On a Spring day down on the south coast of Cornwall with Jay Williamson, shot on his birthday down at his local woods. With all the blue bells out in the woods we thought it would be rude not to shoot a little edit of him on his new short travel bike.
seriously who gives a shit about some bluebells.there bloody everywhere im sure there not going to miss a few.just enjoy watching the riding rather than bitching about some flowers like a bunch of girls.
Whats with all these tracks in america and canada then using half a forest to make some north shore jumps, I have no problem with it but may get some of you thinking on that? And.... just to let you on the other side of the valley they have taken out a large amount of woods, leaving just mud and stumps so I think a few blue will not be missed!
Bluebells are a bit of a tricky subject. They are protected yes, but you can't enjoy them without going out and finding them. You try walking through a carpet of bluebells without treading on some. Can't be done. Likewise, you can't ride around them without taking some out. Most of this video was on established track where bluebells were growing alongside it, are people not supposed to use these woods whilst bluebells are flowering? I can guarantee that for the few dozen that were ripped up along the trail edge there are tens of thousands more in the carpets you'll find spreading out from the trail on either side.
bluebells are an endangered species and this young lout just ripped loads of them out of the ground... what a dick thats illegal and i'm telling the plant police!
Great shooting, great editing, great music and great riding. Looks like I'm blowing off any work I had planned sarv and going for a ride. VOM no worries.
That's just what the other trail user groups need to see: Some guy on a mountain bike tearing up a field of flowers. Keep the treads on the trail, and if you don't, don't film it and show it off.
And to the dude up a few posts... that ain't All- Mountain riding. That's lame riding in a local metro field. Dams brutal.. And very messy editing. Just plain messy.
Some of the first shots where he's going downhill appear to be on a non-existent trail, and the berm just falling apart reinforces that those sections may not have been properly built.
I feel guilty just watching it, so I can't get much excitement out of the idea of riding it.
The jump sections look pretty sturdy though.
Not everything has to be Build Pristine! Bikings for fun! If you dont enjoy the more adventurous side of it and would rather it all be built perfect then thats fair enough but once apon a time all the trails you ride where just loose sections like this.
Whats with tearing up the ground for a quick photo session / video? The first half of the video the rider is just walking on a beach then riding through some botanical garden, Thinks to himself... "Oh this looks good"! Then turns and drives straight through the flowers on no real trail (0:52) and straight into freshly cut berms that you just dug up for this shoot (1:02)... Nothing like tearing apart the environment for a 2 minute video....
No i'm completely fake!!! I don't exist,... I'm just a figment of your imagination. @ Mucky-Dirt....
I'm not a tree hugger, but pointless destruction of nature,just isn't my cup of tea... Respect your enviroment... Pretty simple philosophy IMO... Where I live in Canada, the CO's would have your bike or worse for destroying some protected plant or area... Just seems like a very careless act, for a 2 minute video. Thats all.
you get 1 free pass on your birthday to destroy anything you want. most people destroy cake, apparently this guy thinks its ok to destroy endangered plants.
Jeez, some people need to lighten up a bit. Its not like he was going through there on a combine harvester, im sure they will grow back. It seems to be americans that are getting so arsy over this. And as you said, its only a 2 minute video...
uh... wtf. I was the first 'american' to say anything about the pretty flowers being unnecessarily annihilated. You have no idea what youre even saying - for a mere 2 minutes on pinkbike (and about the same amount of time in fame aquired) he destroyed some endangered plants that will take a year to grow back.. if that.
killing/destorying the environment, with a lot of the comments coming from americans you should all pipe down, one of the main countrys along with Japan that are killing the planet!!!
Great filming too!!
Nice video Jacob.
young lout? he is older than you mate

Wouldn't skidding that much on a real trail show a lack of talent????
