Welcome to another video showing the brand new MTB trails at Laggan Wolftrax. There have been so many new mountain biking trails in Scotland this year with new trails being built at Tarland and in Glentress. Now it is Laggan’s turn with a brand new set of MTB trails built by the wonderful CRC.
Laggan has trails for all abilities. It is one of Scotland’s most unique trail centres, and certainly one of the rockiest. In this video I shoot the new trails using POV, third person and drone footage.
If you want to head straight to the POV then use the chapters below to find it.
I hope you enjoy the new Laggan MTB trails.

Hello and welcome back to the channel for a super exciting video today so the news is Scotland has more new trails 2023 has seen some amazing stuff in terms of Trail networks in Scotland and I’m so excited because we’re at lagging today nestled in the kangs if you don’t
Know about lagging laging is is one of Scotland’s most unique Trail centers uh the the scenery the structure of the trails the Rocks the big big news is that lagin has had company CRC in constructing Trails if you don’t know about CRC well let’s just say they are
Renowned for building some of the best trails in Scotland and we have a few new kilom of trail to come and ride to so I’m here today to take you down the trails for some POV action showcase the trails for you so that when you make the
Pilgrimage to this place you will know what to expect we are hoping today to be riding with some of the trail Builders some of the people that have made this happen and we’re going to try and capture on camera just some of the the shots and the views and experiences that
Make this place unique so yeah I’m not going to say much more than that we’ll take on the journey really hope you enjoy the trails today absolutely can’t wait to show you them right so just before we get started um bike check I’m bringing the trail bike today um trail
Bike it’s kind of lightweight carbon 150 mil travel at the front 130 mil travel at the rear um so for for my recommendation for lagging if you can go with something like that and it full on Ural bike would be absolutely fine but actually a trail bike kind of a bit
Lighter still with some decent suspension travel you’re going to absolutely love it I think the new trails in particular are going to be so suited to this type of bike there you go first so just venturing on to First climb give and take cheeky B climb up to the new
Trails pretty nice rainbow as well I don’t know if the GoPro that but cool so cool thing is as you come up the climb can see bits of Trail look at this that’s part of the red oh so excited about riding it that looks so good so
One thing laging is now for our little techy climbs they’ obviously kept some in uh let’s see yeah that was very lagging asso those bits are so much fun and they do require a bit of thought I’m nice they’ve got um double options but yeah so far so good
Right so we’ve climbed up we’re kind at the trail head now I don’t know if I’m going to shoot this video but I think what we’re going to do first of all I just going to have a bit of a play on some of the features through show you
Some of the features and then obviously what we’ll do is we’ll give you uh full POV if you really just want to see POV um I’ll put chapters in the video so you can just skip the trails I’ll name the trails but yeah hopefully just stick
With us for the whole journey and we’ll show you uh some of the features and uh yeah uh try and uh try and show you what to expect He Right guys so do you know what we’re going to go straight in uh first Trail slaba daadu haven’t ridden this yet we had a we play there but then we just got to excited and thought let’s actually just ride some Trails also it’s October and it’s a we bit
Chilly so yeah blind run be good clock so I’ll try and remember and comment it it’s already obviously got this nice hard pack stuff but but we’ve got yeah the rock protruding too so speaking to the builders this hill is just layered with slab so they had to work with the hill
Not against it woo oh there are some big BMS we got here some bit more rock I mean this would be great tter in the Blue Trail getting used to riding over Rock but obviously nothing too Savage it’s all pretty tame oh missed out we bit what we got here
Woo oh man support on noise is Mega it’s great to have some significant burage in Scotland you w here we go more oh man you just honestly you could ride these faster I just don’t have the courage but there is so much support wow this will suit everyone a the wind you nice
A that pretty good what you in they packed a lot onto the hill Eh These are the guys that built the trails going to go down in a train with them uh a little bit apprehensive cuz they’re all pretty good Riders so we’ll see how long we stay in the train but all be good to follow so very cool to be on the trail
With the guys who built it bit of an honor for sure we built so many good trails across Scotland oh that proper junky that’s cool it’s definitely sticking with the the theme of lagging W this is so cool having to concentrate can’t commentate what we got here nice woo Air
Time wow this is so cool for all our flu nice yo lot of fun nice guys cheers for that that was awesome thank you that was cool nice buddy nice clock enjoy so first impressions are they’ve done like they’ve done a huge amount with this uh this area it’s super cool
And the red especially it’s got the the mix of flow but it’s retained that sort of classic lagging features of the rock which is so good and just in case this is your first lagging video we’ve just been filming the new trails bearing in mind there’s a
Whole Trail Network here um of Blues Reds blacks and also on that hill behind me there’s a load of uro trails off P stuff as well so yeah pretty cool so I think we’re just going to take a moment we’re actually going to come to the the the
Red actually like session a few bits how we play and then might actually then head on some of the existing lower red stuff to show you that as Well W what we got here so oh Clark I got scared this just a we oh hold on so didn’t didn’t notice that so this is black there’s a little red option black option that scared to be Jesus out of me do you want to just come down that
Bit then I don’t know what I did but I got to there and I was in it so I just had to do it yeah I feel like a woman you want I feel you want to be on the inside oh that that scares me hold on I
Don’t I don’t oh no I don’t know if I want to do it right yeah okay I might take a run into this folks cuz dotting about at the top of that is uh making me nervous hey I don’t know if I’m going to do it I’m
Going to roll up to it certainly oh that rain oh oh no I got a bit un right I know what I think I know what I’m going to do I can’t believe oh dude right going to attempt this I’m coming Clark I’m got to take a look at it again
Yes nice buddy okay it’s absolutely fine it’s definitely psychology on that one is tough though a fair play I’m Chu myself like if you come and look at that in real life guys but actually it’s a proper little vertical part of rck to so you’ve got vertical you got where
Clark is vertical step vertical step it’s intim it’s the the entry is the scary bit cuz you lose so much speed you’re worried that you’re going to but yeah guys keep an eye out for that is not straightforward right leaping leaping wolf red so this is one of the
Existing Trails used to be an orange just some of you might remember we a jumpy Trail going to head down here go get some scran yeah buddy woo nice got to love a we bit of jump pitch nice woo nice y a man so yeah lots of cool stuff to be you smooth
Woo nice nice um well we’re going to call the video there sorry for such a short video but really just wanted to showcase the the new trails of course um just a reminder if this is the first lagging video you’ve seen there’s a load more Trails than that um but anyway yeah
By the time we got on the trails and did all the filming and faing about every we run at a time but yeah I’m really stoked for lagging it’s uh an amazing addition to to have and uh yeah I mean CRC just know how to build Trails really like
Some of the wi features on it that’s going to be so much fun and yeah that that little black line was pretty gnarly so yeah hope you enjoyed the video um please give a we like if you thought it was decent and uh yeah we’ll see you again soon Cheers Oh

