just got back mate, had a complete disaster!! hit a rock, which snapped my rear deraulier and sent it in to my spokes which bent my top cogs on my cassette, then i had to shorten the chain to try and get back to the van in one gear! but what i didnt realise was that as soon as i went over a jump my suspension stretches the chain, to which there was no play, so that sheered all four chainring bolts and detached my chainring from my crank arm! brilliant!!!!
na mate, gave it a miss! no one else was goin,its a bit shit at night on your own! well lookin forward to sunday though! had any enquiries about the 5?
Sound mate! its gettin better and better up there now! i wish i could have come with! i think im coming down with something, but hopefully ill be ok for wed night if your up for it?
Yeah providing the arms better. Theres the pearce cycles ones down in shropshire, there the n wales ones and scottish are good, just have a mooch on the net to see when the dates are.
yeah sam marshal lives close i think man, hes in carmel add him on facebook hel tell you where you can meet i guess hahah and thanks alot jord will be sure to show you the footage i get hahah
I just seen your pics then, looks nasty!. iv tried riding just up the road and hurts with presure so will just be taking it easy, iv got to have all the pins and plates out mid next year so hopefully after all that has healed il be back to normal ready to go back to Whistler :-)
Aright mate, Yeah, had a nasty off but hoping to get back on a bike soon, just going to try and get some xc in over the winter to try and get some strenth back in my arm. Hope everything is good with you!
alright mate id say the best way to start is to do the pearce series, its 300 for the whole 5 rounds or 50 for a single round, the uplifts are all amazing and dont damage your bikes at all, tracks are really good to ride to just go on the pearce cycles website and there should be a thing called events or something you should find race entries there, might not be on til next year though man
You find yourself thinking is it worth it? Even before you start drinking! But that might just be me? I'll have to get those lights off you before Wednesday if it's still ok to borrow them?
Little shit! That's what he wants! He must miss me, so he's trying to sabotage my downhill! Ha ha, he'll never stop me riding the mountains, just man and the worlds most efficient vehicle ever invented, taking on the elements! You can't beat that! Unless you prefer riding round in circles in the mud???? I think not!!! Just ignore anything he says, he will continue to try and turn us to the dark side!!! Never!!!!!!!!
