So my better half and I dragged ourselves over to Lee Quarry and spent the day shooting some footage on her new camera using my new bike. All in all a good day. Here's the results.

I hope you enjoy it.

    Love the detail on some of the bermed shots!

    Thanks for all the comments... :lol:

    My better half is certainly a better film maker than I am a rider.

    Lee Quarry is a great place to ride it's a very new style centre with loads of berms and jumps etc well worth a visit. There's also another similar style location just 20mins ride along the ridge called Cragg Quarry.

    Awesome, looks like it's change a lot since I was last there. Can't wait for the quarry network to be linked up, that'll make for some epic riding.

    Congratulations, after watching this 3 times already, it's now been added to my favourites.
    There are currently only 2 videos in my favourites on YouTube, yours, and the HT freeride one. So you're in good company there. :wink:

    Went xc racing there last weekend, and I'm going to hit up the more technical / jumpy stuff there this weekend, it really is a brilliant place

    Excellent video too :D

    You could easily make a day of it, theres lots to ride (you'll probably miss some of it on your first visit), and the stuff you do ride, you'll want to ride again.

    There are also plenty of lines / runs that aren't part of the trail that are great for practicing drops and steep stuff.

    Include Cragg Quarry as well and you're already talking about three hours riding time. Spend more time sessioning stuff, couple of extra laps of Cragg Quarry and you're easily up to a days riding. Better still fit in a pub lunch at the Buck Inn in Cowpe, come down the descent on the Mary Townley Loop which is ace, lunch then climb back up on the road for more fun.
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result
