea of what to expect. Roll on tomorrow!

[kirstin181101]

@78markrussell Its a awesome trail center mate. My preference is the red route, Spooky Woods and a muck about in the freeride park is an essential. You will not regret it. Have a good one!

[TRAILSandDIRT98]

would a ss jump bike be ok on there and how long does it take to get to the bottom

[kirstin181101]

@TRAILSandDIRT98 Ye mate, should be great fun, especially in the freeride park. Go for It!

[TRAILSandDIRT98]

@kirstin181101 ive been before but uncle didnt let me do spooky wood :(

[kirstin181101]

@TRAILSandDIRT98 Na, it would be fine, its not that bad.

[TRAILSandDIRT98]

@kirstin181101 thats what im thinking cause ive done a bit of downhill but alot of jumps and what bike do you ride?

[kirstin181101]

@TRAILSandDIRT98 For Glentress usually my hardtail GT Aggressor but I mostly do downhill at Fort Bill and Inners and I have a Trek Session 88 for that.

[DJbadger808]

What a laaaaad

[gaynessfatjo]

anybody done spooky in the snow?? i do it in all the extreme weather like snow lightning heavy rain fog it makes a better challenge

[hendrix7755]

can you take a good bmx to that place ? (not halfords).

[kirstin181101]

@hendrix7755 Probably mate, but I would say the freeride park would more suit a BMX???

[ThEtEcHnOsAm]

Hello, Just wondering if you know of any bikes you would recommend for a amiture rider? I used to ride alot but my old bike was useless as it kept on damaging it's self, Oh and not to dear!

[kirstin181101]

@ThEtEcHnOsAm Hi mate, I'm mostly into Downhill biking so don't really know about that mate. However, any hardtail bike with front suspension of around 3 - 4 inches should cope with Glentress. Your best bet would be to join a forum like Trail Scotland and ask on there. Sorry!

[downtimehunter1]

Hopefully you will receive this as meant, when going round corners it helps if you have your outer foot forward. It naturally angles your body into the corner better so you can actually commit more and ride it out faster. Watch your feet on the 1st super g hairpin, right foot forward and the corner is not natural. If you had left foot forward you would find a lot easier.

[kirstin181101]

@downtimehunter1 Cheers mate, always looking for tips on how to ride faster, especially on the corners which I find a nightmare sometimes. haha! Its cool, I know what you mean! Thanks!

[DecimusMxms]

Are you using a GT Aggressor HC3? Did the bike hold up well in Glentress?

[kirstin181101]

@DecimusMxms Its an XC2 as far as I can remember. Had it a few years now and only use it for XC and fitness as I mostly do downhill. I found it great fun at Glentress and more than enough for there given its pretty smooth in my opinion.

[kirstin181101]

@DecimusMxms Sorry mate, it is an XC3 and more than enough for Glentress.

[sambanks123]

what fork does this bike have

[kirstin181101]

@sambanks123 Suntour with 120mm travel on the front.

[adamfeast]

Best trail in the UK?

[kirstin181101]

@adamfeast Sure is one of them anyway.

[MegaFunnybunny92]

its gd

[jeroennnnnnnnnnnnnn]

did u use chestmount? :)

[kirstin181101]

@jeroennnnnnnnnnnnnn Yip mate, will change the angle next time!

[jeroennnnnnnnnnnnnn]

@kirstin181101 i think its cool :)

[johnthechink]

@kirstin181101 nice vid mate and what i do to get a good angle with chest mount is use 2 small Extension bits good angle coz you get most of the trail in it =D

[kirstin181101]

@johnthechink Cheers mate, will give that a try!

[14jonny14]

Hello. Would you mind if i streamed this video through my website. It would help with your views.

[racerfreak8]

what kind of bike?

[kirstin181101]

@racerfreak8 GT Aggressor (hardtail). Also have a Norco A-Line for downhill which I mostly do to be honest. Cheers!

[14jonny14]

Nice video. Is there any new trails at glentress?

[kirstin181101]

@14jonny14 Not that I know of mate but I don't normally go there as I do downhill most of the time.
