Old blokes who should know better.....

[Zimmerframe]

You are obviously personally relating to the fact that there was lots of crashes ..

That was a lot ?

 

[MountainBoy]

That was a lot ?

Those were crashes?

I thought they were just brief pauses in the riding.

Always fun to race against the clock every now and then to see where you stand . Must be great fun racing with your boy

loved it mate, never done it before and probably wouldnt have but doing it with Sam made it worthwhile

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

Had a blast and knew that Sam would beat me but some of the difference in stage times was huge.. I was better on the smoother stages and he was better on the sender stages

S2 Run 1.

You were 2:51, Sam was 5:28

Did he do it twice, or what?

 

[Doomanic]

That's probably the run when he clattered that tree.

there was a tree incident on that run
I only just noticed that aside from the runs where we would have crashed, there was a pretty big improvement for each run.. cool

Well done mate, good to see you giving racing a try.
Good to see no serious injuries and a fun time was had by all

 

[Zimmerframe]

I dunno, I suspect the young lady of the tree was pretty heartbroken, the timings show he only chatted (or groaned) for about two minutes and then he just went straight past her the next time.

You should do it, it's fucking awesome!

 

[steve_sordy]

You should do it, it's fucking awesome!

Check whether you have a head for heights first!

 

[Doomanic]

I don't. It was still awesome!

 

[RustyMTB]

You don't need a head for heights for long though.

I started this thread in February 2020 when I basically started riding again after a very long break.
I might as well have never ridden before but I didn't know that at the time.
I have learned a lot since then and yesterday, for the first time I sent something really scary being fairly confident that I could clear it, it was an amazing feeling that I wish I could share with all of you.

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

doesn't matter how many times you ride popty ping, it never gets old..

 

[Doomanic]

Popty Ping is epic!

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

Popty Ping is epic!

yes, yes it is !!!!!!
bloody fast as well

 

[Bones]

I will be back there in a couple of weeks
I also had the same problem as you, being my wheels came off the ground by at least 50mm
Must take some sick bags this time

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

stage 2 from the Taff Buggy enduro !
great stage, we both rode it 4 times I think and on this one where I was very very tired I got my best time by 3 seconds and Sam, possibly because of following me (I dont know) got his best time by three seconds but probably could have gone faster without me in the way !

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

is it the most fun red ?
not ' the best red'
but the most fun...

 

[Doomanic]

The first time I rode Hotstepper that big rock drop scared the shit out of me. The last time I rode it I didn't even notice it and thought I'd missed it!

theres a pretty big drop shortly before it but the big one is kinda off the trail, as you know you gotta turn off to do it, the main line goes around but its worth turning off..
I need more air in my fork, bottomed it out twice on that drop.

Sketchy day at Bikepark Wales yesterday....

Root Manoeuvres is a sweet trail but bloody exhausting

Great video! First time I done it was the final run on a wet day 1st time at BPW.

It finished me off that’s for sure

its definitely not a 'last trail of the day' type of trail
