Hi everyone

I've been getting into Downhill racing, not especially good but keen to progress. Done a couple of races at Aston Hill and a few local ones at Froyle, Rogate etc. It'd be good to get a few pointers and find people to ride with

Cheers

Adam

Yo welcome adam - lots of DH related stuff going on here http://www.essexhertsmtb.co.uk/mountain-bike-downhill/ - take your pic.

Lots of gravity fed away days too

Whats Froyle like? Never ridden there.

Welcome along dude!

Welcome and Hi Adam, I tried a couple of the Rogate races earlier this year and didn't do too well but I'm thinking of trying again. Are you enterinng the one there next week Sun 23rd?

Froyle's good - it's got some quite steep bits, and there's a pump track in a shed. Interesting in the wet though as the ground is chalk/clay.

Thanks for the forum link, I'll keep my eye on it. As for the Rogate race, not sure at the moment as got a few things going on that weekend. Will post somewhere if I do go though. Did you do the race on April 1st? I don't think I've crashed more in one day than that...

that was a bad day for me http://pgre.photoshelter.com/gallery-im ... BKZg4X0sj8

The infamous rooty corner

Love how casual Matey in the red Oakley top is

Wow there is some superb face planting going on there

Haha awesome! That was one hell of a corner!

I think he had seen so many crashes by then that he was used to it! He said he thought I was gonna land on the tree stump

Thanks, I think it is my finest to date. Properly ate dirt, I think I can still taste it
