Round 7 of the EWS took place in Ainsa, Spain this past weekend. Here are the quick one minute highlights,
and here are the extended ones, with some spectacular footage of the flash flooding later on:
This isn’t the first race we’ve seen affected by flash floods this year, and we can practically hear the American riders going “B… but… the wheel bearings!”
David started mountain biking in the 90’s, by which he means “Ineptly jumping a Saracen Kili Racer off anything available in a nearby industrial estate”. After growing up and living in some extremely flat places, David moved to Yorkshire specifically for the mountain biking. This felt like a horrible mistake at first, because the hills are so steep, but you get used to them pretty quickly.
Previously, David trifled with road and BMX, but mountain bikes always won. He’s most at peace battering down a rough trail, quietly fixing everything that does to a bike, or trying to figure out if that one click of compression damping has made things marginally better or worse. The inept jumping continues to this day.
Cool pic of Hannah Barnes getting a touch damp!
