In 2015 The White Knight became the first person in history to attempt a decent on the steep WEST FACE! of UK's Highest Mountain. The camera is only 2d and softens many angles of severity, but huge amounts of testicular fortitude had to be harnessed to tackle the route put down for a desperate shout to get peoples attention & raise funds for what the rider believes in most - Cancer Research progression. Using Extreme Downhill Mountain Biking, The White Knight Team set out to raise donations & to try to engage a younger generation to the importance of association with Cancer Research, by showing it in an exciting and cool image they can relate to. These young minds are after all our next generation of Scientists, Researchers, Campaigners and Fundraisers!

By doing so you are supporting this campaign, you can also help by sharing the video on Facebook / Twitter or any site or blog at all to give others a chance to appreciate the footage and donate also.

Nevis Range World Cup (Orange) downhill track, GoPro chestcam, Fort William -- May 2013
A quick little edit of a run down the Orange (World Cup) DH track at Nevis Range, Fort William. It got a little busy towards the bottom hence the frequent stops towards the bottom. This was the last time I rode my trusty 2008 Giant Glory DH before it was replaced with a Nukeproof Pulse.
The butt-puckering boardwalks of Ft. Bill | Mountain biking Top Chief at Fort William
Day two of the UK trip brought us to Ft. William and the Top Chief downhill trail at Nevis Range. This one used to be called Red Giant, but has been reworked. I've seen photos and videos of these crazy boardwalks for a few years now, and riding them was quite ridiculous and scary.
This was easily one of the best trails I've ever ridden. It is challenging, fun and scary on every single run.

Nevis Range in Fort William, home to the UK’s only mountain gondola; is the mountain experience for all seasons. Activities such as winter snowsports, climbing, mountain biking, Tree Adventure, and Zoomtrax tubing slide.
Nevis Range in Fort William is home to the UK’s only mountain gondola, transporting visitors to 650m on the mountain of Aonach Mor. You'll find a range of activities for all ages, both on the mountain, and around the gondola base station.
At the gondola base station there are over 25 miles of trails through Leanachan Forest to explore on foot or bike. With all routes graded from easy to expert, from a short stroll to an extremely challenging walk, there’s something for everyone. Trail maps are available from the main ticket office.
Situated on the edge of Leanachan Forest is Tree Adventure – a series of exciting treetop ropes courses. Tackle the Barn Owl, Red Fox and Wildcat before testing your nerves on the Swoop. There’s even the smaller Squirrel course for little adventurers. It’s fun and challenging for kids and grown-ups and absolutely no experience necessary. Tree Adventure is open spring – autumn and closed in winter.
Nevis Range boasts a vast range of mountain bike trails varying from relaxing forest trails suitable for even the most inexperienced of riders to cross country and downhill trails. Home to the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, ride the official world cup downhill track from the gondola top station all the way to the finish area at the base station car park. There is also onsite bike hire and bike school for guiding and coaching on the downhill and cross country trails.
Located just outside the top station building is the Zoomtrax, a 40m tubing slide. Enjoy whizzing down the slope in an inflatable ring, fun for all ages and no skill required. Best of all it’s free! Open from 11am-2pm – summer school holidays.
In winter Nevis Range offers skiing and snowboarding to 1190m on the mountain of Aonach Mor, often lasting into the spring season. There are a range of green and blue graded runs, perfect for beginners, located close to the gondola top station. Further up the mountain, there is an extensive network of red and black runs as well as the acclaimed boardwise terrain park and Back Corries off-piste runs. Nevis Range is also popular with winter climbers and offers gondola and chair uplift to 870m. Alternative winter activities include sledging, snowshoeing and snow biking.

Fort William and Glen Nevis Scotland
A visit to Fort William and Glen Nevis Scotland on the West Highland Way is always refreshing. Fort William is a major tourist centre with Glen Coe just to the south, Aonach Mòr to the north and Glenfinnan to the west, on the Road to the Isles. It is an important centre for hillwalking and climbing due to its proximity to Glen Nevis Scotland, Ben Nevis and many other Munro mountains, marketing itself as the Outdoor Capital of the UK. It is also known for its nearby downhill mountain bike track and its connection to the West Highland Way from Glasgow and the Great Glen Way; a walk/cycle way from Inverness to Fort William through the Great Glen.

