Going to punish my xc bike! It needs to smell kona rubber the whole way down!

Yeah that is true, from what I can see on the video footage the white bike was a KTM wearing an orange top. You and your mate by any chance?

 

Lets see some footage?!

LOL! If you have not done that section of trail between mainline and the other one (Can't remember the name ) It looks a lot worse than it is to ride

 

See you at the event dude. Super, super keen!!!!

Please excuse the low quality and the very bad line's that I rode

 

If you watch it in 480p it's a lot clearer

Cool, thanks for sharing. I bet the routes will be marked or taped on race day??

Yeah I'm pretty sure that they will be marked/ taped on race day as there are some points that cross other trails ( Hence me going straight instead of turning right on stage two )

 

Going to be there again this sat and hopefully bust all four stages as you can see that I need all the I can get

[spector28]

Thanks for the share! yeah that's me in the lovely orange spandex at stage 4.

Your not supposed to leave the bedroom in that

Cool vids - just so you know - Stage 2- at 3:48 in the video we will be going onto the right hand trail ... and not straight down the hill like you did,

[nigelhicks]

actually now you have me thinking ... i'll o and ride some of it again this weeknd and then decide ... cus the trail straight down is a JOL ... it just makes the stage too short timewise as its so fast

[nigelhicks]

with regards to taping - the track will be taped on the race day - and we have red and white arrows that we will put up this week for practice.

How's the climbing up to the start of the stages?

Sorry for the wrong info.

 

Yip that's my sense of direction for you, Give me a mountain bike and I'll always take a wrong turn and get lost

[RED1408]

Yeah not too bad man, Well I'm not the fittest person out there and I made it. So I'm sure everyone will.

 

Can I suggest that they put a beer tent at the top of the stages
