Hi All,

I've just booked myself an uplift at BPW for 29 August. Will be my first time at a bike park so if anyone is planning on being there would be good to catch up and get a few tips.

Btw, before anyone makes the suggestion - the full face helmet and body armour are also booked!

Cheers

There is a massive crowd of us going to be there that day! good choice of day to go.

Tips:
Big brass balls,
Speed is your friend,
get to the bus first,
dont come off and break your wrist (matt)

I'll be on the black Zesty.

I'll be on a white transition covert walking around like robocop

DAMMIT!!

On holiday in Mexico!

Have fun!

Anyone able to offer a lift? I could drive to whoever is able to offer it.

Tips.

Take a waterproof and another top maybe, weather last time was bonkers, went from warm to hail and back again and the very top where all the runs start is the most desolate windsweep place ive ever seen.

Get the hang of berms if you havnt already, hitting them at speed is required, they are nice n smooth..unlike the Alps for example where there are braking bumps galore.

As with any DH long run trails, make sure your brakes are top notch, adjusted for reach and are working fine, etc. Also good idea to have play with suspension, the Red runs in particular were quite rocky so its nice to be able to soak up the bumps.

I'm going too

saw today that the uplift is fully booked, but if people can organise another 12 names (post on sinngletrack and pinkbike ?) they'll shove on another bus !

If anyone needs to drop out or has a spare uplift ticket then ill take it.

Have fun at BPW everyone. Wish I could have come but I've got too many work commitments.