Beginners guide to World Cup Downhill Track in Fort William, Scotland
I ride one of my bucket list tracks, the World Cup Downhill track in Fort William in Scotland. It is raining on the day I go so am nervous about the track. See if I can get down in one piece. I ride the Trek Slash hired from Nevis cycles.
Vlog 62 - Downhill Enduro At Fort William
Hey folks! As some of you may have seen, I borrowed a brill Stage 6 bike from Orange, this was so I could enter the Downhill Enduro at Fort William, the Stage 6 being a bit more gravity friendly than the Four.
If you've not heard of this event, you get 6 hours to do as many runs down the Fort Bill race track as possible. I've always wanted to try the DH track and this seemed like a good chance to get as many tries as I can!
I loved the Orange Stage 6, it's my first time on 29 wheels and they felt great, it was quick and did great on the jumps. Unfortunately despite trying a few tips to reduce arm pump I still got it pretty badly. I also had a tough time with rims that didn't hold onto my tyres...a few more layers of rim tape seemed to sort it in the end. I would also definitely recommend a chain device if you plan on riding this track, it's a LOT rougher than I had thought and a simple narrow-wide chainring was not enough.
I'm a bit gutted I couldn't manage more but I don't want to push myself too far and end up crashing and injuring myself.
MASSIVE thanks to the organisers for putting on the event, to ORange for sending me the awesome bike, Continental for the tyres, Magura for the MT7s and POC for the soft goods. Also a HUGE thanks to those who helped me with getting my tyres fitted and any other advice.

Places to see in ( Fort William - UK )
Fort William is a town in the western Scottish Highlands, on the shores of Loch Linnhe. It’s known as a gateway to Ben Nevis, the U.K.’s highest peak, and Glen Nevis valley, home to Steall Falls. The nearby Nevis Range Mountain Resort has ski runs and forest trails. In the town centre, the West Highland Museum focused on regional life and history.
Fort William is a major tourist centre, with Glen Coe just to the south, Aonach Mòr to the east and Glenfinnan to the west, on the Road to the Isles. Fort William is a centre for hillwalking and climbing due to its proximity to Ben Nevis and many other Munro mountains. It is also known for its nearby downhill mountain bike track. Fort William is the start/end of both the West Highland Way (Milngavie-Fort William) and the Great Glen Way (a walk/cycle way Fort William-Inverness).
Fort William lies at the southern end of the Great Glen, Fort William lies near the head of Loch Linnhe, one of Scotland's longest sea lochs, beside the mouth of the rivers Nevis and Lochy. They join in the intertidal zone and briefly become one river before discharging to the sea. The town and its suburbs are surrounded by picturesque mountains. It is also on the shore of Loch Eil. It is close to Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles, Glen Nevis and the town of Achnaphubuil, is on the opposite shore of the loch. When the railway opened to Fort William on 7 August 1894, the station was given prime position at the south end of the town. The consequence was that the town was separated from the lochside by railway tracks until the 1970s when the present by-pass was built, and the station was re-located to the north end.
The town of Fort William is centred on the High Street, which was pedestrianised in the 1990s. Off this there are several squares. Monzie Square (named after the Cameron Campbells of Monzie, Perthshire, former landowners in the town), Station Square, where the long-since demolished railway station used to be, Gordon Square (named for the Gordons, who owned land where the town now stands in the late 18th century, when the town was named Gordonsburgh), and Cameron Square — formerly known as Town Hall Square. There is also Fraser Square which is not so square-like since it now opens out into Middle Street but it still houses the Imperial Hotel.
The West Highland Line passes through Fort William. Owing to the difficult terrain in the area, the line from Glasgow, to the south, enters from the northeast. Trains from Glasgow to Mallaig, the terminus of the line, have to reverse at Fort William railway station.
Movies filmed in or near Fort William include Being Human, Braveheart, Highlander, Restless Natives, the Harry Potter series and Rob Roy. The TV series Rockface was filmed mainly around Fort William and some scenes of Monarch of the Glen were filmed around Lochaber although mostly near Newtonmore. Local Hero shot the internal Houston scenes in Fort William.
