[dobbyhasfriends]

You fucking twat!

someone called me ????

 

[Doomanic]

Is Sam OK? He's a trier, that's for sure!

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

Is Sam OK? He's a trier, that's for sure!

thanks mate, he is fine but bruised.. he was absolutely gassed and is still suffering

 

[Doomanic]

Does he want to come again?

 

[Healy]

Fair play to Sam gets back on and goes again

 

[Zimmerframe]

he was absolutely gassed and is still suffering

And that was just from @Doomanic 's speech ...

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

Does he want to come again?

yes! moreover I think he NEEDS to come again..
like I said, I feel for him a bit because all our riding here is on bedrock, loose rock and gravel with only the occasional dirt trail over the other side of the forest, then there is BPW that is well manicured (yea even the tech trails) so thats his first crack at that kind of terrain.
gotta work on his braking for sure.
I also had to change his rear tyre before that ride and he said on the ride and the way home that he hated it.. weird how he could notice that but I would so not too surprising I suppose.

 

[Doomanic]

What rear tyre did you fit?

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

What rear tyre did you fit?

after rimdinger shagged the rear rim, I fitted an assegai maxxgrip DH casing.. perhaps he needs another original tyre on there or a big betty like I have..

 

[R120]

I reckon if he had some longer shorts Sam wouldn't be crashing half as much, that much upper leg on display has gotta be distracting! Great vid.

 

[JetSetDemo]

Great vid, gutted I’m not yet fit to ride.

 

[Katie.mtb]

First video on here is the start of c2 , no room for error all the way down . Especially when wet . It’s not on strava or trail fork taken off .
Second video a little bit ceris3

This looks ace!

 

[Katie.mtb]

I've finally managed to get to get in to the forum Thanks for a great day and meeting such a nice bunch of blokes. Thanks Dom for leading. Hopefully see you all again soon.

If you like spicy I live at the bottom of Okeford Hill Bike Park

Why does Sam ride without Gloves?

 

[Zimmerframe]

Why does Sam ride without Gloves?

Less things to cut off in casualty ..

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

Why does Sam ride without Gloves?

He just doesn't like wearing them... Madness to me...

 

[Morton027]

He just doesn't like wearing them... Madness to me...

Hasn’t found the right ones maybe. I won’t ride without gloves tbh.

Looks like Sunday was good, much better than my drive to Ipswich and back lol.

 

[Doomanic]

Why does Sam ride without Gloves?

The Forum's Fastest Scotsman also rides without gloves. It's probably a feel thing, assuming you haven't blocked him I'm sure he'd be happy to explain.

 

[Mr President]

would have thought his hands were frozen on Sunday. Might explain his braking technique!

 

[Morton027]

Anyone been to one of these demo days like Specialized are running next Wednesday with the Kenevo SL?

Looks like fun and a chance to ride a much nicer bike than I could afford lol, only barrier is I don’t have £50 or a desire for the voucher spare lol

 

[Doomanic]

I've done a few, but never paid £50 for the privilege...

Got a link?

Specialized Turbo Kenevo SL Ride Experience - FOD

You are officially invited to experience a trail bike that changes everything! The power to slay monster trails! Power up to trail riding’s next level and rip the biggest trails like never before. The Kenevo Super Light is a featherweight e-MTB that redefines big mountain performance with a...

I’d jump at the chance if it weren’t for the £50 lol

Hi, I agree, I think it's out of order too. I know a couple of people in the industry and they say they do as it shows people are serious and not just going for a jolly. You'd get the money off a bike if you bought one. They don't seem to understand that it also puts off serious customers too.

 

[Morton027]

Last minute decision to go ride Verderers tomorrow with my dad followed by a sketchily planned route to Speech House and a quick blast back to the car from there.

Should be an interesting 2nd part exercise in trying not to get lost / hoping paths are where the OS Map says they are

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Where were you man?

Sorry dude got booked up. Story of 2021. Rode twice!

 

[Morton027]

If anyone happens to be around today I’ll be down around 12ish, Verderers followed by what I feel like lol

 

[Morton027]

Big shout out to Stephen who found and returned my dad’s wallet today on freeminers, you’re a star mate. Good meeting you.
