Ballo Woods... Check out some of Scotland's finest natural tech trails. Ballo hosted multiple Enduro MTB events here and the MTB trails follow that style. I find them fairly raw and after rain it's pretty scary in places!
The riding is fast with steep chutes, plenty roots and some features too... this Scottish mountain biking spot has it all! It runs well in all conditions if you don't mind some sketch in the wet! Drainage is built in so that isn't an issue but the roots are pretty wild! All trails are natural black graded.

Thanks for the nice wee virtual ride-along. 😀👍 Am keen to get out there and try these trails for myself as I've seen them in various videos about 6 times now!

It’s a pleasure! Would highly recommend them. Good mix of trails and there’s another hill with some cracking flow trails 👌

Lost my trail dog Charlie 6 month ago he never put a paw wrong in a few years on the trails. miss him though but seeing your lovely. dog has really helped !

@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB Жыл бұрын

Ah sorry to hear that. He sounds like he was a super trail dog. Our Roxie started a few months back and is picking it up well! That’s nice - plenty more trail dog vids to come, she’s one of the crew now!

@muff7145 Жыл бұрын

Hey guys another fine video. I don't know if you know this but if a dog has eaten less than 2 hours before exercise like riding, his/her stomach can get twisted and die from that injury.

@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB Жыл бұрын

Cheers! Oh didn’t know that so thanks for saying! She’s not done that so far thankfully. Her sausages were at the start of a roadtrip for a few hours so a good break before the ride 👍

Trail at 9:00 looks so stunning! Already loved your videos before, but with Roxy I just cant stop watching :D Such a good girl, she deserves those sausages! :P

Spicy Bits - great trail. Running well just now. Speeder bikes through Endor.

Aye, reckon we were there about the same time and sloppy is the main word I recall. Well done getting down the chute on Vindaloo - I gave up on that one as the conditions weren't exactly confidence building! Very cool wee spot though and wouldn't mind trying it in drier conditions and also giving some of the other trails on the hills to the east a go. We thought about also trying the Kinnoull trails at Perth but didn't get around to it. Have you guys done those?

@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB Жыл бұрын

Yeah the awkwardness of the chute doesn’t come out on camera. It’s pretty intimidating in those slick conditions isn’t it! The trails on the other hill are brilliant and got some great flow to them. Yes have ridden kinnoull a fair bit but not in the last couple of years. Was a fun playground and the jump park has some good natural trails off the sides and nearby! They’ve done some great funduro type events on the trails there

My local trails, 10 minutes up the road. If you want spicy - try the bottom part of Ballo original (super steep, fast) and the bottom part of Rista (the big log drop catches folk out!). Tayside Trail Association have done a tonne on work up there since the storms. Check out Forrest Grump if you’re up again!

@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB Жыл бұрын

That’s a great spot to be near to! Cheers for the tips! No idea if I have ridden them in the past - maybe! - but will check some out by name next time for sure. So many trails to choose it’s overwhelming, in a good way!
