I was lucky enough to be riding with a great bunch the other week, including Danny Macaskill, Rowan Sorrell, Joe Barnes and Aimee Dix, as part of an MTBcut video shoot for Mojo/Fox suspension. You can see the first part of the video with footage from Lee Quarry and Calderdale over on Singletrack World:

The photo above was taken on the descent from the Nan Bield Pass in The Lake District. I’ve done the usual Nan Bield loop a few times before, but this time we rode down what is usually the push / carry up. Proper ace, proper hard, proper tech, proper pass storming. Everyone apart from me was riding Orange Fives, proving how good the current 140mm trail bikes are and how they really can go anywhere. My trusty Ibis Mojo has stormed a few passes and yet again it took the whole trail in it’s stride. With a Fox 36 fork on the front it makes a true all mountain bike. Footage from that day will be in part two of the video, out any day now…
