Our multi-discipline solo-bike event that’s happening on the weekend of July 4-5th is attracting interest with gathering pace. A lot of folk with piqued interests have been asking what the “Downhill” discipline will be like.
So here’s a little video we knocked together t’other day with the help of Brant from event sponsor Tweak Bikes and Ed from Great Rock Guiding…
Orange Switch 6er. Stif Squatcher. Schwalbe Magic Mary Purple Addix front. Maxxis DHR II 3C MaxxTerra rear. Coil fan. Ebikes are not evil.
I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld.
Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.
I’m thinking Little Audrey in jey mode avec Kenda Karmas und de Crossmaxes for the XC and burlyed up with Big Earlz for the downhillin. 1×9 will be fine. 1×9 will be fine. 1×9 will be fine. 1×9 will be fine. There see I’m believing it already.
Its the middle third of the “red” downhill for those who don’t know
makes me smile that people can’t ride their bikes/ walk up the 500m into the quarry
There’s a difference between “can’t” and “would prefer not to” 🙂
Any news on how and when we can enter yet then? Or have I missed it?
D0NK – keep an eye on the front page this afternoon 😉
Dependuing on DONKS classic trials skills, i think I’ll stick a fiver on him to win:)
Sounds a good fun event, could well be tempted to give it a go.
I’ll be there. But my Pace doesn’t like the look of all that rocky gnarlyness and will be staying at home.
Dave360 – wait ’til you see the video of the XC course maybe..? 😉
