I have been quite shocked at how difficult to please some people on here are. Then again, I don't ride a mountain bike, so it could all be the equivalent of a bloke rocking up some 8As. Quite good, but not groundbreaking.

Regardless of the difficulty, I think it's a great spectacle showcasing an acutely beautiful piece of geomorphology that not many will get to appreciate close up, let alone on a bike.

you need to be descending E7s to impress anyone - watch from about 4:00.

Shit the fucking bed,that looked nasty  :(
Re the DM ridge video I thought it was impressive.Being a non biker I don't know how difficult some of these "tricks"(is that word offensive to MTB-ers,sorry if it is ) are but to my eyes there didn't appear to be much room for error.The film was fabulous and reminds me that the Skye bouldering season is upon us  :bounce:

Great to see Skye in HD.

I'd be OK doing the Inn Pinn with bike on my shoulder but the Collie Ledge felt pretty sketchy even in a pair of Walshes!

Strictly speaking he descended a VS, although funny enough just as high and just as hard a landing!

I too was underwhelmed with the ridge video, compared to how awesome the Edinburgh and Way Back Home ones were. The fence flip was by far my favourite bit  :)
