GALLERY: Trails Highlights 2021

Here we are with a few key facts. The UK trails scene is the best it’s ever been. We’re proud of it – the standard of building, riding, and shit chatting is going up year on year. When you dig, it’s the best thing you can do, when you ride, it’s the best thing you can do.

The man pjturns is part of all things UK trails more than most people, and just so happens to be a fine photographer on the side. So here we are. A photo gallery of trails season 2021, at various spots, with various riders.

Look forward to more of this in issue 200…

The northern guys have it tough in the UK trail scene, it rains a lot. That being said the scene is unreal with some amazing riders and humans alike. Here is Dead Sailor's newest rider Randy Stothard being a bendy shredder.

Stothard can ride bikes! Down whip in a midlands paradise.

Bobcat with a T-bog on a very big hip. This line at Staffs is something special, an amazing creative use of the landscape.

There’s a rare few people who when they drop you can't help but watch. Bobcat is one of those riders, he has an effortless style and always goes higher than everyone. He also grafts like a beast in the woods, works a manual job and has a family. (What’s your excuse for not helping?)

Another shot of Bobcat in his natural environment.

Martin Woodwardle with a one foot tyre grab over a large gnarly jump. Martin builds unreal trails his dedication and hours digging he puts in is mind blowing.

Deathpack rider Conan ventured south a lot due to the awful weather this summer. When he isn’t doing insane transfers or spinning the biggest jump in the woods he does rad stuff like this .

Chalk is scary, rock hard but Jesus it's fast stuff and looks unreal. Sven came over from Germany this summer on a trip and shredded every set of trails he visited. Woodyard is so photogenic, when you combine it with riders like Sven it’s a win win.

Less is more. Instagram trails legend Mark Taylor, X-up. You can’t beat a sunset shot on those late summer evenings.

Steve Devine is one of the raddest human beings you will ever have the pleasure to meet, always stoked, digs at two spots, shreds everywhere and anything. I would hate to guess the miles he did this summer. T-bog on some southern mud.
