Video: Ae Forest Downhill Course Preview

George Thompson of the Revolution Bike Park Team is racing again this weekend and will be bring us another #MakingUpTheNumbers race report next week. But he’s bagged us a video to whet our appetites (and perhaps make us fear for his well-being).

The UK Downhill season gets underway properly this weekend with the first round of the Scottish Downhill Association (SDA) Series up at Ae Forest. Here’s an exclusive track preview from One Vision Global Racing’s George Gannicott.

Today’s weather there is foul, as can be seen from all the splooshes on the helmet cam. Let’s hope the weather improves – we can only assume that riders’ goggles are just as sprayed with mud and water, and some of that course looks like the kind of thing you might like to be able to see coming.

If that hasn’t frightened the pants off you (which means you’ve got more steeze than most of us in the office), there are just 40 “on the day” entries remaining, get down early on Saturday if you fancy getting muddy!

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
