Video: Up A Mountain With Ratboy And LooseDog

Fabric Cycles and it’s top cameraman Alex Rankin (creator of those Sprung VHS tapes you loved) headed off to the Brecon Beacons for a bit of an adventure with the 50:01 boys, Loosedog and Ratboy.

“It was cold, mega windy and icy.”

You don’t see many DH stars out on a day like this, do you?

Not even stunt snow…

Nutrition is vital…

You can learn a lot about what not to wear in this video…

Follow their adventures, complete with ‘Proper English’ subtitles for those who find the lads a little indecipherable… as they take on a six hour ride in the Brecon Beacons.

Some Fabric 50:01 placement there

Flyin’

This is bound to end well, right?

Of course everyone rushed to help…

It’s an extraordinary piece of terrain, don’t you think?

I agree with you.
