I ride the Verderers and Freeminer trails fairly regularly and I’ve got the itch to try some of the DH runs that the forest has to offer.
I’m ok with drops and small jumps and I’m guessing that I could roll some of the stuff?
I don’t know any one that can show me how, so my questions are.
Flat or SPD’s (I’m normally clipped in)?
Is it best to use a full face helmet?
456 (with 140 rev’s) or 26″ Camber (120 FS)?
Is there a beginner friendly trail or should I play pin the tail on the donkey and let fate choose?
Shall I get a friend to film it as £200 from you’ve been framed could go towards fixing the bike?
Any advice appreciated.
