Welcome to the reworked red downhill trail at Glencoe Mountain Bike Resort. In this video I decided to try and tackle my fear of fast, rocky trails, by challenging myself to find speed and confidence on the Red Downhill Trail at the infamous Glencoe Mountain Resort.
Regular followers of the channel will know that I am not the most confident mtb rider. I find riding mountain bikes on fast rocky trails or technical rocky trails really nervewracking. So I decided to challenge myself at one of Scotland's most renowned downhill mtb locations.
Glencoe Mountain Resort is famous for having some of the toughest downhill mtb trails in Scotland. In particular, the resort plays host to the Glencoe Black DH trail. This trail is about as gnarly as they come, and even top riders find this a challenge.
There is however Red DH trail at Glencoe Mountain Resort. Now, make no bones about it... This is still a full on downhill mountain bike trail in itself. Interestingly, it has had a brand new top section installed.
In this video, I decided to tackle my fear of fast, rocky trails by trying to learn and survive the Glencoe Red Downhill trail. I also get to meet the trail builders who created the new top section on the Glencoe Red DH trail.

If you are new to my videos then expect to see high quality riding vlogs shot in the same style as McTrail Rider and BKXC. I try to travel to the best MTB locations in Scotland finding you the best mountain biking trails to ride, enjoy and explore.
The video was shot on a GoPro Hero 10 mounted on the chin of an Endura MT500 helmet using a R3Pro mount.
