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

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...

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 :o
