Hey guys, me and a friend are new to DH biking, been going to pitfichie a lot, and to the lecht and fochabers once so far. Was reading through this thread, just wondering what dirt jumps are still in one piece around aberdeen? The ones at hazelhead looked pretty fun, where exactly are they? We would also be up for helping build new stuff/improving whats already been done, any info much appreciated
Me and my friend went up to Scolty hill on sunday, props to anyone who has put work into the trails up there! The big drop at the top was a bit much for us noobs but we had a good day either way, maybe next time Is there still anything decent to ride at Blacktop? If so it would be cool as we live very close to there, could someone provide some directions or is it a bit of a secret? if so any chance of a PM from some aberdeen folk in the know? Cheers!

I was at Scolty a few weeks back for the first time. Didn't know what to expect and was barrelling down the trail and suddenly came up on the drop- nearly shat myself!
That drop really isn't very fun....it is essentially to flat/incredibly poorly build landing. Do it once to say you have done it but then just leave it!

Haha, cool. I'll keep that in mind if / when I go to Scotly. Anything under head / shoulder height I should be fine landing to flat
I've been tempted by Bennachie for a while now, really want to try the stone staircase. It's just the walkers and ramblers that put me off. A couple of mates shot a BMX vid up there a few years back:
Used to go to Kirkhill a lot when i had an XC bike, they are doing some serious logging in there at the moment and most of the trails are in a bad state. Plus we still feel pretty bitter that our 1 awesome jump was destroyed so havent been back haha.
Moray monsters? Is that different to the main bit at fochabers with the little north shore section at the top?
Hey Aberdeen folk, I know some of the Aberdeen boys were riding at Falkland a while back but cant mind there names. Anyway here is a short vid with some of the crazy new stuff at Falkland. Falkland is on the second section of the vid.
