The weekend of biking began on Saturday, when Emma Guy and Tracey Brunger from The Hub and Andy Barlow from Dirt School provided various coaching clinics and were impressed to see that the riders’ skill level had improved upon last year.

Sunday was competition day with the competitors allowed 2 runs on 3 separate sections of the freeride park – covering a mixture of table jumps, wooden drops, wall rides and fun boxes – whilst being judged on their fluidity and style by guest judges Frasier McNeil and Kenny Fulton from Scotland’s cycle stunt team The Clan.
