Penny Farthing riding gets serious

A short edited video showing almost the full length of the blue mountain bike freeride trail at Laggan Wolftrax ridden on a 36 inch wheel Penny Farthing, kindly supplied by Strathpeffer based 'Square Wheels'.

Please see my other Penny Farthing video 'Mr Mackenzie's Marvelous Day Out' for a more comic take on riding this beast.

Thanks for watching!

where is this course?

[teebarn]

Laggan, near Dalwhinnie, off the A9, northern Scotland, UK

[Benjiman72391]

what a waste of a really fun looking trail.

[teebarn]

Erm... Laggan's trails are amazing and I can safely say we've ridden them on normal bikes too!

[JustSomeRandomGuy100]

He needs a bigger t-shirt.

Check out "Mr Mackenzie´s Marvelous Day Out", also on my youtube page, to find out what he's actually wearing below that totally unnecessary body armour! ;-)

all i can ask, is why?

but then i look in my garage and see mine from the early 1900's and think to myself...

...why NOT?

[jonatube28]

I did the black run in a shopping trolley.

[speedhorn1]

I lol'd hard. Good job guys.

[GasMaskDonut]

should do the orange at glentress xDDD

There are 36" wheel mtn bikes now. They can roll over anything.

WHATS THE SONG!?

[gumby1008]

he didnt even do it on a full size farthing, when he does it on one with a 52-56 inch wheel then i will be impressed

[renumeratedfrog]

The song is as crazy as the guy riding that bike... :)

[afroninja93]

you call that a penny farthing

[jimjohnson1977]

holy shit this is the best video ever

[MasterJulianHitch]

Of course a traditional penny farthing has a front wheel exactly 3 feet in diameter and was invented in Tibet.
