nice vids!

theres noooooo way im heading out with you lot! i bottled that rooty drop to the left of the tree on video 2 :oops:

there's no rush mate, we all wait for people to catch up (unless i have to be home by 8pm :oops: )

me and sladey were talking yesterday about doing some nights out just to work on stuff that we're not too good at - like drop offs, berms and stuff without actually going for a full on ride. let us know if you're interested?

i forgot to say earlier - good to meet all the guys i hadn't met before last night 8)

Andrew_J_Heard

ye i def need to work on some technical stuff. confidence wise more than anything i suppose.

have probably dived straight in at the deep end what with trying to get skills and fitness back up as well as going for SPDs for the first time. although they felt so much more secure on the DHs.

Thewaylander

I had a good one last night,

Rally enjoyed my free ride section, cleared all bar the last table top but give me a few more goes and i'll have that sucker! then it's learning to do the step ups can do the step down though really starting to get the section to flow soon be able to add some speeeeeed in

glad you all had a good un out there, and again sorry i could stop n ride with you guys time was limtied last night.

Nice Vids again Dar 8)

Videos look good, but have left me wishing a) I wasn't sat at my desk now, and b) that I lived neared to Cwmcarn :?

We're usually up there every few weeks or so, it would be great to meet up with you guys one weekend. As long as no-one objects to riding with a girlie

Thewaylander

always like riding with girlies... as long as they proceed me on all climbs :P

Nah be good to see you again should just pop it on here when your around next.

never ridden with a girlie before but i suppose it's just the same as getting my ass kicked by a girl than the usual lads

look at the vid he's talking about...it's the section that goes along side the road after the freeride bit. i suppose it is pretty daunting if you're not that confident....i still have to pay attention riding it :shock:

Thewaylander

Ah k.

Can't feel anything down there on the big bouncer neh more ... as with all rooty things though its about holding your line, don't start moving weight or steering left and right in the middle of uhm.

Ah its the one in the dip just before or after that bastard climb...Last time I did it I missed judged everything and ate the banking much to the bemusement of my mate xD

Andrew_J_Heard

The bit I meant is the bit on the second video. After the airstream ( or whatever it's called at the top.lol.) the section after the car park.

But I think I ate some dirt on the bit your on about to. There's some frigging bastard climbs there
