With this video we’ve tried to film at dream spots alongside more local classics, and all the good times along the way consisting of street beers, heckling each other, spot hunting, hopping fences and capturing the moments we see in the wild. We’ve been on countless trips around the UK, as well as recent trips to Copenhagen and Barcelona to finish off the video. It’s predominantly made up of ten riders from Southport in the North West of England (Home of the legendary Northern John), and includes various other riders we’ve met along the way from and around the UK and Europe.
I think John Gav, the head man of WN bikes (the rivals) summed up what Technical Difficulties is with one line.
“Hard work, tonnes of fun and real life experiences”