GoPro made that black section look like nothing! Thanks for turning around and taking another look as this gave a much better idea! Great vid 👍🤙
Trails look awesome, love the slabs! Great video 👍
Great vid again Jamie – looks like you're getting all the exclusives now – well deserved for ll the hard work you put in. Love Laggan already, so these just add a lot more!
New trails at Laggan look like they have a great mix of flow, rock gardens and a few jumps/drop offs really well made and well ridden by yourself, hopefully a sign of more new trails to come as well, thanks for sharing Jamie! 😁🤙
Love the commentating! Serious bermage in Scotland 👍🏻😁 and some jumpage too ! 👍🏻😁 Brilliant. Always loved a wee Laggan trip. Can’t wait to get back. Cheers for the heads up. Great video 🚴 🏔

Laggan was the first trail centre I rode at back in my teens, glad to see it getting some much needed updates as it hasn't changed much since. The rock mixed in with more trail centre stuff is a really nice balance (and classic Laggan), hope to ride there soon!
I like the fact you went back to finish the black. Another great vid!
Scotland well on the map for mountain biking now 💪🏻💪🏻
Amazing stuff man! I live in Kingussie and I`ve never been… Not the newest downhiller, but not the most experienced! Wondering if you or anyone else would reccommend the full face helmet for this kind of downhill stuff? Does it come down to preference (and experience I guess in a way)?
This will put laggan as a serious contender for one of the best trail centres in Scotland!
Looks good. A bit like Tarland2.
I’d like to see more Whistler style building in Scotland. Not that I’ll ride it but to develop the gifted riders in Scotland.
Might pop along on Wednesday or Thursday as I'm just in Kincraig…!!
Looks great. More new trails to try out! We have been seriously spoiled this year with new trails 😊
Another fantastic production Jamie. Love the look of the new trails. The people who build these trails are the 'salt of the earth'. Great drone footage. Just wonderful. Cheers. Stoozer. 🤠
Really happy that all these new trails are happening and coming to fruition. I just hope that the powers that be keep them maintained and keep up the momentum of adding new flow/manufactured trails
Great video thanks and cheers for letting us know they're open asmight have missed them in a trip north this week otherwise.
So looking forward to riding this at the end of the month. With the new trails, the old and epic black (Still the best in the UK by far) and the brown over the road, Laggan has it all! See you all soon! Thanks for a great vid Jamie 🙂
i wish this was closer to where i live! going to comrie croft tommorow though
what a great addition to Laggan! It needed some new trails / revamping and this looks really good! I wonder if my 100mm xc bike would be fun there or underbiked? 🤔
And every single one of them is miles away 🙁
We're getting spoilt for choice with these new trails eh? 😍
I reckon a trail bike is overkill, a 120 full sus xc bike would be fine. Besides that's the only MTB bike that I have. 😁
I was there today,bottled the black drop,met Mctrail rider and the sun was shining,all in good day
Wolftrax is and always will be ma favourite place to ride ma bike ….. i still remember the first time i rode the double black clean top to bottom …. and the scenery is just stunning …. i live in Luxembourg noo and it breaks my heart that i canny get fur a blast …. Thanks fur letting me see tho …. great job from the builders …. 👏🙏👍👊
No thanks, that surface is horrible.
Thanks Jamie!! Actually reassuring that you stopped at the black, had a few looks at it and then did it!! Allowed us to see what it was all about!😁
I was surveying on a neighbouring estate the other day and clocked the new sections. Looked pretty good from my perspective.
I was up there today…loving the new trails!
hooray a new trail thats the same as every other new flow trail in every other trail centre… what ever happened to making a new trail that fit the flavour of the area its in… its getting boring just having flow trails everywhere! switch it up please.
