Video: London Garden Trail
We were lucky enough to be invited to a house in London where Matt Wakefield and team had been commissioned to design and build an all-level mountain bike trail for one very lucky family. Matt gave us exclusive access to the trail that was crafted along the side of the garden, past the swimming pool, dropping into the trees with a mini-rock garden, followed by berm after berm until two big tables to get your tricks and style dialled. At the bottom of the garden, a pump track awaits the rider and it is crafted to perfection. With the weather closing in and light disappearing, we quickly got our 7D out and filmed a short video in under twenty minutes. No tripod, just a 14mm lens. Access to the garden's CCTV cameras was an obvious bonus.
