Cotic soul with pikes.
Was back in 06 so i’d only been riding off road for a couple of years and had already collapsed a lung and tore my acj riding like an ejet a few month prior.
This was also my first ride on substantially rocky stuff so it kinda spooked me when i first saw just how rocky the area was.
Then from the top myself and a gathering of other mongs from mlehworld began the descent, some were armoured most were on full sussers.
I found myself up with the lead 3 riders and battered and clattered my way down, only in two places did i pull up and stop, even though i’d just cleaned a harder section, albeit with more luck than skill.
No armour or FF for me, though i never do even when messing aboot on DH trails.
The simple fact is Rangers is cleanable on any bike, it’s been done over the years by many riders, only speed management and lack of confidence will effect whether you can do it or not.
I’m only an average rider so if i can do it, it’s within the abilities of most of you.
