some good news
got a giro remedy & some goggles
should be arriving in a couple of days
still lacking body armour so wont be pushing as hard as i'd like
lol but woop excited to burn the gut off in some burly downhill goodness
I haven't found time to get back there recently, but I wanna go up sometime this week, it's just a long ride up there especially with a shovel on my back lol!
Sound dude. Bike is looking niiiiice, will handle DH no problemo! I didn't manage to get any pics of the woody slope, but there's defo potential. Only some big bmx jumps and a sweet (too short) berm there at the mo, but when I get the chance im guna have a crack at building some little jumps drops and berms, be around a 60 sec mini trail, jus to practice on locally. Any luck finding suitable body armor?
Do it after,that way you'll know what needs doing and what can wait. Otherwise you'll end up with bits being changed before they're due and getting charged for it
Wellll it ain't nothing special, just a nice little woody hill I want to turn into a mini dh track ;) goin up now to check it out. And it's a little further down canal from kings norton park :/
As for protection, when I go the cop I use -
Standard helmet/goggles/gloves
661 Riot elbow 26quid(ish)
661 comp knee/shin 30(sumfin)quid
Kidney belt and No Fear soft foam roost protector.
A little OTT maybe lol iv only hit the dirt 3 times and none did damage, I would recommend knee/shin for sure and a kidney belt is cheap and gives nice lower back protection.
2009?! Pretty new then! Niiice! Yeah dude get settled in on it an when your ready give us a shout an we'll hit up the cop. U anywhere near kings norton park? Me and a mate are thinking of upgrading a trail just down the canal?
Considering I built it, pretty damn good lol! Have had issues every time up the Cop tho, front brake failure last week, rear brake the week before, and the chain prefers to be off than on. Still, getting me down in one piece, defo needs more upgrades and a check over by a pro lol but looking into Cytech training so I can do that shit myself for free lol!
Safe safe dude, good Xmas and new year?? So what's the score with your ride, saw you sold up and are getting a 332? Randomly went Stile Cop yesterday and bumped into Bulldog, the Red run kills it, great to get comfortable on, we need to sort sumfin wen ur bike is sorted!
