I don’t think this is a good advert?

Found a great video then post it up here. It doesn't have to be about bikes.

I’ve just found this video I’m not sure it’s how green laneing needs portraying?

Not a good advert. Mixing that, pedestrians, small animals and horses in one place cannot be a good idea. I live on a rural road beside a stables and a riding school and have to say the best of neighbours. But if I meet them on the road, as I do, I stop and kill the engine and let them pass. Horses can be quite used to traffic, but not to motorbikes.

Demonstrating a skilled trials rider and their skills might present a better image.

No, it really isn't very helpful.

I think it was tongue in cheek to go with company name/ image and some looks like its filmed on a motocross track BUT this is exactly the type of imagery that will jumped on by the anti trailriding brigade. Unfortunately years of hard work by TRF members and others is undermined by a few minutes of irresponsible filming, it will most probably be in the next GLEAM bulletin and quoted completely out of context.
Typical trendy marketing, sell bikes f##k the bad press to trailriding as the bad boy ( knob head ) imagery is what they were aiming for.
Shame he didn't ride through some bramble filled byway with his bare arms and see how macho he looked :oops:
