Video: Lew Buchanan - Raw Talent

Lewis Buchanan is undoubtedly one of the most talented Scottish riders out there.

Riding for Banshee Factory racing this year his results have started to pick up after the bad luck he has seen the last couple of years.

Coming from the small town called Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders. The number of trails available to ride and the large number of riders to ride with is a recipe for success.

In 2010, his first year of junior world cup racing saw him finish 14th overall in Windham. Consistent top 20's over the 2 years following, injury unfortunatley slowed down the run of success for young Lew.


With injuries and bad luck tarnishing his past few years he is slowly coming back to his old form of top 20 wold cup finishes. Him along with some friends have taken it upon themselves to build a new trail in the tweed valley. This is how it goes...

No1 Peebles Road cafe in Innerleithen is the place to go for breakfast. Don't miss it if you're passing through. After a long coffee and breakfast they head out to enjoy the loose new turns
