Video: swoopy Ashton Court loveliness

[samc]

I've been meaning to film this for ages, but injuries and busy-ness have gotten in the way until last weekend when I went out on a lovely evening and finally filmed it

It's not super-fast like a downhill video, but it's got some terrific swoopy bits. Splendid!

Bike: custom Cannondale Jeckyll
Place: Ashton Court, Bristol - mostly cross country, very swoopy
Camera: Gaffer-taped little Kodak HD with a fisheye lens superglued to it
Trivia: the double drop-off at 2:54 is where I crashed a few months back and augered my arm real nice. This time I was wearing armour!

Nice!

Cheers

Cheers Scott, yeah it's a great place to ride - swooping crosscountry singletrack is so good, and considering the battering this trail gets from Bristolians it's kept in good nick
