This sounds like Whytes? is it the same bits?kaiser83 wrote:Thewaylander wrote:Really you liek the black bit? not flowing or steep enough overall for my taste lol, black sections should have you pedaling, they should have you squeeling!
Nah its alright, can be a laugh bar the crap boardwalk bits.. they just seem a bit pointless to me
agreed on the boardwalk sections, board walk should be narrow and high from the floor this is neither
the black section is good but you have to really attack it to get you squeeling!0 -
You have to pedal lots, but there is nothing on it to make anyone squeel surely? its not really very steep, there are 0 roots, but some rocks.
As soon as there is a jump in a sectiont hey call it black but hey ho, it is a fun section if you have the energy to blast it, but with 40+k of ridig, you end up cruising sections on my bike if it's not steep lol. 0 -

Did a little trip round W2 yesterday in the sun gonna figure out a short cut across so i can skip the whites decent and do skylines cos Whites decent is total shoot.... 0

Thewaybender if its better then maybe we should do that on the day?0
-
I think we should Bumboy , Will have to get on the maps, i know there is a fire track from the join between Wall n Whites just before the energy section you can use to get across just gotta figure it out will find a map at somepoint. 0
-
You can do it from two places, one from the end of energy or from the end of the next section good wood.
Fairly straightforward to find if you have a look at the trail map on afans website.Orange P7 2007

Tidy i normally walk around eye shut, and there isn't any of whites worth riding after Windy point, Was playing on the jumps in the energy section oh my they were terrible
0 -
I forgot that You can do it from before energy but it's a boring fireroad slog out of the valley to the bottom of the black run.
Might as well do energy tbh
I'm tempted to come for the ride but I last rode w2 after a month or two off the bike and I was broken for days! Need to get my fitness back upOrange P7 2007

I really enjoy the energy section, its my party and i want to do it! [/babyrant]0
-
LOL fair enough, I will pedal what ever
I just find the jumps at the start badly set up, and then the following section the side boarded up through the trees to flat, if it gets and you push the edge in it gives in wierd and wonderful ways lol0 -
Thewaybender I love the top bit, ok there not ideal, and the boards always give me this idea that yeah i'll just pop up a little more, then i go too fast into a corner almost hit a tree and fall off the side of the grit. same bit every time :roll:0
