because the camera is securely attached to the frame using a camera grip and the bike is full suspension, a lot of the bumps are ironed out – you can see the marzocchi forks working over time…

Nice camera mount. How did you get rid of shaking? Is it the shock that does it?

well dude it looks like your out of luck. your not going to find a mountain as smooth riding as this bike. im willing to bet his fork is 500 bucks. you can get a mountain bike for that much but its a rough ride. i cant think of any bikes that wont give out on you. sorry.

they look like really nice trails they aslo look prity sharp on the last run.

the Carron valley Development Group have spent about a year on them (search for their website on google). They are currently planning to extend the trails to be a lot harder and longer and also put a family ride in alongside the loch.
there are trails like this all over scotland – it’s well worth a visit.
