Scottish Scene is a self funded project taking a look at the downhill mountain bike scene in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Shown across 5 episodes, each episode takes a look at some of the fastest riders in Scotland doing what they do best at their local trails. It also covers a selection of the SDA races from this past season, including the Scottish champs at Killin.

Here are some details about the first episode in the series-
In Episode 1 we cover arguably the most difficult course in Scotland (or the world!) - Fort William. Here big names such as the Athertons and Ben Reid show us why this is one of the most demanding races of the series, but first we take a look at 19 year old Ronan Taylor riding his local trails in the capital of the Highlands - Inverness.

Episode 2 of Scottish Scene features the carnage of the 2011 Scottish Championships held at Killin. We then take a trip across to Innerleithen to check out the skills of Joe Connell riding his local trails. Joe has had a great season this year riding for Sunn/Montgenevre (taking the junior BDS overall, SDA overall and becoming junior Scottish Champion to name a few of his achievements…) and it was awesome to spend some time filming him for Scottish Scene.

Episode 3 is a slightly different approach to your average bike video to take a look into a day in the life of Oban’s original ganster/part time comedian – Ben Cathro. After spending a morning “preparing” for the day ahead, we see Ben riding his local trails in Oban followed by a catch up to find out why he won’t be competing in the world cup series for 2012.

Episode 4 of Scottish Scene takes us to the third round of the SDA series held at Dunkeld. Despite a fairly low turn out the racing is as still as close as ever and the weather actually stayed dry over both race runs, a very rare occasion for a race in Scotland! But first we take a trip to Innerleithen to spend an afternoon with Chris Reynolds at his favourite trails. Chris rode for the MTB-Essentials team in 2011 however is currently looking for sponsors at present. Hopefully this will change soon as after only racing for a few years, Chris will definitely be a rider to look out for in the near future.

Episode 5 is the final instalment of Scottish Scene featuring the 5th round of the SDA series held at Innerleithen. The rain and sloppy mud resembles a round of the winter series rather than a race in September, but thats Scottish racing for you! Before heading to Inners we first check out the skills of Scott Laughland and Chris Hutchens. With both of them studying full time in Edinburgh it was a struggle to arrange a date when we were all free to film (and here was me thinking the student life was one big party!) Despite all of their studying and exams throughout 2011 they both put in some solid results at the races and can't wait for the 2012 season to get underway.
