"THE ONE AND ONLY!!!"

	EVR DH race	442 dagen geleden
	Well, the tracks finished apart from a few tweeks I want to do before the race. I recon It'll be around a miniute by the time you lot are finished practicing. Rab Cochbane and Gav Borland came up to help me finish it off and test it out. The track was going to be kept secret till the race weekend but Michael rode it despite being told not to, so everyone who wants to race, get up and practice now. To find the track, go up ridge 45 to the fire road, turn right and walk for 1/2 mile and look for the track crossing the road. It crosses all three fire roads so if you keep going you should find it. The winner goes into a prize draw along with the dirtjumper winner, winner of that gets a training day with Chris Ball of Dirtschool up the ski slope track and a free ride qualification if you pass. Carol and I met Chris at our coaching day, he seems a good bloke and has fantastic bike skills that you guys would benefit from. Feedback on the track was good with words like flowing and drifty being bandied around. I recon its a ripper, faster you ride the trickier it is as proved by me when I hit a tree flat out, was on a stormer of a run trying my sneeky line when I clipped a bush and sailed over the bars into a nice big Sitka Spruce. Next run up I was a bit shakey and slide out into another tree which wasn't quite so tuff, so I knocked it clean over, felled in one bang, was quite cool if I don't say so myself. I got up thinking I'd just coast the rest of the run and instantly caught my pedal on a root and went over the bars again. Minger of a run that one but I can't wait to go back up and start pinnig the track to see how fast it'll ride. Still on a semi slick rear and its grippy enough, drifts nice then hooks up. But will prob get Carey's swamp things on soon as the speeds increase. We'll see, anyways you all have a good chance of winning this so get up and practice. Anything can happen in racing and nothing is set in stone! The prize draw is only open to youth EVR club members so if your getting on a bit (Me and Gav) you can't win the prize, only the race! I'm gonna race and see how many of you weedy sprogs I can beat! Date for the race isn't set yet but will be very soon. See you all around. J
