NPS4x Rnd 1 Report
A record entry of 143 riders raced their socks off at Uk Bike Park on Sunday. The weather had played havoc in the lead upto the race but with a whole load of new riders and three guys even making the trip all the way from Holland to race the was most definitely on. Talk on Bookface was of deep mud on the track and when the Dirt-Wars competition was cancelled rumours spread of the race being cancelled but this is mountain biking and a bit of mud isn’t going to stop the fun! It came as a bit of a shock to lot of 4x racers having to change their normal slick tyres to spiky mud tyres to race. This track had the longest start straight of any 4x track and nearly 300meters long, changes over the winter had thrown in two new corners half way down to make racing closer, other changes included new corners lower the track and new jumps and rollers these were soft from all the rain so made racing slow. The racing started with 4 motos & with 10 categories racing that adds upto over 150 motos to get thought before we got to the 1/4 finals. Racing ran like clockwork and come finals time the track drying into a gloop that made racing slow for younger riders.Latest news
