That’s not Tim Breeze, Richard’s brother is it?

EDIT Actually, forget that, he’d be in his mid forties if it was. 😳

That is Tim Breeze!
Thanks for all the comments! and its not padded, just checked 🙂

That is Tim Breeze!

Must be a different one.

i think so, he hasnt got a brother called richard.

That looks fun, will have to give Hopton another visit some time. Can the DH stuff be easily linked in with it/added on at the end?

Did you shoot that a few weeks ago, because its been a mud bath of late? will be alot worse now.
Did you taco your front wheel?

Went a couple of weeks ago and that first section from the car park was sloppy deep mud and very slippy, did enjoy it and the red route criss crosses the black downhill runs in a few places so possible to add them in

no taco on the front wheel, she is true!
yea it was filmed a few weeks ago.

I went not long after it opened and it was a great little route, good to have something new on the door step.

Hats off to Pearce cycles!

The grass surfaced climb was a bit of a leg burner! 🙂

That looks really nice. More like a naturally evolved trail than a purpose built trail-centre.
Good vid too, makes me want to ride there. And +1 for the crash 🙂

thanks for all the comments guys

Taco- must be a screen twisting it 🙂

Wait for the next edit coming soon!!!!!!!!

New edit just hours away!

I’ve done uplifts there before. I’m in the area this weekend so hopefully will put in a quick lap of the red trail to check it out Sat morning. Nice to know that it looks fun! Reckon it might be running a bit slower and gloopier currently though?!

Nice vid but had to turn the sound off because that music does not float my boat….

Have you any tread on that rear tyre?
It doesn’t seem to grip on any corner.

LOL! 😆

scott make a biking specific shirt

Water Repellant, Windproof, Abrasion Resistant. These functions are not obviously shown, but hidden. The fabric’s water repellent finish will protect you from a short unexpected shower. A partial loose windproof layer inside will stop the chill on a fast descent. If you crash, internal abrasion resistant fabric will support the garment, preventing it from getting torn and ruined too quickly.

that is amazing! where can you buy this shirt from?

I believe I need one of those, just to push my partner over the edge completely.
If I stop posting soon… you’ll know why 😉

get in there!

Any premier members wanna tell me who to contact, and how much?

An option I suspose (again how much does the STW article say it should be?)

Suppose that isnt to bad with the price..

There was a national XC race at Hopton last weekend. It was amazing. Massive uphill followed by amazing 2.3 mile bermed downhill. Plus it was pretty much 30 degrees which helped!

haha, yea i would like to get back up there, but im selling up now 🙁
so if anyone wants to buy a new bike, let me know!
