A few weeks ago we hooked up with Steve Peat, Guy Martin and Joe Barnes to spend 2 days All Mountain riding and filming in Scotland for a new edition of Mojo Suspensions Trail Diaries.
It was unbelievable for the guys to have fitted in a couple of days with us into their schedule and we aimed to make the most of it. Over the 2 days the Scottish weather pretty much threw everything it had at us, sun, rain, hail, wind and snow. Filming conditions were tough but a great time was had by everyone involved and we came out with a film for you all to watch!
Steve and Joe are obviously well known in the mountain bike World, if you don't know Guy however you should check out the link I've posted below to the Isle of Man TT lap. He's a motorbike racer from the UK, renound for being one of the top guys at the Isle of Man TT, which is essentially one of the craziest things you'll ever see. Not only that though but he loves his mountain biking! One of the best things about this trip is that Guy really looked up to Steve and Joe as riders and was super excited to ride with them, but both Steve and Joe are also huge fans of Guy, everyone was literally just so stoked to be hanging out together.
Big thanks to Chris Porter from Mojo for making it happen and Andy from Go Where Scotland for showing us around. For more info on MTBcut hit up our website or Facebook page

Getting airborne on a speed bike going 200km/h++!?! Man, those Isle of Man guys are freakin' nuts!
Guy Martin put it best when he said that ''the reason (he does) it is because if you get it wrong, it'll kill you. If you think it's too dangerous then go home and cut your grass and leave us to it.'' lol
Between 1907 and 2009 (at the end of 2009 TT races period) there have been 237 deaths during official practices or races on the Snaefell Mountain Course (this number includes the riders killed during Manx Grand Prix and the Clubman TT races).
It's about Isle of Man TT, the same as in the video
Awesome video! Loved the soundtrack! Nice change from the usual videos of dirt jumping and dh riding (both of which I love to watch). Makes me want to go out and have some epic adventures of my own. Plus, Guy = Wolverine, nice to see an X-Man rip it up!
Guy talks as fast as he rides! Guys a frickin nutter! Actually, I think anyone who rides a motorbike 200mph on a narrow country lane where someone dies every year without fail is a nutter!
Man our Island is kick ass, shame ( me included ) not enough of us check out all of it... Note to self, see more of this great island. killer video gents nice one.
Guy Martin should join an mtb team or form his own, so much less chance of dying compared with the TT. Although I do think he rides motorcycles really well.
Guy is racing this weekend in the North West 200 in Northern Island, there is a race tonight at 6 on line @ the BBC website not sure if he is in this race though
My fiancée Sarah moved back up at the end of Feb, so with my sick leave from my leg I've been back and forward since I was allowed back behind the wheel. I'm in Stirling till the end of the month, but I'll be along to the June Guild! Maybe even riding!
I thought it wasnt going to be that bad to understand, but I didn't even understand most of what he said when i actually watched it haha. Awesome video though
