North Bristol Mountain Bike Club

The vids look really good and the riding is real good too... it looks like a great day.

Blimey that's sounds like it was touch and go, I was going to suggest we go there once the uplift is running again. Nice angle Paul on the camera, I will have to look at that with mine. Shame about ManU mot staying top NOT :loser

Intetesting UKBP News here. Uplift will be running again in June.

I posted on another thread. When Me and Tim did cannock I took a tumble on the black section and hurt my back. I was going OTB but was stopped by a tree. If you imagine bending over backwards and trying to get the back of your head to touch your arse you are in the ballpark. It gave me quite a scare.

Just got to keep stretching it now to stop seizing up. Should be ok later in the week.

I've uploaded a bit of footage as well. Rotating the images and subsequently uploading via youtube seems to have destroyed the quality, but you get the idea. Had to come up with an appropriate soundtrack though.......

Fair play to Grant an my bruv for hitting everything on their first trip up there on the DH rigs. I'd like to think it was our expert guidance that got them through it, but I think we all know that's not true

You're right Glyn, be good to get some longer runs in soon. I'm keen for a UK Bike Park uplift as soon as it's running again. If not, I can vouch for a push up day at FoD as a good option. Although it makes it a bit easier, I'm not convinced the uplift at FoD is entirely necessary as it doesn't take that long to push back up again. Week after next maybe (Sun 20th May)?

I think that's the problem back down off the high and now the knee and ankle are swollen and hurting, the morning will be painful me thinks, what have you done?
