My kids nag me constantly to take them downhilling. The trouble I have is they are leaving me behind when we go out biking.
They are faster, fitter,more skilled than me
Should I run there tyre pressure's lower so i can keep up. (only Joking)
They are dh mad does anyone else have kids that are better than you?
And look what my garden has become!!! (see link)

yeah ... by my wife "get out the house and give me some peace" :?Everything in moderation ... except beer
Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer
If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
... or being punched by it, depending on the day0 -

Later this summer I am getting a mini digger in to" develop" the tracks a bit more.
The problem is they soon get bored of any changes we make saying its too easy now.
(There is more you can't see on the video)
So it is a constantly changing track, the little one wants a start ramp like fort william for goodness sake!!!
So to get the track just right we need :- northshore, start ramp wall of death.......Its all up hill down here0 -

I had to wait till I was 36 for my first full suss!You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.0 -
The two eldest boys have put up there savings towards there bikes I paid for the bulk and i pay for all repairs uplifts etc this has taught them to respect and look after there bikes they wash/dry and lube them after they get ridden.
Me and my wife both think its better to spend money on bike's than pc,s wii play stations etcIts all up hill down here0 -
