Day 1 here in Leogang was quite the handful. Crashes, mud and wild times. So stoked to be back at the races and with the best crew. Leogang Bike Park has put on quite the track for us.

In the latest episode of "A Dog's Life", Brendan is back on UK soil aboard the 2022 SCOTT Gambler. Desperate to clock up a few air miles on the big bike, Brendan hits the long awaited and highly anticipated Oakley Icon Way jump line at Dyfi bike park in Wales. Labeled as a "Triple Black" by Dyfi...

As you can imagine this is our final video from the UCI World Cup in Lenzerheide for obvious reasons you will see in the video. But before everything kicked off we decided to make a video on what a mechanic actually does at a World Cup, I personally think they just hit a few things, take bits of...

Madeira, Portugal. With World Cup season in full swing, and just before the next stop in Les Gets, France, we're thrilled to premier Brendan Fairclough's latest edit. It had been some time since we had Brendan go and film a dedicated DH piece, so we asked him, "where do you want to go?" Needles...

To start with DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Okay glad we got that out of the way and now onto the video itself. This week Beney and I decided it was time to test the Defender Spicy MTB Sender 6000 and due to having to stay local, we decided as one final send-off for the house I would jump over it on ...

Only 10 days into 2021 and It's like Christmas again. Scott sent me a brand new 2021 Scott Tuned Gambler so I thought I'd do a full bike check of this pimping downhill bike for you guys. But first, as if 2021 wasn't good enough already GoPro also sent me a GoPro Hero 9 Black to giveaway to you ...

Words by Brendan Fairclough The Berm2Berm concept has been a dream of mine since we first started planning the different shoots/locations for “Deathgrip” in 2015. The original idea was to have a track built in a grassy field, where you had to jump from feature to feature, or berm to berm never ...

This week we headed to MB Cyclery to fit the new Enve 29" Foundation AM30. My first time riding 29'ers in many years and trying out Enve's new carbon wheelset. We loaded up the mountain bikes into the back of the van and headed out to Rogate Bikepark, thankfully lockdown is over so bike parks are...

Simpler times for all and one of Brendan's first rides on the controversial "650b" wheel size.

This week we decided to teach my filmer Beney the fundamentals of MTB. For me the most important and fun part of riding a bike is dirt jumping skills. We got straight to it and set Beney up with all the gear he could possibly desire. A Scott Eride Ransom, Fiveten shoes and even a GOPRO. He was s...

Building and riding my new Scott eRIDE Ransom. This thing is like a mountain bike in steroids. 180mm (not 170mm) downhill/ freeride beast. As the winter months creep in, it's time to get the e-bikes prepped for the mud and slop. This is Scott's newest bike in the range. It's a long-travel electr...

This week I took fellow Monster Energy rider and downhill racer Theo Erlangsen around our local area and for some more home Rampage lines. Deeply missing RedBull Rampage this year and not being able to attend the Downhill World Cup this weekend made us want to get out there and ride. Its so rad...

We followed our elite athletes to their hometowns to find out what goes on outside of the race tape. From Australia to North America and Europe, we travelled the globe to get behind-the-scenes, unfiltered access to the greatest in the game. Released as a series in 2019 and now with unseen foota...

So back from racing Trans Madeira we decided to reignite an old mountain biking favourite of ours, Home Redbull Rampage, And of course there was only one person we could drag into this one, the one and only Olly Wilkins. We put our spades and bikes into the van and off we went to some local clif...

Little kicker ramps are such a rad way to spice up a day out riding your bike. We took one to our local bike park and spiced the day right up. I mean it's no Sam PIlgrim free bike kicker challenge but I think we found the limit of this thing...haha. We found gaps that wouldn't have been ever poss...

The rain came down so the spades came out. Tuning up some old gems. I mean we only built for an hour and we had some of the best times. You can't beat the UK loam scene. Back on the mountain bike and loving it. Lockdown kind of over but travel is still uncertain so it’s such a good time to utiliz...

I got a chance over lockdown to have a sit-down and reminisce back through old times with my good friend and World Champ, Steve Peat. This was supposed to be a Monster Energy exclusive but I think things got a bit juicy so they bailed and now I get to share it with you guys here. Stoked. We talk...

Finally back in the backyard, building a new line of dirt jumps. This week we wanted to mix it up and build a new line. Cant wait to ride the jumps and peel off on to the new line. It will join back in the original line after the whale tail. So good to be back in the backyard. Now lockdown has ...

We headed out of our local bubble up to ChickSands Bikepark for the day. I haven’t ridden there for 15 years or so and it didn’t disappoint. Dirt jump lines, flow trails it had the lot. What a fun day out on the mountain bikes. Met up with Sam Pilgrim, Tom Cardy, and my Monster energy and GoPro...

Four bikes, riding close to home, and one of the world's most naturally gifted MTB athletes. Chasing Trail has always been about sending our athletes to dream-worthy, exotic locations to shoot content that would make us want to dream. In these current times, however, that isn't possible. So we s...
