Back in October, I headed up for a couple of days to Inverness to catch up with Greg Williamson and check out some of his local trails. After a super delayed journey, I finally got to Inverness and we made our way to The Mast Trails, every trail at The Mast has some insane features and the local builders have done such a good job. On the second day, the weather was typically Scottish but fortunately we managed to find some trails in prime condition, further up north in Dingwall. There aren't many trails there yet but where we went showed promise for some fast, steep and loamy trails. We were super lucky that the trail was bone dry and definitely provided the goods.

If you are ever over here, feel free to give the line a go on a hard tail, especially in the winter, make sure you gopro it though.
11s... a 25ft gap, 27s a 25ft gap, 33s a 15ft forward step up out of a corner, 36s gap to moto whoops (funny watching the video of when they were built earlier this year, people of enduro bikes who are top seniors nearly ending themselves.
54s and the theme changes to slippery off camber trails, steeper than many would be comfortable on.
Then halfway through the edit we are onto the easier stuff, just hit much faster than you our I could dream of!
The best thing about top WC riders is that they make hard things look easy, then mortals go there and... oh, that jump didnt look like a 25ft gap off a step up step down with a 20ft gap just before it and you have to land it hipped to go down the steep chute after it, then rail a left and step up whilst still cornering!
Few clips from when it was first built, few extra bits these days and some of the jumps have been extended since it was built also some bigger jumps/gaps added.
