We simply printed this video now we have been making during the last couple of months and I’m pleased with it so i’d prefer to share it right here. Right here’s a bit of little bit of context first.
I’m from Northumberland and grew up using Tweed Valley quite a bit however I’ve been dwelling in Norway for the final 6 years and have a guiding firm up right here. I dwell in a spot known as Nesbyen now and the valley feels similar to Tweed Valley to me solely that we’re about 10 years behind in mountain bike improvement in comparison with the UK. Which could really feel or appear to be a unfavorable however what’s thrilling is there’s numerous alternatives to form the event of this place and contribute to the mountain bike scene. I’ve been dwelling on this place 4 years now and it’s fairly cool to see the long run modifications slowly occur – extra individuals transfer right here, every summer time sees extra riders go to, new trails get constructed and we even managed to open a bakery/cafe/pizzeria final yr!
I’ve seen many mountain bike movies concerning the story of mountain biking in a sure place, most notably this Patagonia one about Downieville –
and all the time felt very impressed by these, usually with some urge to maneuver to the place and be a part of it. However now, a bit of unexpectedly, as this wasn’t the unique video plan, we’ve made one thing related of our personal that tells a part of the story of what we’re as much as in Nesbyen. In 2022 Manon Carpenter and Pete Scullion paid us a go to, you might need even seen an article in Singletrack magazine from that journey, and whereas they had been right here we filmed quite a lot of video concerning the trails, individuals and trailbuilding. Nearly 1.5 years later and we lastly managed to edit it collectively!
