It's interesting how the area you grew up riding in shapes the way you ride a bike. I started riding in an place that was full of these awkward walking paths with zero flow and lung killing climbs. There weren't really any dedicated mountain bike tracks so you just had to ride what was there. Then I just got addicted to trying to get up these horrible climbs.
Nadge is definitely not everyone's cup of tea. The only 'roost' you'll see is when your back wheel steps out on a rubbly climb or when the wind blows a big plume of dust in your face.
So here's the first in a series of videos featuring some of my favourite nadgery climbs around!

p. s. with no intention of exciting passions in the remarks session of PB... this is what mountainbiking (especially in a mixed dirt/loose rock uphill environment) sounds like, so I don' t get the comments about the 'bike sounds' /'effects' added, etc... Genuinely baffled about that... but hey, live and go ride!
Love your video, well filmed and top skills!
What is the move called where you're up on your back wheel and you hop forward while staying up on the wheel called? How does one acquire this skill?
Ryan Leech is a paid subscription (but highly worth it IMO, even if you just subscribe for a few months during your riding season) but I've also found another trials focused skills website trashzen.com that I am pretty sure talks about the same skill.
Macdui next if your doing another, then ride off the top towards Loch Etchachan without a dab
You know it’s hard when it looks that easy!!!
Love it.
Is it real?
Reminds me a bit of animal documentarys, where fake chewing sounds are added afterwards.
